Dolores Catania is standing by Ciara Miller as her Summer House co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirm their romance.
“And remember this: two people can keep a secret even if one of them is dead,” Catania cheekily said on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” Monday when asked about the scandal at the premiere of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” a day before Batula and Wilson confirmed their romance on Instagram.
“You know, in this world, people come up with receipts. If it’s out there, we’ll see it.”
In a joint interview with Catania and RHORI star Liz McGraw, both women praised Miller’s “true beauty.”
Catania and Miller, in particular, became very close when they both competed on Season 3 of “The Traitors US.”
The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star made it clear that she supports Miller, but she also had some words of wisdom for the entire “Summer House” cast.
“Everyone, stay strong. Anyone hurt in this situation, they’re all part of our family. I just want everyone to be okay.”
Catania also said she would like to “sit down” with the cast and “talk about life experiences and things like that.”
Rumors of a relationship between Batula, 34, and Wilson, 30, began earlier this month when a source told Dumois that the two were “held hands under a table and were seen openly flirting under the table” at an event in New York City.
Many fans were quick to point out how their relationship affected Miller, considering that Miller dated Wilson in Season 8 of “Summer House” and still harbors feelings for him in Season 10, which is currently airing.
The 30-year-old model supported Batula through her recent separation from estranged husband Kyle Cook.
Page Six exclusively reported last week that speculation about Wilson and Batula’s romance caused a rift in Batula’s friendship with Miller.
The two good friends were scheduled to film a joint Amazon Live presentation on Ollie’s vitamins and supplements on March 24, but ended up doing it separately.
Eagle-eyed fans have noted that they haven’t been liking each other’s Instagram posts in recent weeks, and it appears they haven’t liked many of their past posts.
Amanda and West confirmed the rumors on Instagram on Tuesday, saying, “We had no intention of intentionally hiding anything. Given the complex relationship dynamics and intense scrutiny that comes with appearing on a reality show, we needed some space to process things privately before speaking about it.”
“We have known each other as friends over the years, through ups and downs, but the recent developments were something neither of us expected.”
They added, “Their connection was born out of a genuine friendship over many years.”
“As our emotions change, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we are feeling,” the statement continued. “We also recognize that this has an impact beyond just us, and we never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.”
Page Six confirmed that the two are in a “serious relationship.”
“This is more than just an affair,” the source insisted, adding that her “Summer House” co-stars, including Miller and Cooke, are “furious” and “disappointed.”
