Kyle Cook doesn't think he's “an angry text” Page Desorbo when he kills her in a message that airs his complaints about her then boyfriend Craig Conover and her best friend Hannah Berner.
Cook defended the decision to vent “Summerhouse” co-stars to “Summerhouse” co-stars at a “virtual reality” event with hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy at Chelsea Table & Stage in New York City on Thursday.
“I think there's a little bit of “Rage Text” [bit] He told the audience.
Cook, 42, admitted that the message he sent to DeSorbo, 32, was “not really directed at her,” but the founder of Loverboy accused Conover, 36, of investing in a competing alcohol brand and x her from “Summer House” after 33-year-old Berner advertised for another company.
“I just can't believe this. For example, I'm very disappointed,” he recalled.
On Wednesday's episode of the Bravo reality show, Cook and DeSorvo cried out after she confronted him over the message.
The conflict got even more intense when Cook called DeSorbo “two sides” saying that he had no issues with his text at the event he had deejayed a few days ago.
“To be honest, I was very blind to Page's popping out,” he told Page 6 on Thursday's live show. “The only reason I called her two sides was because I checked in with her at a DJ event. It was like, 'Hey, sorry.' I said, “At this point, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.”
Cook and DeSorbo continue to solve the problem in next week's “Summerhouse” episode, but he teases that he can repair his friendship.
“In the end, sometimes I just have to blow the steam off, sometimes she has to blow the steam off, so we're good,” he told Real and Murphy.
Burner starred in the series from 2019 to 2021, but left because he couldn't solve the beef with Cook.
It was unclear what her former co-stars were discussing at the time, but Berner later claimed it stemmed from her decision to appear in an ad for Truly Hard Seltzer, one of Loverboy's competitors.
“The truth is that beef started. I truly did a Seltzer advert and I didn't know it was unforgivable,” she said in a July 2024 episode of Barstool Sports' “BFFS” podcast. “I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to drink any other drinks.”
Cook later condemned Burner's aspect of the story, claiming Page 6 that “has nothing to do with the cast” and that her story “has no truth.”
“I think everyone thinks they can do that kind of pull, but obviously, they have no control over what Bravo does,” he told us at the time.
However, during Thursday's “Virtual Reality” event, Cook said he wanted to compensate with Burner, but only if she stops “telling a lie.”
Meanwhile, Cooke's feud with Conover comes from the decision of the “Southern Charm” star to invest in Loverboy's competitor, the Spritz Society.
In May 2024, Conover reached out to Page 6 to invest in the Rover Boy after being approached by Splitz, but eventually went with the latter after seeing both options.
Cook vehemently denied Conover's story, accusing the timeline of “liing.” Instead, Cook argued that he had already signed a contract with Spritz when Conover approached him and was not interested in actually hearing his offer.
As the former told Real and Murphy on Thursday, Cook and Conover have yet to resolve the issue. The latter is simply continuing to spread the “bulk of misinformation.”
However, the two haveh out some of the issues with the current season “Summerhouse”: It airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 8pm and streams on Peacock the following day.
