Ciara Miller had a feeling that something was going down between Amanda Batula and West Wilson, according to her costar Mia Calabrese.
“Ciara had — her intuition was telling her something and I refused to believe it,” Mia said during her Tuesday, April 14, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “Then, certain things started to click.”
Mia admitted to thinking it was “impossible” that anything romantic was going down between Amanda and West, because she believed they would “never do that.”
Rumors swirled earlier this year that Amanda and West’s relationship had evolved from friendship to something more. The duo confirmed their romantic relationship in a March 31 Instagram statement.
While Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, has spoken out at length about the entire situation, Ciara — who dated West in 2023 and was best friends with Amanda — has largely stayed quiet.
“Ciara is how anyone would be if their best friend started dating their ex,” Mia also said during her Tuesday WWHL appearance. “But, I will say, Ciara is one of my best friends — she’s like a sister to me — she will always thrive and I will always be there to support her.”
The Summer House newbie continued, “She’s going to be amazing.”
Mia told host Andy Cohen that she knew Ciara for “years” before they were on reality TV together.
“She’s like a sister to me,” Mia added. “I adore her.”

Amid the relationship fallout, Amanda has returned to social media, asking fans for “normalcy” in an apologetic statement on Friday, April 10. Mia reacted to Amanda’s social media message on Tuesday.
“I thought it was interesting that her normalcy was just going out and hitting the bars with West,” Mia said, referring to viral photos of Amanda and West out and about in New York City.
Mia went on to say that she’s placed more blame on Amanda for the entire situation.
“She’s a woman. I think men, you know, eh. They don’t always think straight,” she said. “Women it’s like, come on, you know better.”
Mia said that both West and Amanda have reached out to her — but she hasn’t responded to either.
“Don’t really know how to respond yet,” she added, noting that West’s message included an apology for “lying to me.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
