Taylor Ann Green, Paige DeSorbo, Craig Conover. Bravo (3)
Taylor Ann Green, a cast member of Southern Charm, recently divulged the source of the cheating rumors she initially heard about Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover's relationship. During her appearance on the October 12 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the 28-year-old reality star disclosed, "I first heard it at BravoCon last year. I repeated it, but I deeply regret doing so."
When a fan inquired about the acceptability of spreading a rumor with no evidence to support it, Green playfully challenged, "Who's to say there's absolutely no evidence?" While she did not provide any further explanation, Green emphasized that the cheating speculation was ultimately nothing more than a rumor. Adding to the drama, Green started off season 9 of Southern Charm by accusing DeSorbo of being unfaithful to Conover during a heated argument concerning Green's split from Shep Rose.
In the midst of the confrontation, Green criticized Conover for supposedly finding amusement in Rose's infidelity while talking to costar Austen Kroll over the phone. Green also pointed out that Conover never made an effort to reach out to her following the breakup. Conover explained that he didn't want to take sides and did what he could to stop Rose's cheating behavior.
Green countered, questioning DeSorbo's faithfulness to Conover by saying, "What about your girl cheating on you?" However, both DeSorbo and Conover ignored the remark.

Conover responded to E! News with laughter, expressing how improbable it would be for him and Paige to engage in clandestine activities while simply enjoying each other's company on her couch. He conveyed his belief that being secretive is no longer part of their shared reality.
Conover, who has been in a relationship with DeSorbo since 2021, mentioned that when he told his girlfriend about the rumors, she had a comparable response to him.
In a recent update, Conover expressed uncertainty about Green apologizing to DeSorbo for her words. He emphasized the importance of apologizing, as it can have a significant impact. Conover plans to inquire with Paige to confirm if an apology has been given.
Despite not believing that the Summer House star will hold a grudge against Green, he acknowledges that DeSorbo might never fully reconcile with someone who made those remarks about her.
Green later revealed to Us that she had apologized to the couple in a private conversation that was not aired. "We had a conversation, and I expressed my regret. It was a rumor, and I repeated it during a vulnerable moment," she told Us on Wednesday, October 11. "It goes back to the saying, 'Hurt people hurt people.' You hurt me, Craig. So, I retaliated."
Southern Charms airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
