Joe D’Amelio‘s former fiance, artist Rachel Durante, has seemingly spoken out against a woman who interfered in her relationship just days following Paige DeSorbo‘s outing with the sports executive last weekend.
In a post shared on her Instagram Story days after she was identified as Joe’s ex, Rachel, who split from Joe months ago, suggested that this woman not only sent Joe inappropriate messages, encouraging him to leave her and date her.
While Rachel didn’t say any names, Summer House fans still suspect her post is about the 32-year-old cast member Paige amid suspicions that these messages had been sent during Paige’s three-year relationship with Southern Charm star Craig Conover, 35.
“Regarding what’s been out there this past week, during my relationship, disrespectful messages were sent to a man who was spoken for, with absolutely no regard or respect for another woman or her relationship, insinuating for him to leave me for her,” Rachel wrote on January 17. “As my relationship went on, the banter continued, and I was purposely made to feel insecure, and my relationship was undermined.”
Rachel continued to target the woman, describing her as a “girl’s girl,” which is a title Paige has often received.
“As someone who holds themselves to such a high standard and claims to be a ‘girls girl’ her actions contradict this,” she explained. “I had the courage to leave a toxic situation, and as a girls girl myself, I’ll continue to lift other women up and their relationships up, not try to tear them down for my own good. I refuse to have anyone lie on my name and write their own false narratives about my life.”
“It is what it is, I wish everyone the best,” she concluded.
After the message was shared on Reddit, Summer House fans were taken by surprise, with many left in complete shock at the possibility that she had cheated on Craig and others expressing doubt.
“Paige if this is about you now’s the time to pull those receipts out…. [Lindsay Hubbard] come out of retirement we need a PR team,” one person begged as another said Paige would surely “clear her name.”
“Hoooooooly sh*t,” another proclaimed as others said they were “speechless” and “screaming, crying, [and] throwing up.”
“If this is true, my opinion of Paige will forever be tainted,” another person admitted.
Someone else suggested that Joe may have lied to them both as another hinted, “This is going to get good…”
Also, in the comments, fans expressed concern about Paige moving on from Craig too “quickly” and pointed out that she didn’t seem like the type to tell someone to break up with their girlfriend.
Summer House season nine premieres on Wednesday, February 12, at 9/8c on Bravo.
