Lindsay Hubbard is revealing more details about her sudden split from Carl Radke. According to the Summer House star, her ex-fiancé called up producers so he could break up with her on-camera — even though they had already wrapped filming for Season 8 of the hit Bravo reality show.
In a new interview with US Weekly, Hubbard said she was “blindsided” by Radke’s sudden decision to end their engagement just a few months before they were set to wed in Mexico. What’s worse is that the “whole world” learned of the breakup only moments after it had happened.
“It was absolutely humiliating,” Hubbard told the outlet. “It would’ve been one thing if this conversation happened over the summer during the normal filming schedule.”
She continued, “But for [Carl] to call up producers and then set up cameras and manipulate me into sitting down [so he could break up with me] after we’d already wrapped is scary. The whole world found out within 30 minutes of me.”
According to Hubbard, who celebrated her bridal shower just two weeks before calling off their wedding, there was nothing “drastic” that led to their split — even though insiders claim they were attending couples counseling ahead of the breakup, per Us Weekly.
“Every couple has normal arguments, but nothing that would’ve been so drastic as to break up,” Hubbard said. “It was literally the last two weeks of summer that his demeanor and tone changed. There was a lot of combativeness and aggression on his end, and I was very confused.”
The duo first met while filming the first season of Summer House in 2016. While they had a brief romance in Season 4, they didn’t officially become a couple until January 2022. One year after cameras captured their beach engagement for Season 7 of Summer House, the news broke that the wedding would not be moving forward.
“He blew up my entire life,” Hubbard told Us Weekly. “I was crying, I was angry, and I had to find closure on my own. Now I’m at a place where I feel really good about moving on.”
Hubbard is set to reunite with Radke at this weekend’s BravoCon, where the entire Summer House cast will appear on a panel to promote the show’s upcoming season.
