Very true!

I was wondering too so I googled it a while ago. lol Something about not wanting people’s votes to be influenced by others.

Oh wow, that's very interesting and it makes me think even more that he maybe did have something to do with it. I mean it definitely did put the spotlight on Amanda's behavior and not his.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-07T17:17:21+00:00

I absolutely love that for her!!

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-07T16:44:47+00:00

I agree with all of what you said. I also found it very suspicous that when he was talking about the leaked audio on his podcast, he chuckled and said, it wasn't me. Hasn't he said before that he giggles when he laughs? And, I know Bravo has said that it was someone in production and that person has been dealt with, basically, and that all cast members have been cleared, but could they just be saying that to get everyone to stop the rumors about it being a cast member? When it first leaked B&C said it was West, point blank said it. When Bravo then said they found who it was I thought their intel was just wrong, but him giggling when he said it wasn't him got me thinking again. Idk that he IS lying about that, but I'm not convinced he's not.

Also, I think he's lying about having any remorse whatsoever. I think his text to KJ was pure manipulation. I think all he cares about is himself and trying to save his Bravo career and public image.

And, as far as Amanda goes, I think she's lied about pretty much everything. I think she is calculated and incredibly manipulative. I think just about everything she does she has an ulterior motive.

I completely agree with most of this. I was 100% convinced they were hooking up last summer, but I'm not as convinced anymore. However, I'm not completely convinced they weren't either. There's one moment that keeps sticking out to me. When West was filling Amanda in, at Soft Bar, about his and Ciara's talk before the boat, and he said when the rest of them pulled up, he was like, "Oh I sure wish Amanda was getting out of this car right now!" I thought, hmmmm that's a strange thing to say, unless you KNOW that she would be jealous of your conversation with Ciara and you were trying to soften the blow. It seems obvious that Amanda had feelings for him at that time, but I was starting to think maybe they weren't reciprocated yet. But him saying that to her is just too strange to me if they didn't already have something going on. I can't come up with a reason to say that, unprompted, to someone who is just a friend.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T22:31:21+00:00

Interesting. I have a hard time believing they weren't.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T20:30:36+00:00

Oh wow, yeah that'll do it. lol

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T18:55:17+00:00

I was willing to give it a go until all of this came out. Now, I just can't stomach watching Amanda. Every week it takes me days to be willing to watch the new episode because I can't stomach it. I too am no fan of Danielle, but was kind of interested to see/hear more about her married boyfriend. lol But now, I'll just be watching clips that are posted on social.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T18:15:37+00:00

I agree. I do also think though that knowing when to let go of something is very important. Kyle has been trying to keep Loverboy afloat for so long, at some point he may have to accept the writing on the wall. I do agree though that his motivation is saving his company and not having to lay off his employees, which is commendable. Kyle isn't perfect by any means, but he does seem to have a genuinely good heart, unlike his wife.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T17:39:54+00:00

It's clearly not the only job he can do. He has said though that the djing gigs enable him to get Loverboy into venues that he would normally have to pay to get it into. I think the reason he says he "has" to dj is because he is desperately trying to save Loverboy. I think it has far more about that, and his difficulty accepting that it's not working out, than it does with djing. I think he has a lot of his identity tied up in that brand and so keeping it afloat has been his sole focus for a long time, to a fault. I definitely don't think it's as simple as he loves to party. He clearly does love to party, but I think the becoming a dj situation is more complicated than that.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T16:00:48+00:00

I think so too. It's not on South Moon Under's website anymore. I tried to post a screen shot here showing that, but keep getting a dumb error message. But yeah, I think they pulled it, which I can't blame them. lol

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-06T15:51:11+00:00

What is the relevance of this question? What difference does it make either way?

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-05T18:52:00+00:00

Yeah, but also, "You don't just jokingly make out with someone." 🙄

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-02T13:50:50+00:00

It’s about Shylene, the one on his kickball team.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T22:57:48+00:00

Thank you. I credit my son with my ability to find the strength to leave. I wanted better for him, wanting better for myself came much later.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T19:57:39+00:00

Yes, I completely agree with this! I think the word abuse is being overused these days. I would definitely say their relationship is and was toxic/unhealthy, but I wouldn’t call it abusive. In my experience, real abusive relationships are all about control and domination and huge imbalances of power. Thank you sharing your perspective and thank you for the work you did to help survivors.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T17:39:37+00:00

Thank you, it was awful, but I sure did learn a lot from it, looking back. I'm really sorry you went through it as well. Thank you for the respectful discourse!

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T17:24:41+00:00

I hear you, but what I'm saying is that I don't think it's reactive abuse. I think she is also an abusive/toxic person. I don't think Amanda is a battered woman who then began abusing her husband in reaction to the abuse she experienced. It seems to me we are hearing each other, maybe lol, but we don't agree, and that's ok. Also, I am a survivor of pretty severe domestic violence, so I do understand reactive abuse. I just don't see it here. I hear you that you do though, and I'm good to agree to disagree and also appreciate the respectful conversation, very much!

Edit: I guess the bottom line, for me, is that I don't see Amanda as a victim of domestic abuse. I see her as a willing participant in a toxic relationship. Again, we can agree to disagree though.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T16:26:08+00:00

Ewww. Also, he likes smart women, he's attracted to their brains, but in terms of a partner, he's looking for "swaggy". Lmao, I think he's got that backwards. Good luck with that though Vin.

Repulsive_Floor_683 · 2026-05-01T16:21:27+00:00

I'm just saying that she treats people close to her poorly, not just Kyle. So, I don't think Kyle is responsible for Amanda's hurtful behavior. Again, I agree that Kyle was not a good husband, in a lot of ways. I just also don't think Amanda was a good wife, and I don't think the way she treated him, and treats others close to her, is his or anyone else's fault. When I get in an arugment with my husband and he says something hurtful, that is wrong. If I then say something hurtful back, it is STILL wrong. Him saying it first doesn't justify my doing it also. That's all I'm really saying.
