NEED TO KNOW
- Alana Haim shares why she’s “Team Ciara” when it comes to her Summer House favorites
- The musician appeared as a guest on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, where she weighed in on the Bravo drama
- Reality star Ciara Miller recently found out that her close friend and co-star Amanda Batula is dating her ex West Wilson
Alana Haim is clear on where her loyalty lies.
On the Wednesday, April 1 episode of Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, the 34-year-old musician didn’t hesitate to show her support for a certain Summer House star.
While sitting beside Vanderpump Rules alum Kristen Doute, Cohen, 57, asked Haim about her reaction to the jaw-dropping news that Summer House costars Amanda Batula, 34, and West Wilson, 28, are now dating, despite Batula being close friends with his ex, Ciara Miller, 30.

“I mean, before we even begin, I had to make a shirt before I got here,” the Drama star said as she reached over to an end table next to her and grabbed a T-shirt with bedazzled letters.
Holding up the top, she showed off the blinged out “Team Ciara!” custom garment.
“I'm just going to put it on so you know what it says because I'm very, very passionate about this,” Haim said, slipping it over her dress. “I am Team Ciara! All the way!”
“People on the street are asking me, like, ‘You have to explain this drama,’ And it's like giving me life every day,” she joked.
Cohen, a longtime host and exec at Bravo, where all three aforementioned television shows air, said he had trouble going to dinner the night prior and dropping his son off that morning because reporters were hounding him for answers.
“TMZ was at my son’s school this morning at drop-off,” he claimed of the media spectacle the Summer House situation has snowballed into.
Haim then explained why she feels so strongly about supporting Miller.

“The thing is, we watched Ciara confide in Amanda about West, and we watched them kind of fall in love again this season,” she said. “So, I thought, ‘Oh, they're getting back together, right?’”
“You never betray a girl like that. That's your girl. It's your best friend,” Haim said.
The One Battle After Another star also told Cohen and Doute that she hoped, at the very least, that Batula and Wilson were tactful in the way Miller found out.

“I hope, I hope, I hope, I pray, that they sat her down and told her before the news came out,” Haim said, slyly adding, “And I hope, I hope, I pray, that cameras were up.”
On Tuesday, March 31, Batula and Wilson shared identical statements on their Instagram Stories, addressing their "very new" relationship, claiming that they never meant “to purposely hide anything.”

However, a source told PEOPLE Batula and Wilson "kept this very secretive and were openly lying about it," which, according to the source, "forced everyone else to put it together over the past few days as the rest of the world did the same."
Miller seemingly addressed the drama during a hosting gig for the Apple TV+ season 2 premiere of Your Friends & Neighbors on Monday, March 30, where she uploaded her first Instagram post since news broke, and captioned it, "If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?”
Haim stars in the upcoming film The Drama, which costars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson and hits theaters on Friday, April 3.
