Did Rihanna really unfollow Amanda Batula? Social media users question ‘Summer House’ rumor

Speculation that Rihanna has weighed in on the “Summer House” drama by unfollowing Amanda Batula has sparked confusion and skepticism across social media.

The alleged unfollow quickly circulated after being framed by some outlets as the Bravo superfan signaling she is “Team Ciara” amid the romance bombshell involving Batula and West Wilson. But almost immediately, eagle‑eyed fans began questioning whether the singer had ever followed Batula in the first place.

Critics pointed out that Rihanna’s Instagram following—which includes a small, curated group of Bravo personalities—does not appear to have ever included Batula. Some commenters suggested the rumor may have gained traction around April Fools’ Day, adding to the uncertainty.

The alleged unfollow carries added weight given the history between the two women. In February 2025, Batula revealed on the “Conversations with Cam” podcast that Rihanna had once slid into her DMs with the message, “You’re my fave tbh.” Batula admitted she was so “afraid and depressed” that she ignored the message for an entire year. When she finally replied with an umbrella emoji—a nod to Rihanna’s hit “Umbrella”—she never heard back.

The revelation of that missed connection has made the alleged unfollow—or lack thereof—all the more intriguing for Bravo fans, many of whom remain divided over whether any social media interaction ever occurred.

As the debate continues, representatives for the stars have not commented. Whether Rihanna ever followed Batula, unfollowed her, or simply never engaged with her account at all, the speculation underscores how quickly unverified claims can gain traction in the hyper‑vigilant world of Bravo fandom.
