After a turbulent last few months, West Wilson is leaving Cottage.
Deadline reports that the sports journalist turned reality TV villain will not be returning for season 11 of the Bravo series. Black reports that Wilson’s contract was not renewed. The news likely comes ahead of an impending cast announcement, as filming usually begins around the July 4th weekend.
Wilson, who has vacillated between villain and fan favorite since joining Cottage in Season 8, has been embroiled in a scandal after he reunited with co-star Amanda Batula following her split from co-star Kyle Cooke, who she was married to for four years before they announced their split in January.

The fallout from the drama also affected co-star Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson. In fact, Miller and Wilson seemed to rekindle a relationship of sorts in the latest season of the Hamptons set Cottage.
While Wilson and Batula appear to be together, fans don’t give them much of a chance to end up together. ONE Polymarket the scenario is currently giving them around 50/50 odds to break up before 2027 ends, and general fan consensus online is perhaps even more pessimistic.
Wilson’s reported exit comes a week after the final installment of Cottage Season 10 reunion airedwhere he and Batula faced countless questions from their co-stars about their relationship timeline. The two seemed unapologetic, and Wilson even admitted to taking a beta blocker before filming began, which may have contributed to his and Batula’s stoic performances.

After the reunion, Wilson doubled down, he said on his podcast Show me something that he hoped the New York Knicks would lose Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday night so they would force a Game 6 on Tuesday. That way, fewer people would watch the bonus episode Cottage scheduled for Tuesday evening.
That statement was activated Cottage AND Lindsay Hubbard, who wrote in a series of diatribes about Thread”West Wilson: you’re trash. If you’re trying to get people to not watch OUR show that iiiiii brought YOU forward, you should move immediately.”
In the end, Wilson didn’t get his wish as the Knicks took care of business Saturday and won the championship. It means Cottage: The Aftermath is free to air on Tuesday nights without conflicting with the NBA. It will be Wilson’s last episode.
