usmagazine.com:

A haunting moment. Carl Radke compared his heartbreaking fallout with late brother Curtis Radke to his season 7 Summer House drama with Kyle Cooke.“Season 1 of Summer House … I was drinking and partying.

I was all over the place,” Carl, 38, recalled during part 2 of the season 7 Summer House reunion, which aired on Monday, June 5. “I used to show up to interviews drunk, like, in the studio during the week.”The former Loverboy vice president of sales remembered one confessional in which he candidly discussed his siblings’ ups and downs with drugs. (Curtis died in August 2020 after a lifelong battle with mental illness and addiction, which was captured on camera during season 5 of the Bravo series.)“In the chair, I spoke about my brother’s heroin addiction.

It wasn’t my place. He watched the show, like, ‘All excited to see my brother on TV,’ and [in reality] he watches the show and it’s me railing into him about his addiction,” Carl told his castmates. “It really was damaging and really hurt our relationship.”The Pennsylvania native confessed: “I harbored a lot of anger toward him because I couldn’t come to grips that I also had issues and I was blaming him.

But I was the one on TV, like, trying to glorify being this party boy. And it f—ked me up.”Carl further explained that he and Curtis “didn’t talk” after the incident and that silence between them continued until his passing. “I never got the chance to say anything,” he added while holding back tears.The businessman, who has been sober since January 2021, then turned his attention to longtime BFF Kyle, 40, whom he was at odds with while filming season 7 in summer 2022.
