Bravo has concluded its investigation after audio from the Summer House season 10 reunion was leaked online.
“An investigation into the recent leak of the Summer House reunion audio has concluded that the audio was an unauthorized recording and distributed by an individual involved in the production of the reunion,” a Sunday, April 26, statement shared with Us Weekly reads. “As a result of the findings, appropriate action has been taken.”
The Summer House filmed its season 10 reunion on Thursday, April 23, shortly before a clip of Ciara Miller confronting costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson from the tell-all surfaced online. Bravo immediately opened an investigation into the matter to determine the source of the leak.
“There is no evidence that any member of the cast was involved in the recording of the audio,” the statement continues. “We take these matters seriously and will continue to take appropriate measures to respond to the unauthorized distribution of our content.”
The note adds, “We are aware that there is additional improperly obtained audio circulating and we caution all parties and platforms to refrain from posting, sharing or amplifying any unauthorized audio.”
Amid Bravo’s investigation, several cast members denied any involvement regarding the leaked audio.
“I wouldn’t risk losing my job by leaking audio of a deeply emotional reunion,” KJ Dillard wrote via Threads on Friday, April 24. “The leak wasn’t me.”
Kyle Cooke also addressed the incident, denying that he had any knowledge of the recording.
“Bravo takes it insanely seriously. They’re doing a full-blown cyber investigation,” Kyle, 43, said in a social media video. “If you’re the one that leaked, you might wanna seek cover or counsel.”
According to Kyle, it was unlikely that any of the cast members had their phones present during production.
“If you have a phone on set, it’s stuck behind a pillow or couch cushion, so the cameras can’t see it. I don’t really see why anyone would gain [from] having leaked this,” he said. “That goes for producers, crew [and] Bravo. This is someone clearly acting on their own. It doesn’t even look like that got paid because the audio clip is everywhere.”
The reunion is set to address the love triangle between Ciara, 30, Amanda, 34, and West, 31. Ciara and West casually dated in 2023, briefly hooking up again at the start of the year. By March, West confirmed that he started seeing Ciara’s BFF Amanda amid her separation from Kyle.
“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 either of us expected,” West and Amanda wrote in a joint statement last month. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Ciara, meanwhile, told Glamour in an early April profile that she was blindsided by the news.
“I read [their statement] with the rest of the world. There’s something about the lack of being able to say each other’s names in the statement that I found very telling, but I don’t know,” Ciara told the outlet. “It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors. To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindf***.”
