Loverboysure does stir up a lot of hate.
Kyle Cooke also hatesher (now ex-) boyfriend Craig Conover.
And Berners not a huge fan of Conover, now that he and DeSorbo are dunzo.
Oh, and his wife, Amanda Batula, too.
It all erupted with the return ofSummer House, season nine, at Lindsay Hubbards gender-reveal party.
How fucking dare you!
What you do is two-faced.
Rage-texting me and then acting like its all good.
DeSorbo also said she couldnt take any more texts just berating my boyfriend and my best friend.
Summer 2018:Both Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner joinSummer Houseforseason three.
Berner and Kyle Cooke immediately clash over his de facto leadership of the house.
During this season of filming, it comes to light that Cooke had cheated on Batula.
Ive never felt worse in my entire life.
Summer 2019:Hannah Berner partners with Truly hard seltzer.
Cooke expresses frustration with the giggly squad in the corner.
And thus a podcasting empire is born.
The entire season plays out like a summerlong friend breakup between Berner and the rest of the house.
In hindsight, DeSorbo says she wishes shed tried to squash the beef when it started.
I would have spoken up more.
I love doing it.
I loved doing it with Hannah, Paige toldUs Weeklyin 2021.
I would have gone back to the start of when people started fighting.
Lets not do this.
By the end of the season, Berneris disinvitedfrom Kyle and Amandas wedding.
Amanda says she actually started crying when she first heard the rumor.
That bathroom was awesome …
I get it, she said on theSummer House After Show.
I just felt like, after hearing it, like a little,Mmm really?
You guys just let me be in there and no one gave me a heads-up?
In the sameAfter Show,Berner denied doing the deed in the primary bath.
I like sat up on the sink for a second.
I dont know him well enough [to say if hes an opportunist], Batula said.
Kyle was less charitable, saying Des was two-faced.
(That insult will come back later in this saga.)
She also readdressed the sex-in-the-bathroom thing.
We did not have sex in the bathroom.
Were in there for 30 seconds, she said.
Theyre acting like Ive murdered someone.
And, like, since when is sex onSummer Houseconsidered this disgusting thing?
Im kind of confused by it all.
But I own up to being emotional this season and reactive.
September 2021:Kyle and Amanda get married!
Hannah is not invited!
Paige and Craig soft-launch at the wedding!
And then Craig gets kicked out?
That rumor swirls for another few years before being fully confirmed by Kyle in season nine ofSummer House.
May 2024:Craig Conover becomes an investor in Spritz Society, a canned-cocktail company competing with Cookes.
(Try saying that ten times fast.)
As to why hed never invested in Loverboy, Conover simply says it wasnt an option.
OnWWHL, Cooke talks about how he felt wronged by Conover.
I think Craig had already signed the deal when he confronted me.
He claimed he didnt know I have a spritz.
He thought I had just sparkling hard teas.
The way they went about it really rubbed me the wrong way.
June 2024:Craig Conover denies being kicked out of Kyle and Amandas wedding.
Or at least not, like, fully ejected.
Just a cute little denial of reentry.
I dont think you gotta come back in here, Conover tellsUs Weekly.It was a filmed event.
I think if I was kicked out, we wouldve seen it on TV.
July 2024:Hannah Berner says Kyle Cooke got her fired fromSummer House.What was her crime?
I didnt know that I wasnt allowed to drink other drinks.
I think some of these shows become a lot of egos, she explains.
And its like, Its my show.
You cant do that.
Cooke calls Berners story upsetting because theres no truth to it.
He also questions Berners timeline.
But its Cookes timing that doesnt add up, as Berner had been working with Truly since 2019.
I told her no apology to me was necessary but that Amanda deserved one, he tells Page Six.
She also says that Paige was the only person in the house to laugh at her jokes.
September 2024:Craig Conover gives an interview indicating that his feud with Kyle may be on its ebb.
News, so I think it was more I didnt understand it.
I also was just shocked.
Youll get to see how that plays out whenSummer Housecomes out.
Kyle is actually one of my closest friends in the Bravo world, Conover continues.
I was just bummed.
He still doesnt fully get what Kyle is so mad about.
I think the spaces are really big, and I think a rising tide lifts all ships.
I think we just look at things differently, and thats okay.
He doesnt actually run his own business.
He gets to like, do his thing.
Im jealous of that, he tells Andy Cohen.
December 2024:Craig Conover responds to Cookes snark at Bravo Fan Fest.
OnWWHL,he says, it just always hurts my feelings when Cooke negs him.
Um, Im really proud of what weve built, especially with Sewing Down South.
And weve worked really hard, my two partners.
So it just hurt my feelings.
This same month, Paige DeSorbo announces her breakup with Conover, which hasits own timelineof he-said-she-said drama.
Paige shows them to housemate Ciara Miller but doesnt confront Kyle about them until the next episode.
Like, what the fuck?
You have both of their numbers.
You trying to put me in the middle of it is absolutely insane.
In fairness (?)
to Kyle, Paige is now putting Ciara in the middle of being put in the middle by Kyle.
Now, Ive gotten to a point where, like, Youve fucked with my best friend.
Youre fucking with my boyfriend.
You disrespect me, you think you might text me anything you want.
Like, youre lucky I dont buy Loverboy and fucking sell it.
An intrepid Bravo viewer transcribes them.
Kyle complains to Paige about Hannahs appearances onBFFsandCall Her Daddy,Craig, and Craigs Spritz Society partnership.
He also texts that Hannah Berner had the lowest Q rating of the entire online grid.
Lower than Jax Taylor?)
Paige sees the issue as less a truth verus lie situation and more like two different POVs.
Its two different experiences, she says.
Youll never agree, and it doesnt matter because you guys arent gonna be friends.
So it doesnt matter.
March 6, 2025:Kyle Cooke insists hes not the drama.
Im not the one talking about Hannah its the inverse, Cooke says at a Page SixVirtual Reali-Tealive event.
Im not the one out there spewing lies.
At the same event, he throws yet more shade at Conover.
Spritz Society issued a press release saying their product would be onSummer Houseseason nine.
I mean, Im the least surprised, he says of the PR move.
And I dont think Craig is interested in repairing the friendship, she added.
He wasnt asked to leave,she said, he was told to go home.
Amanda also addressed her side of the feud with Hannah Berner.
She said she doesnt attendGiggly Squadlive shows out of respect, because we havent made amends.
Amanda seemed slightly more hopeful of a future reconciliation between her and Hannah than between Kyle and Craig.
I dont know if well ever get to that point, she said.
It sounds like Amanda thinks the ball is in Hannahs court.
March 27, 2025:Craig went on a tear onWWHL,shading his ex and her vicious friends.
In response, Kyle said he actually reached out to Craig after news of the breakup broke out.
I actually texted him, Cooke said.
I think, not only did he not respond, he unfollowed me.
