West Wilson is addressing the reactions to his relationship with Amanda Batula.

Last month, West, 31, and Amanda, 34, shocked fans and their Summer House co-stars when they officially confirmed that they were dating. The news came as a big blow to their co-star and Amanda‘s close friend Ciara Miller, who previously dated West a few summers ago.

This also marks Amanda‘s first public relationship since splitting from husband, and fellow Summer House star, Kyle Cooke earlier this year.

During the Monday (April 20) episode of his Show Me Something podcast, West addressed the backlash he and Amanda have faced since going public and also clarified their relationship timeline.

West went on to say that he and Amanda “realized things” between them were “a little bit serious.”

After confirming that they were in fact dating, West said that he’s been laying low and staying off his phone. However, he has reached out to some of his Summer House co-stars to explain things.

“I’ve sent some texts. Haven’t gotten responses from everybody yet, which is to be expected and I get it. That’s the hardest part,” he admitted. “I think with this whole situation is my actions have hurt people I care about. But the reunion’s coming up and I can give those apologies face-to-face and also clear up all of the crazy s–t that’s been on the internet.”

If you didn’t see, Ciara just recently broke her silence on West and Amanda‘s romance, and revealed who she feels betrayed by more.

New episodes of Summer House air on Tuesdays at 8pm ET on Bravo.
