Paige DeSorbo seemingly shaded Craig Conover by “liking” a savage Instagram post after their breakup.
The “Summer House” star double-tapped a Jan. 22 post by a meme account that read, “i’m so bummed to be single. how will i ever find another guy who brings absolutely nothing to the table.”
Fans quickly noticed DeSorbo’s social media activity and flocked to X to share mixed reactions.
“She just liked a meme. Maybe she wasn’t even thinking about him! 😂 😂 😂,” one person wrote.
“Seems like a reach. Let the girl like a funny meme- doesn’t necessarily have ANYTHING to do with Craig. People want to hate Paige so bad, it’s wild,” another defender chimed in.
“She just might be liking ‘single’ posts, i don’t think she’s necessarily talking about Craig,” someone else speculated.
“Oh so the break up wasn’t mutual lol,” another user commented on X.
Conover’s rep didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment.
DeSorbo, 32, announced in the Dec. 30 episode of her podcast, “Giggly Squad,” that she and Conover, 36, had broken up after three years together.
At the time, she explained that she still had “so much love and respect” for him and called him “one of the best people.”
However, the “narrative” took a turn “really quickly” after DeSorbo faced “baseless” rumors that she had cheated on Conover.
“I never, in the three years that I dated my ex-boyfriend, I never physically cheated on him, emotionally cheated on him,” she clarified in Monday’s episode of “Giggly Squad.”
The fashionista further claimed that she had asked Conover to squash the rumors, but he chose not to publicly speak up about the speculation.
“So any of the other baseless rumors … that have my name in them, they are not true,” she reiterated.
DeSorbo also clarified the timeline of their split, sharing that they called it quits over Thanksgiving weekend, but she gave him a month to process it before her public announcement.
“Craig then went on and did press for ‘Southern Charm,’ did whatever he needed to do, acting as if we were still together,” she explained. “And that was fine. I said that he could do that. He was processing in his own way.”
Conover has yet to address any of DeSorbo’s new comments, and he has remained mostly tight-lipped about the breakup.
He only briefly touched on it in an Instagram Story video in which he claimed they separated “right before the holidays.”
“This has all been very, very unexpected to say the least. But I guess life has to … I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like, whatever my new normal looks like, I have to start,” he said Jan. 7.
The Sewing Down South founder said he was “very shocked” and was “still processing” the split.
“It takes two people to be in a relationship, and you can’t control other people. You can only control how you react to it, so,” he said.
