Looking back, Paige said that she and Hannah were “totally fine” with not being able to discuss Bravo because that was never their plan to begin with.
“We wanted it to be more pop culture. And so now people are kind of surprised if they find us from Bravo, because they’re like, they never talk about Bravo,” she continued. “And it’s like, well, we weren’t allowed to in the beginning, and now … it doesn’t really go with who we are … So it’s actually better that way.”
As for her one dispute with Hannah, Paige said it’s her co-host’s desire to stand with a certain side to the camera.
“She has to stand on a certain side, and it’s so diva, I can’t,” Paige complained. “We literally did the Vanity Fair Oscar party, and my dress had a side, and I was like, ‘Hannah, I have to stand on this side. Like, my dress.’ And she looked at me in the eye and she goes, ‘I’ll literally die.’”
Throughout the years, and after her late 2024 split from Craig Conover, 36, Paige has been faced with harsh criticism from fans. But as she’s gotten older, she’s learned how to better navigate through it.
“I’m very quick to, like, wanna defend myself of like, ‘Oh no, I didn’t make a mistake. You’re just not seeing it from my perspective. And like, what I meant to do was this or what I meant to say was this,’ and I feel like in my 30s I’ve, not mastered it at all, but I’ve worked harder to be like, ‘Not everyone is gonna like me and I don’t need everyone to like me,'” she explained. “That’s been a struggle. I think reality TV brought that up because really, like the human brain, I’m not supposed to see 200 people commenting how much they hate me … It’s none of my business.”
“[But] it’s painful [to be misunderstood],” she added.
Summer House season nine airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
