Ciara Miller is over Amanda Batula.
“I was always a friend to her, and she was never a friend to me,” Miller, 30, said of Batula, 34, in a new Harper’s Bazaar interview published on Wednesday, June 10. “Everyone’s always there for [Amanda]. She never has to be there for anyone. She is always the damsel in distress, always the victim.”
She continued, “In the six years, I don’t think she’s really ever had to be there for me. And not that a friendship is based on reciprocity, but it’s now really clear that there was no type of reciprocity on her side. I tried to hang out outside of filming, check on her, speak life into her.”
Miller went on to say that Batula is often “the victim” and “oblivious” to situations. “I’m not going to go back and rehash the past, but everything now moving forward is on the cutting-room floor,” the nurse explained. “Silence is an option. But I know things. I see things. I’m done protecting people by not saying anything. It’s really like a don’t-f***-with-me era. If you want it, you can get it. Don’t f*** with me.”
As for her ex, West Wilson, who is dating Batula, Miller looks back at season 10 of Summer House with a new perspective.
“I didn’t realize how much he hated me,” she said of Wilson, 31, who said he resented Miller for not supporting him through their past drama. Now, she thinks he may be dating Batula as revenge.
“He got me good,” she said. “He can lie, cheat, cover it up, and do it again.”
“At this point, I already know who he is, so I’m done wasting my breath on him,” the influencer added. “I’m pretty sure I advanced his visibility.”
When Batula and Wilson confirmed their romance via Instagram in March, “it felt like a true break in the friend group.” Miller added, “It was so clear that things would never be the same.”
Miller also got candid about how their romance “hurt [her] feelings.”
“But I can’t even really express why it hurt my feelings, because people think that I’m going to bring up the race card, and everyone’s going to get all freaked out and then immediately not hear what I have to say,” she explained. “It’s unfortunate to have these conversations. It has to be strategic, in a way where people don’t immediately have their walls up and they don’t go into defense mode.”
She added, “I feel that Black women don’t really get the opportunity in the public eye to be loved and to love freely without either harassment or judgment to the nth degree.”
