Paige DeSorbo Reveals Why She Really Left ‘Summer House’: “It’s Not My Vibe Anymore”

   

Paige DeSorbo Shares the Real Reason She Left Summer House

Fresh off her Las Culturistas Culture Award win for the Allison Williams Cool Girl AwardBravo star Paige DeSorbo is revealing why she made the decision to leave Summer House after seven seasons on the reality show.

For the better part of a decade, fans have tuned in to see Paige and her Summer House co-stars drive out to the Hamptons on summer weekends to party, drink, fight, and hook up—your classic reality TV drama. And viewers were devastated when, earlier this summer, Paige announced that season 9 would be her last.

“Like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close,” she wrote in part in an Instagram post announcing her decision, adding, “You haven’t seen the last of me, I promise.”

At the time, it wasn’t clear what exactly Paige would be doing instead of Summer House, but now we have a little bit of a clearer picture.

“When it came time to start thinking about the summer, I really just had a moment where I was like, ‘Wait a minute, I can’t go film a TV show,’” Paige said in an interview with Larry Crespo’s Bravo by Gays podcast, explaining that she’s simply too busy to add filming a reality show to her already very busy schedule. “This past spring, I was like, ‘I really need time off. I don’t physically think I could film Summer House.

The decision to leave Summer House did not come lightly and was made after “months and months of thinking,” Paige said, though she did have a feeling that season 9 would be her last when she finished filming in 2024.

“I definitely felt different leaving last summer. There was something where I had this gut feeling where I was just like, ‘This is probably the last time I'll ever leave this house,’” she recounted.

Instead of spending the summer filming, Paige has spent the last few months promoting her sleepwear line Daphne, while co-hosting her podcast Giggly Squad and balancing other work commitments. And it sounds like she doesn’t regret opting out of partying with the Summer House crew.

“I wouldn’t have been able to come this summer and be truly authentic,” she told Bravo by Gays. “I’ve worked so much this year. I don’t want to go out on a Friday and Saturday night. It’s not my vibe anymore.
