Tensions Escalate Between Southern Charm and Summer House at BravoCon
The rivalry between the casts of *Southern Charm* and *Summer House* reached a new peak during a recent event at BravoCon. On November 19, 2023, stars from both shows participated in a live taping hosted by Andy Cohen, where the absence of *Southern Charm* star Craig Conover became a focal point of discussion.
During the event, Cohen raised the issue of the ongoing tensions, particularly following the breakup between Conover and *Summer House* star Paige DeSorbo last December. The atmosphere was charged as *Summer House* cast member Carl Radke pointed out Conover’s absence, stating, “I think we won. You guys are missing one key person over there.” This remark highlighted the competitive dynamic between the two groups, which has fueled public interest and online debate since the breakup.
Conover’s close friend, Austen Kroll, attempted to defend his co-star but struggled to provide clarity on the situation. “I mean, I would say that a lot of the beef is involved with someone who’s not here. I don’t know what to say,” Kroll remarked, indicating the complexities of the ongoing conflict.
The sentiment of the *Summer House* cast was clear, with Lindsay Hubbard proclaiming her team’s allegiance to DeSorbo. She inquired whether fellow cast members Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller had encountered Conover during BravoCon. Batula responded, “He’s been in hiding as far as I know,” while Miller added, “He won’t even look our direction.” This characterization of Conover’s behavior suggests a deepening divide that has emerged since the breakup.
In a conversation with DECIDER, Hubbard recounted a tense encounter with Conover the night before, expressing her apprehension about engaging with him. “I wound up face-to-face with Craig last night, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What do I do? Do I have to talk to this guy?’” she shared. Despite the awkwardness, she acknowledged a superficial compliment about Conover’s hairstyle, indicating the unusual social dynamics at play.
The ongoing feud between the two casts shows no signs of resolution. Hubbard concluded, “It’s not over until Kyle [Cooke] sings,” underscoring the competitive spirit that continues to define their interactions.
BravoCon continues to air episodes of *Watch What Happens Live* from Sunday through Thursday at 22:00 ET, with new episodes available for streaming the following day on Peacock. As the rivalry unfolds, fans are left eagerly anticipating the next developments in this entertaining saga.
