Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke's drama, known as "cocaine Carl," caused a stir among the Summer House cast. On the latest episode of Bravo, several stars expressed their worries about the couple.

During a conversation with Carl, Kyle Cooke shared his concerns about Lindsay. "I love Lindsay to death, but as a friend, my biggest issue is that for years, she has not taken accountability or responsibility. She never owns up to her actions," Kyle said on the episode that aired on Thursday, March 7.

Kyle, who is 41 years old, wasted no time in shutting down Carl when he attempted to defend his then-fiancée, who is 37 years old. She had accused him of using drugs the previous night.

"Last night's behavior was not acceptable," Kyle expressed, referring to Lindsay's statement on the February 28 episode of the show. She had claimed that Carl was "on something," despite him being sober since 2021. "I see that you are trying to find solutions and make compromises. However, last night, she was the one causing the issue."

Carl confessed that he was feeling anxious about his upcoming wedding with Lindsay, which was scheduled for a few months later in summer 2023. This was because Lindsay accused him of reverting back to his old habits as "cocaine Carl" during the current season when he disagreed with her perspective on a certain situation.

Kyle expressed his concern to Carl, questioning how many times Lindsay would blame him for things that were not his fault. He worried about Carl constantly taking the blame for situations that were not his responsibility.

Carl couldn't answer Kyle's question, but he talked to Lindsay about his frustrations later that day.

In the episode, Carl admitted, "I didn't mean to ignore you. I care about you a lot. I was just trying to make you feel better last night... or at least I thought so." Lindsay then shared that his behavior at the club over the weekend made her believe he was upset with her for a bigger reason.

Carl shared that Lindsay's remarks about his sobriety were hurtful to him. He felt like she believed he was lying about being sober, even though she was the one who was not sober.

In response, Lindsay acknowledged that she was wrong to accuse Carl of relapsing. She explained that sometimes she still struggles with past memories of how Carl used to behave, which influenced her reaction.

Carl admitted that he also has fears about old Carl, but he emphasized the importance of considering his emotions. Despite appearing to resolve their issues, their housemates were not ready to move on so quickly.

During a group dinner, Ciara Miller questioned Carl about how he plans to sustain a relationship with Lindsay, who drinks while he chooses not to. Ciara expressed concerns about being in a relationship with someone who drinks and tends to become obnoxious and rude while drinking.

Carl mentioned that Lindsay has shown improvement over the past few years, acknowledging that it can be tough at times. Despite the challenges, he maintained that they always find a way to work things out.

However, as the episode progressed, Lindsay and Carl found themselves in disagreement once again, this time regarding Carl's perceived lack of ambition in his career.

Lindsay mentioned to the cameras that since Carl left Loverboy in November, they have been exploring his interests. He invested $20,000 in a career coach over six months to help him discover his passion and future path.

Upon their return to New York City, Lindsay brought up Carl's unemployment. He shared his idea of opening a "sober sports bar," where he could support those who have faced addiction by providing a space without alcohol.

Lindsay quickly rejected Carl's dream, saying she didn't want it for their future family. Carl was left speechless.

More than a month later, in July 2023, it was confirmed that Carl called off their engagement.

Summer House airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
