Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula may have just confirmed their relationship slightly over a month ago, but, according to a new report, West was seen out and about sans Amanda.
What’s more is he was allegedly getting friendly with other women.
According to TMZ, West was seen out in the Lower East Side of New York City at bar 82 Stanton, where they described him as being in “party mode.”
The outlet spoke to witnesses who said West was with his kickball teammates but spent the evening talking to “multiple women” and “making the rounds.”
One source specifically said West was “definitely flirting,” but no PDA was seen.

Insiders close to Amanda and West insisted they’re still together and that West was simply out celebrating a win for his team.
West and Amanda officially confirmed they were an item on March 31 when they released a joint statement on social media.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they said at the time. “It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything. Given the complicated 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.”
“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 that either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
The couple shared they remained quiet about the relationship as their “feelings evolved” since they wanted to “take time to understand exactly what [they] were feeling.”
“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,” they added. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
Recently, on his Show Me Something With Sophie and West podcast, West opened up about the issues he’s caused via his relationship with Amanda.
“These are my friends… and I’ve caused a lot of damage, which f*cking sucks,” he stated. “It’s gonna take time for sure.”
West explained that going through the reunion was “one step,” and he “got through it.”
“And, so, we’re on the other side of it,” he explained. “And reunions aren’t fun, but it’s like the darkest form of therapy. Like, you don’t normally get that much feedback on how your actions impact other people.”
As for how he can move forward in his personal life, West insisted he’s “not trying to be cliché,” but believes he can only “learn and try to be better” after going through this tumultuous situation.
“The only way you can make experiences like this worth it – as dark as it gets – is to be better from it later,” he elaborated. “Obviously, I have a lot to learn from and be better for, but it’s absolutely the only way you can make any of this — turn it positive.”
