Summer House star West Wilson was edited out of a brand campaign in partnership with the NCAA after going public with his relationship with Amanda Batula.
Last week, Amanda and West confirmed rumors about their romantic involvement. Fans are now slamming them on social media, accusing them of disregarding and betraying his ex, Ciara Miller, who was Amanda’s close friend. To make matters worse, Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, recently shared that he and West were much closer than fans believed.
According to fan account @the.christina_chronicles on TikTok, West was just edited out of a brand campaign for Marriott Bonvoy in partnership with the NCAA.
Per the account, Marriott Bonvoy (who apparently presents West’s podcast) initially posted a video with West, and then fans began posting negative comments.

Christina said the brand removed the video, edited West out, and reposted it with only his podcast co-host, Sophie Cunningham. Per the account, Amanda was also removed from her own brand campaign with Edie Parker.
On March 31, the Summer House co-stars confirmed their romance in a joint Instagram statement.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposefully hide anything,” said the couple. “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 added. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
According to the couple, they kept it quiet as they wished 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,” the stars went on. “We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
New episodes of Summer House air Tuesday nights at 8/7c on Bravo.
