Amanda Batula appears to have reunited with West Wilson just hours after issuing a public apology for the romance drama.
In a photo shared by a fan account via social media on Friday, April 10, Amanda, 34, and West, 31, could be seen at the Blind Tiger Alehouse in New York City. According to the Instagram account, the photo was snapped at around 7p.m. EST. Celebrity gossip account Deux Moi also shared snaps of Amanda and West looking cozy via Instagram.
It is unclear at this stage whether Amanda and West were out and about by themselves or whether they had been joined by friends for the outing.
The sighting comes just hours after Amanda shared an apology via her Instagram Stories earlier on Friday.
“Hi guys, l’ll keep this short and sweet,” Amanda wrote. “I’ve obviously been MIA, but I wanted to come back on and say that I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I’ve reached out to individually.”
Amanda vowed to “try to start living life with some sense of normalcy,” a decision she said was “for the sake of my mental health.”
She added, “If you see me out or posting online, please know that this still weighs very heavily on me. I’m not ignoring what’s happened or what’s unfolded.”
The reality TV star said she planned to clear up any lingering questions at the upcoming Summer House reunion.
“I’ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there,” she concluded.
Amanda and West previously addressed the nature of their relationship via an Instagram statement made on March 31 after speculation mounted that the Summer House costars were hooking up amid her split from Kyle Cooke.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” read an Instagram statement on March 31. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
Amanda and West further explained how their relationship dynamic changed.
“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The pair faced backlash for their burgeoning relationship due to West previously dating Amanda’s best friend and Summer House costar, Ciara Miller, in 2023.
