We're told the "bro code" violation has hit especially hard, and Kyle is not taking it well.

As we previously reported ... Kyle had been hearing rumors for months about Amanda and West possibly being a thing, but when he confronted both of them directly, multiple times, they denied anything was going on.

Sources close to the group tell TMZ ... all the buzz about Bravo stars Amanda and West possibly being a thing was still just speculation to Amanda's ex Kyle ... even up to as recently as this weekend, before anything was officially confirmed.

We’re told Kyle had seen all the rumors swirling online, but when he directly approached both his ex-wife and his best friend multiple times, they shut it down and denied anything was going on.

"Vanderpump Villa" star Marciano Brunette claims he filmed for 'Mormon Wives,' despite his ongoing lawsuit against cast member Demi Engemann, and accuses producers of tricking him, TMZ has learned. 

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Marciano, who sued Demi and 'Mormon Wives' producers in late 2025 for defamation, said he filmed for the Hulu reality show months after his legal battle erupted.

Marciano said he is friends with cast member Chase McWhorter. “While I was on my way to Utah, Mr. McWhorter called me and asked me what I thought about permitting filming of Mormon Wives” when he visited Utah.

Marciano said they planned on staying at an Airbnb with friends, and Chase told him that producers planned on filming at the rental. Marciano said he agreed to film but had no communication with the producers.

"Summer House" cameras aren't going back up, and the reunion is still on track despite the reveal that Amanda Batula is now dating Ciara Miller's ex, West Wilson ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... there's been no talk -- at least for now -- of resuming filming to capture the fallout between Amanda and Ciara following the relationship reveal.

We're told production isn't taking a "Scandoval" approach here ... unlike "Vanderpump Rules," where cameras famously picked back up after filming wrapped to document the cheating scandal's aftermath.

It's guessing-game time! Can you score the Hollywood starlet posted up in her skivvies?! Here are your clues:

She definitely got it from her mama -- first hitting the scene on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Model, actress and influencer are just a few things she does well, and if you're still unsure who she is ... talk to her sister, Amelia!

"Summer House" stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed the Scamanda rumors ... with a new Instagram story they both shared.

They addressed the "growing online speculation" in a lengthy message to "provide some clarity," stressing they weren't trying to hide anything.

They wrote ... "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."

As we've told you ... Duggar was arrested in Arkansas earlier this month and charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor ... after a 14-year-old girl told law enforcement about several alleged incidents with Joseph she claims occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, FL in 2020 when she was only 9 years old.

Christopher was in TFP's now-canceled Season 22 of "The Bachelorette," so it's no surprise he thinks some of the backlash against Taylor has been unnecessary ... but he has points to back up his opinion.

According to Christopher, Taylor and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, may be the only people who know the full truth and context surrounding Taylor's multiple domestic violence accusations ... so the rest of us should think about butting out of it.

Sean Duffy's going back to his TV roots, but this time, he's bringing the whole family and a patriotic mission along for the ride ... TMZ has learned.

Bunim/Murray Productions -- the same company that produced Sean on MTV's "The Real World: Boston" back in 1997 -- is currently in production on a YouTube series centered around the Transportation Secretary and is being hosted and paid for by the "Great American Road Trip," an independent nonprofit organization.

We're told the series follows Duffy, his wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their family as they hit the road across America, with cameras capturing stops at theme parks, national landmarks, and small-town destinations. The project is tied to the country's upcoming 250th birthday and aims to spotlight the people, places, and stories that define the nation.
