Paige DeSorbo, who graduated college in 2015, chose an unconventional path over a stable career in local TV, seeking fulfillment in New York City. After initially working as an executive assistant at ABC, she landed a role on Bravo's 'Summer House,' which ignited her unexpected journey as a reality TV star. Known for her New York authenticity—assertive, direct, and genuine—DeSorbo stands out in the reality landscape despite her initial apprehensions. She urges others to take risks to pursue what they truly want in life.
Instead, she persuaded her parents to foot six months of rent in New York City so that she could try to find something better. She took a job as an executive assistant at ABC before landing a role on Summer House, a Bravo reality show that follows young New Yorkers as they spend debaucherous summer weekends at a shared house in the Hamptons.
So began Ms. DeSorbo's unexpected career as a reality star. To date, she's appeared on three Bravo shows: Summer House, Winter House, and Southern Charm, despite the fact that, in many ways, she's the antithesis of the modern-day reality personality.
I remember just getting the biggest pit in my stomach of like no, that's not my life. No way, Ms. DeSorbo, now 32, said in a recent interview.
He was saying: Do it for the first summer, and if you hate it, we'll get you out of it. You never have to go back. And if you love it, you'll never wonder, Oh, imagine if I didn't do this. And honestly, after the second weekend, I was like, I love it.
