Ciara Miller Shares Message About Loyalty After Amanda Batula, West Wilson Romance Revelation
Ciara Miller is done holding back.
After the Summer House star’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson and her BFF Amanda Batula confirmed their romance, Ciara subtly addressed the love triangle with a pointed message.
As she captioned an April 11 Instagram post of herself holding a Sephora bag, “@sephora actually rewards loyalty.”
In the joint post with the beauty retailer, Ciara, 30, can be seen walking around the streets of New York in a matching blue tracksuit, gray crop top, green puffer jacket, and Timberland boots. To accessorize, the reality star made her casual look even cooler with a pair of sunglasses and a red bandana.
In the post’s comments section, a few of her Summer House costars praised her not-so-subtle jab.
“Caption” Lindsay Hubbard wrote alongside a 100 emoji, while Mia Calabrese commented, “The caption!!!!!!”
Ciara’s post comes nearly two weeks after her Bravo costars revealed they were seeing each other romantically following Amanda’s separation from husband Kyle Cooke.
Noting that “it was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” in their joint statement shared to both of their Instagram accounts March 31, Amanda and West shared insight into their decision to explore their connection in a new way.
“Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it,” they continued. “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected.”
“Our connection grew out of a genuine, long-standing friendship,” they added, “which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Following backlash from the bombshell revelation, Amanda issued an apology for those affected by her actions.
“I’ve obviously been MIA,” the 34-year-old wrote on Instagram Stories April 10 in her first post since her initial statement. “I wanted to come back on and say that I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I’ve reached out to individually.”
“For the sake of my mental health I’m going to try to start living with some sense of normalcy,” she added. “If you see me out or posting online, please know that this still weighs very heavily on me. I’m not ignoring what’s happened or unfolded.”
