A casting shake-up on In the City<\/a> has reawakened the beast known as Scamanda<\/a>. Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, and West Wilson are once again beefing on social media. History doesn\u2019t repeat, but it does rhyme.<\/p>\n Things appeared to kick off with news that Batula would not be returning for season two of In the City. \u201cPage Six<\/a>\u201d broke the story, citing anonymous sources. That same day, West Wilson posted an Instagram carousel<\/a>. Normal, right? He\u2019s posted a lot since the Summer House cheating scandal erupted. Yet this was the time Cooke decided to get salty in the comments. \u201cMore like a coke head that blew my ex\u2019s life and career up,\u201d Cooke wrote; he later deleted the comment. Wilson responded by claiming Cooke called Batula a \u201cdumb ass bitch\u201d during their relationship.<\/p>\n Batula then weighed in, retweeting (and later deleting) a fan\u2019s analysis of the dynamics at play with the bull\u2019s-eye emoji. \u201cKyle realized that when Amanda declined to film the upcoming season of #inthecity that he could no longer control or manipulate her anymore and melted down in West\u2019s IG comments \u2026,\u201d it read. This was essentially confirmation that Batula will not be returning to In the City. <\/p>\n On Thursday, cooler heads appeared to prevail. Cooke posted an Instagram Story<\/a> promising to stay out of from now on. \u201cUltimately, I wanted us to both have the opportunity to share our perspectives on the show,\u201d he wrote. \u201cBut at the end of the day, Amanda has her own life and makes her own decisions, just as I make mine. I\u2019ll leave it there.\u201d<\/p>\n Bravo fan account @yourmomsarewatching posted a DM they claim is from Batula, which says she left the show because of online hate. \u201cThe continued hate from fan accounts and the internet is a huge reason why I decided I wasn\u2019t ready to film again and put myself back out there,\u201d it reads. The same day, she posted an IG carousel of her own<\/a>, captioned, \u201cYall mind if I post?\u201d A comment with 4,000-plus likes reads, \u201cWe\u2019d prefer if you didn\u2019t but when have you ever listened?\u201d<\/p>\n According to \u201cPage Six,\u201d not a whole lot of people are coming back! Danielle Olivera and her boyfriend are reportedly out, as are Andrea Denver and Lexi Sundin. Both just had kids and may need at least one season of parental leave. There are reportedly two new couples joining the show and one single newcomer. Is that Carl Radke<\/a>? Please tell us there will be more Carl this season. The one good thing this whole mess has given us is the rekindled friendship between Carl and Lindsay Hubbard.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
