West Wilson is leaving Summer House after three seasons on the Bravo reality series.
The sports journalist and reality TV personality is not returning to the docuseries, a source close to production confirmed to Deadline. The series usually starts filming around the 4th of July weekend.
Wilson has been embroiled in a scandal after he hooked up with co-star Amanda Batula following her separation from fellow cast member Kyle Cooke. The drama around this new relationship also affected co-star Ciara Miller, who Wilson dated in the past.
Miller and Wilson were being flirty on the latest season of Summer House and were working on reconstructing their friendship after they stopped dating.
The fallout from Miller being betrayed by her ex-boyfriend, Wilson, and her best friend, Batula, has been brutal. Wilson has seemingly had difficulty with the discourse surrounding his betrayal. The Summer House star recently advocated on his podcast, Show Me Something, for the Knicks to lose Game 5 of the NBA championship to force a Game 6, which would then air on Tuesday night. That same night, Bravo is airing Summer House: The Aftermath, a bonus episode in which the affected cast members have deep conversations about their lives following the scandal. Wilson thought that with people focused on the basketball game, fewer would tune in to the Bravo reality series.
Wilson joined Summer House in Season 8 and quickly became a fan favorite for his fun vibes and easygoing personality. The aura Wilson brought to the house perfectly aligned with the show’s premise, a group of young adults partying in the Hamptons every weekend for the summer.
It was his personality that attracted Miller to Wilson, and they both quickly became a thing with fans shipping their relationship. Their relationship didn’t blossom into something more, but a New York Times article revealed cracks in Wilson’s carefully curated persona up to that point. Wilson was unfiltered in that interview, revealing why his relationship with Miller didn’t progress, something he had shied away from saying on the show. When Miller took him to task on the next season of the reality series, Wilson completely shut off and did not defend himself or address his co-star in a proper manner.
The relationship between Miller and Wilson grew awkward, and viewers could see the coldness throughout the summer. In Season 10, Miller started warming up to Wilson again; their friendship began to blossom, and their flirtatious interactions began. The season ended with Miller and Wilson sharing kisses by the pool. Miller and Wilson would go on to make an appearance together on the In the City spinoff in a scene with Batula.
However, in 2026, there were rumors that Wilson and Batula had hooked up, and although the pair initially denied it and tried to downplay it, they came clean and admitted to their relationship. This shook the Bravoverse to its core, and it has never been the same since. The Summer House Season 10 reunion left many unanswered questions about when their relationship actually started and if there was any overlap with Wilson being flirty with Miller and getting close to Batula. Either way, Wilson once again was relatively silent throughout the three-part reunion and allowed Batula to fend for their relationship alone.

What a crazy sports weekend that was — the NBA Finals concluded Saturday night, the World Cup kicked into high gear and the UFC staged fights last night on the White House lawn. Be sure to check the NBC News website for coverage of all those events.
Today, we have another great World Cup slate, headlined by the Iran-New Zealand game tonight in Southern California, which comes one day after the U.S. reached a framework of a peace deal with Iran to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. We’ll be live-blogging the games all day. Stuck at work? We’ll keep you posted on what’s happening.
World Cup Preview
After a highly fraught buildup, Iran starts its tournament tonight against New Zealand. Iran’s training camp was relocated from the U.S. after the war began and some members of their entourage have reportedly been denied visas.
Playing 85th-ranked New Zealand in Inglewood this evening, Iran will at least be buoyed by a fanatical local support base. New Zealand enters the tournament having lost friendlies against England, Chile and Haiti, 4-0. New Zealand will be relying on striker Chris Wood, who plays for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, for goals.
This afternoon, Mohamed Salah and Egypt will take on Belgium, shorn of their “Golden Generation” tag but still boasting Kevin de Bruyne, Salah’s onetime Premier League rival. Egypt has never won a World Cup match, whereas Belgium finished third as recently as 2018.
Although Belgium failed to advance beyond the group stage in 2022 in Qatar, an early exit this time looks unlikely: Frenchman Rudi Garcia takes his side into the tournament in fine form, having topped their qualifying group undefeated. They’ve beaten the U.S., Croatia and Tunisia, in pre-tournament friendlies, as well as drawing with Mexico.
In the first game of the day, one of the pre-tournament favorites takes on one of the biggest underdogs — Spain faces Cape Verde in Atlanta in Group H. This will be 18-year-old Lamine Yamal’s first World Cup appearance for Spain. He’s widely considered the favorite to take the mantle from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Cape Verde, ranked 67th in FIFA’s men’s world rankings to Spain’s 2nd, will be pinning their hopes on Yamal not making the starting lineup: although he has been cleared to play after missing the final weeks of the season for Barcelona due to injury, reports suggest he is unlikely to start.
Spain’s recent record in the tournament is also miserable. It has failed to advance past the Round of 16 since it won the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Trying to stop Spain’s attack will be Cape Verde’s Dublin-born defender, Roberto “Pico” Lopes, who was recruited to the team via LinkedIn.

Men in Blazers
What an absolutely massive first weekend of the World Cup. Brazil looked surprisingly human against impressive Morocco, Japan stunned the mighty Netherlands with one of the first proper shocks of the tournament (along with the Socceroos taking down Turkey, of course), and Scotland’s Super John McGinn unleashed a deflected strike with the fury of 1,000 bagpipes to seal his side’s first win at the competition since 1990.
Did we mention last night’s 90th-minute winner from Ivory Coast’s Amad Diallo? Because somehow, that might’ve been the best finish of them all. Four days and 12 games down. 35 days, 92 games, and infinite moments of 🤯 left to go.
Today, we get four more matches to savor, including tournament favorites Spain taking on Cape Verde — the second-smallest country to ever qualify for the competition — at noon ET in Atlanta. Then, the final remnants of Belgium’s golden generation face Mohammed Salah’s Egypt at 3 p.m. ET in Seattle. For the full match schedule, head here.

The Knicks have returned to New York from San Antonio, where their Game 5 victory on Saturday won them their first NBA Championship in 53 years.
“I don’t think it’s sunk in yet,” said Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, one of the starting five stars of the team — along with Karl Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart — who joined “Good Morning America” on Monday morning.
Brunson said he placed a towel over his head after the winning moment to let it all out because he knew “that face was probably going to look crazy on TV.”
“It was honestly, like a lifetime — that’s what it felt like,” he said of the buildup to the winning moment. “The best part about it is knowing that these guys had my back night in and night out — made that moment ten times more special.”
Towns said the win shared with dozens of former Knicks and NBA legends, was “a culmination of work coming together at the right moment, at the right time.”
“Not only the alumni but [for] the fans, this was healing,” Towns said of the 27-year gap since the last Finals run in 1999. “This is really a once-in-a-lifetime event, you’re watching in New York sports history.”
“You’re talking about a whole generation that’s passed being told about the stories of how great the Knicks are, but not actually seeing that trophy be raised,” Towns continued. “You get to see history show itself and be able to see it with your own eyes that the Knicks are, again, world champions.”
Towns said Knicks head coach Mike Brown, in his first season with the franchise, has “been great” at bringing the veteran team together and trusting their experience and understanding their “intellectual capital.”
“What he’s been awesome at doing too is listening to us and just hearing us out and adjusting the game plan as needed,” Towns said. “After Game 3, his ability to adjust our team offensively and defensively to bring out the best of us, speaks volumes to him as a coach working on the fly and also just hearing his players out.”
Rick Brunson, an assistant coach for the Knicks and the father of the star point guard, played for eight NBA teams, including the Knicks, but never won the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
“It’s really special to be able to — share that moment with him,” Jalen Brunson told “GMA,” adding that “him being a journeyman in the NBA, I never really got to be around him consistently,” so the last four years has been the most consistent “I’ve been able to be around my dad — made the moment 10 times more special.”
Anunoby had a career-defining tip-in off a missed shot from Brunson to win Game 4 107-106 in the last seconds, which Brown called the most iconic shot in the history of New York basketball, but the star forward said he couldn’t be too excited or dwell on it because he “had to prepare” for the next game.
“I was trying to dunk it — but couldn’t,” Anunoby said, “so I just tried to, you know, touch it and make the shot.”
Towns was raised in New Jersey by his father, Karl Sr., and mother, Jackie, who died from complications with COVID-19 in 2020, and said her love has stayed with him on and off the court.
“To be raised by a strong woman is such an honor. And to understand the value of women in my life and in the world — comes from her,” he said. “Her impact in my life — can’t be outmatched and her ability to show me the word love at its purest sense is the most important thing I’ve ever seen.”
Towns hailed another important woman, his fiancee Jordyn Woods, who went viral for a good-luck inducing clutch.
“That bag is undoubtedly, probably one of the greatest articles of clothing that New York has ever seen,” Towns said. “It’s had a run for sure, undefeated in the playoffs — New York has a lot to thank her for.”

The Brendan Sorsby saga has taken another dramatic turn. According to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, the Big 12 filed a 47-page complaint Monday against Texas Tech, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and multiple university officials, all in an effort to preserve the conference’s authority to sanction member institutions.
The filing was submitted in the Northern District of Texas. It seeks declaratory judgment and a preliminary injunction that would allow the Big 12 to enforce its bylaws regarding Texas Tech’s intention to play the quarterback during the 2026 season.

Notably, the conference is not seeking financial damages and is not attempting to overturn the Texas court ruling that granted Sorsby eligibility. Instead, the Big 12 is asking a federal judge to allow the league to discipline Texas Tech without interference from Paxton’s office.
According to Dellenger, the lawsuit was triggered in part by a letter sent by Paxton last week. The attorney general warned the conference that sanctions against Texas Tech could constitute antitrust violations and threatened potential legal action.
The complaint also revealed that Big 12 officials, presidents and athletic directors have urged Texas Tech not to play Sorsby, though the school has reportedly refused.
“If a vote were to occur however,” the filing states, via Dellenger, “some of the potential sanctions the Board could consider under the bylaws include monetary sanctions and/or a ban on competing in the Big 12 Championship Game.”
Conference leaders were scheduled to meet Monday afternoon. However, a decision on sanctions is still not expected immediately.
“There is considerable concern” that allowing Sorsby to compete could create “reputational harm and irreparable damage to public and member trust in the integrity of league competitions,” according to the filing.
“In an industry that rarely agrees on anything, there is finally an issue that everyone seems to agree on (other than TTU and the Attorney General): universities should not field players who have bet on their own team’s games in college athletics,” the complaint states.
Moreover, Sorsby was ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA after admitting to wagering on Indiana football games during his time with the Hoosiers. Court documents indicate he made roughly $90,000 in impermissible wagers throughout his college career and even continued betting after transferring to Texas Tech.
After the NCAA launched its investigation, Sorsby entered treatment for gambling addiction and anxiety. A Texas judge later granted him an injunction allowing him to compete during the 2026 season.
The Big 12’s complaint lists Texas Tech, the Texas Tech University System, Chancellor Brandon Creighton, President Lawrence Schovanec, athletic director Kirby Hocutt and Paxton as defendants.
“The threat that gambling poses to the integrity of athletic competition has been understood, and has been borne out by scandal, for over a century,” the complaint reads. “That history informs the Conference’s values and governance practices and explains why these values are non-negotiable.”
With the NCAA appeal still pending and the Big 12 now taking legal action against one of its own members, the Sorsby case continues to reshape the landscape of college athletics. Time will tell what the endgame is, but it doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.

Fox Corp. is buying streaming giant Roku in a blockbuster deal valued at roughly $22 billion — creating a media powerhouse that the companies say will become the third-largest player in US television by share of viewing.
The acquisition, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, brings together Fox’s portfolio of live sports, news and entertainment programming with Roku’s streaming platform and connected-TV operating system, which reaches more than 100 million households worldwide.
Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch touted the merger as a transformational move as competition for streaming audiences intensifies.
The deal combines “the most valuable live content portfolio in video consumption with the preeminent streaming platform,” Murdoch told investors on a conference call on Monday.
Fox Corp is sister company to The Post’s corporate parent News Corp.
