When Amanda Texted Lindsay, It Changed Everything
Amanda Batula sent a text to Lindsay Hubbard the very next day following the reunion filming. Lindsay initially couldn’t meet because she was traveling at the time, but the gesture showed willingness to reconcile. During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on April 28, Lindsay confirmed the text exchange and teased a potential in-person meetup.
By May 13, Lindsay opened up more during her Virtual Reali-Tea podcast appearance, saying she would “maybe” meet up with Amanda soon. The hesitation wasn’t about their friendship, but rather about scheduling and processing complex emotions.
What They’ll Discuss During Their In-Person Meeting
| Topic Area | Details to Address |
| The Ciara Situation | How Ciara Miller fits into recent conflicts and loyalty questions |
| West Wilson Drama | Amanda’s relationship with West Wilson and its implications |
| Group Dynamics | Broader cast tensions and how the group moves forward |
| Their Friendship | Understanding where they stand personally after turbulence |
Lindsay Hubbard revealed she owes it to their 10-year history to hear Amanda out. She wants to understand the ‘why’ behind recent decisions and actions. The two shared a front row seat to each other’s journeys, gaining insight into relationships, careers, and personal growth within the Summer House family.
“I think that I owe it to the history of our 10 years of friendship to hear her out. We’ve gone through so much together, us as a group, specifically me, Kyle, Amanda, and Carl, for 10 years on TV. And I think that I have a lot of feelings.”

Why Different Environments Create Better Conversations
Lindsay Hubbard believes that stepping away from the typical Summer House setting will allow for more authentic dialogue. She noted that different environments can create different conversations, allowing both women to speak freely without the pressure of cameras watching every reaction.
This approach mirrors how many long-standing friendships survive reality television drama. By removing themselves from the show’s context, Lindsay and Amanda can address personal grievances and reconnect on a human level rather than performative one.
Will Their Friendship Make a Complete Comeback?
Neither Lindsay nor Amanda has guaranteed what their friendship will look like after this meeting. Lindsay emphasized that she still has unresolved feelings to process, even beyond what she expressed at the reunion. The conversation could lead to full reconciliation, a recalibrated friendship, or honest acceptance of changed dynamics.
What’s clear is that both cast members value their decade-long bond enough to try. With the Summer House Season 10 reunion airing in three parts starting May 26, fans will get insight into what triggered this potential healing moment. The meeting between these two powerhouses could be a turning point for the entire cast’s future.
