If one person isn’t upset that BravoCon has been pushed to 2025, it’s Summer House‘s homebody queen, Amanda Batula. Shortly after Bravo announced the news, the longtime reality star stopped by DECIDER’s offices, where she admitted to feeling “relieved” that the network opted to skip over a 2024 convention.

Earlier today, it was revealed that BravoCon would be coming back to Las Vegas — but not until November 2025, which would mark two years since the last event. While the decision not to have BravoCon this year has garnered mixed reactions from Bravoholics, Batula is siding with those who need a breather.

“On a personal level, I am — I would say, relieved,” she told DECIDER earlier today. “BravoCon, it’s just nonstop and it’s so much fun but I am such an introvert that it drains me after. I’m like shut down for weeks at a time.”

She added, “But it’s such a fun opportunity to meet everyone, including other talent and the fans. So I’m relieved but overall it’s a bummer. But it’s not canceled so we just get a little bit of a hiatus. We gotta get our energy back up.”

Batula has had her fair share of iconic BravoCon moments — like the time Real Housewives of Potomac star Gizelle Bryant called her out for going barefoot in the bathroom at BravoCon 2022, which took place in New York City.

The two women were forced to squash their beef the following year at The Bravos when a shoeless Batula joined Bryant and her RHOP co-star Robyn Dixon on the stage, per BravoTV.

“You’re proud of walking into a public restroom with bare feet? Do you know how gross and disgusting that is? I don’t walk barefoot in my own home,” Dixon said, to which Batula replied, “I am a child of nature. I walk outside barefoot.”

After going back and forth for a bit, Batula concluded, “I am not mad. I’m OK. My mom thinks it’s gross, too. I just don’t care.”

We can’t wait to see what kind of antics Batula will bring to BravoCon in 2025!
