Carl Radke Shares He Got Offered Wine By A Hotel After Breaking Up With Lindsay Hubbard
Summer House star Carl Radke found himself in an unexpected situation after his recent breakup with ex-fiancée Lindsay Hubbard. Despite his commitment to sobriety, the 39-year-old reality star was gifted a bottle of wine in the aftermath of the emotional split.
Reflecting on the events that unfolded, Carl shared, “Part of the conversation at the end was, ‘Well, what are you going to do here?’ I said, ‘I’m going to take some space, give her the apartment,’ and so I got a hotel room that night down the street.” Carl revealed the irony of staying at the same hotel where he had previously experienced turmoil with Lindsay. He recounted, “[I] walk in [and] front desk guy’s like, ‘You alright?’ And I was not alright. I was crying and just disheveled. He’s like, ‘You know, so sorry you’re going through a tough time,’ [and] gives [me] my room key. I go up to my room, two minutes later, knock on the door. ‘Mr. Radke, so sorry, you’re going through a tough time. We have a fresh bottle of wine for you from the front desk.’”
Despite the gesture, Radke, who has been sober since 2021, was initially taken aback. “In that moment, I was like, ‘I don’t drink’ and just closed the door,” he recalled.
“I very easily could have taken that bottle and just closed the door and no one would have ever known. Thankfully, I did not and I got home to Pittsburgh for a few days to try to let things just simmer down.”
The breakup, which occurred in August 2023, months before their planned wedding, left both parties reeling. Lindsay claimed the split conversation was sudden, while Carl asserted that ongoing conflicts had preceded it. Reflecting on his actions, Carl expressed remorse for how he handled the situation.
Since giving up alcohol in 2021, Carl Radke has been open about his journey to sobriety. “I basically got sober from March [2020] until the middle of June. Going into the season, I was feeling really good,” he previously shared.
“I learned a lot about myself; I don’t have to drink to be fun or to be the cool guy.”
Despite the challenges of maintaining sobriety in a party-centric environment, Radke credited the show with positively impacting his life. “I’d like to think the show saved my life — seriously, I don’t know if I would have ever seen myself behave,” he disclosed. “I always thought that it was, like, fun, people being around me, but over time, that wasn’t the case.”
