West Wilson used a July 23 Instagram photo dump to map out a busy stretch of his life, and one frame in particular pulled Jesse Solomon back into the conversation. Jesse later said the couch photo was old, dated to earlier this year before their statement.
The post also placed Amanda Batula inside the same timeline. She appeared in the dump, wore the same pale green dress from the Montana wedding, and said at Part 1 of the In The City Season 1 reunion that she is still dating West Wilson.
July 23 on Instagram
July 23 gave West a tidy public record of where he stands: weddings, travel, and a relationship that is still on the table. He said he had been to a lot of weddings, including one in Italy and one in Montana with Amanda Batula, which is enough to turn a casual post into a status update for anyone tracking Summer House and In The City.
The Montana detail is the one that lands hardest. Amanda’s pale green dress appears twice in the story, once in the wedding setting and again in the post, tying the feed to a specific recent event rather than a loose collection of throwback pictures. For a reality-TV audience, that kind of visual continuity usually matters more than captions do.
Jesse Solomon’s response
Jesse Solomon pushed back after the post, saying the photo of him and West on the couch was old from earlier this year before their statement. That comment narrows the frame of the image: it was not a fresh reunion shot, but a recycled moment dropped into a current life update.
That matters because Jesse had already said in May on The Julia Cunningham Show on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, “I just feel lied to, and he's apologized,” then added, “So, just seeing what happens from here, honestly.” He also said on E! News' The Rundown in May, “I checked in with her a few days ago,” and, “I don't think she's doing particularly great.”
Amanda Batula’s line
Amanda kept her own position plain at Part 1 of the In The City Season 1 reunion: “On the flip side, I'm actually getting from him things I felt I was lacking in my relationship with Kyle,” followed by, “Just someone that's been, like, supportive, that I feel like...” That is the clearest public reason the relationship continues to matter in the first place.
The practical reading is simple. West’s July 23 post shows he is still willing to put Amanda and Jesse into the same visual orbit, but Jesse’s response makes clear he does not want the couch photo treated like a new development. For viewers following West Wilson and Jesse Solomon, the point is not the picture itself; it is that the photo has already become a test of timing, memory, and where the friendship actually sits now.
What Jesse was referring to with “before their statement” is the remaining gap. The post tells readers where West is now; Jesse’s comment says the image belongs to an earlier moment, not the one that is playing out in public today.
