Ciara Miller is finally addressing her Summer House co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson‘s relationship.
After weeks of rumors and speculation, Amanda, 34, and West, 31, finally came clean about their relationship last month.
The relationship revelation came as a huge shock for fans, and cast members, as West previously had a fling with Ciara, 30, who has been a close friend of Amanda‘s for years.
In a new interview with Glamour published on Friday (April 17), Ciara broke her silence on their relationship.

She went on to allude to having intuition about Amanda and West‘s relationship, saying, “Just know when something’s weird in your gut, there’s a reason. What’s done in the dark always comes to light. And sometimes you really don’t even have to do anything except sit back and let the universe handle it all.”
Ciara said that she waited to publicly address her co-stars’ relationship because she wanted her comments to hold weight.
“I want to do it in my way, in a way that feels more intentional than just a podcast or a comment under a picture,” she explained.
She also revealed that she had “less than 24 hours” notice about Amanda and West’s statement before they posted it.
“I read it with the rest of the world,” she said. “There’s something about the lack of being able to say each other’s names in the statement that I found very telling, but I don’t know.”
When asked about her most recent conversation with Amanda, Ciara said “minimal” words were exchanged.
“That’s something I will talk about at the reunion,” she added, noting that “everyday changes” her feelings on the drama.
“It’s like a weird flow of what you thought the past couple of years of your life looked like, and what you thought relationships were versus what they actually are. It’s tricky,” she said, teasing the upcoming reunion, which will be full of “mental warfare.”
“Filming a reality TV show and then sitting at a reunion eight months later is not normal,” Ciara explained. “It’s not real life; it’s having to remember everything you said or give a reason for why you said everything you said. I’m a bit nervous.”
When asked about the betrayal, Ciara said she’s way more hurt by Amanda than West.
“At the end of the day, a guy’s a guy,” she explained. “Whether or not West and I are working on a relationship, you just can’t put anything past a man. But I just never would think that it would come from someone like Amanda, who has been what has felt like in my circle and in my corner for so long. I think that’s the craziest part.”
If you didn’t see, Amanda recently returned to Instagram to issue an apology to everyone she’s “disappointed and hurt.”
