Summer House Season 9: Tensions Rise as Lindsay Confronts Carl
The latest installment of Summer House, aired on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, introduced viewers to rising tensions as Carl unveiled his new business venture to the cast. While many of his friends joined in celebrating this new chapter, his ex-fiancée, Lindsay Hubbard, voiced her discontent regarding his recent actions.
In a candid discussion with her friend Gabby Prascod, Lindsay expressed her frustrations, stating that she was tired of hearing about Carl’s future plans, particularly since she believed his business was simply a waste of money without tangible results. During their talk, Lindsay inquired if Carl’s new romantic interest had made an appearance, referencing a woman who reportedly reached out to him through DMs last year. Gabby recounted how this woman claimed to have initiated contact with Carl via social media.
Diving deeper into her feelings, Lindsay reflected on a pivotal moment from their relationship. She recalled a conversation with Carl prior to their breakup, where she noticed a message from another woman open on his phone while they were hugging.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
The unfolding drama did not go unnoticed by Summer House fans, many of whom took to social media to react to Lindsay’s emotional outbursts about Carl. One user on X remarked:
“Lindsay is ACTIVATED. She said Carl was talking to Lil before he broke up with her and is going to confront him.”
“Lindsay is an emotional terrorist; she got pregnant by someone else just weeks after Carl dumped her, but she wants to question his timeline???”a fan commented.
“It’s both sad and pathetic that Lindsay remains fixated on Carl. It’s clear she isn’t living her best life. The guy she’s currently with likely has no intentions of marrying her….and she knows it,”another tweet read.
Lindsay’s Anger Described as “Unnecessary”
Many viewers believe that Lindsay’s anger toward Carl is unwarranted, with one fan stating:
“I need Lindsay to be for real. She wasn’t in love with Carl, especially at that point. They could barely stand each other. She just wanted to get married and feared calling off the wedding. Getting activated now, while she’s pregnant, is unnecessary,”a person wrote.
“I don’t care what Carl was doing. Neither should Lindsay. They were an extremely toxic couple, but it seems Lindsay hasn’t received the memo, as she is still upset over alleged DMs,”another viewer commented.
Another viewer reflected on Lindsay’s perspective:
“I’ll answer the question: Lindsay cares about what Carl was doing with another woman because they were still a couple. She was planning to marry him, and he’s making her the problem while he’s the one heartbroken,”wrote a fan.
“Lindsay knew that Carl was communicating with this other girl. She even saw that the girl was texting him her phone number. Why didn’t she bring this up at the reunion or when the girls visited her apartment?”another fan noted.
Revelations of Cheating
In an emotional exchange with Gabby, Lindsay alleged that Carl had been unfaithful. She recounted a troubling incident from just days before their breakup in August 2023, after a football game, where she noticed an open DM on Carl’s phone when she embraced him.
“So now it’s all making sense to me,”she expressed. “Before we even ended things, he was going around saying, ‘I’m such a victim, I haven’t moved on,’ pretending as if he hadn’t dated anyone else since our breakup.”Lindsay characterized Carl’s behavior as gaslighting and manipulative, adding “cheater”to his growing list of negative traits in her eyes.
