Transcript

00:00Paige and Craig, you were just on Watch What Happens Live, you were asked on a scale of

00:031 to 10, how surprised were you?

00:05You said 1.

00:06Can you give me a little insight into that answer, maybe if it's something we're gonna

00:09see on the show or tease it that way?

00:11No, I think that it will continue to unfold on the show.

00:15But also I just think, like, I rated that a 1 because I feel like that's my best friend,

00:22I've had a front row seat for 3 years, and I feel like I really know that girl.

00:28And like, yeah, there were just some things where I was like, this isn't, you know, this

00:34isn't it.

00:35So, yeah.

00:36Um, he actually responded on Tamron Hall today, I don't know if you've seen this yet, because

00:40the clip just came out, about the texting scene that was in the pickup, the trailer,

00:45saying that that's not true and that it was filmed in retaliation.

00:49Any reaction to his reaction to that scene?

00:53No.

00:54Literally no.

00:56Do you watch Southern Charm?

00:57No.

00:58And will it surprise you, probably not, to find out that some of the scenes aren't aging

01:02so well?

01:03The frozen sperm that he had, or, you know, Paige telling him again that she feels a little

01:07pressure and being very consistent, in my opinion, saying she does not want to get engaged.

01:12Right.

01:13Yeah.

01:14So, obviously, like, maybe let's ask ourselves why.

01:18And I think people are, you know, there's been a lot of misogyny online, definitely

01:22geared towards Paige, and it's been so crazy, because it's like, you know, you can reiterate

01:29your boundaries or reiterate where you stand, and it's somehow, like, still not good enough.

01:35And I feel like, yeah, like, you're dating people to figure out if you want to be with

01:40them, and ultimately she didn't, and that's totally fine, but, like, I'm also not gonna

01:48sit here and act, like, we're not gonna sit here and act like Craig is just, like, the

01:51ultimate peach, and I'm sorry, but she did a lot of work to get him to this point where

01:56he's at now, and whether he'll give her credit or not, like, the Craig that we know now is

02:02not the Craig, you know, that we were dealing with three years ago.

02:08And like, let's talk about those two years, and even this past year, like, there are just

02:12a lot of things, and I'm not saying that Craig is all bad, because he's not, but I just think,

02:18like, people are, I don't know, people are quick to jump on page, and it's, like, whoa,

02:25not too much, you know?

02:26My theory is that because Southern Charm is a show that started to be, was based on men,

02:32and kind of is shot in a way that, like, the men are the main characters, whereas Summerhouse

02:36is much more, like, kind of even-keeled, and you all, the women are the stars, but you

02:38all, like, and you hold men accountable, and on Southern Charm, it's more like, oh, they're

02:42just, like, they don't have to be held, so I think the fans then kind of treat Craig

02:46with kids' gloves the way that the produced, like, the way that that show's edited.

02:51Right, yeah, absolutely, and I think even just, like, people saying, like, oh, Paige

02:55is mean to Craig, Naomi was mean to Craig, okay, well, let's ask ourselves, if people

03:00are mean to him, why are they mean to him?

03:03Why, and if that's your perception of mean, what's your definition of mean, like, she's

03:09not kissing the ground that he walks on, she has an opinion about things, she's steadfast

03:13in what she wants for herself, and her future, and what her future family's gonna look like,

03:18like, I'm sorry, but Craig had three years to move to New York, and he didn't, he had

03:22three years to buy a ring, I don't really feel like he bought a ring, but, like, whatever,

03:25none of my business, but if he wanted to move to New York, he could've moved to New York,

03:29he makes, you know, a substantial amount of money, I'm sure, sewing down South does great,

03:33if he wanted to move to New York, he could've gotten an apartment here, and, like, was like,

03:37I'm doing this because I wanna be here, and whatever, like, you can say that, you know,

03:43you were waiting on her and all of these things, but you were also, if you wanted to

03:46do them, you would have, so, yeah, I definitely think the Southern Charm audience and the

03:52Summer House audience is completely different, and we're taking the Summer House audience

03:56all day long over the, like, super, insanely traditional, misogynistic, you know, fan base

04:03I feel like that kind of Southern Charm has, it's very old school, and honestly, I'm from

04:09the South, I totally get that, like, mentality, but we're in 2025, and I'll be damned if I'm

04:14an 80-year-old woman sitting on TV and coming after another woman, saying that she's, like,

04:19being mean to someone, being mean to this man, like, no, no, no, I think we need to

04:24ask ourselves different questions.

04:25There you go, period, you said it.
