Bravo has launched a full investigation into how audio from the Summer House reunion taping was leaked online, a spokesperson has confirmed to Rolling Stone.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process,” a spokesperson for the network said. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
The spokesperson declined to divulge if Bravo believed the source of the leak came from a production staffer or a cast member.
On Thursday, the cast of the Hamptons-based reality show filmed the Season 10 reunion amid an unfolding scandal between stars Ciara Miller, Amanda Batula, West Wilson, and Kyle Cooke.
Last month, Batula — who separated in January from her husband Cooke — confirmed that she was in a relationship with Wilson, who had previously dated Miller. In the currently airing season, audiences have watched Miller and Wilson work to repair their friendship in the aftermath of their December 2023 breakup. Simultaneously, Miller has been a fierce supporter of Batula during the breakdown of her marriage to Cooke.
Things unraveled over the past several weeks when rumors began circulating online that Batula and Wilson were secretly dating. But after both Batula and Wilson consistently denied the speculation, they came clean with a joint statement in late March.
Thursday’s reunion taping marked the first time the entire cast was together since the scandal broke. Shortly after filming wrapped, an unknown source leaked two-and-a-half-minute audio of the cast ripping into Wilson and Batula.
“You went from being married to being one of West’s side bitches, that’s crazy,” newcomer Mia Calabrese told Batula. Miller added, “You are a snake in the fucking grass.”
In the audio clip, Batula and Wilson seem to defend their decision and try to explain why it took them so long to confirm their romance, saying it was a complicated situation.
Reunion host Andy Cohen also voiced his frustration with the leak, writing on social media: “People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this. It’s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
The reunion is set to air May 26.
