Danielle Olivera is shutting down former best friend Lindsay Hubbard’s claim she gave Carl Radke a hand job.
“Just in case this isn’t actually cleared up later on, it was a lie then, it’s a lie now,” Danielle, 37, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, May 20.
The rumor mill went into overdrive after Lindsay, 39, made a shocking accusation about Danielle’s alleged hookup with her ex-fiancé Carl, 41, during the premiere of Summer House spinoff In the City, which aired on Tuesday, May 19. (Lindsay and Carl were engaged for one year before their 2023 split.)
During the episode, Lindsay made it clear that she didn’t trust her former Summer House castmate Danielle because she allegedly “s***s” on Lindsay “any chance” she can get.
Lindsay Hubbard and Danielle Olivera’s friendship was a constant on Bravo’s Summer House before their 2022 feud — and they’ve since continued to have their ups and downs. 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, […]
“Every year it’s something” Lindsay alleged, pulling up a timeline of Danielle’s supposed wrongdoings, the oldest of which dated back to season 4 of Summer House in 2019.
“Carl and I try to date, [it] didn’t work out. He breaks up with me,” Lindsay said of that timeframe, claiming, “One week later, she’s giving him a hand job in the back of an Uber.”
Lindsay further alleged during a discussion with pal Kyle Cooke that when “Carl and I got engaged, she had a freak out.”

She doubled down on her claims about Danielle and Carl, telling Kyle, “Before Carl and I got engaged, she gave him a hand job in the back of an Uber a week after we broke up. That’s f***ing weird.”
Danielle’s rep denied the claims on Wednesday, telling Page Six in a statement, “The allegation is completely untrue and always has been. It has been very upsetting for Danielle, particularly as a woman, to have these baseless and damaging claims resurfaced again.”
The rep added, “It is unfair to continue subjecting her name and reputation to allegations that have no basis in fact and absolutely no truth to them.”
Jilted best friend? Danielle Olivera got “emotional” over Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke’s engagement on Summer House after being excluded from the planning phase. “I’m glad Carl included me in the whole thing because that’s really f—king cool. Whatever,” Danielle, 34, said sarcastically during the Monday, May 8, episode of Summer House after Kyle Cooke […]
Lindsay, for her part, seemingly reacted to Danielle’s denial on Wednesday via her Instagram Story. “Rewatch season 4 and call me later,” she wrote alongside an eggplant and a hand emoji.
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Lindsay and Danielle for comment.
As fans of Summer House know, Danielle and Carl dated before the show premiered in 2017. Carl and Lindsay became fast friends filming season 1 of the Bravo series in 2016, alongside Kyle, 43.

Danielle joined the cast during season 2, and formed a connection with Lindsay. Her friendship with Carl also blossomed on camera and the trio later called themselves the “Three Amigos.”
Lindsay and Carl briefly dated during season 4, which filmed in 2019, while Carl and Danielle made out during the season finale.
Years later, Carl and Lindsay rekindled their romance following Kyle and now-estranged wife Amanda Batula’s September 2021 wedding. (Kyle and Amanda, 34, announced their split in January.)
Amanda Batula dropped a financial bombshell about her and estranged husband Kyle Cooke during the In the City premiere — surprising fans and her castmates. During the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the Summer House spinoff, Amanda, 34, confided in Lindsay Hubbard about her and Kyle’s money drama as the pair continued to work through their […]
Carl proposed to Lindsay in August 2022, but didn’t include Danielle in any of the planning. The slight caused a rift between Lindsay and Danielle, which grew when Danielle didn’t publicly congratulate the pair on their engagement.
When Carl called off his and Lindsay’s wedding in August 2023, Danielle was again by Lindsay’s side. Danielle exclusively told Us in October 2023 that she was firmly on “Team Lindsay.”
However, their relationship hit another bump in the road when Lindsay was pregnant with her first baby in summer 2024 — and not living with her then-partner Turner Kufe. Danielle made “all of these comments” about her life choices at the time, which Lindsay felt was Danielle “s***ing on me.”

According to Danielle, when she and Lindsay began filming In the City in September 2025 — one year after Danielle exited Summer House — she and Lindsay hadn’t spoken in four months.
Danielle claimed on the In the City premiere that Lindsay “ghosted our friendship” after she met Gemma, whom Lindsay gave birth to in December 2024. (Lindsay and Kufe are no longer together.)
Danielle, for her part, announced in May that she is pregnant with her and boyfriend Eoin Heavey‘s first baby.
In the City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
