Bailey Taylor Explodes on Ben Waddell at ‘Summer House' Reunion Over How He Treats Women

It began at the Summer House Season 10 reunion, where Bailey Taylor was asked about her comment at Amanda Batula's birthday dinner-that Ben Waddell wanted to hook up with Amanda-and quickly escalated into a firestorm, with Bailey accusing Ben of "reprimanding" women this season.

Ben had come down hard on Bailey over the remark earlier in the season, a moment that left her in tears. But at the reunion, she revisited it and called him out for what she described as a pattern of behavior. Bailey insisted the comment wasn't rooted in jealousy, but in a misunderstanding of the group dynamic.

What upset her most, she explained, was the possibility that she had made Amanda feel uncomfortable at her birthday dinner. "I thought I was being silly because he was talking about her looks," Bailey said. "I felt like they joked about it," pointing to their shared "skinny dipping" history as evidence, she believed there was already a playful rapport.

When reunion host Andy Cohen relayed a viewer question about Ben's strong reaction, Bailey pushed back after Ben claimed they hadn't really interacted until that moment. She then said, "You like to reprimand women, that is your problem," listing women in the group she felt he had spoken to similarly, and also criticizing how he spoke to his girlfriend, Sabrina Belle.

"And you're full of s-t," Bailey added.

The cast looked on, stunned as Lindsay Hubbard turned to Kyle Cooke and said, "I feel like we've unlocked something."

Bailey made clear she "adores" Sabrina, but added that "she could do better than you. You talk to Sabrina like s-t. Sabrina is exquisite. I watch you talking to her and was like ‘Why does this guy only pop off on women?'"

She also noted that when Ben speaks to Kyle, "it looks like you're going to make out with him no matter how much he's in the wrong." But when it comes to women, it's "reprimand."

Ben said he was already friends with Kyle and Amanda and that he treated her as "one of the guys." Bailey also suggested Ben got "so mad" because he was secretly dating Sabrina the whole time.

While Ben denied this, Bailey pointed to a photo of them kissing that she said was posted in June on their Instagram (though Bravo's producers noted the photo was actually posted in April).

The Summer House Season 10 reunion continues next Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
