West Wilson, 31, said he and Amanda Batula, 34, are "doing our best" to keep their relationship normal, while calling public outings "scary" amid intense online scrutiny.
On his May 25 podcast, Wilson pushed back on viral claims that Batula wears his clothes and wigs, saying internet speculation escalated to AI-generated posts and false identifications.
He also denied a social media claim that he was plotting a Tom Sandoval "redemption arc," saying the supposed group-chat source was fabricated.
Wilson further rejected rumors that he hooked up with Jenn Fessler, a claim that spread after Ciara Miller posted it; Fessler had already called the allegation "categorically untrue and defamatory" on May 9.
The podcast comes about 2 months after Wilson and Batula confirmed they were more than friends, following Batula's split from Kyle Cooke and Miller's past relationship with Wilson in 2023.
