Amanda Batula is finally speaking out about Scamanda!
Late last month, Amanda and West Wilson finally confirmed they are dating after weeks of speculation. The announcement caused instant chaos online, all because the swimwear designer is best friends with West’s ex-girlfriend, Ciara Miller. He is also pals with Amanda’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke. Basically, Scamanda is like when Hannah from Girls learned her best friend, Jessa, is with her ex-boyfriend Adam! It’s an absolute betrayal!

Oof!
Since the statement, the new couple has been facing a ton of backlash! They’ve seen it, and now Amanda is addressing everything sort of! The reality star took to Instagram Stories on Friday to break her silence, offering an apology but without naming any specific names like *cough cough* Ciara! She wrote:
“Hi guys, I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’ve obviously been MIA, but I wanted to come back on and say that I’m truly sorry to everyone I’ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I’ve reached out to individually.”
Umm, why can’t Amanda say Ciara’s name? Does anyone else feel her supposed best friend deserves a direct public apology? Heck, even Kyle! He should get a shout-out here, too! Despite feeling bad about the situation, she is ready to get back to normal now:
“For the sake of my mental health, I’m going to try to start living life with some sense of normalcy. If you see me out or posting online, please know that this still weighs very heavily on me. I’m not ignoring what’s happened or what’s unfolded.”
Amanda then noted she will be at the Summer House Season 10 reunion this month, “and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.” Good! She has some explaining to do! Ch-ch-check out the post (below):
She is not the only one showing up for the reunion showdown! Sources told TMZ on Friday that West will also be in attendance for the taping in a few weeks! Oh, this is going to get sooooo messy! Especially now that we know why Amanda likely dropped the apology post on Friday! It appears she is ready to be “living life” with her man! Yeah, really! We guess Amanda is OK with West allegedly hooking up with Ciara and dating another girl while they were together!
According to photos posted to social media by DeuxMoi, West and Amanda were spotted at the Blind Tiger Alehouse in New York City on Friday night. Take a look (below):
Did Amanda just write that statement on the way to the bar? LOLz! Honestly, it seems Amanda was more concerned about the backlash of stepping out with West again than wanting to apologize! Just sayin’! Do you think so, too, Perezcious readers? What are your reactions? Tell us in the comments!
