Summer House’s Kyle Cooke Slams Paige’s “Low Blow” Threat, Says She’s Seen the Real Craig, and Explains Turner’s Absence tram
Kyle Cooke reacted to Paige DeSorbo threatening to buy and sell his Loverboy business on Watch What Happens Live.
As he also commented on Craig Conover, 36, failing to squash the cheating rumors about Paige, 32, reflected on his rage text about Craig and Hannah Berner, 33, and weighed in on the interactions between Carl Radke, 40, and Lindsay Hubbard, 38, on Summer House, Kyle, 42, explained why Lindsay’s boyfriend, Turner Kufe, doesn’t film, and more.
“I was like, ‘Alright, do you need access to the data room? Have you started your due diligence? Can I expect an offer?’” Kyle recalled of Paige’s threat on the March 5 episode of WWHL. “She knows I work hard. It felt like a little bit of a low blow, but I’m sure she said it in the moment, and we move on.”
While Kyle and Paige butted heads amid filming on season nine, he agreed with Ciara Miller, 29, that it was unfair for Craig to refuse to defend her against rumors during his own appearance on WWHL.
“It kinda comes full circle cuz back then, in this past episode, Paige was obviously protecting her boyfriend. She got a little taste of what I dealt with, with how he handles press. He can squash things, but he lets the yarn unravel,” Kyle shared. “I actually agree with Ciara spot on because I’ve been on the receiving end of his PR tactics.”
Looking back on his text, Kyle explained why he took his anger out on Paige when he was really mad at Craig and Hannah.
“First of all, it was wrong of me to take it out on her. I thought our level of friendship, there’s trust and respect, and like, you can vent. And I also thought she would kind of understand where I’m coming from,” he noted. “I know she’s gonna defend them, obviously, it’s her boyfriend and her best friend and business partner, but I also think she knew they were lying.”
“I obviously never thought that would be such a point of contention. I addressed her at the party I was DJing, and she said, ‘We’re good. It’s okay. I get it.’ And that’s where I thought it was gonna leave off,” he added.
When Kyle was then accused of putting Amanda in a bad spot with the text, he pointed out that he was actually “biting [his] tongue” about Craig amid their feud.
“I did that for Paige and Amanda,” he insisted. “I felt horrible, and I didn’t want to repeat that, but ultimately, I have thick skin … I’m used to people saying what they will in the press and on podcasts. I never really retaliate … I tried to be as respectful as I could, but when my marriage and my business get brought up in the press and there’s a bunch of lies being spread, I kind of felt like I had a right to defend them.”
Speaking of Carl’s involvement with Lindsay’s gender reveal scavenger hunt, Kyle joked, “I didn’t even think about it. It was just like, this is what we do.”
As for Turner, Kyle described Lindsay’s partner as a “stand-up guy” who is “really educated.”
“[He] is in an incredible position in his career. I know lots of guys in finance that take the same stance on social and TV. Some banks literally don’t let you make an appearance on Summer House. So I get it,” he added of his absence on the show.
Also on WWHL, Kyle clapped back at Paige’s suggestion that he expects everyone to support his business endeavors even though he doesn’t support theirs.
“That’s not true,” he stated. “I mean, I know in the moment Paige said, ‘My book.’ I don’t think her book’s come out yet. Any opportunity I‘ve ever had to go support one of my cast members, I’m there. I think she was just heated in the moment.”
He then was asked to choose between Craig and Hannah, and he shared that he’d like to reconcile with both because he doesn’t like “this lingering beef.” He also revealed who he last rage texted.
“Actually, the last thing I texted Hannah was congrats on her success. All I did with Craig was just call out his lies,” he explained.
Vicky Pattison left on the brink of tears after harsh critique over ‘heavy’ routine from Strictly judges liennhi
VICKY Pattison was left on the brink of tears after a harsh critique over her 'heavy' routine from the Strictly judges.
Former Geordie Shore star Vicky, 37, is partnered with pro Kai Widdrington on the much loved dance show.
Vicky and Kai took to the dance floor with their version of a Cha-Cha from the party scene of the movie The Great Gatsby.
But, before the dance started Vicky said she would be dancing a lot by herself and "there was nowhere to hide."
She added: "This dance is fun and I just really hope I can turn all of the nervous energy into really nailing it."
The pair's lively routine was accompanied by cheers throughout their performance and the couple appeared very happy at the end of their dance.

However, things changed for the worse when they stood in front of the judges.
Craig Revel Horwood said: "I felt that you could be a little more extreme in every move...There was no double bounce which made it look a bit flat footed"
Oti Mabuse added: "Don't be disappointed, remember where you were three weeks ago.
Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo agreed but said: "I want more from you."
Shirley Ballas added: "There were no swivels and I'm not quite sure why it looked on the heavy side."
But Anton Du Beke said he enjoyed the performance and that she had such potential.
Vicky appeared near to tears as she listened to their comments and viewers noticed her brave face and took to social media.
One fan wrote: "Oh Vicky is breaking my heart."
Another added: “Oh don’t be so nervous!” after ripping the dance to shreds, some interesting judging choices tonight."
A third wrote: "First of all, reminding Vicky all the time that she’s a nervous person is just going to make her more nervous.
