Kyle Cooke may have resolved his tension with Craig Conover on Summer House Season 9, Episode 6, but things have since changed.
The Loverboy founder is now doubling down on his claim that the Southern Charm-er bent the truth about partnering with a competitor alcohol brand. Fans may recall that Kyle first addressed the drama on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in May 2024.
"If you look back, calling him a liar, was it that really far fetched? Because he called himself a good liar," Kyle said on the March 19 episode of the Summer House After Show before a flashback clip of Craig indeed stating "I'm a great liar" played. "So, I really didn't think I was coming out of left field with 'Craig stretches the truth.'"
"Should I have straight up called him a liar? No, I could have handled it better," Kyle continued on the After Show. "But, I am who I am. And, yeah, I was hurt."'
Kyle Cooke explains why he wanted to talk to Craig at Amanda's birthday dinner
Kyle also got the chance to clarify why he wanted to chat with the Sewing Down South founder just after he had arrived in the Hamptons (during Amanda Batula's birthday dinner, no less).
"I knew that we would bump into each other, so I proactively texted him. And I just said, 'Hey, man, I feel bad I let my emotions get the best of me.' I was just like, 'Listen, I care about our friendship, I don't know how many times you're going to make it this summer, I want us to have a great weekend, and I don't want this to be a cloud hanging over us. Let's just get anything we need to get off our chests on Friday so we can enjoy the weekend and we can get back to being friends,'" Kyle explained on the Summer House After Show. "And he gave me the thumbs up."
Kyle was, therefore, confused when Craig shut him down and asked to speak at Carl Radke's pirate-themed bash the following day.
"So when I brought it up at dinner, it wasn't to bring it up in front of everybody, it was to pick up where my text left off, like, 'Hey, whenever you're ready, let's branch off and catch up,'" Kyle continued on the After Show. To be honest, everything got so blown out of proportion.
