Craig Conover Reacts to Andy Cohen’s Paige DeDorbo Jab at BravoCon

Craig Conover isn’t pleading the fifth after getting roasted by Andy Cohen.

During BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas, Andy Cohen jokingly mentioned Craig Conover’s ex, Paige DeSorbo, on Watch What Happens Live. Craig has now shared his honest reaction to Andy’s playful dig.

Craig described the experience as “fine” in an interview with Decider on November 16th. He explained that he considered the joke to be harmless, adding that Andy Cohen had asked him beforehand how much teasing he could handle at The Bravos. Craig said he responded that a rating of ‘eight or nine out of ten’ would be okay, and that he was comfortable with the situation.

Craig is glad to move past the drama surrounding his breakup with the former Summer House cast member, and Andy’s playful teasing didn’t bother him at all.

Paige is definitely a reality TV icon,” the 36-year-old explained. “The funny thing is, we dated for three years and everyone knew it. I just thought it was a kind gesture – you know, being nice versus being unkind – and I found it amusing.”

Andy’s shade was thrown as he was hosting The Bravos award ceremony on Nov. 16.

During an event celebrating reality TV stars, Andy Cohen playfully teased Craig Conover. He announced to the audience that Craig was single, praising his looks and lifestyle—before quickly correcting himself to say those descriptions actually applied to Paige instead.

Madison LeCroy, Craig’s costar, is totally okay with him dating around. She said, “He’s someone who likes being in a relationship, so I think he deserves to enjoy himself. I’m actually cheering him on to be a little naughty!”

See the drama play out when Southern Charm returns Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Craig hinted at a complicated love life in the upcoming season of Southern Charm. He suggested a love triangle will develop involving his co-star Salley Carson and newcomer Charley Manley.

He told TopMob News in an exclusive interview on November 15th that he was enjoying himself because he felt like he was learning as he went. He’s still figuring things out in life, and the addition of two new cast members has brought a renewed energy to the show. He feels like he’s rediscovered a spark, and there’s a definite chemistry between everyone – it’s fun, flirty, and a great fit for the Charleston setting.

Madison LeCroy, Craig’s costar, is completely okay with him dating around. She said, “He’s someone who likes being in a relationship, so I think he deserves to enjoy himself. I’m actually cheering him on to be a little mischievous!”
