Carl Radke called off his engagement to Lindsay Hubbard in season 8
Carl Radke He broke off his engagement with Lindsey Hubbard In the season 8 finale of summer house. The breakup came as a shock to Lindsay, who told the press she was “shocked” by the filmed breakup. Fans felt similarly when the news first broke in August 2023. The last time we saw the couple, they were celebrating their engagement in Season 7. However, viewers felt differently after season 8 aired. The pair spent almost the entire season at each other’s throats. The happy moments were sporadic and the fighting was constant. By the time Carl ended the relationship, it seemed like it was long overdue.
Let’s take a look at Lindsay and Carl’s worst moments in season 8 that led to their breakup:
Lindsay questions Carl’s sobriety
In the second episode, Lindsay accused Carl of not being sober during a night out. She even told Gabby Prescod that her fiancé’s behavior that night reminded her of what it was like when he was doing cocaine.
The accusation upset Carl, who has been working hard on his sobriety since 2021. He expressed how much the comment affected him and his feelings for Lindsay in his confessional.
“It’s very painful,” he said. “Is this the person I’m supposed to marry?” It just hurts me deep down. Accusing or insinuating that I’m up to something kills me.
The “night out” was not filmed but the couple helped piece together their explosive fight through confessions. They explained that they started fighting in a Lyft on their way to the bars. Lindsey said she was worried the girls would be upset because she rode with the boys instead of them. According to Lindsay, Carl was “dismissive” of her feelings. She ended up getting home before the rest of the crew. Cameras caught her entering the house at 1:26 a.m. talking about how much she “hated” her fiancé.
Carl maintained that he was sober that night and his co-stars supported him.
Lindsay shuts down Carl’s thoughts
It seems that career goals were a major issue for the couple this summer. Carl was trying to navigate his next stage in life and Lindsay had a lot of questions. Although it’s completely understandable to have questions about your fiancé’s career path, her concerns were often unsupportive. She talked about how she was attracted to a man who was driven and focused on his career but then shut down Carl’s thoughts about his future.
Carl needs a “yes” man?
Maybe Lindsay was too nosy sometimes. As the season progressed, fans began to think that he wanted Lindsay to be less of a partner and more of a “yes” man. He tells her that she needs to be “softer” towards him and more excited about his opportunities. He seems to want blind support, which is not a fair request from someone who is about to share your money and potentially raise your children.
Carl is driving his car
In Episode 13, Lindsay decides to spend more time in the Hamptons instead of returning to the city with Carl. Her decision upset Carl, who said he felt she had not taken it into consideration at all. The two talked about it and he seemed to come up with the idea. He agreed to take Lindsay’s luggage with him, and for a moment we thought the couple had quickly resolved the dispute. But we were wrong. Instead of waiting for his fiancée to load her luggage, he drove off and left.
Karl’s accusations
In the season finale, Carl broke up with Lindsay…on camera. During the breakup, he made some serious accusations, including saying that he thought Lindsay wanted him to relapse. This may stem from her calling him “cocaine Karl”.
“I think you think I’m sensitive and not a man, and I think you think I lack confidence, [and] He told her: “I think you think I have an anger problem.” OK.
Watching the end of Lindsay and Carl’s relationship wasn’t easy. I love these two as individuals but they seem to bring out the absolute worst in each other in season 8. Karl breaking off the engagement was the right decision.
