Following the leak of audio from the taping of the much anticipated reunion of Bravo's "Summer House," the network announced on Friday that it's launching an investigation and reunion host Andy Cohen denounced the leak as "disgusting and illegal."
The Season 10 reunion of the reality TV smash was recorded in New York City on Thursday and was expected to deal with the "Scamanda" scandal that roiled the Bravoverse last month, with the finished episodes set to air in May. Shortly after production wrapped, however, a portion of the audio was leaked online.
The leaked audio features an exchange between the central players in the scandal, Ciara Miller, West Wilson and Amanda Batula, according to Deadline.
Andy Cohen, a Bravo executive and host of the “Summer House” reunion, responded to the incident Friday on Threads, calling the leak "disrespectful."
“People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday, and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this," Cohen wrote. "It’s disrespectful to the work and the tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”
Last month, Batula and Wilson made headlines after photos circulated of the pair out together in New York. Shortly after, the two went public online, confirming their relationship. Fans viewed the relationship as a betrayal of Miller, Batula’s friend and Wilson’s ex.
Cohen said after the reunion taping, “This was a lot. This was a lot. It was very intense, you guys.”
“I am walking out of the 'Summer House' reunion. I probably hosted, well, it’s over 100 reunions, maybe 150, something like that," Cohen said on his Instagram stories. "This was one of the most intense reunions we’ve ever shot."
After the leaked audio from the reunion began circulating on TikTok and Instagram, Bravo announced it was launching an investigation and would take action against those responsible.
“This represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew, and the integrity of the production process," the statement said. "We take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation. We will take appropriate action based on our findings.”
