Wedding Drama: Craig Conover Kicked Out of Batula’s Reception
NEW JERSEY — Paige DeSorbo revealed shocking details about her ex-boyfriend Craig Conover‘s behavior at Amanda Batula‘s wedding in 2021 during the Season 9 reunion of Summer House.
On June 4, 2024, DeSorbo stated that Conover was “asked not to return to the backyard” of the Batula family’s home after he allegedly caused a scene at the reception. “The next morning I woke up and I was like, ‘You have to apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Batula.’ And he absolutely refused,” DeSorbo said, recounting her mortification over the incident.
She described Conover’s conduct as belligerently drunk, claiming he was yelling, kicking tables, and ignoring requests from the Batulas for guests to stay outside. Amanda Batula also confirmed the events, stating, “Craig was told to leave our property.”
DeSorbo later texted the Batulas to apologize for Conover’s behavior. “He acted like an entitled brat at the wedding and he was an embarrassment,” she remarked.
Rumors about the altercation have circulated for years, with DeSorbo previously accusing a former cast member of leaking the story. Conover, however, has denied the claims, insisting the rumors are “made up” and stating, “It was a filmed event. I think if I was kicked out, we would’ve seen it on TV.”
Still, Kyle Cooke, who married Amanda Batula, confirmed that Conover was indeed kicked out. He stated, “Make no mistake, the guy got kicked out of my wedding. He continues to lie about that.”
DeSorbo, who ended her relationship with Conover in November 2024, said she felt uncomfortable lying to protect him during their time together. “I’ve never had to lie in my entire life until I started dating him,” she admitted at the reunion.
As the gossip around the wedding incident resurfaced, fans and cast members reflected on the tumultuous relationship between DeSorbo and Conover. Although DeSorbo has moved on post-breakup, she continues to share her experiences from the relationship on social media.
Summer House Season 9 is currently streaming on Peacock.
