According to the source, Amanda quietly arranged a private meeting with Bravo executives in late March — nearly a month before the Charleston bar video showing Kyle passionately kissing Mallory began circulating on social media. During that meeting, Amanda made it clear: she no longer wanted to appear on the show. The decision, at the time, had nothing to do with scandal. It stemmed from deep emotional fatigue after years of filming while having to maintain the façade of a "stable marriage" that had already begun to fracture behind the scenes.
The source confirmed Amanda had “fulfilled her obligations,” but her heart “was no longer in it.” The pressure from fans, from social media, and from her own brand — Loverboy, the business she built with Kyle — which had increasingly become tethered to their image as Bravo’s “golden couple,” left Amanda feeling like she was living a life scripted for ratings, not reality.
Bravo reportedly tried to convince her to stay for at least one more season. They offered storyline changes, promised to protect her personal image, and suggested a new arc focused on Amanda’s personal growth and independence. But before anything could be finalized or agreed upon, the Charleston video detonated like a bomb — and this time, Amanda didn’t need to say a word. Her actions spoke louder than any press statement: she pulled out of her scheduled press appearances, skipped two major Summer House events, and quietly removed her wedding ring in recent Instagram Stories.
Mallory Daniels — the woman caught on camera kissing Kyle — wasn’t some random stranger. She had previously worked with Loverboy, attended Amanda’s events, and had even been photographed with the couple. Amanda had shaken her hand, welcomed her into their circle. This wasn’t just infidelity. It was betrayal on a deeply personal level — by both a husband and a woman she once trusted.
A close friend of Amanda’s told DailyMail that Amanda had “sensed something was off for a while,” but the video was still a brutal blow. She had forgiven Kyle in the past — that much had played out on camera. But this? This was different. This was public, humiliating, and it struck from within.
Now, the question isn’t if Amanda will leave Summer House — it’s when she’ll make it official. Bravo faces a complicated dilemma. If Amanda exits, the show loses one of its emotional anchors, a cast member whose evolution has driven much of the series’ heart. If they try to hold on to her through a brand-driven “reconciliation” storyline, the fan backlash could be explosive. Online forums are already calling for a Loverboy boycott. Viewers who once rooted for Amanda and Kyle have turned, branding their romance “a long-running PR campaign.”
At the moment, Amanda remains silent. Kyle has issued no statement. Mallory Daniels has gone dark on social media. But one truth remains smoldering beneath the fallout: the girl who always smiled, who always tried to keep her family together, has finally chosen to walk away. Not because she’s weak — but because she’s endured enough. And this time, even Bravo may no longer have the right words to make her stay.
