“I’m So Glad I Got Out” — Paige DeSorbo Admits to Hitting Craig Conover During Explosive Fights, Reflects on Why Their Breakup Was a Blessing and Addresses Jesse Solomon Flirting Rumors

In a brutally honest interview that’s shaking up Summer House fandom, Paige DeSorbo is peeling back the curtain on her chaotic, real-life relationship with Craig Conover — and revealing just how dark things got before their split.

Speaking candidly on a recent podcast, Paige didn’t hold back about the fights that plagued their off-screen romance. While fans speculated about their constant tension, Paige confirmed what many feared: their arguments were intense, toxic, and at times, physical.

“I’m not proud of it,” she admitted. “But yeah, there were moments where I hit him. I was so angry, so frustrated — we’d be screaming at each other, and I just snapped.”

“It Wasn’t Just a Fight — It Was a Pattern”

According to Paige, the fighting wasn’t rare. It became the foundation of their relationship behind the scenes.

“We weren’t fighting like a couple trying to work through things,” she explained. “We were fighting like enemies trapped in the same room. Constant yelling, slamming doors, crying — it got ugly. Over and over.”

 

Paige described feeling stuck in a cycle of chaos: “We’d blow up, then act like nothing happened. I kept telling myself we just needed to push through it — but the truth was, we were breaking each other down.”

“Marriage Would Have Broken Me”

When asked about whether she ever seriously considered marrying Craig, Paige didn’t hesitate.

“I thought I did. I thought that’s what love looked like — passion, drama, fire. But no. That wasn’t love. That was dysfunction,” she said. “Looking back now, I see it so clearly: marrying him would’ve broken me.”

She called the breakup a blessing, even if it didn’t feel like it at the time. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve done — but also the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so glad I got out.”

The Jesse Solomon Factor

As for the rumors swirling about Jesse Solomon and his flirtatious vibe with Paige, she didn’t exactly deny it — but she set the record straight.

“Jesse’s a flirt. That’s just his personality,” Paige said with a shrug. “Do I think he was trying to get under Craig’s skin a little? Yeah. But I wasn’t flirting back — I was too busy trying not to lose my mind in my relationship.”

Still, Paige admitted the attention felt… nice.

“After months of feeling invisible and yelled at, having someone just be nice to me felt shocking. It reminded me of who I used to be.”

“I’m Finally Free to Be Me Again”

Now that she’s out of the relationship, Paige says she’s finding her way back to herself.

“I was so caught up in trying to make us work that I forgot who I was,” she said. “Now I wake up without anxiety. I laugh again. I’m not scared of what mood someone’s going to be in.”

And while she’s not jumping into anything serious just yet, Paige made it clear: she knows what she won’t tolerate again.

“No more screaming. No more walking on eggshells. I want peace, softness, and someone who doesn’t make me feel crazy for asking to be treated right.”

In her words: “I survived Craig. And that says a lot.”
