Paige DeSorbo and her friends aren't the only ones getting messy about her breakup from Craig Conover. Now, Southern Charm's Shep Rose has called out Paige DeSorbo for some of her behavior in their relationship -- and Craig Conover is sharing more details in how their breakup went down.
Shep Rose says he "couldn't get away with" what Paige DeSorbo did while she dated Craig Conover
Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's relationship breakdown has been playing out on both Southern Charm and Summer House in each show's respective latest season. In the Southern Charm finale, Shep Rose spoke up about his feelings about their relationship -- and he didn't exactly have nice things to say about Paige DeSorbo.
"I'll say it. I'll say something. I think it's total f---ing bull---- that Paige didn't go on one single trip while they were dating," Shep Rose told co-star Austen Kroll during a conversation in the episode. He went on to say that he couldn't "get away with" doing the same if he had a girlfriend of his own and Austen Kroll trying to explain away her skipping out on the trips didn't seem to change his mind.
Flashback clips showed Paige DeSorbo having other work obligations that were scheduled at the same time as Southern Charm cast trips, meaning that she had to skip out on them in order to fulfill work obligations, but Shep Rose wasn't hearing it.
Instead, Shep Rose said it's "incomprehensible" that she would choose other appearances instead of filming with her boyfriend.
Considering so much of each show's latest season has been focused on the way that Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's personal values and work schedules clashed, it's not a surprise to fans that her having to skip Southern Charm trips left a bad taste in the mouth of Craig Conover's co-stars.
Craig Conover says everything was fine before Paige DeSorbo broke up with him over the phone
Paige DeSorbo confirmed that she and Craig Conover had broken up just before New Year's Eve in 2024 and now, Craig Conover has confirmed that the two of them broke up between Thanksgiving and Christmas of that same year.
According to her Southern Charm ex-boyfriend, things had been just fine prior to their breakup and he says that he was blindsided by the breakup happening.
Considering what Paige DeSorbo has been saying about how "embarrassing" it was to have Craig Conover consistently making things about himself and downplaying her personal achievements, it seems like the shock of the breakup coming wasn't mutual.
During the first of the two-part Southern Charm finale, Craig Conover opened up about his breakup and shared more details about the timeline and why it took him by surprise.
"Paige and I had a great Thanksgiving together. Like, everything was normal at her parents', like, our chemistry and everything," Craig Conover said during the episode and went on to say that Paige DeSorbo called him before Christmas to end their relationship. "Then a couple weeks later she called me and was like, 'We gotta talk.'"
