Ciara Miller‘s not letting Amanda Batula and West Wilson‘s controversial romance get her down … she’s putting on a brave face and heading back into the world.

The “Summer House” star stepped out in New York City with a pal Friday afternoon … keeping it comfy in a white sweatshirt and blue sweatpants. She’s even got a grin on her face as she appears to be doing some stretching — bringing her arms out wide as she wanders down the street.

Her male companion has quite the pointed shirt on — the red garment is emblazoned with the quote … “How we love is who we are.”

Of course, it’s been a week full of shocking revelations for “Summer House” fans … beginning when Amanda Batula and West Wilson — Ciara’s ex — admitted they were involved romantically.

Sources then told us the announcement didn’t come as a shock to Ciara … because she actually learned the two were hooking up when she saw a video of them engaged in an intimate act.

Ciara will get a chance to confront Amanda on TV, we’ve learned … because our sources say Amanda isn’t skipping the “Summer House” reunion — she’s ready to take it on the chin.
