West Wilson<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s exit from Summer House<\/em><\/a> isn\u2019t a surprise to a large number of Bravo fans after his controversial relationship with Amanda Batula<\/strong><\/a> shook the cast to its core \u2014 but how did the arguably inevitable goodbye all go down?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a mutual decision between the network and West,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly<\/em>, noting that West, 31, went into the season 10 reunion \u201calready feeling like his time on the show was coming to an end.\u201d (Us<\/em> confirmed<\/a> on Monday, June 15, that West is not returning to the hit reality series.)<\/p>\n

The insider notes that after the three-part reunion aired<\/a> \u2014 much of which was focused on his relationship with Amanda, 34, following her split from husband Kyle Cooke<\/strong><\/a> in January \u2014 West\u2019s future on the show was seemingly set in stone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became even clearer that there wasn\u2019t a long-term fit anymore,\u201d the source says. \u201cHe is at peace with the decision and is focusing on his podcast and other business ventures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSummer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula\u2019s relationship is still going strong \u2014 even with the public backlash. \u201cWest and Amanda are still dating,\u201d a source exclusively tells Us Weekly, revealing that \u201cthe cast doesn\u2019t think they\u2019re going to last.\u201d Despite their costars\u2019 doubts about the romance, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, are moving [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A second source exclusively tells Us<\/em> that there was more behind-the-scenes drama between West and his castmates than his controversial romance with Amanda. (West\u2019s past relationship with Ciara Miller<\/strong><\/a>, one of Amanda\u2019s closest friends, also caused tension among the group in addition to his betrayal of Kyle, 43, with the Amanda hookup.)<\/p>\n

According to the second insider, West wasn\u2019t asked back for season 11 because he \u201ctried to get Kyle, Lindsay [Hubbard]<\/strong><\/a> and Carl [Radke]<\/strong><\/a> fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis goal was to be with Amanda and then just film with his friends,\u201d the source claims.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWest Wilson weighed in on Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula\u2019s marriage \u2014 and rocky relationship \u2014 two months before confirming his romance with Amanda. \u201cThey are very different people,\u201d West, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly in January of Kyle, 43, and Amanda, 34, after the then-couple\u2019s marriage struggles were teased in a trailer for season [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kyle, Lindsay, 39, and Carl, 41, are the three original Summer House<\/em> stars with Amanda initially being Kyle\u2019s \u201cgirlfriend\u201d on the show season 1 before being upgraded to a full-time cast member.<\/p>\n

West, meanwhile, didn\u2019t join the Bravo series until season 8 alongside Jesse Solomon<\/strong><\/a>, both of whom quickly became fan favorites.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s told producers that Lindsay shouldn\u2019t film pregnant and being a new mom because it\u2019s a show about singles and having fun in the summer,\u201d the second source tells Us<\/em>, referring to Lindsay shooting season 9 while she was expecting her first baby. (Lindsay welcomed daughter Gemma with now-ex-boyfriend Turner Kufe<\/strong> in December 2024<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The insider adds, \u201cAmanda knew about that and Lindsay was pissed<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to Kyle and Carl, West tried to make the BFFs \u201clook bad,\u201d telling producers behind the scenes that the show \u201cwould be better with him and new friends,\u201d the source says.<\/p>\n

Outside of his alleged personality disputes, West \u201cdidn\u2019t show his personal life on the show and he was dating other women who no one knew about,\u201d which the insider tells Us<\/em> played part in his departure.<\/p>\n

The rest of the cast is not \u201cspeaking\u201d to Amanda<\/a>, so the insider says it\u2019s \u201cstill up in the air if she\u2019s going to come back\u201d for season 11.<\/p>\n

When it comes to Amanda and West\u2019s future as a couple, the first source says Kyle and Lindsay have \u201cjoked\u201d that they \u201care not going to last.\u201d<\/p>\n
