00:00
So we see, you know, cracks in her relationship with Craig this summer and she kind of breaks
00:05
down about maybe breaking up.
00:08
So when the announcement came about, was it, did it take you by surprise that they decided
00:12
to call it quits?
00:13
Slightly.
00:14
I wouldn't, I'd say I was surprised, not shocked.
00:18
It wasn't like, oh, I don't think I reacted the way the rest of the internet did.
00:23
Sure, yeah.
00:24
But when I did get the text from her, I was like, what happened?
00:27
Like, are you okay?
00:28
Like, is everything okay?
00:30
So yeah.
00:31
But I mean, I was, I honestly, they had already gone three plus years long distance.
00:37
I thought they might go the distance.
00:39
Actually, when she first texted me, she was like, I have top secret information for you.
00:43
I thought it was, part of me thought it was maybe going to be an engagement.
00:47
Yeah.
00:48
It was like one or the other.
00:49
And I was like, oh, yeah.
00:51
So I, you know, as one couple on Bravo to another, I was rooting for them and, you know,
01:01
but ultimately, you know, I think that she kind of kept, I think they both kind of kept
01:06
their relationship pretty close to the chest and I don't, you know, I don't know if there's
01:10
little red flags on Southern Charm, but I think there's, for the first time ever in
01:14
the three years that they were dating, she kind of confided in me, you know, about some
01:18
of the challenges they were having and that was a first.
01:21
I was like, oh, interesting.
01:23
So I always thought it was just like butter, you know, rainbows and butterflies.
01:27
Yeah.
01:28
Yeah.
01:29
But I'm sure, you know, we'll all watch it sort of possibly unfold, but she'll definitely
01:34
speak more to it at some point.
01:36
What was your reaction to his response to the breakup?
01:42
He unfollowed Paige.
01:43
Now there's reports he's on Riot.
01:45
I think it's a little ridiculous.
01:48
I think Craig just, he likes the sympathy from everyone and ultimately I think what
01:55
he should have done was clear up the cheating rumors in some regards because she's really
01:59
getting a lot of heat and a lot of hate for that.
02:03
The internet thinks they're a bunch of detectives.
02:06
And for him to almost like lean into it, I don't know.
02:10
I thought, I mean, I listened to her whole podcast and I was like, wow, like she handled
02:15
that with compassion and grace.
02:19
And I think, yeah, I felt like there's a couple of things that he said that, you know, was
02:27
clearly trying to like tilt the scale a little bit if you catch my drift.
02:31
So I don't know.
02:32
Yeah.
02:33
I think, you know, I wish he handled it more of the way that Paige did because they were,
02:39
they were such good friends.
02:40
They had such a long relationship and such a history together.
02:44
You don't want to like piss someone off with an Instagram story.
02:46
Yeah.
02:47
We'll see.
02:48
We'll see.
02:49
How's she doing?
02:50
She's, she's all right.
02:51
You know, she's keeping busy.
02:52
She has her tour.
02:53
She's always doing different jobs.
02:55
She's always filming something or taking photographs or something or, you know, she is like Taylor
02:59
Mitchell, our glam team over there all the time.
03:02
So she's, she's busy.
03:03
Booked and busy.
03:04
Her mind is, yeah.
03:05
Her mind is occupied.
03:06
Definitely.
03:07
Yeah.
03:08
How would you describe your relationship with Craig now?
03:11
Obviously we see, we see the two of you sit down this season, you know, we don't have
03:14
to rehash everything that happened, but how, what, how would you describe your friendship
03:18
with him if there is one at all?
03:19
Yeah.
03:20
I mean, it's kind of funny.
03:21
I mean, ultimately everything that I said over the summer, you know, was in this mindset
03:30
that my goal is to get back to a place where we can go on a double date.
03:34
Right.
03:35
So.
03:36
I don't know.
03:37
I know.
03:38
We'll never get there.
03:39
You know, because, no, but I had, I had, A, I would never want to continue to put Amanda
03:44
in this awkward, you know, position where I'm making her friendship more complicated
03:51
and getting in the way.
03:53
You know, I wanted to protect my friendship with, with, with Paige.
03:56
And so I, like I said, I tried to choose my words wisely because I kind of let my emotions
04:01
get the best of me earlier in the year where I was explaining how I'm hurt.
04:05
And then ultimately I, I hurt his feelings.
04:07
So it just kind of, forget the business aspect.
04:11
It really was about friendship and, you know, ultimately we're, you know, we're not as close
04:16
as we, we once were.
04:18
I did try to reach out, you know, once I heard the news, but, but yeah, I mean, TBD is to,
04:26
to where that goes.
04:27
Yeah.
04:28
Did you get a response when you reached out?
04:29
No.
04:30
All right.
04:31
Well, like you say, we'll see how it goes.
04:32
Yeah.
04:33
I sent him like two heart emojis and double tapped it.
