Amanda Batula will not return to "Summer House" after 10 seasons, following the bombshell revelation of her relationship with housemate West Wilson.

Batula will not appear on the upcoming 11th season of the Bravo show, Variety and Deadline reported Monday, June 29. TMZ was first to report the news.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for the show and Batula for comment.

The revelation comes days after Wilson confirmed rumors that he would not be back for the next installment of "Summer House." Wilson, who previously dated Batula's close friend Ciara Miller, and Batula, who announced her split from husband Kyle Cooke in January, went public with their relationship in a March 31 social media statement.

Prior to this, the two denied romantic interest both publicly and in private conversations.

During the "Summer House" reunion, Wilson and Batula provided a vague timeline of their relationship, which did little to satisfy their castmates' curiosity.

Lindsay Hubbard, in part one of the reunion, predicted Wilson and Batula’s relationship would eventually end. But Miller said, "Maybe they’ll be together because I honestly think that the best woman for West is someone who’s not going to check him on anything, and that’s totally Amanda. She’s very mute. She’s going to be that weak figure that he needs, and he can always be the star in the relationship."

The remarks brought tears to Batula’s eyes and moved Cooke to come to his ex’s defense. "That was a little harsh," he whispered tenderly to Miller.

"Maybe this will be a huge mistake, and I’ll wake up one day and realize it," Batula said during part three of the reunion. "It’s just hard to sit on this stage and try to explain myself when no one’s going to listen."

Batula first appeared on "Summer House" in Season 1 and became a main cast member as Cooke's girlfriend beginning in the second season. She is featured on the spinoff show "In The City," which documented her and Cooke's marital challenges.

Wilson was introduced in Season 8, which aired in 2024. During filming, he and Miller grew close and dated throughout the fall and ended things in December 2023, though the two kissed in the Season 10 finale and Miller insisted she'd slept over at his house after the cameras were put down.

Lindsay Hubbard told Amanda Batula: 'No place for people like that in my life'

Even if Batula were to return to "Summer House," signs pointed to the reality star receiving a chilly reception from her castmates.

Hubbard wrote in a June 16 Threads post that in an unaired moment from the post-reunion "Summer House: The Aftermath" she'd told Batula, "in order to be friends with me, I need my friends to show integrity, character, and better decision making skills. And until that happens… unfortunately, there’s no place for people like that in my life."

During the bonus sit-down, Batula and Hubbard went back and forth on how Batula's romance with Wilson unfolded, and Hubbard encouraged her Hamptons housemate to work on her self-worth by, in part, detaching from Wilson's "sinking ship."
