Part 2 of the “Summer House” reunion aired earlier this week, and now that it’s been a few days, more and more people are chiming in on the episode. Body language expert Inbaal Honigman was one of them, stating that she believed Amanda Batula was “distressed” when she rushed off stage after taking heat from her co-stars about her secretive relationship with West Wilson. As for the latter, the expert said that Wilson was troubled when his girlfriend left the stage because that meant he would have to face the music alone.
Speaking with OK Magazine, Honigman spoke about Batula’s dramatic exit from the “Summer House” reunion stage. It came after her co-star, Ciara Miller, said that she believed Batuala and Wilson would work out because of Batula’s deep insecurities.
“When Amanda breaks down and asks to take a moment, she’s genuinely distressed,” Honigman said. “Sweaty and out of breath, she is feeling the heat. We see her holding the back of her hand to her face, which is a strong protective gesture.”
Expert Calls Out Wilson, Says He Snarled ‘In Frustration’ During ‘Summer House’ Reunion Taping
As for Wilson, cameras showed him being pressured to leave the “Summer House” reunion stage to chase after Batula following her teary-eyed exit.
“You should go after you f—ing girl,” cast member Lindsay Hubbard screamed at him. “Get up and go after her. Be a f—ing man.”
According to Honigman, Wilson appeared to be bothered by Batula’s sudden exit because it forced him to face the rest of his cast alone.
“As Amanda flounces off stage, West looks on, his eyes go after her but his body stays put, and he snarls in frustration,” Honigman said. “His teeth clench and his upper lip curls up in a snarl, and West’s eyes close at the same time, in an expression which is a mixture of disgust and disappointment. He cannot believe that she’s gone and now he’s got to answer all the harsh questions.”
Body Language Professional Says The ‘Summer House’ Cast Were ‘Defensive’ Instead Of ‘Inclusive’ Toward Batula
After nearly 30 minutes, Batula returned to the reunion stage, but the expert says her comeback wasn’t well received by the cast.
“When Amanda walks in, it is as if a bad smell entered the room, and everyone is instantly uncomfortable,” she said. “Jovial body language gives way to shifty moves and expressions. Suddenly, the cast are defensive instead of inclusive.”
Later, the expert also cited cutting statements Dara Levitan made about Wilson. On stage, Levitan said Wilson wants “people to think of you as a good guy.” However, she said that Wilson treats “the woman that give themselves to you like they’re expendable.”
The expert said that Levitan’s comments were the “most accurate of the entire reunion.”
She added, “While she describes West’s self-aggrandising ways, and his disdain for his roster of partners, Dara shakes her head from side to side in disbelief. Her hands can be seen, tightening and wringing in her lap, as she tries to contain her nervousness.”
Wilson And Batula Confirm Their Relationship After Intense Speculation
Don’t forget, Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship back in March 2026 after weeks of intense speculation.
“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity. It was never our intention to purposely hide anything,” their joint Instagram statement read. “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.”
They didn’t stop there. The pair went on to say that their relationship formed after they grew closer as friends, adding that their connection was unexpected.
“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this,” they continued.
Another Cast Member Speaks About Relationship With Wilson
According to a previous report from The Blast, “Summer House” star KJ Dillard spoke publicly about his relationship with Wilson, revealing that they’re no longer friends.
“I know people make mistakes. I’m someone that gives grace, trust me,” Dillard said. “I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and people have given me grace, but it just seems like he’s not learning from his mistakes.”
Dillard then likened Wilson to his womanizing father, saying it hurts to see him toy with other people’s feelings.
“I’m just like, ‘Bro, what is going on? Are you actually sorry?’” Dillard stated.
