Bravo has carried out an investigation after audio was leaked from the upcoming Summer House reunion.
The contentious reunion episode represents the first time stars Ciara Miller, Amanda Batula and West Wilson have publicly discussed their recent bombshell relationship news.
Miller, 30, dated Wilson, 31, in a 2023 relationship that played out on the hit Bravo show. Her close friend Batula, 34, announced her separation from her husband of four years — Summer House’s Kyle Cooke — in January. Their relationship has been a main storyline throughout the show’s 10 seasons.
Batula and Wilson recently revealed that they are now dating. Audio clips of their appearance on the reunion show with Miller were leaked online soon after filming, and fans speculated that a member of the cast may have been responsible.
Bravo investigated the situation, and said in a statement to Variety: “An investigation into the recent leak of the Summer House reunion audio has concluded that the audio was an unauthorized recording and distributed by an individual involved in the production of the reunion. As a result of the findings, appropriate action has been taken. There is no evidence that any member of the cast was involved in the recording of the audio.”
The statement continued: “We take these matters seriously and will continue to take appropriate measures to respond to the unauthorized distribution of our content. We are aware that there is additional improperly obtained audio circulating and we caution all parties and platforms to refrain from posting, sharing, or amplifying any unauthorized audio.”
A Bravo representative said that the person responsible for the leak has been fired.
Bravo announced the launch of its investigation on Friday, saying in a statement on X: “The ‘Summer House Reunion’ audio leak represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process. We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
At the end of March, Batula and Wilson said in a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts that while the romance is “still very new,” they wanted to “provide some clarity” on the situation.

“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they continued. “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.”
That impact clearly extended to Miller, who unfollowed both Batula and Wilson on Instagram immediately after their joint statement.
