Summer House star Kyle Cooke is clarifying his cryptic Instagram post that made fans think he quit the Bravo show.
"The show isn't cancelled and this is not me announcing I won't return," insisted the reality star.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that West Wilson, who is now dating Cooke's estranged wife, will not be back for season 11.
Summer should be fun, but instead it's been an emotional rollercoaster for Kyle Cooke.
The Summer House veteran sent fans into a frenzy on Thursday with an Instagram post that read like he was saying goodbye to the Bravo reality series after 10 seasons.

"I'm tearing up as I type this because we truly become a family shooting this show and it was a gut wrenching way to leave this house for good," Cooke captioned a photo carousel featuring him and Summer House producers posing in front of the Hamptons residence featured on the show.
"I think we can finally close this chapter," he continued. "Thank you to the fans for believing in this show and for all of your support over the last decade."
Within minutes, he edited the photo to clarify his cryptic caption.
"The show isn't cancelled and this is not me announcing I won't return," wrote Cooke, who is currently starring in Summer House's spinoff, In the City. "I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!"

Cooke may be back for season 11, but the Summer House cast member accused of betraying him has been evicted. West Wilson will not return to the show, following the shocking revelation that he and Cooke's estranged wife, Amanda Batula, have been in a secret relationship. Further complicating matters, Wilson was in an on-and-off relationship with Summer House's Ciara Miller, one of Batula's closest friends.
The couple's attempt to defend themselves during the show's explosive reunion special was unanimously rejected by both the cast and fans. However, it was behind-the-scenes drama that ultimately led to Wilson's exit.

"His goal was to be with Amanda and then just film with his friends," a source claimed of Wilson, who joined the show in season 8. "There's a tear in the friend group. The cast doesn't want to film with him."
And the majority aren't speaking to Batula either, added the Us Weekly insider who revealed it's "still up in the air if she's going to come back."
