Kyle Cooke Reveals the Minimum Bid to Invest in Loverboy: "I Could Not Afford That”

The Loverboy founder's tension with Paige DeSorbo came to a dramatic head on Summer House Season 9, Episode 4. 

Kyle Cooke's issues with Craig Conover are getting deeper on Summer House Season 9.

As viewers saw when Kyle was DJing a set in New York City on Season 9, Episode 3, Paige DeSorbo read out some "rage texts" Kyle sent her after he saw some of the things Craig and Hannah Berner were saying about him in the press. 

Fast-forward to the next weekend at the share house — and the next episode — and Kyle addressed why he was so upset with Craig at Lindsay Hubbard's sex reveal.

According to Kyle and Amanda Batula, Craig received an offer to do a collaboration with a competing drink company. Kyle said he wanted to take some time to come up with a "proposal" for Craig to invest in Loverboy instead; however, in the meantime, Kyle said that Craig decided to go with the other business opportunity. 

As a result, Ciara Miller asked Kyle how much it would cost for someone to invest in Loverboy.

"$25,000, the same price it was in 2019," Kyle responded. 

"I could not afford that right now," West Wilson joked. 

The moment actually broke the ice between West and Ciara, as she laughed at his joke. 

"That was funny," she said. 

The tension was soon back at the dinner table, though, as Kyle shared his candid thoughts on Craig's decision to work with a different alcohol company before ultimately stating, "I'm happy to talk to Craig about it, like, quite frankly, it's a moot point. I thought we were closer than this."

Details on Kyle Cooke's drama with Paige DeSorbo

Paige found herself in the middle of Kyle's drama with her then-boyfriend. After years of trying to "play Switzerland" between Kyle and Amanda and Craig and Hannah, Paige was done with the situation.

"And I thought we were closer than you just texting me berating my boyfriend and my best friend," she said to Kyle at the table.

"I was hurt," Kyle responded, and Paige got up from the table and walked away. She soon turned to address Kyle again. "I just said I don't even care about the Hannah stuff. Right now, history is repeating itself. We're fighting because Craig did something with another drink company."

After officially leaving and heading back inside the house, Paige heard Kyle accuse her of being "two-faced."

"I'm being two-faced? Did you just say I'm being two-faced? How f-----g dare you. I'm actually an adult. I was able to maintain a friendship with Hannah, never speak ill of your wife, and then maintain a friendship with Amanda, never speaking ill of Hannah," Paige shot back. "That's actually being mature and an adult, not two-faced. What you do was two-faced. Rage texting me and then acting like it's all good is two-faced."

"Have your moment," Kyle responded before Paige walked away for the second time.

Once she did, Kyle added, "The amount of lies that are being spread about me and my business is so f-----g asinine."
