Craig Conover is “bummed” about his “Southern Charm” co-star Shep Rose’s after-hours rant at BravoCon 2025.
When Conover stopped by “Jeff Lewis Live” on Tuesday, he was asked about the exclusive video Page Six obtained that showed Rose trashing him and his ex-girlfriend, “Summer House” alum Paige DeSorbo.
“My assistant told me about it this morning,” Conover, 36, told host Lewis, “and I purposefully said I don’t wanna see it.”
Although Conover admitted that he’s “aware, contextually,” of what Rose said about his past relationship with DeSorbo, he made sure to note that he “wasn’t there” for the ordeal.
“I had a great — knock on wood — a great BravoCon, and I stayed busy,” Conover shared before confessing that part of him feels let down.
“I think I’m bummed because [Rose’s rant] brought me and Paige’s name into [the conversation],” Conover explained, arguing that it made it seem as though their romance and breakup was “a big topic” throughout the weekend.
“But in reality,” he emphasized, “I had nothing but nice things to say about her.”
In the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, Rose, 45, was filmed talking to a group of people at a bar inside Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort, shouting, “It was a sham the whole time, huh? How many more followers did you get? 200?”
At another point during the heated monologue, Rose screamed, “She and Craig made millions on reality TV’s back and then she broke up with him on her podcast! Do you understand how f–ked up that is? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you — or ignoring the hand that feeds you, basically.”
“Southern Hospitality” star Bradley Carter, who was standing next to Rose, then leaned over and whispered something in his ear to quiet him down.
Multiple eyewitnesses told us that Rose also made derogatory comments about DeSorbo, 33, and her former co-star Amanda Batula. However, a separate eyewitness claimed they never heard anything of the sort.
Meanwhile, a source close to Rose denied the remarks about DeSorbo and Batula, 34.
Rose’s strong feelings seem to stem from his loyalty to Conover, with whom he’s had a rocky friendship.
DeSorbo announced her split from Conover after three years of dating on her “Giggly Squad” podcast in December 2024.
She announced her exit from “Summer House” after seven seasons in June.
As for Batula, Conover famously feuded with her husband, Loverboy founder Kyle Cooke, over his 2024 investment in a competing canned cocktail company.
Reps for Rose, DeSorbo and Batula did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
However, DeSorbo has addressed the viral situation via several comments on Instagram.
“I can lend him some if he needs it?” she wrote beneath Queens of Bravo’s post, though it’s unclear whether she meant followers or money.
One fan commented, “This is actually romantic, they’re all obsessed with our queen,” to which DeSorbo replied, “I felt like Taylor swift.”
