Despite participating in an explosive and “raw” argument Summer House season seven trailer, Kyle Cooke recently announced that he and his best friend and business partner LoverBoy, Carl Radkein great terms.
“Carl and I have nothing but love and respect for each other and everyone will see it,” Kyle told Page Six during the Toast with the Host opening party for LoverBoy, which was held at Mohegan Sun on Saturday night.
The heated fight that broke out between the two was the result of trying to maintain a boundary between their work relationship and their personal friendship. Carl joined Kyle’s beverage company as Vice President of Sales.
In the trailer, Carl can be seen storming off from the argument and Kyle’s, shouting at the Bravo camera and exclaiming that he is “done” with Kyle and Loverboy. Kyle immediately screamed, “[You could] leave the company now and the company will not feel the problem!”
Despite all the drama, Kyle insists that while it’s difficult to navigate a business relationship with his best friend, he and Carl are “good”.
“I mean, it’s always hard to work with your wife and your best friend, so it’s almost like I want to remind people that it’s not normal, and then you put it on TV, and it’s another level of crazy,” Kyle explained.
Kyle’s wife and Summer House star, Amanda Batula, also works for LoverBoy as the company’s Creative Director. Amanda said that Kyle and Carl “really went through” in season seven of the Bravo show, and that she was “interested” in watching the situation because she only “heard one side” of the story.
Amanda then teased that the seventh season drama will mostly revolve around friendship dynamics rather than romantic relationships, and she said it would be “difficult” for many of her friends to rewatch, seemingly showing the fallout between them. Lindsay Hubbard and Danielle Olivera.
Summer House season seven airs Fridays at 9/8c on Bravo.
