Bravo is launching an official investigation into an alleged audio leak from the Summer House season 10 reunion taping.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us Weekly on Friday, April 24. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
Alleged audio from the reunion popped up on social media hours after the Summer House cast gathered in New York City on Thursday, April 23, to break down the ongoing drama over Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s relationship.
The purported audio features Ciara Miller confronting Amanda, 34, over dating West, 31, after months of denials. (Ciara, 30, and Amanda were seated on opposite sides of reunion host Andy Cohen during the taping.)

Andy, 57, was understandably heated over the leak on Friday, especially after a fan warned him to stay off social media for the time being.
“On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it,” Andy wrote via Threads about the leak. “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this.”
The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host added, “It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
Andy previously previewed the taping after wrapping filming on Thursday, promising Summer House fans one of the most raw and emotional reunions in Bravo history.
“I am walking out of the Summer House reunion. … I’ve probably hosted, well, it’s over a 100 reunions, maybe 150, something like that,” he shared via his Instagram Story. “This was one of the most intense [reunions] we’ve ever shot. This was a lot. This was a lot. It was very intense, you guys.”
The reunion host confirmed that “every question was asked” about the timeline of West and Amanda’s budding romance.
Amanda and West stunned the Bravoverse on March 31 by revealing they are dating. (Amanda and her estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, announced their separation in January. West, meanwhile, dated Ciara in 2023.)
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” West and Amanda wrote in a joint statement. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
They went on, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they concluded. “We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
Amanda and West largely disappeared from social media in the wake of the controversy, though they were spotted kissing at a New York Yankees game on April 17.

Earlier this week, West insisted on his “Show Me Something” podcast that there was “no overlap” with the end of Kyle, 43, and Amanda’s marriage.
“I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now but that is one thing that for sure did not happen,” he said on Monday, April 20. “Everyone was single.”
Ciara, for her part, opened up to Glamour on April 17 about how she was navigating the scandal.
“It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors,” Ciara admitted. “To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
