Another one bites the dust. As Fourth of July weekend approaches, so does Summer House Season 11, and with that comes news of its imminent cast shakeup. The latest casualty is Ben Waddell. He won’t be returning to Summer House for Season 11, and neither is his girlfriend, Sabrina Belle. Find out what he had to say about his one-and-done time on Summer House.
Ben Waddell’s Summer House cast exit
Deadline was the first to report on Ben’s departure, which arrived right on the heels of the unsurprising news that Amanda Batula would be exiting. Her controversial boy toy, West Wilson, also got his pink slip earlier this month.
Amanda and West’s exits were expected because of the wave of drama they created with their ill-timed romance. Ben’s exit, on the other hand, feels a little more surprising.
The Australia-born Bachelor alum had a relatively drama-free Season 10, spending most of his time focused on his love life. He introduced Sabrina halfway through the season, telling his castmates he was “falling in love” with her. Now it looks like they’ll have the freedom to nurture that relationship off-camera. Their time on Bravo is over, but in a joint statement, they made it clear there are no hard feelings.
“Ben and Sabrina had the greatest time last summer. There’s so much love that exists between the friend group and the entire Bravo family,” his team said in a statement. “As for the future, time will tell. They’re looking forward to what’s ahead.”
Just like previous seasons, Summer House Season 11 is expected to kick off filming during Fourth of July weekend — which, check your calendar, is literally just days away. That means we’re getting closer and closer to finding out if there are any other casualties in this shakeup. Ben, Sabrina, Amanda, and West are all out. Who’s next?
Summer House is streaming on Peacock.
