Lindsay Hubbard says she may soon sit down with Amanda Batula after the two women started texting again, reopening a conversation that has shadowed the Summer House cast for weeks. Hubbard said on Tuesday that she would be interested in meeting up with Batula, and later added that she and Batula are trying to find a time to do it.
The latest sign of movement came after Gabbing with Gib host Gibson Johns shared on Threads on May 11 that Batula had reached out. Johns wrote that Batula texted Hubbard and that they were trying to figure out a time to meet. Hubbard then confirmed on April 28, while appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, that Batula had texted her the day after the Summer House Season 10 reunion was filmed. At the time, Hubbard said she was traveling and answered, "I don't know yet. I'm a little busy, so we'll see," when asked about a possible meetup.
Hubbard gave the strongest indication yet on May 13 during the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, saying she "maybe" will meet up with Batula soon. She said she feels she owes it to the history of their 10 years of friendship to hear Batula out. Hubbard said the group has spent 10 years on TV together, especially her, Kyle Cooke, Batula and Carl Radke, and that they have had "a front row seat to everyone's journey." She added that there is still more to be said and that different settings can change how people talk to one another.
That matters now because the cast is back in the Hamptons for Summer House Season 10, and the off-camera conversation is unfolding while the show is airing Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streaming the next day on Peacock. Batula is also going through a separation from Cooke, which adds another layer to a friendship already shaped by years of filming, public arguments and shared history.
Hubbard did not frame herself as eager to relitigate everything. She said there is a lot to talk about, including Ciara Miller, West Wilson and their friendship, while calling "the me in all of this" the lowest-priority topic on her list. For now, the question is not whether the two women have reopened contact. They have. The question is whether that 10-year bond can survive one more difficult conversation in a cast that has spent nearly a decade living its arguments on television.
