Lindsay Hubbard believes Dorinda Medley leaked her pregnancy to the producers of “The Traitors,” costing her a spot on the show’s next season. The “Summer House” star expressed her disappointment and sadness in a comment on an Instagram post by @tasteof_reality, which discussed the rumors.
Before Season 3 of the Peacock competition series began filming last month, an anonymous tipster claimed to gossip account Deuxmoi that a “bubbly Bravo star’s attempt to deceive went flat faster than a class of day-old Prosecco.” The tipster suggested that this star, who was later identified as Hubbard, thought she could keep her pregnancy a secret. However, when a “certain Bravo Dame” found out, she allegedly informed the producers, leading to Hubbard being replaced on the show.
The tip alluded to Hubbard, Medley, and Hubbard’s “Summer House” co-star Ciara Miller. Medley has a reputation for going “berserk” at her home in the Berkshires, where she has hosted her “Real Housewives of New York City” and “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” co-stars. The tipster claimed that Medley went “berserk to producers” upon learning about Hubbard’s pregnancy, resulting in Hubbard being cut from the show and replaced by Miller.
Despite Hubbard’s belief, a source close to the production told Page Six that there is “absolutely no truth” to the information given to Deuxmoi. Representatives for Hubbard, Medley, and Peacock did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
After weeks of speculation, Hubbard confirmed on the Fourth of July that she is pregnant. She shared the news on Instagram, posting photos of herself holding a positive pregnancy test and expressing her excitement about welcoming her “little #HubbCub” in the holiday season of 2024. Hubbard revealed that she has been dating an old flame since January, a doctor who works in biotech investing and prefers to stay out of the public eye.
Hubbard explained that she found out she was pregnant only a few months into their relationship but insisted they are both thrilled to welcome their first child. She acknowledged the pressure on their new relationship but emphasized that their strong bond and effective communication have made it feel less like work.
The rumors about Medley leaking Hubbard’s pregnancy have sparked significant speculation among fans. On July 4, @tasteof_reality made an Instagram post based on one of their stories, with the headline “Dorinda Medley Allegedly Leaked Lindsay Hubbard’s Pregnancy.” Hubbard’s comment on the post, calling the situation “awful,” “disappointing,” and “sad,” seemed to confirm the rumor.
Taste of Reality’s full coverage cited two sources spreading rumors on the matter. The first source claimed that Hubbard was “definitely pregnant” and that Medley “literally snitched on her to producers,” leading to Hubbard being fired and replaced by Miller. A second source mentioned that another potential contestant, an unnamed Housewife, was not allowed to compete due to pregnancy, suggesting it would have been unfair to let Hubbard participate given the physical challenges of the show.
Despite the rumors, a Bravo source exclusively told Us Weekly that there is “absolutely no truth” to the claims about Medley leaking Hubbard’s pregnancy. The source emphasized that Hubbard’s involvement in “The Traitors” was never confirmed by Peacock, and Miller is the official “Summer House” representative for Season 3.
Hubbard announced her pregnancy less than a year after her split from Carl Radke. Season 8 of “Summer House,” which filmed in 2023, began with Hubbard and Radke making wedding plans. However, cameras later captured Radke ending their engagement three months before their November 2023 nuptials. Hubbard described the breakup as one of the most traumatic experiences of her adult life but noted that she has already done the healing for it.
Radke denied going to producers with the decision to end their relationship, stating that he did not call production to set her up. He expressed regret that Hubbard felt that way but maintained that he did not involve production in their breakup.
Hubbard has since moved on with her new partner, whom she reconnected with after her split from Radke. She shared that they went on a few dates three and a half years ago but reconnected in December and started dating in January. Hubbard described their relationship as serious and praised her partner for being a great support.
While keeping much of their relationship private, Hubbard opened up about her partner’s reaction to her pregnancy. She said he is excited to be a dad and proud to be having a child with her. She emphasized that their strong bond and effective communication have made the pressure on their new relationship more manageable.
The rumors about Medley leaking Hubbard’s pregnancy continue to circulate, but the truth remains unclear. Fans are left to speculate whether Medley indeed cost Hubbard her spot on “The Traitors” or if the rumors are simply unfounded.
