Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia didn’t hold back when she questioned the timeline of West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s romance. On her podcast, the influencer dismissed parts of the couple’s account and offered a different sequence of events that has drawn fresh attention to the Summer House cast’s private lives.
LaPaglia’s blunt take on the couple’s timeline
On a recent episode of her show, LaPaglia said she doubts the official account of when the relationship began. She used a blunt word to describe the timeline, calling it “bulls–t.” The comment came after she recalled hearing claims that the pair announced their romance only after they had already been involved.

She made it clear she was relaying what she’d been told and not presenting first-hand proof. Still, her skepticism has amplified public curiosity about the timing of the hookup and the choices made by cast members.
What LaPaglia says West told her at the Super Bowl
LaPaglia says West Wilson spoke to her at the 2026 Super Bowl. According to her account, Wilson acknowledged a romantic connection with Batula.
- She insists he didn’t describe sexual details.
- Rather, he reportedly framed the two of them as “a thing,” implying more than friendship.
- LaPaglia emphasized that his comments were brief and conversational, not an explicit timeline.
The podcaster’s recollection places an implied relationship before the pair’s public confirmation in March.
Key moments behind the headlines
To help readers follow the controversy, here’s a simplified sequence of relevant events as reported publicly and through LaPaglia’s account.
- Feb. 8, 2026 — LaPaglia says West hinted they were involved at the Super Bowl.
- Late February — The pair reportedly shared their first kiss.
- March — West and Amanda issued a joint announcement revealing they were dating.
- After the statement — They said their relationship became physical.
- May — Ciara Miller spoke out, accusing Batula of lying about the situation.
How other cast relationships complicate the story
The controversy gained traction because of existing ties among Summer House cast members. Amanda Batula separated from her husband, Kyle Cooke, earlier in the year. Around the same time, West briefly dated Ciara Miller, who is close with Batula. Those overlapping bonds make the situation more sensitive.
LaPaglia admitted she hadn’t followed Summer House closely before the dispute. Still, she said the entangled friendships and romances made the whole sequence seem “crazy” to her.
The couple’s public response and what they revealed
When West Wilson and Amanda Batula went public in March, they issued a joint message explaining their decision to wait before speaking. They said the relationship emerged from a long friendship and that they needed privacy to process the dynamics.
They insisted they never meant to hurt anyone and framed the pause as a way to avoid hurting castmates amid complex personal ties and reality TV scrutiny.
At the Season 10 reunion, the two provided more detail, saying their first kiss happened in late February and that intimacy followed their public statement in March.
Cast fallout and public reactions
Ciara Miller has been among the loudest critics. She told media outlets she felt betrayed and said reconciliation with Batula is unlikely.
Representatives for West and Amanda did not immediately respond to requests for comment, leaving parts of the timeline disputed and unresolved.
