Former “Summer House” star West Wilson said he knew that his time on the Bravo reality series was coming to an end long before the network confirmed his departure. In the season 10 bonus episode, titled “The Aftermath,” Wilson, 31, told his co-star, Kyle Cooke, that his performance during one critical moment was the nail in the coffin.

In the “Summer House” bonus episode, Wilson spoke with Cooke about his secretive romance with his estranged wife, Amanda Batula. At the beginning of the conversation, Wilson said that he wanted to meet with Cooke privately; however, the latter suggested they film the sit-down for the cameras since the audience was invested in their personal drama.

During the conversation, Wilson appeared to tell Cooke that he was done filming the Bravo reality show, saying, “This won’t make it, but, like, my time on camera is over.” Continuing, the Missouri native said his departure was due to the “bad job” he did during the season 10 reunion.

Why West Wilson Wanted To Speak With Cooke About His Romance With Batula Privately

Elsewhere in the conversation, Wilson told Cooke, who joined the “Summer House” cast in 2017, why he preferred to meet with him privately rather than on camera.

“In my experience, anything I’ve done following it, publicly, has landed poorly,” Wilson said, referring to the pushback he faced following the season 8 reunion, during which he confirmed he ended things with co-star Ciara Miller after introducing her to his family.

“And so, I didn’t want you to think I, like, waited ’til the reunion was over and then, like, gathered myself and then was like, ‘Oh, let’s film a scene together’ kind of thing. The processing and, like, slowing down and just sort of, like, soaking it all in didn’t really happen until the last two weeks,” he continued.

West Wilson Said He Was Disappointed In Himself For Fracturing Some Of His Friendships

Cooke asked Wilson whether his revelations had come to him “post reunion,” to which Wilson replied, yes.

“I mean, when this all happened, everything was just such a f–king disaster tornado, and there’s so many layers to this. But, like, the friendship part of this has been really hard to process. To watch it fully implode with other people who you care about, I care about, um, f–kin’ sucks. … It’s really f–king hard to know that something so special, like, I f–kin’ super fractured,” Wilson added.

Their conversation occurred months after Wilson confirmed he was dating Batula—Cooke’s estranged wife and Miller’s former best friend. The pair released a joint statement following weeks of speculation, saying their relationship had developed over the years.

Wilson Joined ‘Summer House’ In 2024

Wilson gained significant popularity after joining the cast of “Summer House” in 2024. During his debut season, the sports journalist shared that he was looking for a change after being laid off. He also discussed his love life, revealing that he was scared of commitment.

Over the years, Wilson’s star began to fade as the Bravoverse criticized him for appearing to live one way in front of the cameras and another when they went down. His co-stars also hinted at this being true during the season 10 reunion.

He was fired from the series days ago, according to The Blast, and it’s unclear if he’ll be featured on the program again.

Bravo Exec Speaks About Wilson’s ‘Frustrating’ Reunion Performance

A Bravo and “Summer House” executive discussed Wilson’s fall from grace, according to The Blast, and opened up about why his reunion performance was so bothersome.

“When you watch the reunion, as incredible as it is, and as great television as it is, you walk away feeling a little unsatisfied because of the way that West and Amanda handle themselves,” Noah Samton, the current SVP of production for Bravo and Peacock unscripted, said. “They didn’t explain themselves in a satisfying way. And then there was a whole separate conversation with Meija, who nobody knew anything about. To me, those were the three stories that needed to be fleshed out further.”

“I think we didn’t get that in the reunion, and that was very frustrating for us. So I feel very happy that we were able to make a lot of progress in that ‘Aftermath’ episode,” Samton added.
