The Summer House season 10 reunion is sure to be a memorable one amid costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s romance — and the fallout that has followed.

“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. 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,” Amanda and West wrote in a joint Instagram statement in March. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Months before, Amanda and Summer House costar Kyle Cooke announced their separation after four years of marriage. West, for his part, had previously been in a relationship with Amanda’s BFF and Summer House costar Ciara Miller.

Lindsay Hubbard Responds to Claim West Reached Out Amid Amanda Romance

Amanda Batula Confirms She Will Be at ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion

After Amanda and West confirmed their romance in March, she took to social media the following month to share an apology.

“I’ve obviously been MIA, but 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,” Amanda wrote at the time. “For the sake of my mental health, I’m going to try to start living life 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 what’s unfolded.”

Amanda concluded, “I’ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.”

Lindsay Hubbard Says She’s Looking Forward to ‘Getting Through’ Season 10 ‘Summer House’ Reunion

Lindsay Hubbard exclusively told Us Weekly in April that she’s looking forward to “getting through” the Summer House season 10 reunion. “I don’t know if I have anything to be nervous about. I thought it was a really good season so far for me,” Lindsay told Us. “I know we still have half of a season left to go on Summer House and then a whole other show [In the City] after that, so there’s still a lot to come.”

'Summer House' Cast Wants Answers About Amanda and West Timeline at Reunion

The Cast Wants Answers at the ‘Summer House’ Reunion

“They are all going,” a source exclusively told Us in April, confirming everyone will be in attendance. “The plan is they will be talking about everything and the timeline of Amanda and West hooking up.”

The insider added, “Everyone on the cast wants them to admit on camera when this all started and how serious it is.”

A separate source told Us that same month that the cast is “more than ready for the reunion to be over at this point, and the general vibe is a mix of frustration and curiosity.”

“The common consensus is that they’re not convinced they will get the full truth from Amanda and West, no matter how many times the questions are asked,” the insider said, explaining that the cast feel like “parts of the story are still being held back or carefully spun” by the pair.

The cast “wants real and straightforward answers,” the source added.

Has the ‘Summer House’ Reunion Seating Chart Been Released?

Bravo unveiled the season 10 reunion seating chart via X on April 23. Ciara will be sitting on one side of host Andy Cohen, with Amanda on the other side. Kyle will be next to Ciara, followed by Lindsay, Mia Calabrese, Bailey Taylor and Ben Waddell. Next to Amanda is West, along with Carl Radke, Jesse Solomon, KJ Dillard, Dara Levitan and Levi Sebree.

When Does ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion Film?

Hours after Amanda and West confirmed their relationship, a source told Us that the reunion was set to film in “mid-April.” Bravo announced on April 23 that they were “filming now,” releasing the seating chart at the same time.

Host Andy confirmed late on April 23 that he’d wrapped filming on the taping, promising one of the most “intense” reunions in Bravo history.

“I am walking out of the Summer House reunion. … I’ve probably hosted, well, it’s over a 100 reunions, maybe 150, something like that,” Andy teased via Instagram. “This was one of the most intense [reunions] we’ve ever shot. This was a lot. This was a lot. It was very intense, you guys.”

Did the ‘Summer House’ Season 10 Reunion Leak?

Hours after the Summer House season 10 reunion finished filming in New York City, alleged audio clips from the taping appeared via social media. In the alleged audio, Ciara can be heard confronting Amanda and West about the timeline of their romance.

Bravo confirmed to Us Weekly that it was launching a “full investigation” into how the alleged leaked audio got out to the public.

“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 Bravo spokesperson told Us on April 24. “We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.”

Earlier in the day, Andy expressed his disappointment over the leak and encouraged Summer House fans to wait for the reunion to play out on the show.

“On my way to eye surgery and just reading about it,” Andy wrote via Threads on April 24, after a fan warned him to stay off 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.”

The Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen host added, “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.”

Andy Cohen Says Lindsay Hubbard Gets ‘Activated’

During an April 28 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Lindsay revealed that the event’s filming saw her confront West about trying to hide his relationship with Amanda. Asked by Andy about West’s March Instagram Story that showed Ciara playing with Lindsay’s toddler, Gemma, Lindsay didn’t mince words.

“That really pissed me off,” she told Cohen. “He used my child as clickbait to sort of cover up his relationship, and I didn’t like that. And we talk about it at the reunion.”

Andy added his own recollection of the filming. “If y’all want to know if Lindsay was activated … there was one point where I was trying to talk to West, Ciara, Kyle and Amanda, and Lindsay is, like, all over me. I’m like, ‘Stop,’” he said.

Lindsay closed out the conversation with yet another teaser. “I’ve been on Summer House for 10 years and we’ve done these reunions for nine of them, and honestly this was one of the most intense, dramatic reunions that I have ever experienced,” she said. “I had to beg Andy for a pee break, I was, like, ‘Please, let us go pee.’”

KJ Discusses His Mental Health

During the May 5 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, KJ recalled an apology text from West that discussed what was filmed at the reunion one day prior.

Quoting West’s text, KJ read, “Sending you love in regard to your mental health. You shared a lot yesterday [at the reunion] and I know it mightn’t carry much weight now but I’m always rooting for the best for you.” (West had instigated the text to address hiding his romance with Amanda from friends including KJ.)

KJ has never been shy about discussing his mental health, sharing his September 2025 borderline personality disorder diagnosis via Instagram two months later.

Is There a ‘Summer House’ Reunion Trailer?

Bravo dropped the official season 10 reunion trailer on May 19. In the video, both Amanda and West found themselves in the hot seat after Ciara called them out for their secret romance.

“Over the past six years, I have been your f***ing champion,” Ciara told Amanda. “I couldn’t fathom that I would be sitting here pissed that you’re f***ing my ex.”

Ciara went on to claim that her ex-boyfriend West “wants to embarrass me. He wants to get his last little word. And I hope it works because he’s with you to spite me.”

Elsewhere in the trailer, Jesse started to cry over how the scandal has affected his relationship with West.

“I feel like I’m losing a brother,” Jesse confessed. “I hope that you can somehow improve and prove us wrong, but it doesn’t look good.”

West, for his part, told host Andy that his and Amanda’s relationship isn’t that big of a deal. “This isn’t like a sex scandal. It was, like, hanging out,” he claimed.

Looksmaxxing influencer Braden Peters — better known online as Clavicular — has been at the center of several controversies.

Peters gained a substantial internet following after joining the “looksmaxxing” community, described as a group of men who “obsess over physical self-improvement in the hope that it’ll improve their dating odds,” according to a February 2026 GQ story.

In April 2026, Peters went viral when he abruptly ended and walked off the set of a sit-down with 60 Minutes Australia correspondent Adam Hegarty. Days later, Us Weekly confirmed that Peters had “suffered a suspected overdose” and had “since been hospitalized.”

Scroll down to see his biggest controversies:

Clavicular Hospitalized After Suspected Overdose

One day after his hospitalization, Peters posted a selfie to X with blood visible on his face.

“Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution,” he wrote. “The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”

Hours later, Clavicular shared that he would be appearing at the grand opening of the Bacara nightclub in Miami, Florida.

“Hey guys, I’m all good. Bacara Club grand opening is still tonight, so I will see you guys at 12 [a.m.],” Clavicular said via his Instagram Story at the time.

Following the incident, Us confirmed that Clavicular’s rep quit. 

“Clavicular’s PR person Mitchell Jackson has quit working with the streamer until he agrees to get treatment for his addiction,” journalist Taylor Lorenz reported via X in April 2026. “Clavicular recently left the hospital against medical advice after an OD incident.”

Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza Sues Clavicular

According to court documents obtained by Us, influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza filed a lawsuit against Peters for fraud, battery and causing emotional distress. Mendoza alleged that Peters wanted her to serve as the female face of looksmaxxing, and she said the two met when she was 16.

Court documents alleged that Peters had sex with Mendoza “while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent” and that he referred to these encounters as a “pump and dump.”

The filing further alleged that Peters wanted to inject Mendoza’s face with a product to “melt fat on her cheeks,” during which he “stated or implied that he was acting with medical authority, including by referring to himself as a doctor or otherwise holding himself out as qualified to perform the injection.” Mendoza’s attorneys argued that Peters was not authorized to inject their client in November 2026. The alleged session was livestreamed.

“Peters intentionally injected Mendoza with an unapproved drug without consent, causing physical and psychological injuries to her,” the documents stated. “Under Florida law, these acts constitute battery.”

Peters’ attorney, Steve Kramer, denied the allegations in a statement to Us. “We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters,” Kramer said. “These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr. Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events. He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself.”

Clavicular Arrested for Misdemeanor Battery

In March 2026, Peters was arrested in Fort Lauderdale and charged with misdemeanor battery. The bond was set at $1,000. (Us reached out to Peters’ rep for comment at the time.)

Us learned that there was a fight between Peters’ girlfriend, Violet Marie Lentz, and Jenny Popach — who previously went viral for breaking into the Hype House in June 2020. Peters was present for the incident.

Clavicular Avoided Jail Time After Shooting Allegedly Dead Alligator

Hours prior to his arrest in March 2026, Peters shot an already-dead alligator in the Florida Everglades during a livestream. Us understands that the alligator was dead when the influencer received permission from the boat’s driver to shoot it.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was made aware of the incident and issued a statement. “The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement on X.

In May 2026, Peters was sentenced to six months of probation. He pleaded no contest to the charge of unlawfully discharging a firearm in public and avoided jail time as part of the plea agreement. The influencer must complete 20 hours of community service — which could not be livestreamed — and take a firearms safety course, per the New York Times.

If Peters follows the terms of the plea deal, the charge will be removed from his record. His lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, said in a statement that the influencer “accepted responsibility for his conduct and reached a resolution that appropriately reflects the circumstances of this incident.”

“No individual was injured, and the alligator involved was already deceased prior to the events at issue,” he added.

Clavicular’s YouTube Channels Get Shut Down

In April 2026, Peters confirmed that two of his YouTube channels were shut down. In emails allegedly from YouTube shared by Peters, the channels were removed following “severe or repeated violations” of the website’s Community Guidelines.

“Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation,” he wrote via X at the time. “The channels consisted of livestream VODs and free courses created by me to help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves.”

“Me and my team worked hard to ensure we followed YouTube’s TOS very strictly, blurring out all inapproriate [sic] language and sensitive topics,” Clavicular’s social media post continued, tagging YouTube. “Could you please help in recovering my accounts?”

YouTube confirmed the termination in a separate statement. “We terminated the creator’s original channel back in November 2025,” a spokesperson for the platform told The Hollywood Reporter. “We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibit creating new channels after a termination.”

Clavicular Walks Off ‘’60 Minutes Australia’

In an interview that aired in April 2026, 60 Minutes Australia correspondent Hegarty asked Peters whether he identifies as an incel.

“How could you ask me that question as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women? I mean, that’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard,” Peters said.

When Hegarty rephrased the question and pointed out that the “looksmaxxing” term originated in the incel community and asked about the associated, Peters replied, “I’m not linked to that group in any way.”

He continued, “Looksmaxxing is self improvement, right? So it’s about potentially even ascending out of that category. So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”

After Hegarty asked about his associations with controversial figures like Andrew Tate, Peters walked off and had his mic removed. A spokesperson for Peters told People: “When the journalist pressed him on a topic that isn’t of his expertise, Clavicular shut him down.”

For Mindy Kaling, having her weight loss be discussed on the internet is something she can understand.

“It’s sometimes no fun when one of your favorite actors loses weight. You have an idea of what they were like when you grew attached to them, and it made them endear themselves to you,” Kaling, 46, told Bustle in a profile published on Tuesday, May 19. “Of course, it’s never a joy to be scrutinized, but also I truly understand it, as someone who consumes pop culture.”

Kaling, who has three children, shared that her decision to lose weight stemmed from her realization that she needs to “live at least 20 more years” for her family. (The Mindy Project actress is mom to Katherine “Kit,” 8, Spencer, 5, and Anne, 2. She has never publicly disclosed the identity of the father of her children.)

“Do I wake up every day being like, ‘I look amazing and I’m so gorgeous’? No, unsurprisingly, but I truly feel so healthy,” she said.

Mindy Kaling Says People Take Her Weight Loss 'So Personally'

While Kaling noted that she is considering shedding light on her weight loss via writing in the future, she’s currently open to discussing the motivation behind her health journey.

“When I was younger, I would want to lose weight because of vanity reasons,” she explained. “Now I want to lose weight or have lost weight because I want to stave off things like diabetes. I had it on both sides of my family, and trying to avoid those kinds of things will, I think, help longevity for me, and that’s my goal.”

Kaling has been candid about her body image issues through the years. In her 2011 memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Kaling detailed creating a “makeshift diet formula” in high school after a classmate told her she would “be really pretty if you lost weight.” Kaling shared that she “would eat exactly half of what was put in front of me, and no dessert.”

Mindy Kaling Says She Looks ‘Different’ While Doing 2016 Trend

Kaling noted that she “stayed at a pretty normal weight until college” when she gained 35 pounds during the first six months of her freshman year. After exercising, Kaling dropped the weight but announced she would be “chubby for life” because she had “no hobbies except dieting,” had “no discipline,” men she’s “dated have been into me the way I am” and she was “pretty happy with the way I look, so long as I don’t break a beach chair.”

Years later, Kaling shared that pregnancy had shifted her mindset. “I feel like in conversations about fitness and exercise, if you’re going to be talking about someone who’s healthy and fit, you have to be a hard body with, like, a six-pack,” she told Shape in 2021. “But that’s not really how it works, and I have learned to embrace [my body] in the past six months [since having a baby].”

Rowling,” the HBO logline reads. “The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters Harry Potter fans have loved for over twenty-five years.

Former OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue has been making headlines for her alleged pregnancy — mainly, whether or not it is actually real.

Blue (real name Tia Billinger) claimed in February that she was pregnant weeks after having unprotected sex with 400 men as part of her “breeding mission.” In March, Blue admitted that the entire pregnancy was a stunt before claiming in May that she is pregnant.

One year prior to the alleged pregnancy, Blue — who separated from estranged husband Oliver “Ollie” Davidson in 2023 — exclusively told Us Weekly that she struggled with fertility in the past.

“I tried to get pregnant for years with my ex-partner and really, really struggled and I’d have to go down the IVF route,” she said at the time. “So I wish I could say I might get pregnant, however, I’m not in that position where I can fall pregnant naturally.”

Scroll down to see more of what Blue has said about her alleged pregnancy:

Bonnie Blue Announces Her Pregnancy After the ‘Breeding Mission’

Blue first claimed she was pregnant in a YouTube video posted in February, weeks after completing what she called a “breeding mission.”

“I’ve been being sick, a headache, and when I say headache I mean like mega migraine,” Blue said in the video. “Foods have been making me feel sick, but then also some foods I’m wanting to eat instantly else I will be sick.”

She then took an at-home pregnancy test on camera. “That is a pretty… it’s like half pink, half white. Kind of looks like a drumstick actually. Yeah, definitely pregnant. Like fully pregnant,” she said.

An alleged ultrasound later confirmed the result, she claimed. “Oh, is that the baby?” she asked. “That’s actually crazy.”

Bonnie Blue Defends Her Pregnancy From Critics

Blue hit back at haters amid her alleged pregnancy. “To the women showing anger towards me because they’ve experienced a miscarriage, that’s wrong,” Blue said in a press release obtained by Us. “It’s terrible that they’ve gone through such a loss and I genuinely can’t comprehend what they’ve had to endure. But I am not the reason for it.”

She added, “It’s my body and I can choose to share news about my pregnancy however I wish. It does not mock miscarriages at all.”

Bonnie Blue Plans to Auction Off Baby’s Name

In March, Blue exclusively told Us she had plans to auction off the baby’s name.

“I would like to auction off the baby’s name, I think that would be quite fun,” Blue said. “I think I want to get my fans involved in a gender reveal. They’re going to be involved along the way.”

Bonnie Blue Brushes Off Silicone Bump Speculation

After Blue uploaded a video from her annual spring break event wearing a bikini and a towel, fans noticed she seemed to be wearing a silicone bump. When asked about the rumors, Blue told Us, “I would just say women’s bodies come in all different shapes and sizes, and it’s as simple as that.”

Blue proceeded to double down on the pregnancy.

“It’s not my job to convince them I am actually pregnant,” Blue told Us. “The more doubts, the more comments, the more views, and it will stay that way. So enjoy watching me carrying a doll around this year, because I am pregnant.”

Bonnie Blue Confirms Pregnancy Is a Stunt

In a video filmed outside a villa in Mexico, Blue cradled the silicone bump strapped to her T-shirt.

“So, spring break is done, and I’m no longer gonna need this fake bump so thank you for all you middle-aged dumb parents that fell for my rage bait, because not only has it paid for the villa, the sunshine, but over 100 million views has made me £1 million better off,” Blue said in the clip, per the Mirror.

Bonnie Blue Says She’s Pregnant

In May, Blue was spotted partying in Ayia Napa — and shared in a press release obtained by Us that she is pregnant. “I told you I was pregnant, it’s not my fault you’re dumb,” she said.
