Lindsay Hubbard Addresses Criticism Over Her Comments on Carl Radke’s Sobriety
Bollywoodfever, March 4: Lindsay Hubbard recently spoke out against the criticism she faced for casting doubt on Carl Radke’s sobriety during a recent episode of “Summer House.”
In the episode that aired Thursday on the Bravo reality series, Hubbard, who was engaged to Radke at the time, suggested he was under the influence during a heated dispute, saying, “The way that he spoke to me tonight was very reminiscent of, like, Carl on cocaine…I don’t know what happened with him, but he was not sober tonight. Something’s wrong with Carl. The way he was speaking to me, he was cocaine Carl tonight. It was weird.”
Radke has maintained his sobriety from alcohol and drugs since 2021.
Hubbard took to Instagram on Friday to express regret over her choice of words, explaining, “I wished I had used better wording. I was emotional and hurt by what had transpired earlier in the night and what I said was meant to be a private conversation at home with one of my best girlfriends. I have never questioned his sobriety before this moment and from day one I was his biggest supporter.”
She added, “I have always been transparent on the show about my feelings and have leaned on my friends for support and that was my only intention here.”
The backlash comes in the wake of Hubbard and Radke ending their engagement, with the breakup occurring a few months before their planned wedding. The season currently airing was filmed prior to their split.
Radke spoke to E! News about the impact of Hubbard’s doubts on his sobriety on their decision to separate, stating, “That was something that had gone on before in the relationship…Which is very unfortunate when you’re committing to a life of sobriety and wanting to live with purpose. I think people will understand how difficult that could be.”
While Radke confirmed his continued sobriety, he acknowledged other underlying issues in their relationship, noting, “There were core things that after we were engaged had been going. We started couples therapy in November of 2022. I wanted to try and strengthen and improve our communication, but we also had clear attachment differences, we have different traumas. It was important to me to really work on that.”
“Summer House” continues to air new episodes on Thursdays at 8pm ET on Bravo.
