Amanda Batula Backs Explosive Accusations Against Estranged Husband Kyle Cooke as Reality TV Fallout Deepens
Amanda Batula has publicly validated claims that estranged husband Kyle Cooke lost his temper because he can no longer control her career moves. The Bravo star endorsed viral fan accusations following Cooke’s aggressive online attacks directed at her new partner, West Wilson, marking an explosive new chapter in the fallout from their high-profile split.
The controversy ignited directly on social media after news broke that Batula declined to return for Season 2 of the spinoff series In the City. Responding to an observer on X who suggested Cooke melted down in comment sections because his manipulation tactics ceased working, Batula simply dropped a bullseye emoji, affirming the critique without reservation.

Cooke had previously posted and deleted a scathing comment under Wilson’s Instagram account, alleging Wilson sabotaged Batula’s professional standing.
“More like [you’re] a coke head that blew my ex’s life and career up,” Cooke wrote before removing the post.

Behind the Fiery Social Media Clash
The rift between the trio reached a boiling point after Wilson addressed a commenter attempting to hold him accountable for breaking an unwritten friendship code with Cooke. When an online user pointed out that Cooke used to be his close friend, Wilson fired back with serious allegations regarding Cooke’s verbal treatment of Batula during their marriage.
“My boy’s don’t call their partners ‘dumb ass bitch,’” Wilson responded online.
A representative for Cooke did not immediately provide comment on the accusations.

The Contract Dispute Behind the Bravo Exit
While public finger-pointing frames Batula’s career decisions entirely around personal drama, industry insiders point toward conflicting accounts behind her refusal to film.
Common Misconception: Social chatter suggests Wilson unilaterally forced Batula to walk away from reality television opportunities.
Documented Reality: Multiple reports cite production stalemates and network negotiations as the true breaking point for the television star.
- The Network Casting Standoff: One production insider revealed executives wanted Batula back solely in a part-time role, rejecting her formal push to cast Wilson alongside her.
- Production Timing Issues: A separate source insisted that the schedule and timing simply did not align for them to shoot the season.
- Financial Negotiations: A third report confirmed that contract negotiations broke down because the production failed to meet Batula’s financial compensation requests.

Timeline of the Unraveling Partnership
The rapid shift from marital stability to open hostility unfolded across several distinct milestones:
- January Split: Cooke and Batula ended their four-year marriage after years of documenting their relationship on screen.
- March Romance: Batula and Wilson went public with their relationship, creating friction because Wilson had previously dated her close friend Ciara Miller.
- Cast Shakeup: Wilson was removed from the main series cast prior to Season 11 production, prompting Batula to walk away from the flagship show as well.
- Spinoff Filming: In the City moved forward without Batula, focusing its cameras on Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, and several new additions.
