Carl Finally Sounds Off on Those Infidelity Rumors & “Being Compared to Tom Sandoval”
Carl Radke is shutting down rumors that he cheated on Lindsay Hubbard once and for all.
Carl Radke gave Lindsay Hubbard a laundry list of reasons they shouldn't get married during the Season 8 finale of Summer House, and while any admission that he had cheated or found love elsewhere was not among them, he's now making it crystal clear that he did not cheat on his then wife-to-be.
Why? Because as Carl and his castmates explained on the Summer House After Show (which you can check out above), he was subject to a slew of infidelity rumors following his split from Lindsay.
"People were saying Carl had a mistress and got someone pregnant," Jesse Solomon recalled. "Like, all these terrible things."
Carl even remembered "being compared to Tom Sandoval," he said. "To be compared to all these different things was pretty common for the first two months after this whole thing went down."
Kyle Cooke summarized more of the false "accusations" Carl faced, including, "There was a girl that was knocked up by Carl at a Loverboy party, Carl blindsided Lindsay, [and] he called the cameras."

Carl, however, "didn't fuel the fire" by responding to all the rumors, Kyle pointed out.
Instead, he retreated to Pennsylvania. As Carl recalled on the Summer House After Show, "I go home to Pittsburgh for a few days, try to let things just simmer down. And guess went, it actually went to a whole 'nother dimension."
In retrospect, "I feel bad because [Lindsay]'s hurt and I genuinely deep down still feel sorry that she's hurt, but we were not right to be married, and some of the fallout of it all is what's been harder for me personally," Carl explained.
"I had hoped it wouldn't have gotten as crazy as it has gotten," he added. "[But] the truth does come to light and that is what I'm just hopeful that people will learn and realize: This is just a sad breakup and nothing more than that."
Hear more from both Carl and Lindsay on the Summer House Season 8 reunion, which kicks off Thursday, June 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Extended and uncensored versions of the shocking reunion will be available to stream next day on Peacock.
