Kyle Cooke critiques West Wilson regarding leaked private photographs

• Kyle Cooke questioned the circumstances surrounding West Wilson’s recent private photo leak.
• West Wilson admitted the photos were his but claimed they were not sexual.
• The controversy comes amid Wilson’s new relationship with Cooke’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula.
  

"Summer House" veteran Kyle Cooke has publicly criticised co-star West Wilson over the recent distribution of the latter's private photographs.

In an interview with journalist Adam Glyn released on Thursday, the 43-year-old entrepreneur expressed scepticism regarding the "leak" of the images.

Mr Cooke suggested that such content does not simply appear online without intention, stating: "I think he said it was leaked, but I’m like, ‘You’d have to leak it.’"

Mr Cooke revealed that he first viewed the photographs the night before filming the highly anticipated Season 10 reunion last month.

He noted that Mr Wilson, 31, appeared to learn about the wider distribution of the images during the recording session itself.

When asked for a comparison, Mr Cooke joked about his own photographic standards, quipping that he would ensure "a little blood flow" before ever taking such a picture, though he added: "to each their own."

Mr Wilson addressed the controversy on Tuesday during his "Show Me Something" podcast, acknowledging that while he has significant personal stresses currently, he would "own" that the photos are indeed of him.

He described the snaps as "not even sexual" and suggested they looked "medical" in nature, explaining they were likely taken to check physical progress after using a sauna.

The tension between the pair is heightened by Mr Wilson’s recent romantic involvement with Mr Cooke’s estranged wife, Amanda Batula.

The cast is set to address these overlapping conflicts when the reunion begins airing later this month.
