West Wilson wants to set the record straight on rumors that he and Amanda Batula were fleeing the country amid the Summer House season 10 reunion with their recent Italy trip.
“Did you see that everyone said that, because I went to a wedding in Italy with Amanda, everyone’s like, ‘They’re fleeing the country,’” West, 31, joked during the Friday, June 5, episode of his “Show Me Something” podcast.
The Bravo star did clarify that people “obviously” said that before they knew he and Amanda were traveling for a wedding.
“Whoever took the picture of us in the customs line at the Rome airport, I know exactly what you look like. Blonde woman,” West continued. “It’s, like, us standing with backpacks. It’s so stupid.”
He added, “My cousin got married, so I went.”
Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi shared the photo of West and Amanda at the airport on May 26 along with a second message claiming that the couple were spotted at a restaurant in Rome.
West continued to address rumors about the trip on Friday after eagle-eyed fans appeared to clock that Amanda had taken out her credit card and paid for one of their meals in Italy.
“That’s f***ing crazy, they watched her use her credit card?” West said. “I handled the flights and the hotels, motherf***ers. How’s that sound?”
He added, “I grew up in a house where my family split the f***ing bills.”
West and Amanda’s Italy trip came as the Summer House season 10 reunion began airing on May 26. The pair found themselves in the hot seat for most of the reunion after details about their relationship were revealed.
West and Amanda released a joint statement on March 31 confirming that they are dating. Amanda was previously married to fellow Summer House costar Kyle Cooke, while West dated her best friend Ciara Miller in 2023.
While they’re officially back in America, photos and videos from West and Amanda’s recent trip abroad have continued to go viral.
DeuxMoi posted another photo on Friday which showed West and Amanda dining in Sicily, Italy. One image showed Amanda seemingly spitting into West’s open mouth. He backed away shortly after.
Fans have had a lot of thoughts about West and Amanda’s romance, but actor Jerry O’Connell — a huge Bravo fan — shared a different take last month.
“I am about to get eviscerated,” he wrote in the comments section of the airport photo. “What if these kids make it? Also, kinda want to go to a watch party in LA, for reunion. Anyone have info? I will also go to someone’s house/apt and bring White Claws.”
