Jesse Solomon is revealing Kyle Cooke‘s reaction to Amanda Batula and West Wilson‘s PDA-heavy outing at a recent Yankees game.
The Summer House star appeared on Tuesday night’s (April 21) episode of Watch What Happens Live, during which he opened up about Batula and Wilson’s shock romance. According to Solomon, he had his “suspicions” that something was going on between his co-stars, but it wasn’t until they released their joint statement earlier this month that he found out about it.
“They both denied it to my face multiple times,” Solomon said, revealing that his suspicions started in late February.
The complicated relationship dynamics within the Summer House cast is what truly made this news such a scandal. Wilson previously dated Batula’s best friend Ciara Miller, while Batula was recently separated from Cooke, a close friend of Wilson’s. The two were married for about four years (together for 10) when they announced their divorce earlier this year, mere months before “Scamanda” turned the Bravo universe on its side.
While Batula indirectly apologized for hurting Miller and Cooke in a recent Instagram Story, her desire to continue a relationship with Wilson appeared much stronger than her desire to make amends with her once-BFF. That same night she made the post, she was seen hanging out with Wilson at a New York City bar. The following week, the two were spotted kissing at a Yankees game, which, according to Solomon, upset Cooke.
“Kyle is good all things considered but he’s starting to get angry and upset, especially seeing them make out on the Yankees broadcast,” he said.
With the reunion coming up, Solomon said he advised his friend to “take accountability” and “apologize,” but feared he would enter the space with a “combative” attitude. Per Solomon, Wilson has been justifying his and Batula’s relationship by saying they were both single at the time things started. In the words of Andy Cohen,”This is going to be interesting.”
Watch What Happens Live airs Sunday through Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
