Mystery blonde in Kyle Cooke’s cheating video was once part of Amanda’s inner circle – worked with Loverboy, attended events with the couple and allegedly pursued Kyle despite knowing he was married

In a twist that has rocked Bravo fandom and sent shockwaves through Summer House circles, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal the identity of the mystery blonde caught on camera passionately kissing Kyle Cooke in a dimly lit bar in Charleston at 12:47AM — and her ties to the couple go far deeper than anyone expected.

Sources close to the production confirm the woman seen locking lips with Kyle is Mallory Daniels, 29, a New York-based event coordinator who briefly worked with Kyle’s beverage company, Loverboy, during a series of branded pop-ups in 2023.

While Kyle has not publicly addressed the incident — or even confirmed he was at the bar in question — multiple eyewitnesses and a now-viral video circulating on social media appear to show him intimately engaged with Mallory in the corner of Lamar’s bar, just hours before he was scheduled to attend a public event.

“She was all over him,” one source said. “It didn’t look like a drunken mistake — it looked like something that had been brewing.”What has made this scandal particularly explosive is Mallory’s prior working relationship with Kyle — and by extension, Amanda Batula. According to internal communications reviewed by DailyMail.com, Mallory was contracted by Loverboy for a five-week stint in 2023 to coordinate promotional events across the Tri-State area. During that time, she interacted regularly with both Kyle and Amanda, and was photographed at several company-sponsored gatherings.A former colleague, who requested anonymity, described Mallory as “professional but flirty — and very aware of who Kyle was.”

“There were definitely moments where people felt she crossed a line,” the insider continued. “She knew he was married. She worked events with Amanda present. It was obvious she had a crush, but no one thought she’d go this far.”

Compounding the drama is the timing of Amanda’s recent absence from key Summer House press events. Just days after the video leaked, Amanda skipped two scheduled media appearances, and eagle-eyed fans noticed she had quietly removed her wedding ring in several Instagram stories. A separate source close to Amanda says she was “devastated but not shocked” upon learning the woman involved was someone who had once been part of their business.“

This wasn’t just some random bar hookup. This was someone she shook hands with. Someone she invited into their circle,” the source said. “It’s betrayal on more than one level.”As for Kyle, he’s kept conspicuously silent. No statement. No comment. Not even a denial — just deafening silence that has only fueled speculation that the worst may be true.

Meanwhile, Mallory Daniels has gone dark on social media, setting all her accounts to private after fans flooded her Instagram with angry comments and allegations.

Bravo has not released an official statement on the situation, though insiders say production was temporarily halted for several days following the video leak, with some cast members — including Amanda — reportedly refusing to film until they’d had a chance to “process” what had happened.

“This could be the final nail,” a veteran crew member told us. “Amanda’s been loyal through a lot, but this? This hit different. It wasn’t just Kyle being reckless — it was someone from within.”

For now, all eyes remain on Amanda — and whether she will continue to stand beside Kyle or finally walk away for good.

But one thing is certain: the illusion of a solid marriage has shattered under the flickering lights of that Charleston bar — and the truth, recorded grainy and undeniable, is now out for everyone to see.
