Carl Radke Reveals Why His Friendship with Kyle Cooke Isn’t Fully Mended
After beefing on Summer House Season 7, Carl says there’s “still more” to be done to fix his friendship with Kyle.
After a difficult summer together and following a change in their working relationship, Kyle Cooke and Carl Radke are trying to hit the reset button on their friendship.
The Summer House cast members clashed early in Season 7 as Carl debated whether he wanted to keep working at Kyle’s company, Loverboy (he ultimately left the canned alcohol brand in the fall of 2022). However, the two seemed to get back on track as the summer progressed, and Kyle was even one of the few cast members who knew about Carl’s plan to propose to his now-fiancée, Lindsay Hubbard.
During a chat with The Daily Dish back when Season 7 premiered in February, Kyle acknowledged that the two had to “put [their] friendship on the front burner and make [it] a priority,” but did that end up happening?
While appearing on the May 9 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Carl admitted it was “difficult” to watch back his friendship issues with Kyle once Season 7 began airing.
“For him to lash out at [Lindsay or] me, it’s really difficult to watch, like as someone who really thought we had a friendship,” Carl said, referencing the argument Kyle got into with Lindsay during the group’s slumber party on Episode 4.
Despite dealing with a few bumps in their long-standing friendship the last time they were in the Hamptons, Carl acknowledged that he and Kyle have indeed taken steps to move on.
“He’s apologized. We have gotten together. I’m proud that we’ve moved forward a little bit, but there’s still more to it for me and our relationship to move forward in a more positive way,” Carl continued.
The two are attempting to mend their friendship, and Carl added that he’s grateful Kyle was there to cheer him on before he proposed to Lindsay.
“It has been really heartwarming to watch Kyle in support, giving me a little bit of motivation [and] confidence,” Carl said of how Kyle was there for him during the “complicated” proposal. “Having Kyle’s support there has been really nice to watch back.”
