Paige DeSorbo, a well-known figure in the reality television arena, has recently expressed her views on overwhelming requests from fans for her presence at the upcoming reunion for Season 10 of *Summer House*. The former cast member, who departed from the show after seven seasons, candidly shared her thoughts during an appearance at the Fashion Group International (FGI) 30th Annual Rising Star Awards last week.

In a conversation with *People*, the 33-year-old made it clear that she has seen the numerous pleas from fans but is content with her decision to step away from the series. “I have seen it,” she acknowledged, reflecting on the public’s wish to see her return. “I’m so happy that contractually, I do not have to be there. I’ve never been happier, honestly.”
DeSorbo’s departure from *Summer House* was officially announced through an Instagram Stories post in June 2025, signalling a significant change in her television journey. She remarked that participating in the show had been a pivotal and rewarding chapter in her life, one marked by enduring friendships and unforgettable experiences. However, she also recognised that it was time to move on. “Being part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life,” she wrote. “But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
Her comments come shortly after former castmate Amanda Batula confirmed a budding romance with West Wilson. The couple revealed their relationship through a joint statement on Instagram on March 31, amidst growing online speculation. Batula’s announcement follows her split from husband Kyle Cooke earlier this year, a situation that has garnered considerable interest and discussion among fans.
The intricate dynamics of relationships amongst *Summer House* cast members have inevitably led to associated turbulence. Wilson, who had previously dated co-star Ciara Miller, finds himself embroiled in renewed drama as they navigate the ramifications of their past relationships. Miller reflected on the unsettling feelings stemming from the revelations, describing the entire situation as “a major mindf—” in an interview with *Glamour*.
Batula, 34, indicated her intentions to address questions regarding her relationship during the reunion, promising honesty and transparency. In a statement shared on Instagram on April 10, she wrote, “I will be addressing any and all questions honestly and directly there.” Meanwhile, Wilson has expressed his desire to offer in-person apologies and clarify any misunderstandings during the reunion special, hinting at a more candid reckoning.
Despite the ongoing drama among her former co-stars, DeSorbo seems determined to remain on the sidelines. In comments made to *Byrdie* a few months ago, she reflected on the possibility of returning to reality television. “I would never say never,” she admitted, “but I think coming off of it after seven years, I would love a break.” This sentiment has resonated with many fans who admire her desire for personal growth beyond the confines of reality TV.
The much-anticipated reunion is yet to have an official air date confirmed by Bravo, with hosting duties falling to Andy Cohen. Speculation continues to swirl, with fans eager to witness how the relationships and events that transpired throughout the season will be reconciled. Current episodes of *Summer House* Season 10 are available on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo and are released the following day on Peacock.
As the drama unfolds on screen, DeSorbo’s reflections serve as a reminder of the complexities and emotional weight that often accompany reality television. With her departure, she has opened a new chapter in her life, one that, while separate from the show, continues to draw the interest and admiration of fans who have followed her journey throughout the years.
