We were very fortunate.

Co-stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirmed that they were in a relationship after weeks of denying the rumors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWeinstock acknowledged that the show eventually had to pivot to reflect the new reality of its stars, despite having wrapped filming the summer before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re obviously always looking for the most authentic characters and storytelling, and naturally, as this show pivoted given what was revealed in terms of relationships between people, we had to respond to it,\u201d the EP said. \u201cWe had to capture the backstory and the context of why it happened. It wasn\u2019t black and white. It was very nuanced, and it required a lot of sophisticated storyline on the part of folks at Truly Original as well as the support we got from Bravo in terms of being able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe scandal broke before the\u00a0<em>Summer House<\/em>\u00a0Season 10 reunion was filmed, and there was a lot of tension in the air between some cast members, and Weinstock knew \u201cit was going to be heated and explosive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cWe were anticipating that that is what was going to happen, and sure enough, it did happen and we were thankful that we were able to capture it,\u201d he said. \u201cAndy Cohen was tremendous in terms of giving everybody an opportunity to speak their truth, and we were able to capture it and present it to [the viewers] who were clearly hungering to have some closure and have some questions and answers about motivations of characters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn addition, <em>Summer House<\/em> picked up cameras to film some of the key personalities involved in the scandal, giving them more closure following the reunion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cWe thought the audience would find it compelling and be interested in it,\u201d Weinstock said of the <em>Summer House: Aftermath<\/em> bonus episode. \u201cThe network was behind it and suggested that we do it. It was a great deal of fun putting it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAlthough some of the themes on the show are rough, ultimately the production team is focused on telling great stories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cThe Emmy nomination means a lot to Truly Original, to me\u2026 We look forward to [continue] presenting more compelling stories,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<em>Summer House<\/em> earned its first Emmy as filming for Season 11 prepares to start.
