West Wilson and Amanda Batula have faced a lot of criticism over their emotionless vibes at the Summer House reunion, prompting speculation that they took medication beforehand. In fact, Andy Cohen straight-up asked West “No offense, are you on, like, a bunch of beta blockers or what?” and he admitted “I took a beta blocker.” (FYI, per the Mayo Clinic, beta blockers “lower blood pressure” and “block the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline.”)

However! It looks like that wasn’t the only medication West took ahead of Summer House. During a recent appearance on The Broadcast Boys—who joked about him being the official spokesperson for D.A.R.E—West let it slip “they don’t talk about Xanax in D.A.R.E.” Lucas Brody then responded “Oh so it was Xanax?” and West said “I told you it was a…” before trailing off.

FYI, Ciara previously wrote on Threads “Just a medical note. Beta blockers DON’T remove emotion. They work by blocking adrenaline from binding to beta receptors in your heart, blood vessels, and muscles (the receptors responsible for the physical symptoms of anxiety like increased heart rate, raised blood pressure, and trembling). The EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE remains, but the physical stress response can’t fully activate. It’s like putting your ‘fight or flight’ symptoms on DND…. enough with the beta blocker bullshit.”

She then added, “also anxiety and depression aren’t the only thing in the DSM-5, personality disorders exist there as well.”

Anyway! That’s one mystery solved?
