Breaking Down 'Summer House' Costars Lindsay Hubbard and Danielle Olivera's Feud: A Timeline

From allies to foes? Lindsay Hubbard and Danielle Olivera's friendship was a constant on Bravo's Summer House — until it wasn't. Viewers had a front row seat to Lindsay and Danielle's special bond since season 2 aired in 2018. After four seasons of supporting each other on screen, however, things took a turn when the app developer didn't congratulate her good friend on her engagement to Carl Radke. At the time, Danielle claimed that her decision not to address the news on social media didn't reflect her status with Lindsay. "Social media is a strange animal. I think that I was just exhausted from summer. I'm juggling so many things. I am obviously very, very happy for them," she exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2022, one month after the couple announced the exciting news. "I did not see it coming. But who could not love love?" The New York native noted that she was surprised by Carl and Lindsay's major milestone, adding, "Looking back, it is surprising in that sense. They just moved into a gorgeous apartment together, so I thought they might just do that for a little bit. But everyone is on a different timeframe and it is what it is." [jwplayer xnflcl8T-zhNYySv2] One month later, Lindsay and Danielle confirmed that they were at odds after filming wrapped on season 7. “You talk to anyone who you know, is ever beefing with a best friend and it's just like, it's sad,” the publicist shared with Us in October 2022 at BravoCon. Summer House costar Amanda Batula weighed in on the feud as well, telling Us in December 2022, “The way things were handled [was] a little bit surprising, especially as the summer went on. I don't think any of us expected certain conversations or things to play out the way that they did.” The graphic designer continued: “And there's a lot of conversations and discussions that we're not privy to that we'll also be watching unfold and getting a better understanding of what happened instead of like, she said, she said. So, we'll all kind of just have to wait to see.” As the hit reality series returned with its seventh season on Bravo, Lindsay offered an update on her friendship with Danielle. "She did congratulate us — or at least me — privately [on our engagement]. I think a lot about our engagement and Danielle — we are all going to see it [during season 7]," she explained during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live ​With Andy Cohen in February 2023. "We are still working it out. As far as mending our friendship, the challenge is that we haven't really seen each other. From what I have heard, she's working through some things in her personal life and we are planning a wedding so I think right now we are on different paths."

“I think there was a lot of stuff [that] happened this summer,” the Hubb House PR founder exclusively told Us at BravoCon about the "unfortunate" change. “I can’t really get into too many of the details, but she betrayed me a lot, a lot. [There were] things that a best friend shouldn’t do to your best friend, and I’ll just leave it at that.”

Lindsay added: “I mean there's only, like, a handful of reasons why you don't support your best friend in vague chapters of their life. There's only a handful of reasons. You have to dig deep and figure out what those reasons are.”

According to Lindsay, season 7 of Summer House would offer her answers about her rift with Danielle.

"I look forward to figuring that out along with the viewers, because I spent my entire summer just very confused," she shared with Us about her plans to tune into the hit Bravo series. "I would never have guessed that this is where our friendship would've ended up."

She continued: "When we got engaged and the way that she reacted — it was kind of, like, the straw that broke the camel's back me. Because all summer I'm listening and hearing all these hurtful things that she's saying about us. It seemed like she was very supportive of us walking into the summer and then all of a sudden that didn't happen, and her dialogue became the opposite of that."

Lindsay clapped back after Danielle claimed her former friend didn't try to mend their rift because she was planning a wedding.

"No.. I didn’t reach out because I wasn’t ready to forgive all the things she did and said over summer - where she made it clear she was not in support of my growth & happiness," Lindsay wrote in the comments section of Instagram account Bravo By Betches. "You cannot be a bad friend to someone and then expect them to be a supportive friend back to you. Makes no sense. Sorry."

March 2023

Throughout season 7 of Summer House, which filmed in summer 2022, Danielle voiced concerns over Lindsay and Carl’s accelerated romance. “That’s what I’m scared of, it’s a little too fairy tale-like,” Danielle said during the March 13 episode. “They’re playing house.”

The tech guru confessed that she “1,000 percent” thought the couple were moving too fast. “I think to get engaged right now would be crazy,” Danielle told some of her housemates.

During the March 27 episode, Danielle called out Lindsay for changing her personality — and party girl ways — amid her romance. “To be honest, you are curbing your drinking or intensity when you’re around him,” Danielle told the publicist, who responded, “Isn’t that kind of a good thing?” Danielle, however, didn’t let it go, confessing, “I fell in love with you the way you f—king were.”

Lindsay then fired back at her former BFF: “Danielle, you’re always hard on me. You’ve been getting very hard on me.” Danielle then quipped, “Oh, I’m sorry. If your best friend is not f—king hard on you, she shouldn’t be your best friend.”

May 2023

After a summer full of tension, viewers finally saw what happened between Lindsay and Danielle after Carl proposed to the publicist during season 7, episode 13, of Summer House. The episode, which was filmed in August 2022, revealed that Carl popped the question without running it by Lindsay’s then-BFF Danielle — despite the fact that the women had been feuding all summer.

“I’m glad Carl included me in the whole thing because that’s really f—king cool. Whatever,” Danielle sarcastically said during the show after learning from Kyle Cooke about the proposal. “It says a lot without saying anything.”

The app designer called the moment “so f—ked up” as she held back tears. “Carl didn’t say anything to me,” she reiterated before speaking directly to the cameras about her anger. “This is my girl who I’ve been rooting for, especially when it comes to men. She’s finally got her Prince Charming and I’m not part of that? It breaks my f—king heart.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Lindsay expressed frustration after learning that Danielle had been complaining to all her friends at her engagement party about the special moment. “You made my entire engagement — the happiest moment of our lives — about you,” Lindsay told the cameras, claiming that Danielle’s actions were “just the icing on top of what you’ve done all summer."

She added: "Not only are you not my best friend anymore, but you’re not my friend. Zero. Zilch. Done.”
