Lindsay Hubbard is reacting after news broke that West Wilson is reportedly not returning to Summer House, and not everyone loved her response.
According to TMZ, West was not picked up for the upcoming season of the Bravo series and will not return when cameras begin rolling over the July 4 weekend. Sources connected to the show told the outlet that while West is not expected to be part of the next season, the door is not completely closed and there is still a possibility he could appear in a cameo at some point.
The news comes after a very messy season for West, whose romance with Amanda Batula became one of the biggest storylines of Summer House Season 10.
West and Amanda confirmed their relationship in March after weeks of rumors. The romance shocked the cast because Amanda had recently separated from Kyle Cooke, and West previously dated Ciara Miller, Amanda’s former close friend.
The fallout took over the reunion, with Ciara accusing Amanda and West of betraying her and Kyle having to process his estranged wife moving on with someone in their own friend group.
After the report about West not returning surfaced, Lindsay took to Threads with a shady reaction.
“Just woke up from a nap, what did I miss? 👀😂” Lindsay wrote.
The post quickly got attention from Summer House viewers, especially because Lindsay has been publicly calling West out in recent weeks. She previously slammed him for allegedly trying to get fans not to watch the show, accused him of using her daughter as “click bate” and claimed he “manipulated” Amanda into their romance.
However, some fans pushed back on Lindsay’s latest reaction and called out what they feel is a bigger issue with how the cast has framed the Amanda and West situation.
One viewer responded, “You missed the glaring point that Black women have been making this entire time; Amanda is NOT a victim. Amanda uses her meak white woman card & it’s exhausting to watch you and other cast members use words like manipulation (in regards to West) as if she didn’t know the repercussions of her actions.”
Another fan agreed, writing, “We’re all upset that you, Kyle and Bravo seem to want us to believe West is the bad guy. She’s NOT a victim and I wish y’all would stop acting like she is.”
The criticism comes after Lindsay previously used the word “manipulated” when discussing West and Amanda’s romance. When fans questioned that wording, Lindsay doubled down and explained why she believed West initiated the situation.
“I’m on an airplane atm otherwise I would post a video.. but I say West “manipulated” Amanda because HE is the one who initiated this fuckery. HE is the one who said “hey uhhh is it me or like do we like each other?” Or whatever tf his hot dog smelling ass said. Yes, Amanda is a grown ass woman and makes her own big girl decisions. And yes, she needs to deal with those big girl consequences. You will see that convo btwn me and her in tomorrow’s Aftermath episode”
That explanation did not sit well with everyone, especially viewers who believe Amanda should be held equally accountable for getting involved with West after years of friendship with Ciara.
Ciara has also been vocal about how deeply Amanda’s actions hurt her. In a recent Harper’s Bazaar interview, Ciara said Amanda was “always the damsel in distress” and “always the victim,” adding that their friendship lacked reciprocity.
“Everyone’s always there for [Amanda]. She never has to be there for anyone. She is always the damsel in distress, always the victim,” Ciara said.
Ciara also said, “I was always a friend to her, and she was never a friend to me.”
That is why some fans are frustrated with the way the conversation has shifted toward West being the main problem, while Amanda is seemingly being framed by some cast members as someone who was led into the situation.
As of now, West has not publicly addressed the report that he will not be returning to Summer House.
Andy Cohen is clearing up why some major Summer House topics did not make the final reunion edit.
While fans watched three episodes of the Season 10 reunion, there were still several conversations that apparently hit the cutting-room floor, including mentions of former cast member Paige DeSorbo and the alleged video involving Amanda Batula and West Wilson.
During an episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, a caller asked Andy whether Paige was brought up during the reunion.
“Did you ask anything about Paige specifically?” the caller asked.
Andy replied, “Yeah, we talked about Paige a bunch.”
That reveal is interesting because Paige was not prominently featured in the reunion episodes that aired, despite her deep ties to the current cast. Paige announced her exit from Summer House in 2025, nearly one year before Amanda and West confirmed their romance.
Before leaving the show, Paige, Amanda and Ciara Miller were one of the show’s closest friendship trios. That made Amanda and West’s relationship even messier for fans, especially since West previously dated Ciara and Amanda was one of Ciara’s closest friends.
Amanda announced her separation from Kyle Cooke in January after four years of marriage. Just two months later, she and West released a joint statement confirming that their friendship had evolved into something romantic.
Another topic that did not air in the final reunion episodes was the alleged video of Amanda and West, which made headlines before they publicly clarified their relationship status. The clip allegedly played a role in Amanda and West deciding to release their March statement.
Andy said that was also discussed during the reunion.
“It was brought up several times,” Andy said. “We had two supersized episodes and one normal episode, and still — we shot from about 10:30 in the morning until nine at night. So this stuff was all brought up.”
Andy admitted he was surprised the third reunion episode was not also supersized.
“I was surprised part three wasn’t supersized. If I had been producing it, I would’ve added [it] supersized,” he continued. “You’re bringing up stuff that is interesting and that I would’ve wanted to hear about too. Yes, we talked about it.”
The admission will likely frustrate some fans, especially because viewers have been invested in the full timeline of Amanda and West’s relationship. Throughout the reunion, Amanda and West were grilled over when things turned romantic, how much they hid from the group and why Ciara and Kyle were left feeling blindsided.
Ciara made it clear she felt betrayed by both her ex and her former best friend, while Kyle had to process his estranged wife moving on with someone inside their friend group.
Paige’s name being discussed off camera is also notable because fans have wondered what she knew, how she felt about the fallout and where she stands with Amanda and Ciara now.
Rulla Nehme Pontarelli is standing by her husband, Brian Pontarelli, despite a season filled with shocking allegations, emotional revelations and one explosive finale twist.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island star has spent much of Season 1 dealing with rumors about Brian’s alleged affair. The drama intensified throughout the season as cast members questioned whether Brian’s relationship with his alleged mistress was truly over, and it reached another level during the finale when viewers learned Brian had been arrested for allegedly placing an electronic tracking device on Rulla’s vehicle.
Despite all of that, Rulla says she and Brian are still together today.
During The Real Housewives of Rhode Island After Show, which was filmed in February 2026, Rulla gave an update on where their marriage stands now and insisted that things have actually improved between them.
“It’s almost like we rekindled what we always had, but obviously now, I’m very, you know, cautious, day by day,” Rulla said. “I’ve been taking things step by step, like with a different perspective. And I see Brian now, and he treats me like he always did before, but even 10 times better.”
Rulla and Brian share two children, son Luca, 8, and daughter Laila, 5. According to Rulla, Brian has been making an effort not only with her, but also with their family.
She said Brian has been putting “all his effort” into her and their children. She also shared that he has been “repenting his sins” in church and going to therapy.
Pontarelli even revealed that she and Brian are now “sleeping in the same bed.”
Her decision to stay has been heavily discussed by viewers, especially after the season showed her processing affair allegations in real time. At one point, the RHORI women discussed an alleged video involving Brian and his alleged mistress, though Rulla remained skeptical about what the footage proved.
“The reason why I, like, made certain decisions to kind of continue on is just because of who I am and what I consider to be important. That is all, you know, in the past. Major, major series of mistakes, but it’s definitely water well under the bridge, dead and buried, where it should be.”
She reiterated that she has “chosen to work on things with Brian” because she knows “all the aspects of our love and marriage that viewers don’t get to see.”
On today’s episode of Roxanne and Shantel, we’re recapping the season finale of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. We talk about the ladies coming together, the makeups between Liz and Jo-Ellen, and where Ruella and Brian stand following the domestic violence charge. We also get into how the season wrapped, the resolution among the group, and our thoughts on the finale.
Lindsay Hubbard is not holding back when it comes to West Wilson.
The Summer House star took to Threads on Monday, June 15, where she slammed West for comments he made on his podcast, accused him of repeatedly trying to hurt the show, and claimed he “manipulated” Amanda Batula into their controversial romance.
Lindsay’s latest posts came after West made headlines for saying on his Show Me Something podcast that he hoped the New York Knicks would lose Game 5 so that Game 6 would air at the same time as the Summer House Season 10 bonus episode. West said he was hoping the basketball game would distract viewers from the episode, which comes after weeks of backlash over his romance with Amanda.
Lindsay clearly did not appreciate the comments.
“Good morning! ☀️ Hope everyone slept well last night. I know I did,” Lindsay wrote via Threads. “Woke up with some more thoughts if anyone cares: 1) Maybe West Wilson should go on his podcast and publicly apologize to me for using my daughter as click bate, and a decoy, to distract from his secret relationship with Amanda [Batula], instead of talking s*** about the show he was so fortunate for me to put him on.”
Lindsay continued, accusing West of trying to damage her career and the show more than once.
“2) West has tried to threaten my career / show now 3 times and it’s quite frankly, disgusting. No other word to describe it,” she wrote.
In the comments, Lindsay gave more detail about what she meant. She claimed the first instance happened after she welcomed her daughter, Gemma, with now-ex Turner Kufe in December 2024.
“He went on a podcast after I had Gemma and told everyone there’s ‘no way’ I could come back to [Summer House],” Lindsay wrote. “We should have known then, he’s not smart, but here we are.”
Lindsay then accused West of threatening the future of the friend group and the show through his relationship with Amanda.
“Then, with his diabolical decision making skills to manipulate Amanda into dating him and threaten the status of our friend group and future of the show. And now, trying to get people not to watch Tuesday’s episode (that he participated in btw). So that’s the kind of dude he is… in case anyone still had questions.”
After some fans questioned Lindsay’s use of the word “manipulated,” she doubled down and explained exactly why she used it.
“I’m on an airplane atm otherwise I would post a video.. but I say West “manipulated” Amanda because HE is the one who initiated this fuckery. HE is the one who said “hey uhhh is it me or like do we like each other?” Or whatever tf his hot dog smelling ass said. Yes, Amanda is a grown ass woman and makes her own big girl decisions. And yes, she needs to deal with those big girl consequences. You will see that convo btwn me and her in tomorrow’s Aftermath episode”
Lindsay does accuse of West still messing around despite being with Amanda.
West has been in the hot seat all season after confirming his romance with Amanda in March. The relationship shocked the Summer House cast because Amanda had recently separated from Kyle Cooke, while West previously dated Ciara Miller, Amanda’s former close friend.
The fallout became one of the biggest storylines of the Season 10 reunion, with Ciara accusing Amanda and West of betraying her and Kyle having to process his estranged wife moving on with someone in their friend group.
During the reunion, West explained how his relationship with Amanda shifted from friendship to something more, saying he looked at Amanda one night and asked whether he was crazy or if something was happening between them.
That appears to be the moment Lindsay is referring to when she says West “initiated this fuckery.”
Ahead of the bonus episode, West expressed frustration on his podcast over the fact that the Summer House drama would continue airing for another week.
“This could be the best f***ing thing ever,” West said during the Friday, June 12 episode of Show Me Something.
He explained that he thought the reunion drama was finally ending before Bravo announced a bonus episode.
“I thought [by] Tuesday … I thought I was going to get to catch my breath and we were all moving on, and they were like, ‘Bonus episode next week.’ I was like, If the Spurs win Saturday and they go back to Madison Square Garden and they play Game 6, it will be Tuesday night [at] the same time they air this f***ing, goddamn bonus episode,” West said.
He continued, “I will be the happiest person in the motherf***ing world.” He then said if this happens he would pop champagne to celebrate.
The Knicks ultimately defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5, meaning West did not get the scheduling conflict he was hoping for.
Lindsay first clapped back at West on Sunday, June 14, calling him out directly.
“West Wilson: you are trash. Trying to get people to not watch our show that I brought you on, you should move immediately,” Lindsay wrote.
She followed up with another post, adding, “Brother, you get paid for that episode. Just be thankful you still have a paycheck from our show.”
Dorit Kemsley is not closing the door on Kyle Richards.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is opening up about where things stand with Kyle after their friendship became one of the most talked about fallouts on the show. While Dorit and Kyle were once extremely close, their relationship has been strained for several seasons, with both women feeling hurt and misunderstood.
During a recent appearance on Kelly Ripa’s Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, Dorit made it clear that she would like to see the friendship move into a healthier place.
“I would love to see Kyle and I be able to get to a place that, you know, we really can put our differences aside or hash it out, whichever,” Dorit said.
Dorit and Kyle’s friendship has gone through major changes on RHOBH. The two were once part of the show’s closer inner circle, but as their personal lives became more complicated, so did their bond.
Kyle has been dealing with her own separation from Mauricio Umansky, while Dorit has been navigating her split from PK Kemsley, financial headlines, her memoir Unburdened and the emotional aftermath of her home invasion.
Their friendship issues came to a head as Dorit felt Kyle had pulled away, while Kyle seemed frustrated by Dorit’s expectations. What once looked like a solid friendship became one of the more fractured relationships on Beverly Hills.
Still, Kemsley says she originally thought she and Kyle were entering the season in a better place.
“I thought we were going into the season, really, I thought we were going in, in that place,” she said.
That comment gives more insight into Dorit’s frustration. From her perspective, she believed she and Kyle had a chance to move forward, only for old wounds, group conversations and unresolved feelings to surface once filming began.
For long-running Housewives friendships, that pattern is nothing new. A friendship can feel repaired off camera, but once the season starts, confessionals, cast trips and outside opinions can reopen everything.
Kemsley did not promise that she and Kyle will fully reconcile, but she made it clear that she believes repair is possible if both sides want it.
“I think that there’s, if both people want to, there’s always room for, you know, making up and making things better,” Dorit said.
Dorit’s comments come after she recently revealed that she and Erika Jayne have been texting again and that their friendship feels warm. However, she previously said she and Kyle had not yet spoken.
Kyle Cooke is clearing the air after fans started spiraling over photos of him laughing with estranged wife Amanda Batula.

The Summer House star took to Instagram Stories on Saturday, June 13, after photos surfaced of him and Amanda smiling, laughing and linking arms while leaving the In the City reunion taping earlier this week.
Naturally, the pictures had fans questioning what was really going on between the estranged couple, especially after months of drama surrounding their separation, Amanda’s romance with West Wilson and the emotional Summer House reunion.
Kyle decided to address the speculation directly.
“Alright, some of you have your tinfoil hats on, so I’m going to respond to the picture of me and Amanda laughing and smiling as we walk out from the In the City reunion,” Kyle said in a video shared via Instagram Stories. “It was a pretty chaotic, action-packed reunion for a season 1 show, and you guys have a lot to look forward to, not only in the season but the reunion.”
Kyle and Amanda were photographed on Thursday, June 11, as they exited the studio together. In the pictures, the pair appeared relaxed and friendly, which quickly got fans talking given everything that has played out between them recently.
Kyle explained that the reunion itself was intense and that both he and Amanda had been put on the spot.
“Amanda was in the hot seat, and she opened up a lot more than I would say she did in Summer House,” Kyle explained, referring to the three-part Summer House Season 10 reunion that finished airing Tuesday, June 9. “I was in the hot seat, a lot of people were in the hot seat and we all decided to go get a drink together. Like, group therapy after you, kind of, leave it all out there.”
According to Kyle, the viral laughing moment was not a sign of anything deeper. It was simply the two of them joking about how it would look if photographers caught them walking out together.
He continued, “Amanda and I were headed down the elevator, walking out the door and just kind of laughing, like, ‘Can you imagine if there’s a photographer that captures us walking out together?’ And then, boom, that’s exactly what happened. That causes us to laugh even harder, and yes, that’s all that there was to it, guys. That’s all there was to it, my God.”
The clarification comes after Kyle and Amanda announced their separation in January following four years of marriage. Just two months later, Amanda confirmed her romance with Summer House costar West Wilson, who previously dated her former close friend Ciara Miller.
That situation became one of the biggest Bravo scandals of the season. Amanda and West were grilled throughout the Summer House reunion about their relationship timeline, while Ciara made it clear she felt betrayed by both her ex and her former best friend.
Kyle also had to process Amanda moving on with someone from their own friend group. He has been open about how painful the situation has been, especially as he learned more about Amanda and West’s connection.
Still, Kyle’s latest comments suggest that despite the messy split and complicated emotions, he and Amanda are able to have light moments together.
Crystal Kung Minkoff is not shutting the door on a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills return.
The former RHOBH star is addressing the recent buzz that she could be open to coming back to the franchise two years after exiting the show. While Crystal says the conversation was not meant to become a huge deal, she admits she is in a very different place now than she was when she first left.
While attending the 33rd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala on June 5, Crystal spoke exclusively with E! News about why she recently said she would be open to a conversation about returning to Beverly Hills.
“I think I just needed some time and Cynthia Bailey is my co-host of Humble Brag and so she saw rumors out there and she had to ask me so it became sort of a thing,” Crystal said. “And it’s always one of those topics where Housewives in the past are asked these questions.”
Crystal previously addressed the rumors on her Humble Brag podcast with Cynthia Bailey after fans began speculating that she could be brought back for RHOBH Season 16.
At the time, Crystal made it clear that she is finally open to the idea again, though she admitted the friend role sounds especially appealing.
“Would I go back? I always dream about the friend role now,” she added. “Like, you’ve made that the ideal role. But it just depends on the cast. But yeah, I think I’d be ready. I think I’m finally ready.”
Now, Crystal is explaining that her mindset has shifted after having time away from the show.
“And for me it took a couple years to even think about doing it again but now I feel myself this year thinking, ‘Oh, what would I have done?’” she added. “I didn’t think about that in the year past. So, I think it was just that. It wasn’t a big deal but it kind of became a thing.”
Crystal joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Season 11 and remained on the show through Season 13. In 2024, she confirmed she would not be returning for Season 14. At the time, her exit surprised fans, especially because Crystal had finally started to open up more during her final season.
Since leaving the show, Crystal has stayed connected to Bravo through her podcast with Cynthia and her appearance on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
She also said her podcast has helped her feel more comfortable being herself, which is one of the reasons she would consider stepping back into the Housewives world.
“I just love Bravo and I love the whole experience,” Crystal explained, “and I just feel through Humble Brag I’m comfortable being myself so that’s all.”
Until then, Crystal is enjoying RHOBH from the other side, as a viewer.
“So, I used to watch Housewives, a few different franchises, and then I just stopped watching it completely when I was on the show because I just knew all the wizards,” she continued. “And now I get to enjoy the show sort of knowing a little more BTS.”
