\n\tBravo<\/a> has launched a full investigation into how audio footage from the Summer House<\/a> <\/em>reunion has leaked online, marking the first reunion leak ever from the hit network.<\/p>\n \n\tThe hit reality series had all eyes on them heading into the taping of the reunion special<\/a> in New York City on Thursday, which was hosted by Bravo host and executive producer Andy Cohen<\/a>. Not long after the taping wrapped, audio footage leaked of the castmembers at the center of the show\u2019s unfolding off-camera scandal<\/a> \u2014 Amanda Batula<\/a>, West Wilson and Ciara Miller<\/a> \u2014 arguing back and forth about the events that led to Batula and Wilson both coming out with their relationship<\/a> as well as defending it, despite Batula being married to castmember Kyle Cooke and Wilson being Batula\u2019s friend Miller\u2019s ex-boyfriend.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThis represents a serious breach of trust and a clear lack of respect for the cast, crew and the integrity of the production process,\u201d a Bravo spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> on Friday morning about the audio, which THR<\/em> won\u2019t publish here. \u201cWe take this matter very seriously and have launched a full investigation and we will take appropriate action based on our findings.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBravo\u2019s reunions are a very closed set, usually comprised of only the cast, production and glam, though the latter are not on the live set or in a distance to hear audio. And companies are able to analyze fairly quickly to know where this leak is coming from.<\/p>\n \n\tThere\u2019s already speculation online that the leak could have come from a castmember, which, if true, would be a major breach of contract and could lead to serious consequences, including being fired.<\/p>\n \n\tCohen also condemned the violation of filming. In response to a comment on Instagram, the Watch What Happens Live<\/a>! <\/em>host, who leads all Bravo reunions, wrote, \u201cPeople laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday and it\u2019s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this. It\u2019s disrespectful to the work and tears the cast put in yesterday. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe currently airing 10th season has been catapulted to the zeitgeist by the scandal, similar to Vanderpump Rules<\/em>\u2018 Scandoval era. When Batula and West confirmed their relationship on March 31 after a month of rumors, Bravo\u2019s cameras were not rolling. The reunion will be the first time the Summer House<\/em> cast can address everything freely and comprehensively. So far, Miller has cheekily nodded at the scandal on social media and in online campaigns, and has given one interview to Galamour<\/em>, where she said called the whole situation a \u201cmajor mindfuck.\u201d <\/a>She was also recently cast<\/a> on the next season of Dancing With the Stars<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tTHR<\/em>\u00a0previously confirmed<\/a> that, unlike the post-Sandoval Vanderpump Rules<\/em> reunion, the Summer House<\/em> reunion will follow Bravo\u2019s typical format of the whole cast being present and seated on two couches to hash out the contents of the current installment. Bravo even shared<\/a> the seating chart ahead of filming to their social channels.<\/p>\n \n\tSummer House<\/em> has four more episodes left before the reunion begins airing on May 26.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
