Summer House

From TV screens to Capitol Hill ... "Summer House" alum Luke Gulbranson has announced his campaign for Congress in Minnesota’s 8th District.

The former reality star announced his candidacy Wednesday morning, and will run his campaign on focused on lowering costs, protecting essential programs, and expanding access to affordable healthcare.

Luke says he relates to the everyday Minnesotan, growing up in a working-class family that sometimes experienced financial hardship -- including reliance on food assistance and Medicaid.

He explains ... "I know what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table or paying the electric bill. I’ve lived the challenges so many families in this district are facing right now. I’m running for Congress to make sure no one is forgotten and to fight for an economy and healthcare system that actually works for us."

Lindsay Hubbard is weighing in on the "Summer House" drama ... and let’s just say ... she’s not exactly shocked.

We caught Lindsay at LAX Sunday, and when it comes to Amanda Batula linking up with West Wilson -- despite Amanda once being tight with his ex Ciara Miller -- she basically shrugged it off, saying nothing surprises her anymore.

Clearly, Lindsay’s been through enough of her own drama, so she’s not losing sleep over this one -- but she did tease all the mess will be fully unpacked at the reunion ... so yeah, stay tuned.

Amanda Batula and West Wilson are not sweating the "Summer House" scandal ... they were out and about as a couple over the weekend.

The Bravolebrities were snapped heading to the movies in NYC Sunday night, smiling and enjoying each other's company.

Amanda and West kept things casual and cozy in sweats ... seemingly unfazed by Ciara Miller's subtle shade in her recent Sephora collab.

Ciara Miller isn't holding back and she’s making it crystal clear where she stands on loyalty.

The "Summer House" star hit Instagram Saturday after a Sephora run, posting a pic with a shopping bag but it was her caption that did the talking ... "@sephora actually rewards loyalty."

The timing raised eyebrows, coming just after her ex, West Wilson, and former bestie, Amanda Batula, were spotted getting very cozy in NYC. The pair were seen making out during a double date, with a witness saying they kissed at the table before Amanda tried to duck under her sweater.

Amanda Batula said she wants to get back to normal after apologizing for "Scamanda" ... and, she tried to do just that in New York City Friday.

The "Summer House" star bravely stepped out into the Big Apple ... wearing a striped shirt with brown sleeves and a bag slung over her left arm.

Batula had a stern expression on her face ... almost certainly the product of a couple difficult weeks which culminated in her apology.

Controversial "Summer House" star West Wilson is planning on showing face at the show's upcoming reunion ... despite his recent backlash, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ … West will be in attendance for the taping -- which is set to be filmed within the next couple weeks -- amid the swirling drama involving him and costar Amanda Batula confirming their rumored relationship ... leaving fans of his ex, Ciara Miller, pretty peeved.

The timing isn’t random either, as Amanda just took to social media today saying she’ll be at the reunion as well, backing up what we first reported … and she made sure to mention how she has no plans to shy away from addressing the tension "honestly and directly."

Amanda Batula says she's sorry about the "Scamanda" of it all ... but she wants to get back to living her life.

She shared a statement on her Instagram story Friday, acknowledging the "Summer House" scandal that's sent social media into a tailspin for the past week and a half.

The Bravolebrity acknowledged she'd "been MIA" since she and West Wilson -- the ex-BF of Amanda's former BFF Ciara Miller -- confirmed they were dating.

"Summer House" star Ciara Miller is not shying away from shady comments about her costars Amanda Batula and West Wilson's recently revealed relationship ... 'cause she just took a major jab at the scandalous fling.

Ciara posted a video on Instagram from the "Euphoria" Season 3 premiere -- where she was interviewing Sydney Sweeney -- and brought up the topic of friends hooking up with their friends' exes ... a theme relevant to both Sydney's character on the show and Ciara's current drama surrounding her show's friend group.

Both women agree if their friends decide to make the risky leap of getting with their exes ... then they must tie the knot in order to make to controversial decision "worth it."

"Summer House" stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson aren't sweating the chatter about their relationship ... in fact, TMZ has learned they're leaning all the way in.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... despite speculation West has been seeing other women, that couldn't be further from the truth. We're told he's been fully committed to Amanda and showing up as a supportive partner behind the scenes.

Our sources say the noise is largely driven by fan assumptions and social media narratives painting West as a playboy ... with even innocent interactions, like chatting with fans, getting twisted into something more.

If you can't get enough of the "Summer House" scandal -- you know, the one where Amanda Batula confirmed she was hooking up with BFF Ciara Miller's ex-boyfriend West Wilson mere months after her separation from Kyle Cooke -- then you're going to love this.

On Tuesday, Bravo dropped a trailer for the "Summer House" spinoff series "In the City," and get this ... there's a shot of West and Amanda hugging.

As they go in for a big embrace, they seem to share some pet names -- Amanda calls West "cutie," and he calls her "Mandy."

Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke are back on speaking terms and it took some Bravo drama to make it happen.

The "Summer House" exes reunited for a cheeky Uber Eats ad, poking fun at Amanda Batula and West Wilson's surprise romance and fans immediately noticed something bigger behind the scenes.

Lindsay revealed in the comments ... she actually unblocked Carl just to make the collab happen ... a pretty major move considering their messy split.

Ciara Miller's not letting Amanda Batula and West Wilson's controversial romance get her down ... she's putting on a brave face and heading back into the world.

The "Summer House" star stepped out in New York City with a pal Friday afternoon ... keeping it comfy in a white sweatshirt and blue sweatpants. She's even got a grin on her face as she appears to be doing some stretching -- bringing her arms out wide as she wanders down the street.

Her male companion has quite the pointed shirt on -- the red garment is emblazoned with the quote ... "How we love is who we are."

"Summer House" star Ciara Miller has the full support of former cast members Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner in the Bravo betrayal that rocked the internet this week.

During Friday's episode of the "Giggly Squad" podcast, which recently won Podcast of the Year at the 2026 iHeartPodcast Awards, the "Summer House" alums sounded off on where they stand on the bombshell news that Amanda Batula -- Ciara's best friend -- was dating West Wilson -- Ciara's ex.

Paige made it clear where her loyalties lie, saying ... "Ciara is our real friend in real life, so we have been talking to her, consoling her, we are behind her 100%."

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.

Ciara Miller uncovered a video of Amanda Batula and West Wilson before their shocking hookup announcement ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the "Summer House" star obtained a video allegedly showing Amanda and West being intimate in his apartment -- something that left her upset. We're told neither Amanda nor West knew they were being recorded.

One source tells us Amanda sent Ciara a text Monday afternoon, saying she never meant to hurt her.

Kyle Cooke is "hangin' in" after the romance reveal that's rocked the "Summer House" cast ... but he's "really worried" about ex Amanda Batula.

Adam Glyn stopped him on the street in NYC on Wednesday to check in after the scandal took over the internet.

And while Kyle says he's fine, he's concerned that Amanda's new relationship with West Wilson is just a game to him, saying ... "West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time."
