Paige DeSorbo was in full protector mode after Kyle Cooke sent her a rage text during the latest episode of Summer House.
“Now I’ve gotten to the point where you f—d with my best friend. Now you’re f—ing with my boyfriend [Craig],” Paige, 32, said about Kyle, 42, during the Wednesday, February 26, episode of the Bravo series. “You disrespect me. Think you can text me anything you want. F— you!”
She then quipped, “You’re lucky I don’t buy Loverboy and f—ing sell it.”
Paige’s comments came after she revealed earlier in the episode that she received a “bit of rage texting” from Kyle that week about her “best friend” Hannah Berner and her then-boyfriend Craig Conover. (Paige and Craig, 36, called it quits in November 2024 after three years.)
Summer House's Paige Calls Kyle a 'Little F—king Boy' Who Won't Compromise
Paige told the cameras that the text allegedly attacked Craig because Kyle was “mad because [Craig] signed a deal to do some ad with another drink company.”
According to a screenshot of the exchange, Kyle wrote he was “beyond discouraged” with Craig, claiming that the Southern Charm star’s choice to partner with Spritz Society in spring 2024 didn’t sit well with him. (Kyle owns the alcohol company Loverboy, which he claimed Craig knew had a spritz collection but still invested in the rival company.)
“This wouldn’t be a topic today if it wasn’t for him and about a dozen lies,” Kyle allegedly texted Paige regarding Craig.
Paige then noted that Kyle’s negative remarks about Hannah, who he feuded with for years before her Summer House exit, were “because she was on a podcast just being Hannah.” (Hannah, 33, claimed on a 2024 podcast that Kyle attributed to her getting fired from the Bravo show.)
Paige was taken aback by the whole ordeal, saying, “I’m just getting yelled at.” She then shared the text thread with pal Ciara Miller and started to fume while reliving it.
“What the f—? You have both of their numbers,” Paige said of Kyle, telling Ciara, 29, that he should “be an adult” and text the person he is actually mad at.

Paige explained that Kyle “trying to put me in the middle of it” is “absolutely insane.” Ciara was firmly team Paige, telling her, “The other thing that’s annoying to me is Kyle’s thinking that everyone has to have this allegiance to him.”
Paige then went off about Kyle, claiming that he has never “supported a single thing” that she’s done, while she has been very loyal to him.
“I’ve drank your drink for seven f—ing years. I’ve come to your dumbass f—ing events,” Paige quipped. “The only reason I came here tonight is so that someone kept his wife company while he pretends to be Diplo, like, please.” (Kyle is married to Amanda Batula.)
When Paige and Ciara reunited in the Hamptons for another weekend, Paige said that Kyle did text her about his rage message. “He just goes, ‘Sorry about all those texts earlier.’ I was just like, ‘Alright,’” Paige alleged.
Paige then confessed that Craig did “not want” to be Kyle’s friend amid his accusations. “He feels uncomfortable even coming to the house,” Paige said of her then-boyfriend.
“You crossed a f—ing line,” she said of Kyle, noting he shouldn’t have called her to “vent” about Amanda, 33, and then “three weeks later think you can text me whatever the f— you want.”

Paige later compared Kyle to a “dad” who was reprimanding his daughter for the sins of her friends.
“[He was] like, ‘If those are your friends and they’re doing bad things then so are you.’ And it’s like, ‘Dad, I don’t smoke weed. I didn’t do it,’” she said in confessional, pointing out, “I didn’t go on a podcast and talk about you. I didn’t join a spritz company and post about it.”
Paige questioned, “Why and I getting yelled at on a Thursday morning at 9:30 [a.m.]? I already don’t want to be awake.”
She told Ciara that Kyle is “lucky he’s married to the woman he’s married to,” adding that her friendship with Amanda is the “only reason I don’t go up one f—ing side of him and down the other.”
Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Octomom Nadya Suleman’s 14 children have a lot to say in the new trailer for the upcoming docuseries Confessions of Octomom.
“At the time my mom was getting a lot of death threats,” one of Suleman’s daughters claimed to the cameras in the Wednesday, February 26, trailer for the upcoming Lifetime series which premieres on Monday, March 10.
Later in the teaser, one of Suleman’s sons also could be seen sitting down with producers, and shared what it’s been like when his classmates approach him about his mother’s past experience in the adult entertainment industry. (Suleman previously worked as a stripper in men’s clubs and did an adult film.)
“When someone comes up to you at school and asks you, ‘Is your mom a stripper?’ You don’t know what to say,” the son reflected.
Octomom Nadya Suleman's Kids to Speak for '1st Time' in New Docuseries
At one point in the trailer, all of Suleman’s children gathered on a couch to reveal what their mom had told them about what she went through to welcome them all.
“Our mom talks often about the story, how it all started,” her kids say, all chiming in. “It wasn’t how everyone thinks it was. My mom did everything in her power to protect her kids.”
They continued: “The main reason why we’re doing all this is to get the truth out there.”
Suleman rose to fame in 2009 after she got pregnant with octuplets with IVF. She welcomed Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Jonah, Makai, Josiah and Jeremiah that same year. Suleman is also the mother of six older children: Elijah (born in 2001), Amerah (born in 2002), Joshua (born in 2003), Aiden (born in 2005) and fraternal twins Calyssa and Caleb (born in 2006.)
In addition to her children speaking out, Suleman is also coming forward to share her side of the story.
“I’d love to explain what happened and why I became Octomom. I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I wanted a big family,” she said. “When I set my mind to achieving a goal, you know, I achieve that goal. I think I may have overachieved with being a mom, though, a little too much there.”

Two years after giving birth, the California Medical Board learned that Suleman’s fertility doctor had allegedly transferred 12 embryos into her uterus instead of the six she reportedly requested. The professional’s medical license was revoked in 2011.
Suleman shared that she met the medical professional while seeking treatment for endometriosis. At one point in the trailer, a person claimed that Suleman was aware of how many embryos the doctor transferred. The camera then flashed to Suleman as an interviewer asked if she did know. As Suleman prepared to answer the question, the scene cut.
In addition to testimony from Suleman and her children, the sperm donor for the eight children will also come forward in the documentary after remaining anonymous after all these years.
Confessions of Octomom premieres on Lifetime Monday, March 10.

Despite being voted ‘Least Likely to Succeed’ by his acting school classmates, Hackman became one of the greatest actors of our age, writes Martin Chilton
Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has no regrets about refusing to sign an NDA following her breakup with Zach Bryan.
The Barstool Sports personality recently claimed that the country singer offered her $12 million to sign an NDA, ensuring that she would never publicly speak about their past relationship. (Us Weekly has reached out to Bryan’s team multiple times for comment.)
On Tuesday, February 25, TMZ approached LaPaglia, 25, at Los Angeles International Airport and asked whether she regretted not signing the document — and taking the money.
“No, no, no, no,” she told the outlet. “That’s, like, devil’s money. I don’t want someone else’s money.”
Brianna Chickenfry Talks ‘Right Decision’ Speaking About Alleged Abuse
When a TMZ reporter said that $12 million was a lot of money, she replied, “Yeah, I know, but that’s OK. I’ll make my own money. Twelve million’s kind of excessive. What am I gonna do with that?”
LaPaglia was also asked about her current dating situation.
“I don’t really have time for a boyfriend,” she said, noting that she’s “too busy” to date.
She said she’d like to meet someone who’s “hardworking” and “just nice” — but he can’t be a musician, as she’ll “never” date another. When the TMZ reporter asked whether she’d consider “someone who works at Burger King,” she responded, “I’m not opposed to it. I’m not opposed to anybody at this point!”
Brianna Chickenfry Claims She Knows Which of Zach Bryan’s Exes Signed NDAs
LaPaglia and Bryan dated for a little over a year before the “Pink Skies” singer announced in October 2024 that they had split. The podcaster has since spoken out against her ex, alleging that she was emotionally abused during their relationship.
Last month, LaPaglia was hooked up to a lie detector test during an episode of her “BFFs” podcast when cohost Josh Richards questioned her about Bryan.
“Do you know if Zach’s exes signed NDAs?” Richards, 23, asked. LaPaglia replied, “Yes.”
Richards followed up by asking whether LaPaglia knew “which exes” signed the paperwork.

“I know two exes signed NDAs,” she replied, ending the conversation without naming names.
Prior to LaPaglia, Bryan was in two semi-public relationships. He married Rose Madden in 2020 but filed for divorce the following year. Bryan went public with Deb Peifer that same year. He announced their breakup in May 2023 and moved on with LaPaglia shortly afterward.
LaPaglia revealed in November 2024 that she and Madden had FaceTimed.
“I f—ing love her. I’ve never felt more seen and validated in my life,” LaPaglia said on the “BFFs” podcast at the time. “Oh, my gosh. She’s a great person.”

We were doing improv when it was still called playing pretend to get laughs. She was a master of the clothespin game, tagging any and everyone she could. She once got upset when I got my 1st bass on set because I wouldn’t hang out during lunch. She hid the cable so I couldn’t play through the amp. I got the message. She was a bright light, firecracker and caring person who spent a lot of time and effort advocating for people who needed a louder voice. Michelle was someone to look up to in this business and to the general world at large. She will be missed. All my love, sympathy and compassion to Lana, Irene and the rest of her family and friends.

You knew when she entered a room because the vibration changed,” the It Ends With Us actress wrote alongside a photo of the duo on set of The CW series. “Everything she did, she did 200%. She laughed the fullest at someone’s joke, she faced authority head on when she felt something was wrong, she cared deeply about her work, she was proud to be a part of this community and industry as painful as it could be sometimes, she was fiercely loyal to her friends and brave for those she loved, she was big and bold and distinctly herself.”
Lively continued, “You take for granted that you get the chance to see an old friend. To paraphrase, the real tragedies in life are the ones that blindside you on an idle Tuesday. Hold those you love and have loved dear. The world lost a deeply sensitive and good person in Michelle. May her work and her huge heart be remembered by those who were lucky enough to experience her fire.”
‘Gossip Girl’ Cast and Crew Pay Tribute to Late Michelle Trachtenberg
Trachtenberg’s childhood boyfriend, also a former kid actor, mourned Trachtenberg in a statement shared via Instagram. “I just heard the news about Michelle and I’m in shock,” he wrote, noting that he met the late actress when they starred together on a ’90s sitcom called Dave’s World. “I was so nervous to meet her, and the second she stepped on set my feelings for her grew tenfold…also, even though my Mom somehow pulled out the most classic of Mom moves – showing literal baby photos of me to Michelle’s mother (of course Michelle walked up WHILE THIS HUMILIATION WAS OCCURRING) – she and I developed a truly deep and special connection. Within a few weeks, we were boyfriend and girlfriend (I know, I still can’t believe it either).”
He went on to describe Trachtenberg as his “first love,” adding, “For her birthday a few months later, my Dad helped me record a version of the Beatles’ ‘Michelle’ which we played over the loudspeakers at her birthday party at The Oakwoods. She ran out of the party half-embarrassed-half-smitten (as kids do) but later revealed how much that meant to her.”
Carney noted that he’d last spoken to her in late 2024, writing, “There’s no other way to say it other than that she was my first love (and I may have been hers, as well…) I loved her brain, her wit, her seemingly unlimited energy, her effortless beauty, her loyalty and how every room she entered became precisely *infinity percent* more fun, just because she was in it. So many others have much more to say, but I just wanted to share how much I adored Michelle and how sad I am to know that I won’t be able to laugh or reminisce with her anymore. She was such a unique treasure of a soul and she will be unbelievably missed by the Carney/Heil household. We love you forever Michelle and our hearts go out to the entire Trachtenberg family .”
The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant is reacting to costar Karen Huger’s recent jail sentence.
“I am shook,” Bryant, 54, said during her Gizelle 21 Shady Questions Live at City Winery event on Wednesday, February 26. “This just happened today. I do not have her wigs. I am concerned. In all seriousness, I am concerned for her safety. Karen ain’t cut out for jail.”
She added, “I pray that she’s OK and that the Lord is with her.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Huger was sentenced to two years in jail with one year suspended, meaning she will spend one year behind bars. She was ordered to report directly to police custody.
RHOP’s Karen Huger Found Guilty in DUI Trial After Car Accident
The Bravo personality had been charged with a DUI, a DWI and reckless driving after a March 2024 car accident. She was found guilty on nearly all charges — except the count of driving recklessly — in December 2024.
“Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case,” Huger’s lawyer A. Scott Bolden said in a statement at the time. “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”
During Wednesday’s hearing, Huger’s attorney further claimed that the “overuse of prescription medicine” had caused the traffic incident.
Following the trial, Huger opted to skip the RHOP reunion in January in order to seek help at an in-treatment recovery program.
“She was fully supported in this choice,” Huger’s rep said in a statement. “We stand behind Karen as she embarks on this meaningful journey and are proud of her for taking such a significant step forward in her personal growth.”
The Bravo star also recorded a message that aired during the reunion, in which she took accountability for her actions.
Karen Huger Told Police She Was 'Thomas Jefferson's Concubine' After Crash
“No, I’m not an alcoholic, let’s be clear,” Huger said in the pretaped footage. “This is very frightening, but I accept full responsibility for everything that went on with my car accident. I don’t care about me right now. I care about my children, I care about my family. They are so hurt.”
Huger had maintained her innocence throughout the incident. Shortly after the accident, she called the ordeal “very frightening.”
“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last nights incident, but grateful to be alive today,” Huger wrote in a March 2024 statement. “With the passing of my Beloved Mother, Grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mothers Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami. Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me.”
She added at the time, “I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away.”
