Paige DeSorbo Publicly Supports Ciara Miller in Summer House Feud
Reality television personality Paige DeSorbo has entered the fray of the ongoing drama between her Summer House costars Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller. The 33-year-old star voiced her support for Miller this week, following the confirmation that Batula, Miller's best friend, has been secretly dating Miller's ex-boyfriend, West Wilson.
Instagram Comments and Cryptic Posts
DeSorbo made her stance clear through a series of pointed social media activities. On Wednesday, she commented on Miller's Instagram post from the Your Friends & Neighbors premiere, where Miller had posted a red carpet interview with the show's stars. The caption read: 'If you can’t trust your Friends & Neighbors, who can you trust?' DeSorbo left multiple complimentary comments, including writing 'Beautiful' and later adding, 'Ur perfect,' alongside three clapping emojis.
In a more subtle move, DeSorbo logged into an Instagram account dedicated to her cat to share a collage. The image featured her pet sitting beside the cats of Miller and fellow costar Hannah Berner, seemingly indicating her alignment with their side in the conflict. The caption stated: 'Karma is a cat,' accompanied by a cat emoji and the hashtag '#thisiswhywecanthavenicethings.' She had photoshopped a photo of her cat Daphne having a tea party with Berner's pet Butter and Miller's feline Jasper.
Background of the Scandal
This social media activity follows the bombshell revelation that Miller's ex-boyfriend and her best friend were secretly involved romantically. Rumors had been swirling for a month about Batula seeing her friend's ex. After their secret was exposed, Batula and Wilson issued a joint statement confirming the relationship.
'What's developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship,' they shared. 'As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless.'
Additional Social Media Activity
DeSorbo further escalated the situation by posting collages on her cat's Instagram account featuring castmates making shocked expressions. She shared a photo of Lindsay Hubbard with her cat and another of their fellow Summer House costar Carl Radke emoting strongly, adding to the public display of the ongoing tension.
Kyle Cooke's Involvement
DeSorbo's posts came just hours after Batula's estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, broke his silence on the scandal. Cooke revealed he has been in touch with Miller since the news broke, claiming she was aware of Batula and Wilson's relationship before it became public two days earlier.
'I think she had more evidence at her disposal than I did,' he told TV personality Adam Glyn in a TikTok video. 'She was trying to let me come to terms at my own speed. It’s just a lot to process,' explained Cooke, who stars on Summer House with Miller, Batula, and Wilson. This development adds another layer to the complex web of relationships, as Batula and Cooke confirmed their separation just months ago after four years of marriage.
The situation continues to unfold, with DeSorbo's very public siding with Miller highlighting the deep divisions and emotional fallout among the Summer House cast members.
