KJ Dillard said he has nothing to do with the leaked audio from the Summer House season 10 reunion taping.
“I wouldn’t risk losing my job by leaking audio of a deeply emotional reunion,” KJ, 28, wrote via Threads on Friday, April 24. “The leak wasn’t me.”
The entire cast of Summer House came together in New York City on Thursday, April 23, to rehash the drama that played out on season 10. It also was the first opportunity for several costars to confront West Wilson and Amanda Batula about their controversial romance.
Amanda, 34, shocked the cast — including her estranged husband Kyle Cooke and BFF Ciara Miller — in March when she confirmed a romance with Ciara’s ex West, 31.
A source previously told Us Weekly that the scandal has producers exploring new options and spinoff ideas after the scandal rocked the cast.
After the reunion finished wrapped, an audio leak surfaced online, which seemingly featured Kyle, Ciara and other cast members confronting the new couple about the timeline of their relationship.
“On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it,” host Andy Cohen wrote via Threads on Friday after a fan warned him to stay off social media. “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday, and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this. It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
The leak propelled Bravo to launch an investigation into how the audio surfaced.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a Bravo spokesperson told Us on Friday. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation, and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
KJ isn’t the only cast member to sound off on the audio clip. Levi Sebree shared a fan account that stated she wasn’t the leaker with a message that stated, “Put some respek on my name yall be real.”
In a series of Instagram Stories, Kyle, 43, also expressed his shock that someone could and would leak audio from such a “highly restricted” set.
“The conspiracy theories are kind of running wild. I’ve already been looped into one of them, so I feel compelled to give my two cents on this audio leak, which is super frustrating and annoying and Bravo takes it insanely seriously,” he said on Friday. “If you’re the one who leaked, you may want to take cover or seek counsel.”
Kyle believes it’s not a hair or makeup person and claimed there wasn’t a phone on set.
“This is someone clearly acting on their own,” he speculated. “I don’t think this is something we’re going to make sense of anytime soon.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream past episodes anytime on Peacock.
