Forget about a woman scorned. Kyle Cooke’s contempt is the real concern. However the dynamic changed within the cast when Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke started dating, it’s been most apparent between the two guys.
Kyle is also defending his wife, Amanda Batula, amid her issues with Lindsay. The publicist often behaved in her own self-interests, but it never rubbed off on the group as much as it has in Season 7. Clearly, it’s the issue of Carl’s involvement with her.
Little does the cast know, but Carl is poised to propose to the publicist. The incident was filmed in August 2022 for Summer House’s current season. So the stakes are even higher to smooth the waters before Lindsay and Carl sail off into the sunset.
According to Page Six, Carl thinks his fiancée is owed apologies from multiple cast members. No one got around to it during filming, so Carl is expecting it to happen at the reunion. At the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Carl told Page Six, “I think people owe Lindsay an apology for blaming her for a lot of things that actually aren’t her fault.”

One bone of contention involved Kyle and Amanda’s alcohol company Loverboy. Carl left the company after working there for three years. A wise decision for someone living sober, and one that Lindsay was “supporting” last summer.
Carl feels the “blame” should be put on him and not transferred to Lindsay. However, the cast expressed concern that the publicist “changed” him too much. “She didn’t do anything wrong,” Carl said. “So I’m looking forward to hearing some apology for her [and] for [people] blaming her all the time.”
“At this point, are we really surprised that this has been happening? Like, no, I get blamed for everything,” Lindsay told Page Six. “They gang up on me.” She noticed the trend in “the last couple of seasons” of Summer House. Not that things were better during the rest of the year. The publicist felt the same way when she joined Winter House with Carl for a weekend.
“It’s just like, you know it’s par for the course. Is anyone shocked?” Lindsay said. Carl suggested the cast figure out the “deep-rooted resentment” that they “clearly” have for Lindsay. He thinks it’s for the best of the show, but who isn’t enjoying all the drama? Carl clearly doesn’t understand how reality TV works.
Supposedly, Carl and Kyle temporarily resolved their issues before Season 7 premiered. It was short-lived though. The Loverboy founder trashed Lindsay again on Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea podcast last month. He called the publicist the “most calculated person” that he knows.
Cheers to another Hot-Hubb summer with no clear resolution.
