Summer House Summary: Lindsay Hubbard throws out “Cocaine Carl” during a fight

Summer should be fun, but when Lindsay Hubbard And Carl Radke joined the Summer house crew during season 8, episode 2, it was anything but a fun time.

Lindsay, 37, and Carl, 39, missed the group’s first weekend in the Hamptons to go to Washington, D.C., so tensions were high when they finally arrived. The couple, who were engaged during the filming of Season 8, got into a blowout fight during the Thursday, February 29 episode of the Bravo series.

Lindsay claimed that after landing in a boys’ car to the club, she was “afraid” the girls would somehow use it against her. She claimed that after she told Carl about her “concerns,” he “basically shut me out and dismissed my feelings.”

Carl had a different memory of the conversation, telling the cameras, “I’m as calm as I can be sitting in the backseat with her and I say, ‘Honey, you’re doing great.’ I can see that, but it’s not that deep.’”

The cast of Summer House has proven time and time again that the Hamptons aren’t always conducive to successful relationships — and the season 8 premiere was no different. When the new season started on Thursday, February 22, not all couples in the house had gotten off to a good start. While Us Weekly confirmed this […]

He claimed Lindsay got in his face and accused him of doing drugs. “She says, ‘What are you doing?’ I’m like, ‘Nothing, what are you talking about?’” (Carl has been sober since January 2021.)

Kyle Cooke supported Carl’s story by saying, “I can’t even put into words how quickly Lindsay went from zero to 100. She immediately starts freaking out a little bit.”

A drunk Lindsay had a boyfriend Gabby Prescod take her home immediately, where she spoke out about the actions of her then fiancé. “The way he spoke to me tonight was very reminiscent of Carl on cocaine,” Lindsay claimed. “I don’t know what happened to him, but he wasn’t sober tonight.”

Lindsay began crying in Gabby’s bed as she made more accusations. ‘There’s something wrong with Carl. The way he spoke to me, he was cocaine Carl tonight. It was weird,” she claimed.

Gabby, meanwhile, called Carl to check in on him and told Lindsay, “That sounded like a down-to-earth guy to me.”

When he returned home, Carl admitted that his heart was “racing” as he began to process the fight with Lindsay.

‘I’m shaking because it’s beyond painful. It’s screwed up and that’s the person I should marry?’ he joked. “It hurts me deep inside. The accusation and isolation that I am ‘doing something’ is killing me.”

Things got even worse the next morning when Lindsay continued to insinuate that Carl had fallen off the wagon. “You’re the one who drinks all night and wakes up angry,” Carl told Lindsay, to which she fired back, “You’re the one who obviously does other things.”

Carl shouted, “Lindsay, I’m fucking sober! You’ve been drinking all day and are rude and aggressive to me when I try to be supportive. That’s so damned.’ He told her he was “upset” and “frustrated” by everything that had happened.

While Carl and Lindsay were together all summer, We weekly confirmed in August 2023 that Carl had called off their engagement. Lindsay exclusively told Us in November 2023 that she felt “blindsided” by the breakup and claimed Carl was working with producers to “manipulate” her into having their breakup appear on camera.

Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke went through it all on Summer House — from breakups to makeup and more — before calling off their engagement in August 2023.

Although Lindsay and Carl’s rift became messy, Lindsay claimed that when she accused Carl of using drugs over the summer, it was out of concern.

“After all, this was summer. I was in love with this man. This was the man I was about to marry. He was my fiancé,” Lindsay recalled Us in February of the controversial moment. “Every question I had came from a place of love and concern, just as you would with your partner’s decisions or strange behavior.”

She added: “If you’re behaving a little bit strangely, I’m going to try to find out where that strange behavior is coming from. But that’s only because I love you and I’m worried about you.”

Summer house airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9pm ET.
