Paige DeSorbo dropped a massive allegation about ex-boyfriend Craig Conover in an extended look at season 9 of Summer House.
Bravo released a preview of what’s to come this season on Summer House after the season 9 premiere aired on Wednesday, February 12.
Most of the premiere focused on meeting new female Hamptons housemate Lexi Wood and her friend Bailey and Lindsay Hubbard’s pregnancy reveal, but the preview clip at the end of episode 1 was all about Paige, 32, and Craig’s recent breakup.
“I’m like, ‘Craig, what are you talking about?’ I feel like you’re so betraying me right now,” Paige told pals Amanda Batula and Lindsay, 38, in the teaser, which was filmed six months after the rest of the season that took place in summer 2024.
Breaking Down Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s Split: What They’ve Said
Paige explained she was frustrated over rumors of infidelity that surfaced in January after she confirmed her split from Craig, 35, in December 2024.
“You’re going to let people say that I’m a cheater,” she said, speaking about Craig before claiming, “I caught you texting two bitches in the course of our relationship.”
Both Amanda, 33, and Lindsay — who was pumping breast milk in the clip after welcoming her first baby in December 2024 — were visibly shocked by Paige’s allegations. However, the reality star looked unfazed as she slammed her ex-boyfriend.

“Now you’re dead to me,” Paige quipped, hinting that the gloves are off after she and Craig initially parted ways on good terms.
The bombshell allegation comes less than two months after Paige announced in December 2024 that she and Craig ended their three-year relationship.
“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” Paige told her “Giggly Squad” podcast listeners at the time. “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.”
Craig broke his silence on the split in early January, revealing via Instagram that he was “very shocked” by what transpired.
“It takes two people to be in a relationship and you can’t control other people, you can only control how you react to it,” he told his followers at the time, asking fans to “remember to be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff.”
That same month, rumors surfaced that Paige was dating Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez, which she denied. She was also romantically linked to a mystery man who she sat by at a Philadelphia Eagles game.
After Craig’s longtime friend and Southern Charm costar Austen Kroll claimed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that the rumors about Paige moving on with a new man were “substantiated,” she decided to publicly comment on the speculation.
“Let me say this here and now: I did not move on with some new guy,” Paige said on the February 3 “Giggly Squad” podcast episode. “I’m single. I don’t have a new boyfriend. I did not cheat — not on my ex-boyfriend.”
She made it clear that she “never physically cheated” or “emotionally cheated” on Craig. Paige also clarified their split timeline, saying she broke up with the Sewing Down South founder over Thanksgiving weekend in November 2024.

Craig, meanwhile, told Andy Cohen on February 6 that she didn’t “want to be involved” in the narrative about Paige allegedly being unfaithful.
“I got broken up with. I’m the ex-boyfriend, moving on with my life. I’m not going to get sucked into the mud with them,” he said during an appearance on WWHL.
Craig argued that he didn’t like Paige’s Summer House castmates “commenting on how I am grieving” and claiming that he isn’t “defending her” on Reddit threads about her alleged cheating.
“Like, I never said you cheated, so I’m not a part of this,” he concluded.
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
