Fans (including celebs like Rihanna, who unfollowed Batula on Instagram) have rallied around Miller, similar to the public support Madix received in light of her split from Sandoval. Both leveraged their heartache for gigs on Dancing With the Stars and in the Love Island universe, as well as a joint Sonic commercial. The hotly anticipated Summer House finale introduces spin-off show In the City, and kicks off a three-part reunion. Ahead, a guide to all of the key points in Scandoval versus Summer House.

The Incident
Vanderpump Rules: Starting in summer 2022, Sandoval and Leviss engaged in a secret months-long affair while he was in a nearly decade-long relationship with girlfriend and Vanderpump Rules costar Ariana Madix. Leviss was previously engaged to fellow cast member James Kennedy, who sought Sandoval’s help in planning his proposal during season nine.
Summer House: Wilson and Batula began covertly dating behind the backs of both Batula’s ex-husband Kyle Cooke and Wilson’s ex-girlfriend Ciara Miller, whom Wilson is shown kissing in the season 10 finale. Earlier in the season, Batula told another cast member that she “would cut West off in one second” if Miller asked her to.
The Evidence
Vanderpump Rules: Sightings of Sandoval and Leviss at West Hollywood hot spots like The Abbey, photos of them wearing matching lightning-bolt necklaces, and a trail of clues on Vanderpump Rules season 10, which concluded with the explosive aftermath of Madix finding sexually explicit confirmation of the affair on Sandoval’s phone in early March.
Summer House: On March 5, nearly three years to the day after Scandoval, celebrity gossip site Deuxmoi published a post with tips alleging that Batula and Wilson were “openly flirty” and “holding hands under the table” with Batula’s ex-husband, Cooke, nearby. Some noticed that Batula was seen wearing a gray, star-emblazoned hoodie in late March that appeared to be the same sweatshirt Wilson sported last November. Carl Radke, who officiated Cooke and Batula’s wedding, said he and other costars had suspicions when the Summer House cast filmed an episode of Hot Ones in the spring of 2026, noting that Batula’s “energy was off.”
