Amanda Batula is showing her support for Paige DeSorbo following DeSorbo’s breakup with Craig Conover. In a recent appearance on the podcast “Virtual Reali-Tea,” Batula expressed her frustration over Conover’s decision to remain silent amidst rumors suggesting that DeSorbo may have cheated.
Batula, who is 33 years old, criticized Conover for not standing up for DeSorbo, who was his girlfriend for three years. “To not clear up any of the cheating rumors is insane,” Batula remarked, emphasizing that he should have defended her. She made it clear that despite the speculation surrounding the split, it was important for Conover to take a stand, saying, “He’s been silent.”
During a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Austen Kroll, a friend of Conover’s from “Southern Charm,” claimed that DeSorbo has already moved on with someone else following their breakup. Kroll suggested that these weren’t mere rumors, but rather confirmed truths that Conover is aware of. His comments sparked further speculation about the nature of DeSorbo’s new relationships.
DeSorbo, aged 32, took to Instagram to respond to Kroll’s remarks with a hint of humor, pointing out that he couldn’t possibly know what she was up to since the two hadn’t spoken in six months. This public back-and-forth highlights the complicated dynamics of their friend group and the pressures of being in the spotlight.
Reflecting on the breakup, DeSorbo mentioned that there was no animosity between them. “No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she recalled, indicating that their decision to part ways was mutual and made out of maturity. She emphasized the power of communication in relationships, noting that both of them expressed their desires and needs honestly.
Conversely, Conover revealed that he was “very shocked” by the unexpected split. He took to social media to express his surprise, and subsequently unfollowed DeSorbo, further indicating the emotional turmoil surrounding the end of their relationship.
Batula continues to stand behind DeSorbo, stating that she was aware of discussions between the couple that hinted the relationship had been on shaky ground. Despite the supposed maturity in their relationship, she remarked on how the leading narrative seemed to have turned against DeSorbo. “Craig was just … he sent the dogs after her,” Batula added, criticizing Conover for not defending his ex from the swirling rumors.
Now, as DeSorbo’s current dating life remains uncertain, Conover seems set to explore new romantic options. Reports suggest he has joined a dating app popular among celebrities, prompting Batula to sarcastically remark that those prospective matches should consider themselves lucky. “Good luck!” she added with a hint of irony regarding Conover’s foray back into dating.
As all this drama unfolds, fans of “Summer House” are keen to see how these developments play out in the upcoming season, which is set to premiere on February 12. The show’s return promises to delve deeper into the realities of relationships among its stars, with Batula and DeSorbo’s friendship likely remaining a focal point amid the tensions of their latest experiences.
With everything happening in the lives of these young stars, viewers cannot help but wonder how public scrutiny impacts personal relationships. In this age of social media and instant news, the intricacies of love and friendship are often tested under the spotlight. As Amanda Batula continues to lend her support, it remains clear that the bonds forged among these individuals will be pivotal as they navigate their personal highs and lows in the upcoming season.
