Amanda Batula to Attend 'Summer House' Reunion Despite Reports

Amanda Batula haters who thought she'd run and hide amid the controversy surrounding her new relationship don't know who they're dealing with ... because we've learned she'll be at the "Summer House" reunion.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... rumors that Amanda won't attend the taping are total BS. The star fully intends to show up.

Our sources say she's ready to face the cast and the producers head-on ... and she's going to answer whatever questions come her way.

It's no doubt been a tough stretch for Amanda ... but we're told she's hanging in there and taking it all day by day.

As you know ... Amanda recently started hooking up with West Wilson -- her pal Ciara Miller's ex-partner -- and sources told us Ciara learned about it when she saw a video of the two engaged in an intimate act.

Amanda and West publicly revealed their romance on Tuesday ... the two said, "We've seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. 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 need a little space to process things privately before speaking on it."
