Summer House is one of Bravo’s most discussed shows despite not having the highest ratings. This is partly the case because of the saga that is Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard.
Both are back for this season of the show and have said fans will see into their demise as a couple. Now, Carl is admitting that Lindsay’s continuing to drink while he was working toward sobriety was a factor. Plus, she says processing their breakup was really hard.
As many fans know, Lindsay and Carl were engaged. However, he called off the wedding three months before it was set to happen. Additionally, Carl celebrated three years of sobriety in January.
Notably, Lindsay also gave up drinking in the early days of Carl’s sobriety. However, she picked it up again while filming season seven of Summer House. He recently spoke to People, and when asked if her drinking played a factor in him ending the engagement, he had this to say, “There’s a lot of layers to it. A relationship encompasses a lot more things besides just drinking.”
He then says that alcohol will always be a factor in his relationships.
According to him, “As someone who’s sober and is committing to a lifetime of not drinking, the person I am with and their relationship with alcohol, it does matter.”
Carl then goes on to say that fans will get more of an understanding of why he and Lindsay are no longer together.
He said, “There were things that were always right there in front of us, that always were a constant conversation, and things we needed to work on and understand better about each other.”
He continued, “There are things you’ll see that had happened before the summer started, but then happened again during the summer. Finances, career, that’s always going to be a conversation, regardless of where you’re at, but those were definitely topics that came up this summer.”
Lindsay also recently opened up to Life & Style Magazine about their breakup and what it took to process it.
She says, “The first month was brutal trying to process my feelings and search for answers.”
Lindsay then shared what she wishes Carl could have done differently.
“If he wanted to break up, those feelings are valid. But the way he went about it was severely lacking in respect, love and friendship,” said Lindsay. “He could’ve communicated in a way that kept a shred of integrity intact.”
However, she was able to get through it by traveling and spending more time with her friends. Fans can see Carl and Lindsay on Summer House on Thursday nights.
