‘Summer House’ Paige DeSorbo Gets Candid About Panic Attacks
Summer House star Paige DeSorbo is getting candid about her panic attacks that struck at the worst possible time. She has been shown feeling off mentally during Season 9, but now, it has reached a new level, and she is not holding back. Keep reading for more details on what went down.
Paige DeSorbo Gets Candid About Panic Attacks
This season on Summer House, Paige DeSorbo has a lot on her plate. She and her Giggly Squad co-host, Hannah Berner, are getting ready to go on tour. Plus, they have a book coming out, and she is reevaluating her relationship with Craig Conover. They have been together for three years, but he has always wanted to settle down, get married, and have kids. However, Paige’s career is taking off, and Craig is eager to know where and how he fits in. This has her contemplating what she should do and if the relationship is still working for her.
Paige eventually called it off with Craig at the end of 2024, and it was not mutual. There have been cheating allegations on both sides, but Craig was visibly broken. Now, Paige is opening up about launching the biggest moment of her career, yet struggling right before. She showed up on the Good Hang podcast and shared how she had a panic attack just fifteen minutes before one of her first live shows:
“This describes tour — we were in Denver, we had just started our tour. We’re about to go out on stage in like fifteen minutes and I’m like, ‘No. I think I’m having a panic attack. My hands are numb, I’m crying, I’m throwing up.’”
Paige had taken a break from the Hamptons on Summer House to go home and just deal with her emotions. She knew she needed to take care of herself in order to thrive, but it was still not easy. Paige’s tour co-host, Hannah Berner, tried to help by playing spa music, but it was not enough. A lot of factors played into Paige’s moment, and it just kept mounting:
“I’m literally in the midst of crying, tears are running down my face. I realized that Hannah has forgotten her shirt that she’s wearing out on stage. So she’s gonna wear this silk pajama shirt that the venue had given us, like this merch. I can’t even speak, and the only words I can get out is: ‘You can’t wear that shirt on stage!’”

Trying To Reclaim Herself
After her panic attack and realizing she hated Hannah Berner’s borrowed shirt, how did the Summer House star get it together? Hannah looked at Paige DeSorbo and noted how she was having a panic attack, but was still dictating her outfit. Fortunately, Paige had a backup shirt with her, and once that issue was solved, she snapped out of her panic. She did attempt to seek solace from her mother, but that did not work as planned, yet it led to a lot of laughter, as Hannah shared:
“I’m just listening, supporting, and all I hear is, ‘Paige, stop. Paige, stop it. You’re fine. Paige, you’re fine.’ She hangs up. We start dying laughing. We were like, ‘Your mom just told you to stop!’”
It seemed that her mom did not think panic attacks were a thing and wanted Paige to suck it up. They have since been killing the tour and book game. Their book debuted very high on the charts, so that was a big moment for the ladies. Fans love their podcast, and the SH reunion just wrapped, so Season 9 is officially over for Paige DeSorbo.
