Paige DeSorbo Finally Reveals Why Craig Conover Was Told to Leave Amanda and Kyle’s Wedding: “He Acted Like an Entitled Brat”

Paige DeSorbo just revealed what actually went down at Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke‘s wedding that got her then-boyfriend Craig Conover kicked off the property.

In the second and final part of the Summer House Season 9 reunion, DeSorbo finally confirmed the long-standing rumors that Conover was “asked not to return to the backyard” of Batula’s parents’ house, where their 2021 wedding took place.

“The next morning I woke up and I was like, ‘You have to apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Batula.’ And he absolutely refused,” DeSorbo — who broke up with the Southern Charm star in November 2024 after three years of dating — told host Andy Cohen. “I was mortified.”

She continued, “He was belligerently drunk. He was causing a scene. He was kicking tables. He was yelling at people. He was going inside the house,” ignoring the Batulas’ request for their guests to stay outside.

According to Batula, DeSorbo was the one who texted her parents to apologize for Conover’s behavior the next day.

“He acted like an entitled brat at the wedding and he was an embarrassment,” DeSorbo added.

The gossip surrounding the ordeal has been circulating in the rumor mill for years. DeSorbo previously accused Lindsay Hubbard of leaking the story to the blogs, though she later learned that it was actually Danielle Olivera.

While Conover has admitted to drinking too much that night, he has also insisted that the rumors that he was kicked out of the wedding were “made up.”

“It was a filmed event. I think if I was kicked out, we would’ve seen it on TV,” he told Us Weekly in a June 2024 interview. “But, to be fair, I was asked to not come back in, in case I wanted to decide to come back in.”

DeSorbo, for her part, shared whether there were other instances where she had to lie to protect her ex-boyfriend, who has since cut back on his drinking.

“Honestly, I’m so uncomfortable because I’ve never had to lie in my entire life until I started dating him and it was more like, I had to be like, ‘Oh, he’s not that drunk.’ Or, ‘Oh, we just wanted to go home early,’” she said at the reunion. “It’s little situations that he would put me in that I would have to defuse. It’s uncomfortable and it gets very overwhelming and tiring.”

Summer House Season 9 is currently streaming on Peacock.
