It’s only been a few days since Summer House star Paige DeSorbo disclosed that she and Southern Charm’s Craig Conover sadly called it quits, and she just shot down a TikTok rumor claiming she cheated on Craig.
As we previously reported, Paige and Craig’s shocking breakup capped off a chaotic month in reality TV, and for Bravo specifically:
“Paige and Craig’s breakup after three years of dating came amid a period of bad news and setbacks for
Bravo
and its Bravolebrities — after the entire cast ofVanderpump Rules
was
rebooted in December
,
James Kennedy was arrested
.“On top of that, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval’s
Schwartz And Sandy’s is closing
its doors imminently, [and that’s] not even taking into consideration theReal Housewives
universe,
with lawsuits
,
a troubled
RHONY
reboot
, and whatever is
going on with poor Brandi Glanville’s face
.”
Although Paige and Craig’s split was met with surprised dismay from most fans, a few correctly speculated that the couple were destined to go their separate ways.
And Jon Hamm was deeply saddened by the whole thing.
However, when Paige disclosed the split on Giggly Squad, the podcast she co-hosts with Hannah Berner, she was adamant not only that the breakup was amicable, but also that no one had done anything wrong – like cheating – to cause it.
She said in part:
“I have so much love and respect for Craig. I think he is one of the best people I’ve ever met in my entire life.
“I will remain the biggest fan of him and want the best for him. And he truly will get the best because he is the best.”
From the outside, it looked mainly like the perils of a long-distance relationship catching up with an otherwise well-matched couple, but a TikTok rumor irked Paige so much she decided to comment and put the rumor to rest before it got legs on social media.

Paige Is Watching TikTok’s Rumor Mill
On Thursday, January 2, a TikTok user shared a clip about Paige and Craig’s breakup, claiming that the Summer House star had a sordid secret.
They also claimed that the rumor about Paige cheating on Craig was “about to be everywhere on the internet” and was “about to go viral.”
That user captioned the post “Paige Desorbo allegedly caught cheating on Craig Conover!?”
In the telling, the story was not all that believable, and peppered with a staggering number of “allegedlys”:
Much of the short clip was devoted to badly explaining that the story about Paige purportedly cheating was based on what sounded like third or even fourth-hand rumors, claims sourced via an unspecified podcast:
“Now, there is somebody who is claiming that they have a friend who is a New York-based comedian – they said that’s all they can say – who’s good friends with Paige …
“They’re claiming that she allegedly cheated on Craig with an internet personality. And they sound very confident about it.”
Paige personally commented on the TikTok user’s post, and it sounded like she was threatening to sue them for spreading false information.
She simply said:
Paige was not entirely hostile to other rumors about her very recent breakup from Craig, though — on a different TikTok, she joked: “I’m obsessed with all of this fan fiction.”
