Paige DeSorbo’s “Summer House” co-stars came to her defense two months after her breakup with Craig Conover—and just after a bombshell aired on the season 10 premiere of their Bravo reality show.
The “Summer House” season 10 premiere ended with DeSorbo alleging that she caught her ex texting two other women during the course of their three-year relationship. Co-stars Lindsay Hubbard and Amanda Batula appeared shocked in the pickup scene that was shot after DeSorbo and Conover’s split.
During a joint appearance on “Watch What Happens Live” on February 12, Hubbard and Ciara Miller spoke out about the situation.

GettyFollowing the breakup, DeSorbo was hit with rumors that she cheated on Conover.
On February 6, Conover appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” and told host Andy Cohen that he didn’t want to be “involved” in commenting on the rumors. “I got broken up with,” the “Southern Charm” veteran said. “I’m the ex-boyfriend, moving on with my life. I’m not going to get sucked into the mud with them. Her cast … like, commenting on how I am grieving and that I’m sorry that I’m not reading Reddit everyday, getting on there and defending her. Like, I never said you cheated, so I’m not a part of this.”
On WWHL, Miller was asked if she thought Conover should have defended DeSorbo against rumors that she cheated on him during their relationship. “I honestly think that it would have been nice, just given like the past three years, I feel like Paige has been so generous and kind of cleaning up things and not letting things come to air,” Miller replied. “And I think like this one time that Paige kind of needed him to say something and he didn’t. And Paige didn’t cheat on Craig, and he knows that.”
Miller accused Conover of playing into Bravo fans’ habit of running wild with rumors. “He knows what he’s doing,” she said.
“I do think he’s like milking it,” Hubbard chimed in. “He’s milking it, like he came on here and he was like ‘I’m the ex-boyfriend, I’m the ex-boyfriend, like I this is now the role. I’m the scorned ex-boyfriend and here’s the role I’m going to play.’”
As of this writing, Conover has not commented on the “Summer House” cast members’ latest remarks about his split from DeSorbo.

During his WWHL appearance, Conover claimed that DeSorbo no longer wanted the same things that he did, presumably marriage and kids.
DeSorbo spoke in an interview with Elle and noted, “There’s this thing where women aren’t allowed to change their mind. And I feel that with the kid thing a lot. People being like, ‘You said you wanted to get married, and you wanted to have a baby [young].’ And I’m like, ‘OK, well, I also used to go in a tanning bed.”
When asked what she’s looking for in her next relationship, DeSorbo cracked, “Nothing. I want nothing from them.”
But Miller and Hubbard had other ideas for their friend.
“She’s so eligible,” Miller said of DeSorbo on WWHL. “I definitely want to see her with someone who is like a 180 from Craig. Probably someone who is like a little more self-aware.”
“Like someone with a bunch of money and lives in New York,” Hubbard added.
“Someone who lives in New York and, like, jetset,” Miller agreed. “Like, yeah, not as soft.”
