The September Date Nobody Saw Coming
Mia Alario appeared on Watch What Happens Live Wednesday, April 23, revealing details about her date with West Wilson last September.
She said West was “chivalrous” and “very charming” in person. But she also dropped a crucial detail: Amanda Batula was hanging out with him first. Mia joked she was caught in West’s “dragnet that he threw across New York City.” The characterization paints a picture of a man juggling multiple romantic interests simultaneously.

Now, Mia’s comments have reignited debate about the actual timeline of West and Amanda’s connection, contradicting West’s recent podcast claims.
Amanda’s Bombshell Confession at BravoCon
Mia claims that Amanda herself told her the shocking truth at BravoCon. According to Mia, Amanda said she and West “pregamed” at his apartment before Mia’s date.
“I met Amanda at BravoCon and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” Mia stated on the late-night show. “At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend.'”
Amanda also allegedly shared that she gave West “some advice and some tips.” Mia sarcastically responded, “I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what?” This remark suggests West may have used similar strategies or language with both women, making the situation feel duplicitous.
The Timeline That Won’t Go Away
| Date | Event |
| June 2025 | Sources say Amanda and West connected initially |
| September 2025 | Mia’s date with West, Amanda allegedly with him beforehand |
| January 2026 | Amanda announces separation from Kyle Cooke after 4 years |
| February 2026 | West claims their relationship ‘got serious’ |
| March 2026 | West and Amanda go public with relationship announcement |
| April 21, 2026 | West addresses timeline on his podcast, denies overlap |
| April 23, 2026 | Mia reveals Amanda’s pregame confession at BravoCon |
Mia’s revelations directly contradict what West shared earlier on his “Show Me Something” podcast on April 20.
West insisted there was “no overlap” between his relationship with former flame Ciara Miller and his new romance with Amanda. He emphasized that “everyone was single” before things got romantic. But Mia’s account suggests the connection predated his claims significantly.
“Looking back at it, it was still a fun time. I will say it was a fun time. Did I know his morale? No.”

Mia made clear she wants no part of this drama anymore. “Now looking back at it, it’s a messy situation and I don’t want any part of that at all,” she said. Her statement underscores how complicated dating in the Bravo universe has become when multiple cast members cross paths romantically.
The situation involves West previously dating Ciara Miller, one of Amanda’s friends. Amanda herself was married to Kyle Cooke, a Summer House veteran, until their January separation. The web of relationships and betrayals has shocked Summer House fans and dominated Bravo discussions for weeks.
West has acknowledged that his actions hurt people he cares about. He plans to offer apologies face-to-face at the upcoming Summer House Season 10 reunion and clear up the internet’s “crazy” speculation about when everything started.
What Happens at the Reunion?
The Summer House Season 10 reunion looms as the moment of reckoning. West has promised to address everything directly and apologize to everyone affected by his dating decisions. Amanda has also committed to answering questions “honestly and directly” at the reunion, suggesting the full timeline may finally be hashed out publicly.
However, Mia’s revelation just days before the reunion arrives may have shifted how cast members and fans view the situation. The pregame detail adds weight to theories that West and Amanda‘s connection started far earlier than February 2026. Whether West will adjust his timeline at the reunion remains to be seen, but Mia’s firsthand account suggests the truth is more complicated than his podcast interview indicated.
