Kyle Cooke Calls West Wilson a 'Coke Head' Who Blew Up Ex's Career

Kyle Cooke has issued a scathing attack on West Wilson, accusing the Bravo alum of ruining his ex-wife Amanda Batula’s career. According to the New York Post ^[1], Cooke left a comment under Wilson’s Instagram post calling him a “coke head that blew my ex’s life and career up.”

The comment appeared on Thursday morning, shortly after reports emerged that Batula would not return to “In the City” for its second season. The New York Post noted that the comment was screen-grabbed by Bravo and Cocktails before being deleted, though it is unclear who removed it ^[1]. Us Weekly reported that Cooke, 43, posted the remark around 6:51 a.m. in response to Wilson’s caption “What the heck” on a photo dump featuring Batula ^[2].

The timing of the outburst coincides with conflicting reports about Batula’s departure from “In the City.” A source told the New York Post that Batula, 35, refused a limited return because Bravo would not allow her to film with Wilson, 31 ^[1]. However, other sources disputed this, claiming the timing was simply wrong or that salary demands were unmet. Just Jared confirmed the exit but noted the reasons remain murky, with sources offering varying explanations ^[3].

Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January after more than a decade together. Their split became public fodder when Batula and Wilson revealed their relationship two months later, a move that strained friendships within the “Summer House” cast. Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson, referred to Batula as a “snake in the grass” during the season 10 reunion, as reported by the New York Post ^[1].

Wilson was fired from “Summer House” Season 11, and Batula’s departure from that series was also confirmed. Despite the fallout, Wilson is not done with television. Deadline reported that he will join the cast of Netflix’s “Million Dollar Secret” Season 3, joining stars like Christine Quinn and Brianna LaPaglia ^[1].

Meanwhile, Cooke is navigating single life. He told Us Weekly that he has been dating casually, describing himself as “Kyle 2.0” after a fun summer without his ex ^[2]. He stated he did not want to rush into a relationship and has been exploring hookups and friends-with-benefits dynamics while filming the upcoming season.

As for “In the City” Season 2, filming has begun with Cooke and Lindsay Hubbard. Sources indicate that Danielle Olivera and her boyfriend, as well as Andrea Denver and his wife, were not asked back ^[1]. Neither Cooke, Batula, Wilson, nor Bravo representatives have issued further statements addressing the social media drama.
