West Wilson Sets the Record Straight on Italy Trip With Amanda Batula

West Wilson is pushing back against swirling speculation about his recent travels with fellow Summer House cast member Amanda Batula.
The 31-year-old reality star took to the Show Me Something podcast to clear up chatter that he and Batula were "fleeing the country" during the Season 10 reunion period. The pair had jetted off to Italy, which sparked online theories about the nature of their departure.
"Did you see that everyone said that, because I went to a wedding in Italy with Amanda, everyone's like, 'They're fleeing the country,'" Wilson explained on the podcast.
He stressed that their Italy excursion was straightforward: attending a family wedding. Wilson also called out whoever photographed them at Rome airport customs, describing the image as innocuous—just the two of them with backpacks.
"Whoever took the picture of us in the customs line at the Rome airport, I know exactly what you look like. Blonde woman. It's, like, us standing with backpacks. It's so stupid…my cousin got married, so I went," he said.
The conversation extended to speculation about meal expenses during their trip. Online chatter suggested Batula had used her own credit card to cover dining costs, but Wilson made clear he handled the major expenses.
"That's f–king crazy, they watched her use her credit card? I handled the flights and the hotels, motherf–ckers. How's that sound? I grew up in a house where my family split the f–king bills," he stated.
The dynamics between Wilson and Batula will receive further examination on the upcoming spinoff In The City.
