West Wilson addressed his exit from Cottage during an interview with Lucas Brody Wednesday, also discuss his first kiss and sexual experience with Amanda Batula.
At the same time as he revealed that he ended his former romance with Ciara Miller30, to be with Meija Moreno27, responded to the idea that Amanda, 34, was on drugs season 10 reunionand confirms he met Amanda’s parents, West, 31, discussed his series departure and explained what initially attracted him to Amanda.
“I would say it firsthand. But it’s true. But in their defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer,” West noted during the June 24 interview with Lucas.
After noting that he loved Amanda as a friend for “a long time,” West admitted that he was the one who made the “first comment” about his attraction to her.
“(But) it wasn’t like stalking. Think about the whole summer — (I) had her back a lot of times, she’s had my back a lot of times. We’ve been close. We’ve hung out several times without fornication for years. Sometimes things happen and it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing, but it happens,” he explained.
According to West, Amanda is happily watching her split from Kyle Cooke43, piqued his interest.
“We hung out a lot and ran around New York. I saw her unhappy for so damn long. Hanging out with her and seeing her smile and have fun … it meant a lot to me and it probably set off some f*ck butterflies and then I brought it up one day. I probably shouldn’t have. But damn I did,” he shared.
As for their first kiss, West revealed that it happened in “late February” at a bar.
“(But it was) not, like, a big thing, it was like quick,” he revealed, adding that there were tongues and that he was “probably” the one who made the first move.
“I also saw another,” he continued, apparently referring to his relationship with Meija.
As for when they first had sex, West shared, “We f*ck after the statement, but we had been sleeping around for a long time. This is my bullsh*t thing, is that I still did the wrong thing, but I was like, ‘Oh, if I’m not D in V, I’m not committing a crime,’ which is wrong.”
It was also wrong for Meija to think he was faithful to her, which he admitted was “unfair and bullshit.”
“I’m kind of done trying to navigate that part of it. Like, I f*cked her, worried about her, s*tty, brought her into this whole fucking mess that’s 900 times bigger than anything before,” he declared. “The projection of what our relationship was, we were on the same page. It was the actual intimacy of what our relationship was that I kind of threw a scary curveball.”
“There’s not much to it other than I wanted my cake and ate it too,” he added. “(I’m) super sorry for how the hell I handled it.”
West then remembered leaving Ciara for Meija.
“I liked Ciara. That’s why I ended it. I ended it for Meija. At the time it was Meija,” he explained.
Also by Ciara, he responded to his flirtatious comment on one of her earlier posts.
“I was trying to be normal … I was drunk. She looked hot,” he reasoned.
Moving on to the reunion, West was asked if Amanda was on drugs.
“She used to medicate,” he clarified.
He also spoke about meeting Amanda’s parents, saying it was “good” and “lovely”.
West later expressed hope to reconcile with his Cottage co-players.
“I don’t think my relationship with everyone on this board is going to be repaired, but I see the light with a lot of people,” he said. “All you can do in those kinds of situations is try to learn from the mistakes you made and figure things out.”
Cottage season 11 will go into production next month.
