Kyle Cooke on West Wilson Friendship, Amanda Batula Relationship

“West is smart enough to know who the audience is, and he knows, clearly, what to say to women to win them over,” he told Adam. “Everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god. Look at his redemption arc!’ And he was just piling on strategically, for sure.”

“I don’t need to be kicked by the dude on the show,” he added. “The female audience is going to drag me, as they should. I didn’t need him to pile on like that.”

E! News has reached out to reps for West and has not yet heard back.

The Loverboy founder, 42, also pushed back on West, 31—who had previously dated costar Ciara Miller—speaking about the situation further on Watch What Happens Live.

“I have a real issue with a dude who manages to use his charm, says the right thing at the right time,” Kyle noted. “West kinda positioned himself, very conveniently, to be this knight in shining armor for women—standing up for Amanda, checking me—I watched that, and for him to say what he said in his confessional and double down on Watch What Happens, I was like, something’s up.”
