Fans have been waiting with bated breath to learn more about West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s romance timeline — and part 1 of the Summer House reunion finally pulled back the curtain.
“When we were out, I kinda looked at Amanda and I was like, ‘Am I f***ing crazy or is there a little something going on here?’” West, 31, told host Andy Cohen on the Tuesday, May 26, episode when asked who made the first move.
West and Amanda, 34, then both confirmed that their first kiss was “end of February after brunch.” (Jesse Solomon confirmed in April that West went to brunch with the boys in February and then dipped out to spend time with Amanda, but never told them that’s where he was going.)
“When did you first sleep together?” Andy, 57, asked the pair, who were seated next to each other.
“After the statement,” Amanda responded, referring to their March 31 declaration that they are dating. “I mean, not that night.”
As the reunion went on, West’s ex-girlfriend and Amanda’s one-time BFF Ciara Miller put them both in the hot seat. “Was it all bulls***?” Ciara, 30, asked West about his time with her, before turning to them both.
“You and Amanda feels [sic] like the best type of revenge that you could execute. And honestly, claps to you,” she quipped.
Elsewhere in the reunion, Ciara revealed a series of text messages with Amanda in which she denied her romance with West, only to later be caught in her lies due to their timelines.

The reunion was taped on April 23, and the arrivals showed the tension between the cast instantly. The boys all shared a dressing room and talked about the drama between Amanda and West before they took the stage.
KJ Dillard revealed that he was “supposed to go” to the New York Yankees game with West on April 17, but after he confirmed his romance with Amanda in late March, he opted not to go. (Amanda went with West instead and they were photographed kissing in the stands.)
“We’re not friends anymore. It hurts. I considered him a brother,” KJ told the guys.
Meanwhile, when West arrived he was sharing a room with Amanda, whom he kissed as soon as they were together. West claimed he felt “zen” and then laid on Amanda’s legs as they waited to get ready.
Ciara and Kyle Cooke, for their part, met up backstage and shared a big hug. Ciara proceeded to apologize to Kyle for not realizing he was “bottoming out” toward the end of summer. (Kyle went off on the group — and fought Carl Radke — during their final house dinner.)
“I’m sorry. I really misunderstood you the whole summer,” she told him, as they agreed to take the high road during the reunion. (Kyle, 43, was married to Amanda four years before their split in January. He has since called out West over his choice to date his estranged wife without being transparent about his actions.)
West’s Nude Pics
After taking the stage, West got a text about his nude photos making their rounds on the internet. When the cast informed him that they already heard the news that morning, Amanda replied, “So weird, I’ve never gotten any.”
Jesse joked, “I’ve got the nude,” confirming three pictures were being sent around. West was surprised but didn’t say much more as the cameras officially began shooting the reunion.
Ciara Details Her Suspicions

During the early moments of the reunion, Andy asked Ciara “when and why” she first suspected something was happening between West and Amanda. She pointed to January 17 as the date she started to wonder if they were hooking up.
“I went to call Amanda to ask her out to drinks with me and Mia [Calabrese] and her location was at West’s house. So I called. Texted. She didn’t answer,” Ciara claimed.
Amanda said she “answered in 30 minutes,” but Ciara noted it was only after Mia reached out as well.
Amanda then claimed that she was at West’s house that day because he was “there for me all summer and was checking in.” Ciara argued that she did the same, but Amanda was allegedly avoiding her.
“How many times have I asked you to hang out … and you act like your f***ing phone doesn’t work?” Ciara quipped.
Mia then accused Amanda of “prioritizing” her friendship with West over Ciara, which she denied.
“I had an awakening. I was living on my own. I separated from my ex. I was trying to prioritize myself,” Amanda alleged. “I was not just hanging out with West.”
After Ciara claimed that Amanda’s new “friends” were all of West friends Amanda told her to “f*** off.”
Ciara then clapped back, saying, “Shut the f*** up Amanda, you don’t want to cross this f***ing bridge with me. I don’t see your man sticking up for you now, huh.”
