The fallout from the “Summer House” divorce of the decade has reportedly taken a “vicious” and public turn in the streets of New York City.
Following their separate appearances on Watch What Happens Live in early March 2026, witnesses reportedly spotted a “disturbing” scene outside the Bravo Clubhouse. Kyle Cooke, 43, was allegedly seen “on his knees” in a desperate, last-ditch effort to plead for a reconciliation with Amanda Batula. However, the “shady-free” Amanda—who has been vocal about her “relief” since the January 2026 split—reportedly “brutally ignored” her estranged husband, walking off to party with the Season 10 newcomers and “obliterating” Kyle’s ego in front of fans and paparazzi.
The “vile” public rejection marks a sharp departure from the “amicable” statement the couple released just two months ago.
“I think people will be surprised by how quickly the ‘amicable’ mask fell off,” a source close to the production told Empire News on March 12, 2026. “Obviously, Kyle is ‘reeling’ from Amanda pulling her equity from Loverboy. He’s essentially lost his wife, his creative partner, and his financial safety net all at once. Witnesses say he was ‘viciously’ emotional, begging her to ‘just talk’ and reconsider the divorce, but Amanda didn’t even look back. She’s officially ‘done done’ and she’s making sure the world knows it.”
“It’s a hard pill to swallow for Kyle, who was spotted still wearing his wedding band as recently as last week. He reportedly thought he could ‘Peter Pan’ his way back into her heart, but Amanda has shifted into ‘No Mercy’ mode. She left him on the sidewalk to go celebrate with the new cast members like Dara Levitan and KJ Dillard,” the source added.
According to those on the scene, the “vicious” encounter happened just after Kyle filmed his segment where he denied “shady” cheating allegations. Amanda, meanwhile, has been linked to “flirty” behavior with co-star West Wilson, though she has since clarified she is “manifesting a boyfriend” who isn’t a cast member.
“It started as a professional night, and people kind of picked up on Kyle’s ‘desperate’ energy during the show,” a production insider admitted. “But the ‘disgusting’ reality of him begging on the street was a new low. It was like the worst kept secret that he was delusional about them getting back together. Amanda walking away to go party was the ‘vile’ exclamation point on their ten-year saga. She’s taking her power back, and Kyle is being left to ‘rot’ in the aftermath of his own choices.”
“Amanda wasn’t lying when she said a weight had been lifted,” a friend of the graphic designer shared. “Ultimately, she decided that his ‘shady’ late-night DJ lifestyle wasn’t something she wanted to fund or fix anymore. She’s choosing herself, even if it means ‘viciously’ bruising Kyle’s ego on a Manhattan sidewalk.”
Regarding the “party with the new cast,” insiders suggest that Amanda has formed a “viciously” tight bond with the Season 10 freshmen, who she feels “uplift” her in a way the old group dynamic didn’t.
“We don’t know if Kyle can recover professionally or personally from a hit this ‘vile.’ There’s no playbook for a ‘Summer House’ legend being publicly snubbed by the woman who saved him from $4 million in debt. We were very much on the same page as a fanbase where we thought they were ‘Ride or Die,’ but the ‘No Mercy’ rejection is the final nail in the coffin,” a commentator reasoned.
That said, Kyle has reportedly gone into a “shady” digital silence since the incident, while Amanda continues to share “glow-up” content from her new Manhattan apartment.
“Amanda’s gonna do what she has to do to heal. She’ll show the world that she’s no longer the ‘spatula’ flipping Kyle’s mess. This isn’t just a breakup; it’s a total ‘obliteration’ of the old guard,” the source shared. “She cares about her peace. She still loves the life she’s building, so in a world where Kyle is ‘on his knees,’ she’s standing taller than ever.”
Kyle’s team has not responded to requests for comment on the “vile” street scene, though sources close to him claim he is “beyond devastated” by the public nature of the snub.
