Summer House’s Lindsay Hubbard is shutting down claims that West Wilson reached out after he confirmed his relationship with Amanda Batula, posting "I am very triggered by liars at the moment" as she clapped back at a Deuxmoi tip.

Quick reality check from the Hamptons-adjacent chaos: Lindsay Hubbard hopped on Instagram to swat down a bundle of rumors about West Wilson, Amanda Batula, and the upcoming Summer House reunion. Yes, that Zero Bond sighting everyone clocked. No, not the narrative people were spinning about it.

What set this off

Over the weekend, a Deuxmoi post claimed Lindsay was at Zero Bond in NYC with her daughter after an Uber Eats commercial shoot with Carl Radke, said she was ready for the reunion and "coming in HOT," and stirred up chatter about West reaching out amid his new thing with Amanda.

"I am very triggered by liars at the moment."

Lindsay's version of events

On Monday, April 6, Lindsay, 39, laid it out on Instagram. She confirmed she was at Zero Bond with her daughter, Gemma, whom she shares with her ex Turner Kufe. It was Easter, she was there with her best friend, and Gemma was doing what small kids do in members-only lounges: running laps. Translation: not a lot of time for adult gossip.

Across roughly three hours, Lindsay says she sat down twice. The reunion did come up, but her take was not "coming in hot" so much as "let's get this over with." And when her friend asked if West had reached out to her, her answer was simple: no. That was basically the extent of it. She added they were also trying to explain the whole TV-drama web to her best friend's dad, who is not exactly plugged into the Bravo multiverse.

For anyone wondering if she is processing this in real time, she is. Her words, paraphrased: she's still wrapping her head around it as new details trickle out pretty much daily.

About that reunion date

There was also a rumor the Season 10 reunion was set to tape on April 15. Lindsay shut that down: as of now, that is not the date. She even said she wishes it were.

How West and Amanda factor in

This all followed West Wilson, 31, and Amanda Batula, 34, confirming their relationship on March 31 with a joint Instagram note after weeks of speculation. They framed it as something that evolved out of a long friendship and asked for a little grace because, well, reality TV life complicates everything.

"We have seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity... 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."

If your jaw dropped reading that, you were not alone. The timeline is messy: Amanda recently split from husband Kyle Cooke in January, and West previously dated Amanda's close friend, Ciara Miller, back in 2023. So, yeah, delicate.

The quick beats

  • Mar 31: West and Amanda confirm they are dating via Instagram, calling it new and asking for space because of the cast dynamics.
  • Apr 6: Lindsay responds on Instagram to a Deuxmoi post, confirms she was at Zero Bond with her daughter Gemma, says she is not revving up for the reunion so much as ready to move on, and clarifies West has not reached out to her.
  • Reunion watch: Despite rumors, April 15 is not the taping date as of now, per Lindsay. She wishes it were.

Bottom line: Lindsay says the narrative being pushed about her Zero Bond night does not match what actually happened. West and Amanda are officially a thing, everyone is processing, and the reunion date is still TBD. In other words: the show behind the show is very much in season.
