- Insiders claim Ciara Miller will “try to find a way to move past” their relationship “if they are really in love.”
It may feel like it’s been a while since Summer House’s West Wilson and Amanda Batula shook the Bravosphere when they confirmed hookup rumors and admitted they’re exploring a romantic connection with each other. Believe it or not, it’s actually been a little less than a month, and of course, the internet is still incredibly invested in how Amanda’s best friend and West’s ex, Ciara Miller, feels about all this. Now, sources are revealing where she allegedly stands with them in the wake of all the drama.
According to one of Us Weekly’s sources, “Ciara has told friends that if they really are in love, she will accept it,” and she’ll “come back to the show and try to find a way to move past it”…but only if West and Amanda are truly endgame.
The insider adds that if that’s the case, Ciara is willing to take the high road because she “doesn’t want to get in the way of real love.”
On March 31, West and Amanda hopped on Instagram Stories to address ongoing speculation that they had been hooking up. At the time, the pair wrote, “We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposefully 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.”
They added, “What’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”
Amanda’s ex-husband, Kyle Cooke, also revealed where he stands with her and West, who he said sent him a “half-assed text message” dropping the news.
Kyle told street journalist Adam Glyn on April 1 that he was “obviously frustrated” and “disappointed,” but that in “hearing [Amanda] and hearing how unwell she is,” he’s asking fans to “let off the gas a little bit with the cyberbullying and the hate,” noting that he didn’t think the relationship would even last.
Ciara, apparently, doesn’t feel the same way. According to Us Weekly’s insider, she reportedly thinks that West and Amanda’s relationship has the potential to end in marriage…or, more accurately, she reportedly thinks West and Amanda “need to get married” to make their betrayal feel acceptable.
“At the same time, she feels they would need to get married because losing so much over a ‘situationship’ isn’t worth it for anyone,” the source explained. “If it’s just a fling, she isn’t going to forgive them and believes it will all be for nothing and not worth all the pain and emotions that everyone has gone through.”
They added, “Either way, Ciara will not be friends with Amanda or trust her again.”
