As the dust begins to settle on the Summer House Amanda-West-Ciara scandal, Bravoland has been posting through it. The Summer House stars were the first to weigh in, though they’re not the only Bravolebs to have an opinion.
Before Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed their “connection” in a joint Instagram statement on Tuesday, some of their co-stars had begun adding fuel to the rumors online. Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, and K.J. Dillard all posted reaction shots of themselves to their Instagram Stories without context, which were quickly interpreted by fans online as responses to the unfolding drama. After Batula and Wilson’s statement came out, several other members of the Summer House cast — including Levi Sebree, Jesse Solomon, Bailey Taylor, and Danielle Olivera — followed their lead and posted reaction shots of their own.

Paige DeSorbo, who only recently left the Summer House cast, was a little more creative. She left her comments under her best friend Hannah Berner’s ad for flushable wipes on Instagram. “Being shocked on the internet is the theme today,” DeSorbo wrote. She added, “I guess we know where Hannah stands.”
Other responses were less lighthearted. Southern Charm’s Venita Aspen called out Batula and Wilson for failing to apologize to Ciara Miller. Mia Calabrese merely uploaded a smoking-hot photo of Miller to confirm her support.

On Wednesday, Batula’s soon-to-be-ex-husband, Kyle Cooke, stopped to give an on-the-street TikTok interviewer his thoughts on the situation while walking his dog. “I’m actually really worried about Amanda,” he said. While not excusing anyone’s behavior, Cooke told the TikToker that he sees Batula getting cyberbullied, while it seems like Wilson is only gaining followers. “Before cyberbullying her and giving West a follow, maybe think twice,” he said.
Outside of the immediate Summer House family, the stars of other Bravo shows, such as Vanderpump Rules, have begun putting in their two cents. Katie Maloney posted to Threads, “Omg so this is what it’s like being on the other side of Scandoval!!!??? Whoa.” Scheana Shay joked that she has a fresh set of acrylics and is “ready to be put in play.” Lala Kent took to her Instagram Stories, writing, “We have a Scamanda. I repeat, we have a Scamanda. There is no place like Bravo.”
Then, The Valley star Zack Wickham said on a podcast that he was holding onto tea that he obtained via a “friend’s cousin” who met Jesse Solomon on vacation. “If what he told her is real, then brace yourselves, America,” he added ominously.
Even Andy Cohen weighed in, posting the Marlo Hampton “Today drained me” meme.

Cohen also brought up the controversy while hosting Watch What Happens Live the day the news erupted. Jon Hamm, who happened to be Cohen’s guest and had met Miller the day before, had just enough context to say confidently that he was “Team Ciara, for sure.” He continued to say that Wilson and Batula exhibited some “tricky manifestations of behavior” before musing, “I’m not so sure how you mentally do the flip-flops that are required to make that make sense in your head.”

And while Boston Rob Mariano isn’t technically a Bravolebrity, he did star with Miller on The Traitors, and he also posted that he is “Team Ciara.”
