Summary
Amanda’s denials about dating castmate West unraveled after friends tracking her phone saw she was at his apartment and then noticed she began switching off location sharing.
Ciara — Amanda’s close friend and West’s former on-and-off partner — used the shared location earlier this year when Amanda stopped responding, turning a private romance into reunion-show evidence.
The fallout lands amid wider relationship turmoil on Season 10: Amanda and Kyle announced their split in January after years of strain, while castmates had already suspected Amanda and West were together.
The opinion piece uses the Bravo drama to argue that routine location sharing — Amanda had shared with friends, management and her ex for 5 years — can become a form of personal surveillance.
