Kyle Cooke Says Summer House Will Return for Season 11 After 10-Season Exit Scare

Q: West Wilson was fired for the 'Scamanda' affair, but will Amanda Batula face any consequences for her role in the scandal?

No official punishment for Amanda Batula has been announced, and unlike West Wilson, she has not been confirmed as fired from *Summer House*. What is clear is that Bravo is still finalizing Season 11 casting. Network executives have said reports about all cast changes were premature and that decisions would come later in June. Another Bravo executive has indicated the key issue is whether cast members can realistically live together, suggesting Amanda’s future depends less on a formal disciplinary move and more on whether the group dynamic is still workable after the “Scamanda” fallout. Batula is already facing substantial consequences outside any formal casting decision. She has been heavily criticized online, publicly apologized, and, according to Kyle Cooke, has been struggling emotionally amid cyberbullying. The scandal also dominated the reunion and the follow-up special, where she was pressed by castmates over loyalty, timing and remorse. One brand, Edie Parker, also reportedly pulled and reposted campaign content featuring her after backlash, showing some commercial fallout. So the current answer is that Amanda has faced reputational, personal and professional consequences, but there is no confirmed Bravo sanction comparable to West’s firing. Her status for Season 11 remains unresolved as of June 18, 2026.

Kyle Cooke edited his Instagram post to say Summer House is not canceled and he is not announcing an exit after fans read his Season 10 farewell as a goodbye.
The confusion came from Cooke calling the wrap "the end of an era" and saying it was a "heartbreaking" way to leave the house for good after 10 seasons.
Season 10 ended this week with an emotional finale, and some cast members are moving into spinoff In the City, reinforcing the sense that the show was changing.
Bravo's summer-filming cycle usually starts around July 4, with Season 11 expected to reflect cast upheaval after a scandal involving Amanda Batula and reported departing castmate Westling Wilson.
