After several seasons on Summer House, where she built a reputation as a witty, stylish staple of the cast, Paige DeSorbo now finds herself at a major crossroads. No longer is the issue merely about being caught in a compromising moment — behind the scenes, it’s becoming increasingly clear: Paige is seriously considering stepping away from the show, as tensions mount and her personal image is pulled into controversy.
According to sources close to the production team, Paige has had private conversations with producers following the release of photos showing her leaving the SoHo Grand Hotel with Liam K.—a man known to longtime viewers as someone who once had a vague, undefined relationship with Amanda Batula before she began dating Kyle Cooke. However, the motivation behind Paige’s potential exit goes deeper than the scandal itself. It stems from a growing sense of emotional exhaustion, discomfort, and distance within a cast that once felt like family.
The most painful fracture appears to be her friendship with Amanda Batula — once her closest ally on the show. Paige and Amanda were considered inseparable: sharing living spaces, attending events side-by-side, and offering each other unwavering support both on- and off-camera. But after the leaked hotel photos, Amanda quietly withdrew from group activities, avoided public comment, and, according to sources, was brought to tears upon learning about the situation online. No accusations were made, no dramatic confrontations aired — yet the silence between the two spoke volumes.
Meanwhile, Paige has opted for total silence as well. She’s avoided addressing the rumors, stayed out of filming sessions involving Amanda, and refrained from offering any explanation. Her social media presence remains active but strictly professional — focused on fashion and brand work, steering clear of personal matters. To producers, this behavior is raising serious concerns: Does Paige still want to be part of Summer House at all?
Behind the scenes, the word is: “She’s no longer invested. After the drama with Craig Conover, and now with tensions growing within the current cast, Paige feels like she’s outgrown the environment. What she’s asking herself now is: ‘Is staying even worth it anymore?’”
There’s no denying Summer House helped elevate Paige DeSorbo from a rising personality to a household Bravo name — a fashion icon with a sharp tongue and huge fan base. But that same platform is now forcing her to weigh the cost of staying visible in a space that may no longer serve her.
If Paige does walk away, it won’t just be a loss for the show — it will be a clear sign of the emotional toll reality TV can take. A world where friendships are fragile, trust is fleeting, and even the most beloved cast members can find themselves pushed to the edge.
