Kyle Cooke thinks it would be a “heinous act” if ex Amanda Batula and West Wilson were secretly dating during Season 10 of Summer House.
In an exclusive interview with Page Six on Thursday at Nine West’s “Love Letter to 90s New York: Revisited” event, Cook addressed rumors that the couple had an affair while still married to Batula.
The Loverboy founder explained that when he posted in the thread after Tuesday’s episode where Batula and Wilson were openly flirting, he didn’t mean to “perpetuate the theory” that their romance has been going on since last summer.
“It would be crazy for them to be so flippant when something is going on,” Cook said.
The 43-year-old DJ told Batula, 34, that she wanted him to reveal the timeline of her and Wilson’s relationship at the reunion.
“I hope Amanda makes it clear at the reunion that this is not the case,” he said. “I hope I’m correct that this is a recent reunion.”
Cook also said his “jaw dropped open” after watching the episode. After the event, he was seen flirting with “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Meghan King Edmonds, 41.
Tuesday’s “Summer House,” filmed months before Cook and Batula split in January after four years of marriage, included a shocking scene in which Batula tells Wilson, 31, to check out her butt.
Mr Batula also accused the sports journalist of having an affair with another woman in front of his close friend Ciara Miller, who was dating Mr Wilson in 2023.
After the episode aired, Cook posted in a thread saying he was shocked by Batula’s actions.
“Last night’s episode? Oh my god 🤯,” he wrote.
Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship on March 31st in a joint statement on Instagram.
The two explained that it was a “relationship born out of many years of genuine friendship” and that they took some time to go public with their relationship because they “wanted to approach this relationship carefully.”
Up until that point, the two had kept their relationship a secret from the rest of their “Summer House” castmates, including Cooke and Miller, 30.
Cook defended Batula, telling angry Bravo fans to stop cyberbullying her, saying she was “not feeling well” amid the controversy.
“Amanda knows what she did was wrong and she’s coming to terms with it,” she told street journalist Adam Glynn on April 1.
Meanwhile, Miller called Batula and Wilson’s romance “mindfulness” in an interview with Glamor magazine on Friday.
The model explained that she felt more betrayed by Batula than Wilson because Batula had “been in my circle for so long and been in my corner.”
Mr Miller also noted that he had supported Mr Batula during his marital problems with Mr Cook.
“I’ve tried to be there for you in so many ways, helping you and helping you realize your worth within yourself,” Miller said.
“And to be ignored in such a disrespectful way…I’m speechless sometimes,” she added.
