\u201cHi guys, l\u2019ll keep this short and sweet,\u201d Amanda wrote. \u201cI\u2019ve obviously been MIA, but I wanted to come back on and say that I\u2019m truly sorry to everyone I\u2019ve disappointed and hurt, especially those I know personally who I\u2019ve reached out to individually.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be at the reunion and will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,\u201d read an Instagram statement on March 31. \u201cIt was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda and West further explained how their relationship dynamic changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what\u2019s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,\u201d they continued. \u201cOur connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair faced backlash for their burgeoning relationship due to West previously dating Amanda\u2019s best friend and Summer House costar, Ciara Miller,<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n
