Ariana Madix has opened up about whether she has been offering guidance to Ciara Miller as the Summer House cast navigates ongoing drama involving West Wilson and Amanda Batula.

Drawing from her own experience, Ariana referenced her highly publicised breakup with ex Tom Sandoval in 2023, which unfolded on Vanderpump Rules and became known as “Scandoval.”

“I think there’s some similarities. I think there’s a lot of differences as well, obviously,” Ariana told Andy Cohen, 57, reflecting on Ciara’s situation compared to her own.

When directly asked whether she had given Ciara any advice, Ariana was clear that she did not feel it was necessary.

“Honestly, I feel like she doesn’t need my advice,” she said.

The current Summer House storyline has been dominated by tensions after West Wilson and Amanda Batula went public with their relationship in March, despite West previously dating Ciara. Amanda’s split from husband Kyle Cooke earlier this year added further complexity to the situation.

Ciara has previously spoken about the emotional toll of the situation, describing how difficult it has been to process the drama publicly while filming the show.

Despite the turmoil, Ciara has also begun expanding her career beyond reality TV, with upcoming appearances on Dancing With the Stars and a co-hosting role on Love Island USA: Aftersun, where Ariana hosts the main show.

Ariana has previously praised Ciara’s resilience and professionalism, saying she sees her as a rising force in entertainment and someone who is “poised to take over the world.”
