Amanda Batula slams Craig Conover for fueling Paige DeSorbo cheating rumors: It’s ‘insanity’

Amanda Batula is backing up Paige DeSorbo in the wake of her split from Craig Conover. 

In an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” the “Summer House” star shares her frustration over Conover choosing to brush past rumors that DeSorbo cheated instead of immediately shutting them down. 

“To not clear up any of the cheating rumors is insanity. Insanity,” Batula, 33, says in a joint chat with husband Kyle Cooke. 

“That was still your girlfriend of three years. Like, stand up for her a little bit,” she continues, directing her indignation at Conover directly. “He’s been silent.” 

During Thursday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Conover’s good pal and “Southern Charm” castmate Austen Kroll alleged that DeSorbo has “moved on with another guy” post-breakup. 

“I don’t think that those are rumors. I think that they’ve been substantiated,” he claimed before going on to assert that Conover “knows as such.”

Kroll, 37, added, “You know, he didn’t know for a minute, but yeah. I think that he’s fully come to terms with that. That’s not a rumor.”

Subsequently, DeSorbo hit back at Kroll in an Instagram comment. “Ahhh yes a man I haven’t spoken To in 6 months knows exactly what I’m doing,” she quipped. 

DeSorbo, 32, and Conover, 35, were together for three years before calling it quits. 

“No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” DeSorbo told “Giggly Squad” podcast listeners last month. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful.”

However, Conover called himself “very shocked” by the “unexpected” split when he broke his silence via Instagram the following week. He has since unfollowed DeSorbo on the app. 

Batula tells “Virtual Reali-Tea” that she was aware of “multiple conversations had” between the pair about the fluctuating status of their relationship.

“But he was ‘shocked,’” the swimwear designer says, emphasizing that she can hardly “even speak” to Conover’s thoughts on the matter.

“Paige was nothing but kind in her words and Craig was just … he sent the dogs after her.” 

While DeSorbo’s current love life remains a mystery, it appears as though Conover is ready to dip his toes back into the dating pool. Us Weekly reported on Jan. 28 that he is on the celebrity-favored dating app Raya. 

“Those girls are so lucky. I can’t wait for them to match with him,” Batula says of Conover’s seeming decision to start swiping again, peppering her response with a tinge of sarcasm. “Good luck!”
