Carl Radke is opening up about the explosive allegations that he relapsed on drugs from his now-ex-girlfriend Lindsay Hubbard.
Radke, 39, has been sober since 2020 following the loss of his brother that year, and during the Season 8 trailer, Hubbard apparently accuses him of using.
The accusations lead to an explosive fight, which the salesman revealed was a big factor in him calling off the wedding and breaking up with Hubbard, 37.
Season 8 of Summer House debuted Thursday on Bravo, though fans will have to wait until later in the season to see how everything unfolds.
Until then, Radke opened up about what happened in a new interview with E!, where he made it clear that he’s still sober.

‘I will say I just celebrated three years sobriety. Alcohol and cocaine were what brought me to my knees and I’m really proud that, through one day at a time and a lot of work and great support, I’m three years removed from those substances,’ he said.
‘That’s what was killing me and ruining my life. I’m really proud of where I’m at,’ Radke added.
He added that Hubbard questioning his sobriety this coming season wasn’t the first time that had happened since they started dating in early 2022.
‘That was something that had gone on before in the relationship, which is very unfortunate when you’re committing to a life of sobriety and wanting to live with purpose. I think people will understand how difficult that could be,’ he said.
That wasn’t the only issue in their relationship though, with Radke revealing there were other ‘core’ issues to deal with.
‘There were core things that after we were engaged had been going. “We started couples therapy in November of 2022,’ he admitted.
‘I wanted to try and strengthen and improve our communication, but we also had clear attachment differences, we have different traumas. It was important to me to really work on that,’ he explained.
Radke ended up calling off the engagement just three months before the wedding, adding that he hopes fans will get more clarity on his decision while watching Season 8 of Summer House.

‘I do pray that there be some clarity. I’ve had a lot of pent up anxiety and anticipation once the trailer came out, Radke admitted.
‘I did feel like it was like a Band-Aid being ripped off. I’m just slowly moving forward and, at the end of the day, I know the reality I lived in last summer,’ he said.
‘I think people are gonna watch and hopefully understand,’ he said, also admitting, ‘it’s going to be hard’ to watch this season unfold.
‘I’m probably going to see things that I’m not proud. But, also I do really believe we are going to be happier and healthier in different directions,’ he said.
