Paige DeSorbo got the last giggle. The Bravo star, 32, announced that she’s leaving “Summer House” after seven seasons on Thursday, one day after the Season 9 reunion finished airing. “I
have a little life update for you: I’ve made the decision not to return to Summer House,” she wrote in a message on her Instagram Stories. “Being part of this show has been one of the most
rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable,” DeSorbo continued. “You’ve seen me grow up over these last 7 summers. I’ll always be beyond
grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me.” EXPLORE MORE “But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to
close,” she added. DeSorbo went on, “To my castmates, the fans, and my NBCU family: thank you. I never could’ve imagined what this journey would turn into — and how many of you would be
along for the ride.” “And you haven’t seen the last of me, I promise,” she teased. “So much more to do together, but for now you know you can always find me and Daphne in my bed.” DeSorbo
joined “Summer House” in Season 3 in 2019. She hinted that she was leaving the show in an interview with Glamour last month. “There’s an end date for me at some point,” she told the outlet.
“With the lifestyle of ‘Summer House’ specifically, I’m probably not fitting into the original show idea anymore. Whenever I see a comment that’s like, ‘She’s a little too old to be on
this,’ I’m like, yeah, I kind of am.” “I’m probably not as fun to party with as a 25-year-old, and I get that,” DeSorbo admitted. “I would stay on reality TV, but it’s only fun and real if
it’s your lifestyle, and as I get older, I am straying away more and more from partying every weekend. I really can’t drink two nights in a row; I will pass away. I was actually nervous for
this season to come out because I felt like I didn’t do anything this summer because I was so tired from working.” DeSorbo has found major success with her “Giggly Squad” podcast that she
co-hosts with her former co-star Hannah Berner. The pair took the podcast on a 60-city tour last year. During that time, DeSorbo split from “Southern Charm” star Craig Conover after three
years of dating. The “Summer House” Season 9 cast also included Amanda Batula, Kyle Cooke, Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke, Ciara Miller, Gabby Prescod, Jesse Solomon, West Wilson, and newcomers
Lexi Wood and Imrul Hassan.
