As a reminder, in Season 10 of "Summer House," Amanda suggested that Ben wanted to have sex with her while she was still married to Kyle Cooke. This allegedly occurred at a wedding abroad, which they all attended, and where Amanda and Ben went skinny-dipping together.
«"Ben and I met at my best friend's wedding in Italy while skinny-dipping," Amanda said, introducing him on the show. "We really got to know each other in that moment, completely naked." She then claimed Ben discussed sleeping with her in a group chat—an accusation he denied.
As mentioned, the question of whether Amanda and Ben were in a relationship—or even wanted one—became a source of contention in the Hamptons, especially when Bailey Taylor brought up the topic one night over dinner, prompting a heated reaction from Ben.
Now, weeks after those episodes aired and ahead of the second part of the reunion, Ben has taken to social media to say that Amanda has backtracked on her version of events.
«"There was no group texting. It's completely false," Ben said of Amanda's claim from the Threads of Amanda blog. "At the meeting, she retracted her statement and said she 'exaggerated' the story.".
«"I hope this clears things up," he continued.
«"Oooh, I hope they show this at the class reunion," wrote one fan. "I didn't believe her for a second," added another.
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and is available to watch the following day on Peacock.
