KJ Dillard is making it crystal clear that he is not here for West Wilson’s behavior.
KJ took aim at his former friend this week after spotting what he believed was flirty behavior between West and his girlfriend Dara Levitan during a scene from Summer House season 10. The moment quickly sent Bravo fans into a frenzy after KJ publicly called West out on social media.
The scene showed Dara rocking a bikini paired with a fur coat while hanging out in the snow when West chimed in with a compliment.
“I must say, hottest outfit this house has seen in a long time,” West told her.
Dara immediately shut it down by responding, “West, like, dap me the f*** up my man.”
KJ reacted to the clip online with angry emojis before taking things a step further in another post.
“My bros would never hit on my girl behind my back,” he wrote on Threads. “Bro code.”
If that wasn’t enough, KJ appeared to throw even more shade West’s way with another cryptic comment about “snakes in the snow.”
The tension between the former friends has reportedly been brewing for months after West confirmed his romance with fellow Summer House star Amanda Batula. Fans were stunned by the relationship reveal considering West previously had an on and off situation with Ciara Miller, who also happens to be one of Amanda’s closest friends.
After backlash erupted online, West and Amanda addressed the controversy in a joint statement shared on Instagram in April.
“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,” the couple wrote. “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we 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. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
KJ has made it pretty obvious that he is standing firmly on Team Ciara throughout all the drama. He also previously blasted West for failing to reach out to him personally before the relationship news became public.
“I’m checking my text messages, but I never received anything,” KJ claimed at the time. “The truth hurts, homie, tough love.”
Despite the fallout, it appears West attempted to make peace after filming the Summer House season 10 reunion. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, KJ revealed that West had sent him a lengthy apology text.
“West says, ‘I wanted to thank you for your articulation and kindness yesterday despite being hurt. I’ve been off social and I think I lost touch with how much hurt there was. I’m incredibly sorry,’” KJ read aloud. “‘Also sending you love in regards to your mental health. You shared a lot yesterday and I know it mightn’t carry much weight now but I’m always rooting for the best for you. I know it will take some time but whenever you feel like you’re ready, lunch or a phone call would mean a lot in the spirit of healing. No need to respond, take your time.’”
Now fans are left wondering whether this friendship can actually recover or if the Bravo bromance is officially done for good.
