But while Summer House Season 10 saw breakups, hookups, and fights at the house, its biggest story came from the aftermath of Amanda Batula's involvement with West Wilson. Fans were further outraged that West Wilson was not only another cast member but the man who Ciara Miller had ended her engagement to and whom Amanda assured her friend was nothing.
Through the episodes airing and into the reunion, viewers got to witness friendships being destroyed, questions being raised about the timeline, and the evidence being shown. It left Ciara feeling betrayed by someone whom she considers a close friend, and Amanda trying to defend a relationship that many other cast members felt was crossing boundaries.
So who are you with in this situation? Are you Team Ciara or Team Amanda?

Team CiaraThere is a good reason why Ciara Miller feels that she has been betrayed. Amanda Batula was not just any castmate for Ciara; she was one of her best friends. Ciara often wondered if something was going on between Amanda and West Wilson, but both Amanda and West constantly assured her that nothing happened between them. At the reunion, Ciara felt that she had been lied to and kept in the dark regarding their relationship. From texts exchanged and timelines, it seems like Ciara believed the affair happened much earlier than what Amanda and West said.
To many viewers, it was the matter of Ciara's anger being directed at West and the fact that Ciara had been betrayed. On multiple occasions, Ciara expressed her disappointment in Amanda because she expected better treatment from her friend than from her ex-boyfriend. In fact, before the reunion episode aired, it became clear that Ciara would no longer consider Amanda her friend.
To Ciara's supporters, it all comes down to having some boundaries in friendships. It doesn't sit well with many people that Amanda went into a romantic relationship with a guy that had known her very close friend for years without telling her about it.

Team AmandaHowever, according to Amanda Batula's supporters, the truth surrounding her involvement with West is much more complex than it appears to be from the outside. Both Amanda and West started seeing each other after they became two adults experiencing some crucial moments in their life paths. At that point, Amanda had already split from her boyfriend, Kyle Cooke, and the couple's break-up took place much earlier than it is believed by Amanda's many detractors.
During the show's reunion, Amanda Batula admitted her mistakes in managing the whole affair. However, she stood her ground, saying that she had no reason not to get together with a man whom she had grown to care for despite all the fuss created around that. As it can be seen from Team Amanda's comments, Amanda Batula made a mistake but should not be accused of making one simply because she didn't avoid an old flame of someone she knew well.
Thus, according to supporters of Amanda Batula, what happened during those Summer House episodes doesn't deserve such an outrage.
