Headline: Paige DeSorbo Takes a Break from "Summer House," Friends Remain Hopeful for Return
In a surprising announcement, Paige DeSorbo revealed her departure from the popular reality series "Summer House" after seven seasons. Her close friend, Amanda Batula, expressed her support while promoting her own entrepreneurial ventures. Batula described the news as "tough to hear," noting DeSorbo’s struggles with anxiety last summer, which led her to take breaks from filming.
"I think it’s the best decision for her," Batula stated, emphasizing the pressures of life in the Hamptons and the exhausting nature of filming. Despite the sadness of her exit, Batula encourages fans not to lose hope, saying, “I’d like to think that she’s not done. That girl was born for TV.”
The dynamic of "Summer House" is shifting, with newcomer Lexi Wood also announcing she won’t return. This has led to speculation about a possible new direction for the show, focusing on Batula, DeSorbo, and fellow cast member Ciara Miller in their New York City lives.
Meanwhile, Batula is busy launching her swimwear line, Amanda Batula Swim, inspired by her travels in Italy and friendships. Each piece is named after significant women in her life, a heartfelt gesture reflecting her connections.
As the summer approaches, Batula and her husband, Kyle Cooke, are working on balancing their personal and professional lives, highlighting the difficulties they faced in the past year. “I always try to be honest and transparent about everything,” Batula shared, emphasizing the importance of authenticity on and off the screen.
While DeSorbo takes a step back, fans are hopeful for her return, possibly even making special appearances in future episodes. For now, both she and Batula are focused on self-care and new opportunities.
