Ciara Miller brutally rejected Amanda Batula’s apology for her secret relationship with West Wilson during the third and final part of the “Summer House” season 10 reunion on Tuesday.
Host Andy Cohen gave Batula the floor and, as the two met face-to-face for the first time since the scandal broke, he finally apologized profusely to Miller for secretly having an affair with his model ex-girlfriend.
“This was a very confusing and crazy time. There were a lot of emotions that were sorted out. I developed feelings for someone I shouldn’t have in a way I didn’t expect,” Batula began.
“I couldn’t sleep, I didn’t eat, and I was thinking about how this would affect our friendship and the fact that such feelings even existed. It drove me crazy. I’m so sorry for betraying your trust. It kills me to think that I caused you this pain.”
“No, you’re not, Amanda,” Miller replied angrily. “This motherfucker is texting me 24 hours before he finally releases a statement admitting the truth. Meanwhile, I’m calling Kyle (Cook) saying, ‘What the heck is this?'”
Ms Miller broke down in tears as she recalled how Batula was “just there” during the breakdown of her marriage to Cook, who separated in January.
The former nurse also heartbreakingly said co-star Lindsay Hubbard “had to pick[her]up off the goddamn bathroom floor” after the truth about Batula and Wilson’s relationship left her confused.
Miller, 30, said if Batula, 34, were truly her friend, she would have known that entering into a relationship with Wilson would be a “no big deal” for her.
She also claimed that the sports journalist, whom she dated in 2023, was only with him to “embarrass” and “be mean” to Batula.
In another emotional moment, Miller tearfully reflected on the “bittersweet” moment he shared with Batula in the season finale, saying it was painful to look back on it now.
“It was really emotional to see the scene where me and Amanda say goodbye to each other. I told her how much I love her, how special she is, how beautiful she is, how she looks, she deserves the best. It annoyed me a little bit. It’s a little bittersweet.”
In part one of the long-awaited reunion, Miller revealed private messages with his former best friend, poking a hole in the chronology of Batula and Wilson’s relationship.
“An email from Ciara to Amanda on March 5th: ‘Okay, so just to be clear, since I don’t feel like you’re making it clear, have you and West ever been together, flirted, held hands under the table, had sex?'” Miller read.
Miller said Batula simply answered, “Right,” and the latter admitted on stage at the reunion, “And I said ‘Right.'” And I lied, 100 percent lied. ”
In another shocking moment, a former nurse claimed Batula was a perfect fit for Wilson, 31, because he was “not going to check anything on him.”
“She’s very quiet. She’s going to be the vulnerability he needs, and he can always be the star of the relationship,” Miller said. “So I actually think maybe it could work.”
Tensions escalated further during the second part of the reunion when the model brought up the topic of Wilson’s secret girlfriend, Maya Moreno. While Wilson was developing a romance with Batula, he was still dating her.
The intense interrogation caused Ms. Batula to leave the stage in tears, and her irate co-stars yelled for Ms. Wilson to go after her.
After weeks of speculation, Batula and Wilson confirmed their secret romance in a bombshell statement in March.
Remarkably, they kept their relationship a secret from the entire Summerhouse staff, including Cooke and Miller, who were most shocked by the news.
Viewers watched as Miller supported Batula when her marriage fell apart and rekindled a romantic relationship with Wilson during season 10. This pairing shocked the Bravo world.
Since the scandal, Miller has made it clear there is no chance of a reconciliation with Batula – he previously admitted Batula betrayed him more than Wilson.
Asked in a May interview with People magazine whether she and Batula were “dunzos,” Miller replied dryly: “Yeah, for sure. I couldn’t do this to my worst enemy.”
As for Batula and Wilson, they continue to flaunt their relationship despite the backlash.
