Paige DeSorbo didn’t mince words when confronting Kyle Cooke about his rage texts on the latest Summer House episode.
During the Wednesday, March 5, episode of the Bravo series, Paige, 32, called out Kyle, 42, for “rage texting” her earlier in the week about then-boyfriend Craig Conover and BFF Hannah Berner. (Paige and Craig, 36, called it quits in November 2024 after three years together.)
“I don’t even care about the Hannah stuff. What I’m saying is, history’s repeating itself again,” Paige claimed, referring to Kyle and Hannah’s falling out during season 5 of Summer House, which led to Hannah and Kyle’s wife, Amanda Batula, no longer being friends.
Paige alleged at a group dinner that Kyle coming for Craig over the Southern Charm star investing in a rival drink company felt too familiar. “It’s just a new player and now it’s Craig. And now you two aren’t going to be friends,” Paige argued. “Then it’s again me and Amanda there to pick up the pieces.”
The fashion correspondent then vowed, “I’ll be damned if I let what happened to Hannah and Amanda happen to me and Amanda.”
Kyle claimed that he was upset because Hannah, 33, had recently accused him of getting her fired from Summer House during a podcast appearance in summer 2024. He alleged that her remarks were tainting his image and his business. (Paige, meanwhile, hadn’t made any comments about the allegations.)
He further alleged that Craig was spreading “lies” about Kyle giving Craig a chance to “counter” his Spritz Society investment with an opportunity to work with Kyle’s company, Loverboy.
“If he presented it the way he described that would be one thing. He’s a f—ing liar,” Kyle said. “I’m happy to talk to Craig. I thought we were closer than this.” Paige fired back, “I thought we were closer than you just texting me just berating my boyfriend and my best friend.”
As Paige went to leave the table, she told Kyle that it was like déjà vu now that she was in the middle of him and Craig. (She has remained friends with both Amanda, 33, and Hannah since their fallout.)
“We’re fighting because Craig did something with another drink company,” she yelled, mumbling under her breath, “F— you dude, your ego’s out of control.”
Kyle told the rest of the group that he texted Paige to ask her, “Do you believe this too?” about how Hannah left the series, noting, “I feel like she’s being two faced.”
When Paige heard Kyle call her two faced, she went off. “I’m actually an adult. I was able to maintain a friendship with Hannah, never speak ill of your wife, and then maintain a friendship with Amanda, never speaking ill of Hannah,” she screamed back. “That’s actually being mature and an adult.”
Paige then accused Kyle of being the one in the wrong. “What you do is two faced. Texting rage texting me and then acting like it’s all good,” she quipped.
While Amanda tried to calm Kyle down, he didn’t stop. He alleged that Hannah’s comments about her allegedly being fired after she did an “ad for Truly Seltzer” and it reportedly “annoyed” Kyle, who owns a rival alcohol brand, was “slander.”
Paige feared that Kyle and Craig’s feud would blur into her relationship with Amanda, crying to Ciara Miller, “I’ve been in this situation before and I’m trying not to be in it. Amanda and Hannah not being friends anymore was the worst. I still get upset about it.”
Amanda, meanwhile, went into Paige’s room and gave her a big hug. They both said “I love you” and noted that they didn’t want to “fight” with each other. “It makes me so sad, Amanda. I think all the time I wish you and Hannah were friends again,” Paige confessed, noting, “I don’t even want to fight with Kyle.”
Amanda admitted that her husband was “f—ing stupid” and they two have had fights over this “stuff.”
“In moments like this I can’t even talk him off the ledge,” Amanda said of Kyle in a confessional. “I know that Craig’s actions have affected Kyle and affected Loverboy but the way Kyle’s reacting to it isn’t doing him any favors.”
The next morning, Kyle told Amanda he felt like “a fish out of water” and he was “sorry for making things more awkward for you.”
Amanda pointed out that although he was upset, putting Paige in the middle was “unfair” to her. The episode ended with Kyle pulling Paige aside at the beach to talk to her about their drama.
Since filming wrapped, Kyle and Craig have made amends, with Kyle exclusively telling Us Weekly in October 2024 they are “good.”
Paige, meanwhile, exclusively told Us on Tuesday, March 4, that she and Kyle have a “brother-sister relationship.” She insisted that they are “fine” and both know, “we’re not gonna not be friends.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
