Summer House season 9 is already promising major drama and it seems to center on Paige DeSorbo 's recent split from Craig Conover . Bravo dropped a preview for the upcoming season and it includes Paige making serious accusations about her former boyfriend. After what initially seemed like a mature and amicable breakup things are taking a turn.
The preview clip from Summer House season 9 part way through premiere episode showed Paige talking with Amanda Batula and Lindsay Hubbard. This conversation filmed six months after the summer action focused on the end of her three-year relationship with Southern Charm's Craig Conover. And what Paige revealed is quite shocking suggesting their breakup is far from simple.
Did Craig Conover Text Other Women During His Relationship With Paige DeSorbo? Summer House Season 9 Suggests Yes
Paige Accuses Craig Of Betrayal And Texting "Bitches"
In the Summer House season 9 preview Paige is seen telling Amanda and Lindsay about her frustrations regarding the breakup. She brings up rumors of infidelity that surfaced in January after she and Craig confirmed their split in December 2024. Paige expresses feeling betrayed by Craig in the clip.
“I’m like Craig what are you talking about? I feel like you’re so betraying me right now” Paige says to Amanda and Lindsay looking visibly upset. Then she drops the bombshell allegation. Speaking about Craig she claims “I caught you texting two bitches in the course of our relationship.” Amanda and Lindsay react with clear shock to Paige's statement as anyone would.
Paige continues unfazed declaring “Now you’re dead to me” implying any possibility of a friendly post-breakup relationship is completely off the table. This strong reaction signals a significant shift from the initial impression of their split being peaceful and mutual. It suggests that unresolved issues and perhaps hurt feelings are now surfacing publicly in a big way through Summer House season 9.
From Amicable Split To Accusations Paige DeSorbo's Breakup Takes A Turn
Paige Initially Described Breakup As Mature And Mutual
Just two months prior in December 2024 Paige announced the breakup on her "Giggly Squad" podcast. At that time her tone was very different. She presented the split as a mutual and mature decision. “Craig and I have decided to no longer be together” Paige told her podcast listeners. She emphasized positive feelings stating “I love him I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing. I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”
This initial announcement painted a picture of a respectful parting of ways. However the Summer House preview completely contrasts this. Paige's tone has shifted drastically. The "mature" and "mutual" narrative is replaced with accusations of betrayal and infidelity. This raises questions about what happened between December and the filming of this Summer House scene to cause such a dramatic change in Paige's public stance on the breakup.
Team Paige Or Team Craig? Bravo Stars React To Breakup Drama
Co-Stars And Fandom Divide As Breakup Gets Messy
The breakup of Paige and Craig is not just a personal matter it is becoming a Bravo spectacle. As Gibson Johns pointed out it’s a new kind of Bravo breakup because they are stars from different major shows Summer House and Southern Charm. This creates a unique dynamic where co-stars and fans are taking sides.
Austen Kroll Craig's Southern Charm co-star and friend hinted at rumors about Paige dating someone new. This fueled speculation and prompted Paige to publicly deny cheating allegations on her podcast. She clarified the timeline of the split saying they broke up over Thanksgiving weekend in November 2024 and firmly stated she is single and did not cheat on Craig. Craig himself on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen also avoided directly accusing Paige of infidelity saying he didn’t want to be involved in that narrative.
Despite Craig's attempt to stay out of the cheating rumors the casts of both Summer House and Southern Charm are seemingly choosing sides. This division is not unexpected as these casts are like families as Gibson Johns noted. They naturally rally around their own. This creates a "Team Paige" versus "Team Craig" dynamic within the Bravo universe and among viewers adding another layer of complexity to the breakup drama.
Andy Cohen Remains Neutral In Paige And Craig Split
Bravo Host Says No Side To Root For In This Breakup
Interestingly Andy Cohen known for his Bravo hot takes is taking a neutral stance on this breakup. On his Sirius XM show "Andy Cohen Live" Cohen expressed sadness over the split. However he also pointed out that unlike typical breakups where fans pick a side in this case "there’s no side to root for because you rooted for both of them so much.”
Cohen acknowledged Craig's appearance on Watch What Happens Live where Craig credited Paige for helping him become a better person. Cohen highlighted that Craig seemed to have a "glow-up" thanks to Paige and that Craig himself recognized her positive impact on his life. This neutral perspective from Cohen contrasts with the forming "teams" among co-stars and fans. It suggests that while the breakup is messy and dramatic there may not be a clear "villain" or "victim" in this situation but rather two individuals navigating a difficult separation under the Bravo spotlight.
