Summer House’s Ciara Miller seemingly threw some shade at ex-boyfriend West Wilson and her former BFF Amanda Batula in light of the pair’s confirmed romance.
While hosting red carpet interviews at the season 2 premiere of Your Friends & Neighbors in New York City on Monday, March 30, Ciara, 30, was asked by the Apple TV series’ star Jon Hamm, “How are you?”
Ciara, who shared a round-up of her cast interviews via Instagram the following day, responded, “I’m good,” before reassessing her mood and locking eyes with the camera. “Well, I’ve been better,” she added.
The reality TV star also captioned her post, “If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?”
Ciara Miller and West Wilson have different expectations of how their onscreen reunion will go on Summer House following their messy split. Bravo released a first look at season 9 on Wednesday, February 5, where Ciara, 29, and West, 28, were individually asked about where they stand since parting ways. “I would be shocked if […]
Ciara’s cryptic behavior came hours after a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the reality star is struggling to cope with West, 31, dating Amanda, 34. “Ciara is heartbroken by this,” the insider told Us on Tuesday, March 31. “She and Amanda were very close, and she feels more betrayed than ever by both of them.”

Hamm, 55, spoke about his red carpet chat with Ciara during a Tuesday night appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. He told Cohen, 57, that he had “no idea” about Amanda and West’s romance revelation one day prior, but now sits on one side of the drama.
“Team Ciara for sure,” Hamm said before commenting on the romance itself: “Tricky manifestations of behavior there. I’m not so sure how you mentally do the flip-flops that are required to make that make sense in your head. But having just met Ciara, I think she’s a great gal and she will certainly end up on her feet.”
In addition to Ciara’s Your Friends & Neighbors interview with Hamm, Ciara also told his costar Amanda Peet that she was “on Prozac.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, the medication is administered to regulate your mood and treat “depression” and “anxiety” among other things.
Another moment in Ciara’s post captured her telling the camera, “My God, everyone’s morally bankrupt.”

An insider told Us on Tuesday that Ciara and West had been “casually seeing each other and seeing if things would work out again recently” before news of his relationship with Amanda came to light. The pair dated in July 2023 while filming season 8 of Bravo’s Summer House but the romance fizzled by December that year.
Once Ciara learned of Amanda and West’s romance, she “cut off” communication with both of her costars.
“She’s furious at West but even more hurt by Amanda,” the source detailed. “‘Disappointed’ doesn’t even cover it. This is so much more to Ciara than just breaking girl code.”
West and Amanda’s relationship confirmation, which came after months of rumors following Amanda’s January split from husband Kyle Cooke, acknowledged that the couple hoped to put an end to online speculation. (Amanda and Kyle were married for four years before announcing their separation via a joint Instagram statement.)

“While this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” the pair’s Instagram statement read. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”
The statement continued, “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. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
