There is some seriously juicy tea going around about Summer House star Carl Radke that may shed more light on the decision to end his engagement to Lindsay Hubbard last month.
Now, we have to preface that this gossip is pure speculation and is all ALLEGED. These are unconfirmed reports that we hope will eventually be addressed, whether true or false, during season 8 of Summer House.

Bravo and Cocktails received intel that Carl Radke may have NOT been “100% sober” this summer.
An alleged insider claims:
“I have a friend who partied with the Summer House crew a few weeks back, and he said that Carl may not drink, but he’s definitely not sober. I saw the same friend today and asked if he sensed any weirdness when he saw them out. He said, “[No], but I wouldn’t be surprised if [the split] was about that he definitely is still doing drugs.”
Carl, who has starred on Bravo’s Summer House since the show’s inception in 2017, has previously been very vocal about the ups and downs of his battle with sobriety.
After four seasons of boozing it up on Summer House, Carl got sober in the Spring of 2020. He later started drinking again ahead of production for season 5 of Summer House.
“I basically got sober from March [2020] until the middle of June. Going into the season, I was feeling really good,” Carl told Us Weekly in February 2021. “I learned a lot about myself; I don’t have to drink to be fun or to be the cool guy. … And I certainly had some other things I was working on personally, and it’s just better to work on those when you’re sober. So, I went in this summer thinking moderation was going to be my friend. I felt really good about that. I will say, it’s hard being in the house with everybody and having all these different things going on.”
The 38-year-old did have “some drinks here and there” while filming season 5 as he attempted to find a balance with his drinking.
However, Carl’s attempts to curtail his drinking were dashed when he learned that his brother, Curtis, died of a drug overdose on August 10, 2020.

“It was obviously very traumatic and very difficult. I mean, I was mic’d up. It’s a crazy experience,” Carl explained to Entertainment Tonight in April 2021. “It’s put a lot of perspective in my life and what’s important. My brother hated me on Bravo. We kind of had a beef because I was on Bravo looking like I’m the man and drinking and having fun, and he’s at home struggling. And I was kind of making light of his challenges and acting like I was fine, and I wasn’t. I was low-key struggling. That caused a big rift between us. So the fact that I’ve had to face it now, [and] he’s now on the show in some capacity was surreal, but I think his story truthfully can help a lot of people, and I hope mine as well.”
In the months following Curtis’ death, Carl hit his “lowest” point before deciding to get sober in January of 2021.
A year later, Carl celebrated one year of sobriety in January 2022.
“I made a commitment to try and get sober because I have a family that has addiction,” he told CNN in April 2022. “When you go through the depths and the scariness that I had, it’s obviously very hard because it’s scary to tell your friends and your family, like, ‘Hey, I got a problem. I’m not gonna drink. And can you support me?’”
Tell us – Do you think there’s any truth to these claims that Carl “isn’t 100% sober?”
