Fans already knew “Southern Charm” cameras picked back up following Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s split thanks to the midseason trailer. But when the “Summer House” trailer aired after the season 9 premiere, most were shocked to hear DeSorbo claim she caught him texting two girls during the course of their three-year relationship. Now the revelation has not only the casts of their respective shows taking sides, but Bravo fans as well.
Cameras Go Back Up & Paige DeSorbo Drops a Bombshell
“Summer House” cameras picked back up just days after DeSorbo announced their split on her “Giggly Squad” podcast. During a conversation with co-stars Amanda Batula and Lindsay Hubbard, DeSorbo made the shocking revelation.
“You’re going to let people say that I’m a cheater. I caught you texting two (expletive) in our relationship,” she told Batula and Hubbard.
DeSorbo’s bombshell comes after she was accused of cheating—allegations she denies—after she was spotted getting cozy with Joe D’Amelio so soon after she announced their breakup.
She also said she contacted Conover, hoping he would squash the rumors, but he chose to remain silent.
Fans immediately took to social media and started taking sides.
One fan questioned, “IMO….Paige begging the producers to film her as the victim in the relationship….if Craig was texting other women why did she continue the relationship? Why didn’t she leave him?”
“How do we know Paige wasn’t doing the same? Let’s check Paige’s text timeline. Because she was hooking up with a guy all over town a nano second after she broke up with Craig on Face Time,” another shared.
A third took DeSorbo’s side referring to Conover’s complicated history with the truth.
“To ALLLLLLL the people who were coming for Paige saying she cheated on Craig… You still on Craig’s team? You still think Pinocchio Conover was faithful? Does it feel good to have egg on your faces?”
Craig Conover Responds to DeSorbo’s Shocking Claims
Following DeSorbo’s texting accusations, Conover sat down on the Tamron Hall Show and gave his side of the story.
“I never cheated,” the 36-year-old said. “And I think the best thing you can have in a relationship is that security. Not worrying what your partner’s doing. So, no I wasn’t. But you can’t control people.”
“Shep [Rose], my costar on “Southern Charm” was like, ‘That’s the most frustrating thing about you,’” he continued, “‘is how loyal you are.”
Conover went on to call the new scene “disappointing” and “retaliatory” before adding that he has no hard feelings for the fashion influencer despite their split turning a bit messy.
“At the end of the day, she fell out of love, and I wasn’t the right person for her,” he shared. “And that is okay. If someone’s not ready for you, you only live once, like go find your person.”
