Bravo has launched a full investigation into how audio footage from the Summer House reunion has leaked online.
The hit reality series had all eyes on them heading into the taping of the reunion special in New York City on Thursday, which was hosted by Bravo host and executive producer Andy Cohen. Not long after the taping wrapped, audio footage leaked of the castmembers at the center of the show’s unfolding off-camera scandal — Amanda Batula, West Wilson and Ciara Miller — arguing back and forth about the events that led to Batula and Wilson both coming out with their relationship as well as defending it, despite Batula being married to castmember Kyle Cooke and Wilson being Batula’s friend Miller’s ex-boyfriend.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew and the integrity of the production process,” a Bravo spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday morning about the audio, which THR won’t publish here. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
Cohen also condemned the violation of filming. In response to a comment on Instagram, the Watch What Happens Live! host, who leads all Bravo reunions, wrote, “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this. It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
The currently airing 10th season of Summer House has four more episodes left before the reunion begins airing on May 26.
More to come.
