I feel like, I’m just going to get backhanded for, like, stepping out of line.”  Rodrigo Reyes spoke with Us Weekly to elaborate as to why he and his castmates took issue with Craig and sometimes that can come across as being domineering I guess.”  Whether it is a God complex or straight-up hubris Craig should take notes and figure out how to tweak his bad attitude Southern Charm is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland TELL US – DO YOU THINK CRAIG BELIEVES HE IS SOME SORT OF BRAVO GOD Jennifer O'Brien has been a fan of reality TV ever since Jessica Simpson asked "Is this chicken or fish?"

The Fever’s game against the Brazilian National team sold out in under 45 minutes wasn’t an option either — those ticket prices were sky-high They have family friends who are season-ticket holders who invited them to the game allowing Conover and Carsjohns to see Clark play again in the arena where she built her stardom They started watching Clark during her freshman year at Iowa when COVID-19 locked down games across the nation only family was allowed in to watch games during that 2020-21 season they could see how she lit up the Hawkeyes the whole court light up a bit,” Carsjohns said The two friends followed Clark’s career through college and even brought some of what she did on the court to their own youth basketball team “I think it showed our team that you don’t have to be selfish with the ball was waiting to get into the game with her mom and brother has been watching Clark since she went to a game with her grandparents when she was 5 years old The game was an early birthday present for Miller “I like that she doesn’t only think she’s the best at shooting,” Miller said “I like that she lets other teammates participate… and I thought it was fun now that she’s in the WNBA Those three girls were only a few of the hundreds of young fans that came to watch Clark and the Fever in her return to Iowa City Clark made sure to make time for every fan she could taking pictures and signing autographs before and after the game she was enveloped by fans hoping for a glimpse of her or a signed jersey and the young girls and young boys that stand there and I don't take that for granted,” Clark said I would be lying to you if I thought that was just like normal So I'm glad I can be a role model for them.” Get IndyStar's Indiana Fever coverage sent directly to your inbox with

plenty of people hated on Paige for doing what was best for her We also see more of the post-breakup discussion between Paige ‘I really wish you didn’t do this before you saw the ring,’” Paige says ‘This is why we’re breaking up because I don’t know if you’re lying right now.’” So did she want the ring or not In the episode that aired Wednesday we see more of the conversation between Paige and Ciara during which Paige wonders if she’s dating a “secret hater.” Craig is apparently always asking “what about me?” while she gears up for the Giggly Squad tour She also says he won’t admit on camera that she has more stuff on her plate than he does his Paige is confiding in Ciara on the latest episode of SummerHouse. #PaigeDeSorbo #CiaraMiller March 27, 2025: On WWHL, Conover took the opportunity to transform Andy Cohen’s talk show into a White House press briefing as he responded to DeSorbo’s allegations that he wasn’t supportive of her career. “She did. She felt that way. Again a lot of the stuff that y’all are seeing is misconstrued, and it’s not accurate, and that’s okay. Trust me,” Conover explained “She might have been over the relationship but she never not felt supported by me why does it matter?” Cohen pushed back as Conover reiterated that a few months before the breakup she was telling she “wanted to get married and have kids.” Cohen almost cuts him off to ask the juiciest question: is he dating anyone new it’s not Salley [Carson.] I heard someone [in the audience] say that I tend to date only one person at the same time and I’ve been reminded that the universe works in crazy ways and everything happens for a reason.” He also confessed that he returned DeSorbo’s engagement ring that same day “I just returned it this morning,” he shared so I took it back to the guy.” He also called DeSorbo’s friends’ “vitriol” of him “nasty”: “I want to encourage America to never act like that because I think it’s disgusting.” April 9, 2025: Another episode of Summer House, another scene of Paige DeSorbo desperately unhappy in her relationship. How did Craig not see this coming? In episode 9 Paige had a heart-to-heart with Ciara about being “the breadwinner” in her relationship if she’s the one financially supporting their lifestyle should Paige be the one to move and get pregnant Paige says she has to “dim her light” in order to make Craig feel comfortable Paige is giving more insight into her conflicted feelings. #SummerHouse #PaigeDeSorbo #CiaraMiller April 23, 2025: Cohen grilled DeSorbo on her past relationship with Conover, giving her space to clear up any misconceptions on their romance now that some time has passed. “I mean, obviously, yeah it wasn’t [mutual]. I broke up with him,” DeSorbo confirmed on WWHL “I feel like he was saying that because he wanted to be the victim she caused this.” She clarifies that she’s “dating people” and it’s “nothing serious.” “Exes don’t owe each other anything but I needed him to not lean into it.” She concluded April 26, 2025: Amazon wasn’t the only giant corporate entity trying to snake Indie Bookstore Day Craig posted a sponsored video celebrating his favorite books and would you believe How to Giggle was not among them Conover specifically shouted out The Let Them Theory which is the only book currently outselling Paige’s new book on the Times’ “Advice Bestsellers” list This is Spritz Society versus Loverboy all over again Love a good book like me?

Craig joined Paige for a photobooth session as they celebrated her Summer House co-stars Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula saying "I do" on September 25 Paige and Craig dressed up as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee à la Hulu's Pam and Tommy for Halloween The couple that goes all out for Halloween together Craig made his debut on Paige's Instagram grid on December 19 with this cute pic captioned Paige began making appearances on Craig's Instagram around the same time The couple is currently "having a lot of fun and spending more time with each other," Craig recently told E!

Craig also wants everyone to extend grace to his now-ex "I'm still processing everything it's your best friend who you talk to all day every day and then they're just gone," he noted "So one day I'll be able to talk more on it but right now I just wanted to thank everyone for their kind messages." Because Paige and Craig split as Southern Charm Season 10 aired, the cast was frequently asked for their takes on the breakup. Not to mention, Craig’s narrative about the split, which played out in the finale and at the reunion. Most of which Paige denied. Months after they split, and now that Craig has moved on where does Paige stand with her ex’s Southern Charm castmates When Madison appeared on Watch What Happens Live “I always loved Paige and I always will,” the Southern belle said “I just haven’t heard from her since they broke up.” On her own Watch What Happens Live appearance, Paige explained why she ghosted Madison Paige said she was “really sad” about the friendship ending because she “loved Madison.” She added she heard that Madison was “saying some not-so-nice stuff about me.” Then “It wasn’t really a check-in,” Paige claimed ‘I don’t need to give anyone tea right now.’” Paige and Andy talked about how well she connected with Austen and enjoyed their friendship Paige told Andy that “Of the boys down there I always felt the closest to Austen.” Especially because they had “the same humor.” We saw this on Southern Charm Season 10 where Paige and Austen both took turns making cracks about Craig However, Austen ran his mouth quite a bit since Paige and Craig broke up. At one point, he said it was confirmed that Paige moved on with Joe D’Amelio. Paige responded to Austen’s remarks by commenting a man I haven’t spoken to in 6 months knows exactly what I’m doing.” So it doesn’t look like these two are going to stay friends Paige’s fans criticized Southern Charm matriarch Patricia Altschul for saying she was “mean” to Craig. After that WWHL appearance, Paige threw shade at Patricia via Instagram stories “Teaching your daughters to have a voice is way more important than being nice.” Her friends Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula also had Paige’s back Patricia stood by her words at the Southern Charm reunion Paige directly addressed Patricia’s criticism I think she said she was like a self-proclaimed b*tch,” Paige responded so it’s not surprising they got along so well And Venita can also relate to some of what Paige is going through in the public eye She had her own romance woes play out this season on Southern Charm In an interview, Venita admitted she’s Team Paige in the split She also texted Paige after it went public After Venita’s public support of Paige Craig said he “won’t be associated with her.” But he claimed it wasn’t just about choosing sides “You can be Paige’s friend or whatever,” he insisted But claimed he cut ties with Venita because “she was regurgitating gossip from the internet.” Craig added she joked that she wasn’t losing any sleep over it Venita and Paige regularly comment supportive things on each other’s Instagram posts On the Southern Charm After Show, Shep dismissed Paige’s Giggly Squad podcast as a “stupid *ss talk show.” Paige’s podcast with Hannah Berner has a strong fan base Shep was roasted pretty hard for that comment considering the Giggly Squad’s recent success Paige and Hannah’s book tour includes stops on the Tonight Show unlike some NYT Bestselling author Bravolebrities their spot on the list didn’t have the dagger icon That is used to indicate suspicious activity with book sales Because their book landed on the list without that symbol we have proof that Paige and Hannah’s popularity is very real It’s safe to say they’re proving naysayers like Shep wrong Southern Charm is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED ABOUT WHERE PAIGE STANDS WITH THE SOUTHERN CHARM CAST AFTER HER BREAKUP WITH CRAIG CONOVER Madeline has been writing professionally since 2015 and began putting her expertise and obsession with reality tv to good use in 2020 with Vanderpump Rules being her favorite (she will boast about disliking Sandoval since season 1) She firmly believes that Potomac is the best Real Housewives franchise she adores Love Island more than an author bio could possibly express and will argue with anyone that season 3 of Love Island UK is one of the greatest seasons in the history of television co-founder of Charleston homegoods store Sewing Down South has released a canned cocktail in partnership with Spritz Society The gift shop at the International African American Museum is now online with select items available for nationwide shipping 'Southern Charm' reality TV cast member and local business owner Craig Conover is promoting canned cocktail brand at the Summerville grocery store while local bookstores celebrate Independent Bookstore Day Entrepreneur Craig Conover has another Southern-style venture on his résumé: a collaboration for an “adult Arnold Palmer” lemon and iced-tea flavored canned cocktail The cast member of Bravo TV's "Southern Charm" reality show will be at the Harris Teeter at 1269 Nexton Parkway in Summerville on May 1 from 5-7 p.m The venture is one of several for Conover, who owns the pillow and lifestyle brand Sewing Down South on King Street and is part owner of By The Way bar and restaurant Conover recently released the summer collection for Sewing Down South saying it's inspired by his European travels with a mix of florals and other seasonal patterns "We want you to feel like you’re on vacation every time you walk into your home," he said Charleston bookstore and food-and-beverage stop Philosophers & Fools will celebrate Independent Bookstore Day on April 26 A “golden ticket” will also be hidden in the store with 12 audiobook credits Free samples of High Rise Seltzers will be on hand from 1:30-3 p.m. followed by samples of Sunboy spiked coconut water from 3:30-5 p.m. and $1 oysters and $5 glasses of champagne from 7-9 p.m Other participating stores include Buxton Books in Charleston The Archive and The Village Bookseller in Mount Pleasant Itinerant Literature in North Charleston and Main Street Reads in Summerville Florence's Lowcountry Kitchen on Folly Road announced on social media that it would close it doors in Island Plaza shopping center on April 27 "We want to thank James Island for our run," the restaurant posted on social media adding that there is a new restaurant coming to the location and wished the new owners "nothing but the best."

Paige noted "it was very obvious she was very team my ex." 'It’s best to just leave it,'" the 32-year-old reflected Paige also revealed she hasn't heard from Craig's longtime BFF Austen Kroll since their messy split I always felt closest to Austen," the reality star shared But these days, Paige has so moved on from the drama. In fact, she had a surprisingly positive take on Craig's new romance. Paige confirmed she’s “absolutely dating people.”  Keep reading to look back at Craig and Paige's relationship pre-split and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family) Paige DeSorbo broke down in tears over her relationship problems with then-boyfriend Craig Conover during Summer House's April 16 episode filmed several months before their breakup The Summer House star got brutally honest about potentially wanting out of their three-year relationship during the Bravo series' April 16 episode 'If this is not what you want...'" the Giggly Squad podcast cohost told costar Ciara Miller Because it's so much easier to give the other person the out than to really dig deep and determine if that's what you want." "I just want to run away and change my name." Plus, Craig previously voicing concerns that her months-long Giggly Squad live tour might put a strain on their relationship only made her feel bad about her increasingly busy career "I feel guilty that I'm not more happy," the 32-year-old admitted to her BFF 'I wished for everything I have.' I've literally manifested the apartment I live in manifested having a boyfriend who's obsessed with me why am I the most anxious I've ever been in my entire life when I have everything I want?" But after opening up about her reservations concerning their future together on camera Paige felt even worse and was still an emotional mess the next day "I just get overwhelmed," she told Ciara in tears after a rough night contemplating her feelings about the Southern Charm star I just feel like I'm spreading myself so thin I feel like Craig is going to freak out on me I'm just nervous Craig's gonna be like 'You're such a f--king b---h.' I'm just so f--king anxious." Paige—who ended her romance with the Charleston native in November—felt like she was being forced to choose between her relationship and professional success "I get that his feelings are valid too," the influencer continued sometimes I feel like he dumbs down how busy I am or I'm being a bad person if my relationship isn't the number one thing in my life or that I'm not putting it first I always feel like I'm doing the wrong thing I get nervous that me and Craig are gonna break up and it's going to be like 'He's so much better off without her "I get nervous that everything I have will go away."

He came across as the lesser of two evils between Shep Rose and Austen Kroll The lawyer was a true storyteller who never missed a moment to make his point he was a little lost in his life after college but eventually found his passion with Sewing Down South I mostly rooted for Craig until the last two seasons The Bravoleb has started morphing into a cranky man who rarely wants to hear his friend’s opinions Season 10 showed Craig really stepping into his new persona. After months of his friends saying that he had changed, Craig finally let Austen and fans know that he had struggled with alcohol. But his behavior didn’t exactly get better after this revelation. There have been multiple times that he just seemed to act out. Part one of the reunion showed him yelling at Leva Bonaparte when she tried to defend JT Thomas and the restaurant owner called him out for trying to gaslight her Then, there was the chat with Summer House star Kyle Cooke in the dingy. The Loverboy founder was livid that his friend had invested with a rival spritz company. To many viewers, Kyle had every right to be annoyed But Craig couldn’t grasp that he was actually in the wrong telling cameras he was the one who deserved the apology He even shared that he had Loverboy taken off the shelves at stores his spritz was in It also struck me as odd that he would go into the alcohol business when he just admitted he rarely drinks anymore I never thought I’d see the day that Kyle was more mature in a conversation Craig has kind of turned into a one-trick pony All fans see is him working on his podcast or pillow extensions And while I enjoyed the honeybee segment immensely But every time I’ve seen Craig recently on Watch What Happens Live or in an interview, he seems to be floating on Cloud 9, almost untouchable. Some of the big hitters have indeed left the show, like Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel but others have come in with much more gusto than Craig and all Craig could do was lie about his verbiage to Patricia Altschul I just feel like sometimes it’s easy to take a step back and not take yourself so seriously.” But in his opinion Craig’s seriousness is “probably” the very thing that has made the cast fearful Rod has hope that Craig will see the error in his ways [I hope he] spends more time with his friends [and] we can get back to us just having a good time and I just want everyone to have a good time.” Southern Charm is available to stream on Peacock Craig Conover gave then-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo an ultimatum about their future together on Summer House's March 12 episode several months before the Bravo stars broke up after three years The cracks in Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's relationship are becoming clearer and clearer "Sometimes I feel guilty about certain decisions because I'm like, 'I feel bad for my parents,'" Paige admitted to the Southern Charm star while discussing their future over dinner in NYC 'I should do this for my parents.' A perfect example is when Lindsay [Hubbard] announced her pregnancy 'Thank god it's not me.' But then in the back of my head 'But should I be getting ready to have a baby because my parents really want a grandchild?'" "You shouldn't be having a baby because your parents want grandkids," she agreed by confidently declaring "I can't even find two weeks to freeze my eggs," the Giggly Squad podcast cohost added the Bravo stars' increasingly busy schedules were becoming somewhat of an issue for Craig As the Sewing Down South founder then shared "It's a bummer sometimes because I think we're so busy that sometimes it feels like we live a single life I don't want us doing events apart forever." "I wanna make sure that—as we continue to get busier," he continued you're about to go on tour—that we continue to make each other and our relationship a priority and we don't let it slip." And even though the 36-year-old noted it's "awesome" that Paige was becoming more successful in her own right "Sometimes it's a bummer that we can't do stuff." but my career took a different turn and I can't travel as much as I used to." she made a plea to Craig promising she wouldn't let their hectic lifestyles get in the way of their relationship while also asking for some grace "I don't want you to ever feel neglected," she told him "I don't want you to ever feel like you're not a priority but I need you to also be a little bit okay that that I'm not gonna be able to come down and just chill in the backyard I haven't had a day off in I don't know when." But Craig still had his sights set on settling down in the near future "If you were this busy for the rest of our lives I don't see it working out," he told Paige "Are you breaking up with me in an Australian restaurant?" "I know you're going to choose work 10 times out of 10 right now in our lives you can't choose work all the time." The ultimatum wasn't exactly what Paige wanted to hear "It makes me feel like if I get more and more successful it's a bad thing," the 32-year-old responded if I don't make you the number one priority "Do you want me to be really honest?" she continued 'Let's have a baby tomorrow,' you'd be like let's live a slow life.' I don't ever want to live a slow life." As it became clearer the two were on different pages I just never thought I'd be in such a submissive relationship." The difficult conversation ended with Paige pondering "Should I apologize for being strong and independent?" to which Craig retorted "I didn't realize I would be giving up so much decision-making." See the exes' breakup play out when Summer House airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m And keep reading to relive their romance pre-split I arrived at this opinion based on their communication: Paige didn’t want to leave her home and family in New York and Craig didn’t want to leave his business in South Carolina They both were fine with traveling back and forth in the meantime and they didn’t feel pressured to get engaged or buy real estate together I respected what I read as emotional maturity and mutual independence; they didn’t feel the need to make their relationship look good to others I was … basically alone in these feelings What I perceived as two people being secure enough in themselves and their relationship that they ignored arbitrary social norms they talk about wanting marriage and family and stuff—grow up already and move in together and get married Avoiding that must mean one or both of them simply wasn’t ready he’s finally (in his mind) getting his shit together Perhaps one of the most popular Bravolebrities of all time she’s ascended reality stardom for fashion influencer status but between fashion influencing and podcasting she’s huge in certain corners of the internet and start cranking out babies would be completely antithetical to her image at this moment but even the good ones like Paige aren’t above branding and image control His penchant for pillow-making had more than a little to do with ending one serious relationship the fact that it’s profitable is what’s keeping him from moving to New York and being with the woman he loves But I guess life has to … I gotta start living again I wasn’t surprised when they broke up But then I remembered that this is a man who genuinely believes pandas aren’t real he thinks the government is lying to us about pandas for some reason I always thought he was kind of joking about it “But did we?” with a wink whenever someone says something about how we landed on the moon but I know they don’t actually care enough to be a real moon-landing truther But now I’m starting to think he’s completely sincere and he’s out of touch in more ways than that one View this post on Instagram A post shared by THE ᗷᖇᗩᐯO OBJECTIVE ? ???’? ?????? ??? ????? (@your_new_fav_bravo_page_) He said he’s “happy to be busy in Minnesota this weekend.”  and Craig is trying to work himself up into a frenzy the outlet reported that Joe’s ex had also accused Paige of sending inappropriate texts to her then-fiancée disrespectful messages were sent to a man who was spoken for with absolutely no regard or respect for another woman or her relationship “I think we have to break up.” According to Craig it was after the November holiday that they agreed to “Talk about it I thought she was having a bad night or a breakdown.” According to the Sewing Down South founder the pair “had Thanksgiving with her family But we’ve been together for three years and you know a lot of stuff that we aren’t going to talk about tonight the last thing I was going to do was the next day when I was being interviewed I think Paige broke up with me.’ I don’t know I almost feel like Craig feels like fans can’t handle the truth. But that is all any Summer House viewer wants to know. Craig has a funny way of skirting serious questions And he has already pissed Paige off by not defending her against claims of infidelity “I’m not going to get sucked into the moment with them Her cast is commenting on how I’m grieving And I’m sorry I’m not reading Reddit every day and getting on there and defending her ‘You cheated.’ So I’m not a part of this.” To many it feels like Craig is looking for sympathy And Paige seems to be getting the short end of the stick as she is spotted back out in the wild Paige made sure to be kind and thoughtful in her response “Paige lied on her podcast and said the break up was mutual I got a text: ‘I’m announcing it on my podcast which it wasn’t.” But two can play this game As the Summer House premier showed the fashionista stating “He’s dead to me,” after cameras picked back up and she hinted he had been the one talking to two girls during the course of their relationship All I have to say is we need to get the popcorn ready for this sh*t show that is about the unfold Summer House is available to stream on Peacock. TELL US – DO YOU THINK PAIGE AND CRAIG WILL EVER BE FRIENDS? Jennifer O'Brien has been a fan of reality TV ever since Jessica Simpson asked, "Is this chicken or fish?" Jennifer's favorite shows consist of everything Bravo, including the 'Real Housewives' franchises, 'Below Deck' franchises, and 'Southern Charm.' Without a doubt, Jennifer's passion for reality TV shines through as she often tries to get to the bottom of major plot lines like Vanderpump Rules' "Scandoval." our latest installment comes courtesy of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen On the April 23 episode of WWHL, DeSorbo got the opportunity to respond to what Conover said on WWHL on February 6 But there’s a “but.” DeSorbo thinks Conover only said that because he wanted to claim victim status for himself But that’s not the only Conover comment (Cono-ment?) DeSorbo got to respond to Cohen also asked her if there was anything her ex-boyfriend said during the Southern Charm reunion that she would like to address she never considered marrying Conover at Bravo-con On Conover’s new relationship with Natalie Buffet: “I love it I’m so happy for him.” On him saying he didn’t need to defend her from cheating rumors online: “I feel like exes don’t owe each other anything I didn’t need him to defend me but I needed him not to lean into it.” And on Kyle Cook’s characterization of Conover as a liar: “I think Kyle nailed it.” In December 2024, Paige DeSorbo revealed on her Giggly Squad podcast that she and Conover had ended their relationship after three years together her description of the breakup at that time sounded a lot more amicable than it’s been sounding lately I think we will remain friends,” she said at the time I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want DeSorbo announced that she and Conover had split after three years of dating Doug Peters/PA Images via Getty; Emma McIntyre/Variety via Getty There was a time when Paige DeSorbo, 32, and Craig Conover, 36, were the best couple on Bravo She’s from Summer House; he’s from Southern Charm She’s a self-made fashion maven who doesn’t suffer fools; he’s a reformed bad boy with a soft side They lived in different states but seemed okay with that for a while and weren’t in a rush to get engaged or move in together before they were ready He built his dream home in Charleston with Paige’s help and wanted to start a family sooner rather than later Paige was the one with cold feet—she didn’t want to move away from her family in New York and was just starting to feel like she was finding her footing business-wise The pressure of this was just starting to get to her on the last season of Summer House. Then, in December of last year, Paige announced on her podcast that they’d broken up after three years of dating will we not?’ You just kind of are in this relationship I started dating Craig when I was 29 and I’m 32 now—and your 30s Craig has responded very differently. He maintains that Paige made this decision and that he was blindsided and disappointed. While his friends are implying that Paige was unfaithful or has already moved on with someone else … View this post on Instagram A post shared by Watch What Happens Live! (@bravowwhl) “I got broken up with… Paige lied on her podcast that the breakup was mutual,” he said He claims she called him one day out of the blue and broke the news Seasons nine and ten of Summer House and Southern Charm are airing right now the writing on the wall is coming more and more into focus Paige’s doubts were becoming clear—he just didn’t see them and one I know all too well—one person is ready to build the rest of their life around a partnership Craig said in that WWHL interview that he hates how everyone keeps telling him “Love isn’t enough,” because he thinks it should be—and he’s right But he also freely admits that Paige saw him through a transformational few years: he got sober He’s a better man because of her influence Either she didn’t like the new Craig as much as the rough-around-the-edges one she met three years ago or who she became after her own evolution just didn’t match up with who he was Both are valid reasons to break up with someone but it sucks a whole lot more to be the Craig in this scenario When that kind of scenario comes to an end she gets to walk away a better version of herself and he’s left with a life markedly different from when he started—in ways he intended to share with someone Southern Charm star Craig Conover finally told BFF Austen Kroll he'd been privately battling alcohol addiction in an effort to save their friendship on the Bravo series' March 6 episode Craig Conover is getting brutally honest about his problems with alcohol The Southern Charm star admitted to struggling with over-drinking for the first time during a heart-to-heart with longtime BFF Austen Kroll on the Bravo series' March 6 episode The intense conversation stemmed from Austen's past claims that Craig had cleaned up his act so much while dating then-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo that it caused a rift in their good times together you're one of my best friends," the Sewing Down South founder told his costar "I was never trying to do stuff to better myself to get away from other people I didn't ever know that it would change the level of our friendship I want to get back to a place of love." Austen reiterated that he didn't recognize the strait-laced person Craig had become I feel like where all the disconnect has come is you've created this wonderful image of yourself and you're terrified of disappointing someone or something," he told Craig 'I need to sit at my house and not see me with a beer in my hand,' or something." And When Craig questioned if he was projecting an “image that isn't me," Austen replied "It's like Craig doesn't want to hang or do this because he's got the image to protect," Austen explained "You've just gotten drunk on nice guy Craig I just want you to loosen the reigns a little bit." That's when Craig finally told Austen he'd quietly been struggling behind closed doors "I can't because I don't have any leash on myself," he admitted me trying not to be an alcoholic is now affecting my friendship with Austen.' And that's where I was coming from I have tears in my eyes because it's real." "I was in the trenches by myself trying to better my life and then you were like you're never with me anymore,'" the 36-year-old continued I'm gonna drink a bottle of Jäger and do dumb s--t.'" The bombshell admission left Austen a bit stunned "The word 'addict' you've never used with me.” he admitted that he never “said it out loud” until seeing costar Shep Rose get blackout drunk during the cast trip to the Bahamas after being rejected by his then-love interest Sienna 'This is why I don't do it anymore,'” Craig explained of his drinking Austen then apologized for not fully understanding what he was going through in his relationship with Paige, who Craig credited for helping him through his darkest days of recovery before their November breakup "She was right with me this entire time," Craig shared of the Summer House star "There's a reason me and Paige are so close I could just not imagine being closer to someone It's been a struggle and it's been a fight I guess I shouldn't have internalized it The honest conversation proved to be a breakthrough for the besties after their falling out and Austen was cautiously optimistic about the future of their friendship "Craig's addiction doesn't excuse him from being an a--hole Craig's addiction doesn't excuse him from being an angry f--king person," he said in a confessional "but it is the starting point and it definitely is not what I expected him to say as open and vulnerable with me as he is right now." is it freeing to just be transparent," he shared in his own confessional "If we would have just had this conversation sooner it would have saved us a lot of heartache and grief and frustration."

Cyrus shared in 2022 that she's been in recovery for her Xanax addiction since 2020 "It gave me so much structure in the time that I really needed structure because I didn't want to just be sitting around and stirring in my brain," she told Rolling Stone "Once I felt that it was possible to silence things out for a second and numb your pain She said her friends at the time "kind of cosigned" her drug use and "it just kind of becomes this dark pit Cyrus said she was noticing challenges and felt she wasn't emotionally present "I was completely nodding off and falling asleep," she recalled "And unable to keep my head up or keep my eyes open She eventually sought help and noted that "it took some time to get on my own two feet." The Parenthood alum was sober for 16 years before relapsing in 2020 by taking Vicodin after a motorcycle accident I don't really know…I'm on them all day," he said on his Armchair Expert podcast "And I'm allowed to be on them at some dosage because I have a prescription and then I'm also augmenting that." But my tolerance is going up so quickly that I'm now in a situation where I'm taking and I know that's an amount that's going to result in a pretty bad withdrawal and I'm starting to feel really lonely And I just have this enormous secret."  In 2018, the Halloween star got very candid about her 10-year addiction to opiates, which began in the late '80s after a minor plastic surgery "for my hereditary puffy eyes." The reslt was a prescription that changed her life. "I had a 10-year run, stealing, conniving," she told People When her sister visited her in the summer of 1998 and brought along prescribed painkillers for a rib injury, Curtis said she hit her rock bottom. "I knew she had them in her suitcase in our guest room closet," she told the publication When she was leaving I knew she would pack her suitcase and find her pills missing I knew I had to acknowledge to her what I had done and so I wrote her a note and left it on her suitcase and she put her arms around me and told me she loved me and she was concerned about me and she was unwilling to watch me kill myself." the same day she revealed her struggle to her filmmaker husband Christopher Guest "He was incredulous that he'd never noticed," Curtis said adding that she's been sober ever since who previously went to rehab for alcohol and drug addiction shared in 2021 that she was marking a big milestone in her journey "I'm just going to say something for the first time in a long time: I have not had a drink of alcohol in two and a half years," she said on CBS Mornings "And it was something that I realized just did not serve me in my life." When we reveal ourselves and our truths and the things we've worked so hard for it's so liberating and vulnerable all at the same time."  Barrymore later explained to the Los Angeles Times that she doesn't use the "sober" label because she doesn't want people to think she's "some perfect Puritan." I'll figure it out,'" she said in 2023 I just realized: ‘You've never mastered this The A Star Is Born actor struggled with a cocaine addiction during the early aughts before friend Will Arnett stepped in and confronted him out about his behavior "That was the first time I ever realized I had a problem with drugs and alcohol⁠," Cooper recalled during a 2022 appearance on the Smartless podcast "I'll just never forget it." Crediting Arnett as "the reason" he went sober "He took that risk of having a hard conversation with me that put me on a path of deciding to change my life." The Fight Club star spent years struggling with alcohol before Cooper helped him get sober "I got sober because of this guy," he told the audience at the 2020 National Board of Review Annual Awards after Cooper presented him with a trophy "And every day's been happier ever since."

After publicly celebrating six years of sobriety on tour in 2018, the singer stunned fans later that same year with the release of the confessional single "Sober," which revealed that she had relapsed I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore / And Daddy please forgive me for the drinks spilled on the floor / To the ones who never left me / We've been down this road before I'm so sorry I'm not sober anymore," she sang A month later, Lovato was hospitalized for a near-fatal overdose "I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction," she wrote on Instagram two weeks later "What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet...I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side In 2018, she recalled battling her addictions to sex and alcohol I definitely think I had a sex addiction of some kind that everything could be fixed by sex," she said before sharing about the time she realized she'd developed a troubling drinking problem "I remember reaching a rock bottom that time I was in the house by myself and I had those two bottles of wine and was going for the third bottle," she said You're in the this house by yourself going onto your third bottle of wine That's the thing about me: I can go cold turkey and I always have to watch myself and I can just get obsessed with things," she continued "It's not what you're doing but how you're with it It's the behavior that's attached to it because if you want to have a lot of sex That's what you've got to look at." The Backstreet Boys member tried drugs for the first time before filming the music video for 2000's "The Call," telling Good Morning America years later that he "was off the walls" during the shoot. He got sober in 2021 and saw numerous positive benefits just one year later including losing 32 pounds in seven months by cutting out alcohol and fast food "Drinking caused weight gain," he told Today in September 2022 "but it also weighed down my mental state." After the sudden death of Mac Miller, the rapper—born Shad Moss—took to Twitter to let his fans know that he'd once struggled with a cough syrup addiction "To the youth- Stop with these dumb ass drugs," he began his series of tweets When me and Omarion worked on FACE OFF album When yall saw me on BET going off on Torae i was high off lean My fans started to...Turn on me my family too The whole time i was on the UCP tour with Chris [Brown] I WAS SIPPING 4's atleast 7 times a day I was addicted until our show in Cincinnati. i came off stg and passed out woke up in the hospital i was having withdraws.""I never felt a pain like that ever," Bow Wow continued "It was summer but i was walking round with 3 hoodies on because i was so cold I missed the chicago show of that tour baltimore show BECAUSE I WAS F--KING HIGH AND SICK!!! that s--t is not cool and i was doing it to be cool We gotta save the youth from going out early I almost died f--king with syrup.""To this day im affected my stomach will...Never be the same and it hasnt been smarten up tighten up out here," he told his fans The young artist all the kids around the world. She told The Guardian "Nothing seemed to reach or satisfy me I remember waking up one morning in those dark days thinking because nothing else is working.'" The Parent Trap actor battled a cocaine addiction throughout the '80s that sent him to rehab in 1990 he grew up in the '60s and '70s when "there was a completely different attitude" towards the drug I was basically doing cocaine pretty much on a daily basis during the '80s," he admitted in 2018 many a night screaming at God to 'Please take this away from me and I'll never do it again cause I've only got an hour before I have to be at work.' Then at 4 o'clock in the afternoon I'd go 'Oh it's not so bad.'" "I had what I call a white light experience where I saw myself either dead or losing everything that meant anything to me," he continued He had to sit down then-fiancée Meg Ryan and explain what was going on "That was the end of the love affair with me and cocaine." After an incident in Newport Beach where the Olympic swimmer tried to kick in his own hotel room door, Lochte made the decision to seek treatment in 2018 "Ryan has been battling from alcohol addiction for many years and unfortunately it has become a destructive pattern for him," his rep told E "He has acknowledged that he needs professional assistance to overcome his problem and will be getting help immediately." "Ryan knows that conquering this disease now is a must for him to avoid making future poor decisions to be the best husband and father he can be and if he wants to achieve his goal to return to dominance in the pool in his 5th Olympics in Tokyo in 2020," the statement concluded Although the Parenthood alum knows that "one of the things that you're not supposed to do is get sober for somebody else," his relationship with now-wife Melanie Lynskey was a major reason that led him to swearing off alcohol "At a point, I knew how amazing she was and I thought she would be incredible for someone who deserved her," he explained during a March 2023 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show "and I didn't feel like I was that person However, as Ritter noted to E! News, he now sees that sobriety is ultimately a personal choice "It was easier for me to say that I'm doing it for her because I didn't feel like I was sort of worth much," he recalled of the early days of their relationship "I didn't care as much about hurting myself as I did about hurting her 'I'm doing this for her.' And now "every hour and a half to two hours it'd be time to get two or three good pulls on the bottle And every three or four hours it's time for a pill or two."  "It wasn't like I was stumbling around all day," he admitted "I was fully functioning — I wrote more songs then than I do now he was hospitalized with pancreatitis and was told that if he didn't stop drinking "I still put it off and was trying to slow down on my own 'All right I'm only gonna let myself take two pills today I'm only gonna drink this much of my bottle and make a mark on the bottle,'" he recalled "And it would work a couple days—and then somebody throws a party." "I got to the point where I knew it was something I couldn't do on my own," Gilbert said "Pissed me off to no end and embarrassed me I'm a pretty strong-willed person but that was the one thing in my life that I couldn't get to stick." I think it’s officially safe to say Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo’s breakup has gotten more attention than their entire relationship During Craig’s February 6 appearance on Watch Watch Happens Live with Andy Cohen the secret drinking word of the night was “Paige,” so I absolutely knew some shit was about to be talked but the harshest thing he says about Paige in the interview is that she’s not a dog person And, not to, like, clap when a man speaks or something, but with the amount Paige has been yapping online about ditching Craigy for the single life, this was an enlightening conversation that kind of needed to happen. Here’s everything Craig said about Paige on WWHL Image Credit: Getty Images Buckle up because the tea is…respectful Craig said that he’s doing well “to [Paige’s] credit” because “he’s a better version of himself than when they first started to date.” With his new healthier mindset (AKA not “drinking a ton” and acting like a man-child with his Southern Charm bros) Craig understands that “when someone breaks up with you you got to keep living your life.” Wow this is deffo not the man who wouldn’t let Naomi breathe for like year post-relationship Paige was the one who broke up with him after Andy asked the question point blank but that doesn’t make it any nicer to hear Craig summarized that the grief stems from his “favorite person in the universe [becoming] a lesson” instead of a soulmate Image Credit: Getty Images When Andy asked Craig to confirm Paige had cheated “physically or emotionally” (as she proclaimed on The Giggly Squad) Craig refused to answer!? Craig said he’s “the ex-boyfriend now moving on with his life” who is “not going to get sucked into the mud with her cast.” This comment was in response to heat from Ciara and Amanda who said Craig “sent the dogs” on Paige by staying silent because “he likes sympathy.” (Lol pause… are the Bravo fans commenting on social media these big bad dogs Amanda speaks of? Since Craig “never said she cheated” (and he later noted that Austen didn’t imply cheating either) he’s not going to “get on Reddit” and defend Paige about it especially because Paige said the breakup was mutual and that “neither” party was blindsided when Craig firmly believes that wasn’t the case Image Credit: Getty Images No, according to Craig, he was always faithful before, during, and even after the breakup. Craig said Paige “upset a lot of [their] mutual friends” by suggesting Craig was acting like a “single person” during his NYE trip to Aspen Craig says he was actually not chatting up girls because “the only thing [he] did in Aspen…was talk about [his] breakup because [he] couldn’t believe it was happening.” Image Credit: Getty Images Paige called Craig after Thanksgiving with her family to say “I think we need to break up,” while he was touring in Toronto so Craig “had no reason to think she was serious” and assumed she was “having a breakdown.” Craig teased that there were “things we’ll find out” as to why he wasn’t aware the Thanksgiving convo was a final breakup elaborating that Andy “knows a lot of a stuff that we’re not going to talk about tonight.” Fast forward three minutes and Craig did end up talking about it that night (lol) sharing that he didn’t think Paige was serious about the breakup because “two weeks prior” they discussed their future wedding a trip to Europe for New Year’s Eve (which Craig booked and “lost money on”) plans for Craig to move to New York (which Andy Cohen apparently knew about) and had reaffirmed a weekly promise to “never break up.” Craig’s December 2024 WWHL appearance (where he denied the rumors that had been brewing since summer) was one week after the phone call and in that week Paige had told Craig she missed him It wasn’t until they met up in person that night that she made it clear she was v serious about calling it quits So, from Craig’s POV, he wasn’t lying his ass off over the Southern Charm press tour at the end of 2024 when he insisted the breakup rumors weren’t true This is the opposite of Paige’s perspective where she says she only pretended they were still together while doing press to “respect Craig’s wishes” (an ask Craig says never happened) Image Credit: Getty Images They did not break up because of being long-distance or “wanting different things,” at least from where Craig is sitting He told Andy Cohen that Paige “wanted other people and that’s fine” but Craig isn’t going to pretend he was on the same page (sorry had to do it once) about their relationship ending because in his mind “love is enough.” Meaning that if you truly love someone (especially after three years) “you’ll make it work,” and logistics nor timing won’t make that love go away © 2025 Betches All rights reserved Southern Charm's Craig Conover shared how keeping his drinking problem a secret hurt his friendship with Austen Kroll plus how coming clean about his addiction recovery brought them closer together Craig Conover has a new lease on life after tackling his drinking problem In fact, after getting candid for the first time publicly about battling alcohol addiction during Southern Charm's March 6 episode the Bravo star revealed why he waited so long to tell BFF Austen Kroll—and the world—about his private recovery journey "It never even crossed my mind that Austen's theory was that I was doing it for disingenuous reasons," the Sewing Down South founder recalled of his newly sober lifestyle during the show's March 6 After Show "That I was trying to appear better than I was there's a huge disconnect here.'" But when Craig's secret put the longtime costars' friendship at stake Craig finally decided to tell his Pillows and Beer podcast cohost the truth about his alcohol issues As Austen recounted during the BravoTV.com digital series 'I have an addiction problem,' and that stopped me in my tracks." Craig's private journey to clean up his act proved to be the missing puzzle piece in their recently fractured relationship you don't realize that I'm actually trying to change my life," Craig recalled of his decision to open up to Austen on the latest episode "He thought I was just doing it to look better And once I realized that I opened up to him because I finally understood it Or pretty much.' I still don't like saying that word because I don't understand it that much "'I'm sorry that I haven't told you,'" to which he reacted However, Craig—who acknowledged how then-girlfriend Paige DeSorbo helped him through his addiction—admitted he probably should have shared his struggles sooner I had never really talked about it with anyone but my parents and Paige," the 36-year-old noted of Austen 'It's not weak.' It does." and I couldn't control that," Craig continued "And for the sake of my relationship and my life and my business I made a decision to try to get better and try to change my relationship with alcohol It allowed me to—instead of yelling at each other or calling each other names that we didn't realize——to be like 'I didn't realize I never told you my story.' And maybe that's on me." As for how the candid conversation improved the Charleston natives' friendship "We're definitely on the up and up instead of down," Craig admitted I want to work on being best friends again and getting to that trust level and I want you to know I really couldn't tell you about this stuff.' And he's like 'I agree.' I think he's in a better place in his life and we're working on our new normal."
