Paige DeSorbo’s Bold Exit from Summer House Sparks New Chapter
Maya Rivers here, spinning moonlit musings about a reality show departure that feels oddly like an epic sonnet.
In a confessional moment on the Bravo By Gays podcast hosted by Larry Crespo, Paige DeSorbo revealed the intimate reasons she will not return to Summer House after seven seasons. The 32-year-old reality star admitted that following the wrap of season nine last year, an instinctive whisper told her, “This is probably the last time I’ll ever leave this house.” As sourced from E! Online and detailed on Bravo By Gays, Paige described how her nationwide Giggly Squad podcast tour last fall and her public breakup with Southern Charm’s Craig Conover in November accentuated that gut feeling.
Paige explained that juggling her burgeoning business ventures – including her new loungewear line Daphne – along with her Summer House commitments became untenable. “I really need time off. I don’t physically think I could film Summer House,” she said on August 4, referencing her busy spring schedule. Despite planning to use the show as a platform to promote Daphne, her personal well-being overrode any professional ambition. Instagram posts and interviews confirm that her priorities have shifted.
The reality star acknowledged she no longer vibes with late-night Hamptons parties like she did in her mid-twenties. She confessed, “I don’t want to go out on a Friday and Saturday night. It’s not my vibe anymore and I feel like I was taking a spot from a younger girl.” This decision underscores how personal growth can redirect one’s path even in the glittering world of Bravo.
Paige’s exit follows a recent tide of star departures in TV’s most buzzed-about series. General Hospital bid farewell to Sasha Gilmore actress Sofia Mattsson after seven years. Jax Taylor announced he will skip season three of The Valley to focus on sobriety and co-parenting his son, as reported on his July 2025 statement. Law & Order viewers were stunned when Mehcad Brooks left his detective role after three seasons. Tracy Ifeachor confirmed via Instagram her choice to exit The Pitt after its breakout HBO Max run. Even Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller met a brutal onscreen fate on The Last of Us that echoed the video game’s lore.
For Paige, the move is both an artistic pivot and a life lesson. She conveyed in conversational candor that filming a reality show while pursuing multiple enterprises felt like living two lives at once. Stepping away, she says, offers space for creativity, restoration, and authentic presence. Her decision reflects a trend among TV personalities who are choosing mental health and new ventures over the relentless filming grind.
Will fans miss her signature one-liners, late-night boat parties, and fashion statements along the beachside deck? Undoubtedly. But Paige DeSorbo’s next act is already in motion, and it promises to be every bit as dynamic as her time on Summer House.
And so, the final sip of rosé is poured, leaving us to wonder where Paige Rivers of the Hamptons saga drifts next.
