Kyle Cooke compares West and Amanda to siblings

What Kyle Cooke said about West Wilson and Amanda Batula

Kyle Cooke, a cast member on Summer House, weighed in on the fallout from the show’s reunion drama involving West Wilson and Amanda Batula.

In an interview with People, Cooke said he couldn’t understand the behavior because he previously viewed West as “a really good friend.” He then used an especially blunt analogy to describe what he believed the situation looked like from the outside—saying it was “like he’s banging his sister.”

Why it matters

Cooke’s comments add emotional emphasis to a storyline that has already been driving headlines: the perception that West and Amanda’s relationship dynamics crossed boundaries in a way that felt personally violating to other cast members. His framing also underscores how the reunion’s conflict wasn’t just about romance in general, but about trust between people who were thought to be close.

The Summer House reunion has become a flashpoint because multiple cast members have publicly debated what counts as betrayal, what counts as truth, and how much responsibility each person should take. Cooke’s remarks contribute to the public narrative by making his stance unmistakably moral and relational—he’s arguing that whatever happened wasn’t just “messy reality TV,” but a breach of closeness.

What’s next

Cooke’s quote does not introduce new legal or courtroom facts; it focuses on interpersonal reactions. The broader public attention is likely to continue as Summer House bonus content and follow-up discussions keep the West/Amanda storyline in circulation.
