“Not Sorry Enough?” Amanda Batula and West Wilson Spotted Making Out in NYC Just Hours After Tearful Apology
Amanda Batula wasted no time getting back to “normal life” — and fans are raising eyebrows.
Just hours after the Summer House star posted a heartfelt apology on April 10 for the backlash surrounding her new romance, she was spotted getting cozy with West Wilson at a popular NYC bar.
Eyewitness photos and videos from Blind Tiger Alehouse showed the pair looking very much like a couple, with some reports claiming they were caught making out during the night out.
The timing has left many Summer House fans wondering if her public “sorry” was enough — or if the drama is only heating up.
The Quick Turnaround That Has Everyone Talking
On Friday, April 10, Amanda took to her Instagram Stories to address the intense criticism she and West have faced since confirming their relationship.
In her statement, the 34-year-old said she was “truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt,” especially those close to her. She added that the situation still weighs heavily on her mentally, but for her own well-being, she planned to start living with “some sense of normalcy.”
That “normalcy” apparently kicked in fast. By around 7 p.m. the same evening, fans and gossip accounts like DeuxMoi shared snaps of Amanda and West, 31, at the West Village bar. They were seen standing close, face-to-face, and according to multiple reports, sharing intimate moments including kisses amid the crowd.
This marks one of their first very public outings together since they confirmed the romance in a joint statement at the end of March.
Inside the Controversial Romance
The relationship between Amanda and West became a major talking point after rumors surfaced in early March that the Summer House co-stars were getting flirty in NYC. The situation grew more complicated because West is the ex of Amanda’s close friend and castmate Ciara Miller, creating a messy love triangle that divided fans.
Amanda and West addressed the speculation with a joint post, explaining that their connection developed unexpectedly and that they never intended to cause hurt. Still, the backlash was swift, with many accusing them of betraying friendships within the tight-knit Summer House group.
Amanda had stayed relatively quiet until her April 10 apology, where she also confirmed she would still attend the upcoming Summer House reunion.
Fans React: Is This Moving On Too Fast?
Social media has been flooded with mixed reactions. Some supporters praised Amanda for owning her mistakes and trying to move forward privately. Others, however, questioned the sincerity of the apology given how quickly she was spotted out with West.
The photos from the bar have only added fuel to the fire, with comments ranging from “They look happy together” to “Not sorry enough apparently.”
For now, it seems Amanda and West are choosing to live their lives openly despite the noise. Sources close to the pair have previously said they are fully committed and not letting outside opinions affect them.
With Summer House Season 10 still airing and a reunion on the horizon, this new chapter in their story is sure to be discussed heavily among the cast and fans.
