Carl Radke he can confirm that he’s “still a mess” — and has a lot of thoughts about how West Wilson he did it on time Summer House season 10 reunion.
“I think a lot of us were hoping to feel the feeling you get when someone apologizes and takes responsibility,” Carl, 41, said. Us Weekly especially on Tuesday, May 26, when I reflected on the reunion at the Carl’s Not a Mess event in Brooklyn, hosted by Gonna Need Milk. “And I didn’t.”
Carl said he still “hasn’t gotten” those feelings from West and the costar Amanda Batula when you watch the emotional reunion.
“That’s the hard part,” he continued, “people are really hurt.”
Part 1 of the Summer House reunion, which premiered on Tuesday, attempted to detail the timeline of Amanda, 34, and West’s shocking romance. Amanda moved from her marriage to a costar Kyle Cooke and West, who once dated her best friend Ciara Miller.
“Watching that s***, footage of West at his family’s house with Kyle. Like, he didn’t just bring Ciara home, he brought Kyle home, and he did that,” Carl continued. “It’s just demonic. So watching that clip, it’s like, it’s hard to process.”
Kyle noted during Tuesday’s reunion that he considers West a close friend before the latest relationship drama, which Amanda and West denied was a “sex scandal.” The biggest problem for the Summer House cast was Amanda and West’s lying before they went public with their romance in late March.
Carl told us that he “100 percent” sees Amanda and West’s behavior throughout the season in a “new lens” knowing they are together.
“I never put my hands on women that I don’t like or look at. So watching some of them back makes me angry. It makes me angry,” Carl said, referring to West’s behavior toward Amanda, which has been circulated online. “I don’t know, I don’t like it.”
One thing Carl struggled with was how they made him “question everything” – even after the reunion.
“It’s still being asked,” he said, joking that “there’s more to come” in Amanda’s interview with West.
“I will always be positive,” he added. “I feel like we got a lot off our chest, put it on the table, but I think even since the meeting ended, I’ve seen other little things happen. The podcasts, they’re public, and those tell me a different story. Those tell me you don’t give a shit.”
For Carl, the only “real apology” from Amanda and West at this point would be to see them change their behavior.
“You can say sorry all day, but West and his need to dig deep, and, I think, find themselves” he continued. “I’ve said it many times, I have no room for such s***.”
He added, “A lot of us have really been through a lot in this game, and this feels crazy and different and tricky and fake. I can’t remember a time when it felt that way.”
Moving forward, Carl continues to focus on his Soft Bar business and his sanity, and his love for milk makes for a great partnership.
“As a sober person, there are a lot of options. This is a different kind of thing to have fun with,” he explained. “I think people forget that there are White Russians, there are Black Russians, there are tons of drinks – piña coladas – that use milk. So why not have a healthy mental health, fun night.”
Carl explained that he had been “drinking milk from a carton” since he was a child.
“I still argue that the reason I am so tall is because of the milk,” he added. “I have never broken a bone, so thank you sis.”
Part 2 of the Summer House reunion airs Tuesday, June 2, on Bravo at 8 pm ET. All episodes of season 10 are now streaming on Peacock.
