West Wilson denied claims he sought to have fellow cast members removed from "Summer House"

A source told a U.S. weekly that podcaster West Wilson, who joined the Bravo reality series "Summer House" in season 8, allegedly urged producers to dismiss cast members Lindsay Hubbard, Kyle Cooke and Carl Radke. The source claimed Wilson argued that Hubbard, who recently gave birth, should not be filmed because the show focuses on single, summer-oriented participants, and that he suggested Cooke and Radke would look better with new friends. Wilson’s representative called the allegation “categorically false.”

According to the insider, Wilson’s relationship with cast member Amanda Batula, which began after Batula’s separation from Cooke, contributed to tension within the group. The source said Wilson’s departure was a mutual decision between the network and him, noting that his fit with the show had become unclear during the season-10 reunion. Wilson has since focused on his podcast and other business ventures.

Hubbard posted on Threads that she felt threatened by Wilson’s comments on his "Show Me Something" podcast, which suggested she would not return after having a baby. The network plans to air a bonus episode, "Summer House: The Aftermath," featuring a discussion among Wilson, Cooke, Batula, Hubbard and other cast members.

"West has tried to threaten my career / show now 3 times and it’s quite frankly, disgusting," Hubbard wrote on Threads.

The situation has reportedly created a rift in the friend group, with some cast members limiting contact with Batula. The future of Batula’s role on the series remains uncertain.
