West Wilson won’t be returning for “Summer House” Season 11 when the Bravo show begins filming in the Hamptons in early July, a source has confirmed. His contract has not been renewed.

After delivering its most-watched season ever — propelled by an intra-cast scandal that put the Bravo show in the headlines for months — the next season of “Summer House” will have some major cast changes, born out of necessity. The first one on the docket is the ouster of Wilson, who was — alongside Amanda Batula — at the center of the Season 10 conflagration.
Wilson dug his own grave with “Summer House.” Rumors began in March that he and Batula were dating — or something — which many fans refused to believe, thinking Batula would never do that to her close friend Ciara Miller, who’d been in a tortured romantic dynamic with Wilson since Season 8. But in fact, Batula would do that to Miller — and did! And Wilson and Batula would both do that to Kyle Cooke, Batula’s estranged husband, and, along with Lindsay Hubbard, a founding member of the “Summer House” cast.
On March 31, Wilson and Batula announced their coupledom (or something!) in a joint Instagram post. The post, and the idea of them as a couple, did not please the Bravo faithful. And matters only got worse as the three reunion episodes rolled out, in which they appeared to be deceitful, unapologetic and drugged.
In public, Wilson has appeared to be increasingly hostile to the show. A sports journalist for Complex, Wilson said on his own podcast, “Show Me Something,” that he hoped the New York Knicks would lose to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, forcing a Game 6 in the NBA finals. That way, Wilson reasoned, no one would watch “Summer House: The Aftermath,” the bonus episode of the show that’s airing on June 16.
