Paige DeSorbo who?
Shep Rose claimed he did not “get to know” DeSorbo despite the “Summer House” star dating his “Southern Charm” castmate Craig Conover for three years.
“[We hung out] once or twice,” he said in Tuesday’s episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast.

Rose, 44, alleged that his and Conover’s pal Austen Kroll could say the same — not counting his time with DeSorbo, 32, on “Winter House.”
While discussing DeSorbo and Conover’s 2024 breakup, Rose dissed the “Giggly Squad” co-host for not joining any “Southern Charm” cast trips over the years.
“I’m not the only one who felt that way,” he said. “That goes up and down the food chain with our show. … I thought it would be interesting if she went on a girls’ lunch with the girls … in the spirit of Bravo.”

Rose’s statement echoed the shade he threw at DeSorbo during the show’s Season 10 finale earlier this month.
At the time, he called the fashionista’s absence from group vacations “f–king bulls–t.”
Rose said, “I couldn’t get away with that if I had a girlfriend, I’ll tell you that much.”

However, Rose acknowledged in Tuesday’s interview that maybe DeSorbo and Conover, 37, were “smart” to “curate” their time together, as reality TV couples tend to “end terribly.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Rose explained why he does not believe Conover has a “misogynistic bone in his entire body” despite being a “traditionalist” when it comes to dating.
“A lot of women would absolutely jump at that,” he clapped back when host Amanda Hirsch said his best friend wanted “housewife vibes” in his partners. “They were on different pages. … That’s not a crime.”

As for DeSorbo’s claim on “Summer House” last week that Conover was a “secret hater” of her career, Rose brushed off her “flimsy” side of the story.
DeSorbo and Conover met in 2021 while filming “Winter House” and began dating later that year.
Since their split made headlines, DeSorbo has been spotted with a new man — and her ex shocked “Watch What Happens Live” host Andy Cohen last week by divulging he is dating someone new, who was later identified as influencer Natalie Buffett.
