See How Scheana Shay and More Are Supporting Carl Radke
The Vanderpump Rules cast member said she was "SO proud" of the Summer House OG as he celebrated three years of sobriety.
Scheana Shay gave a sweet shoutout to Carl Radke as he celebrated a major milestone.
On Sunday, January 7, the Vanderpump Rules cast member took to Instagram to share a message of support for the Summer House OG. Scheana posted a collage of throwback pictures that highlighted memorable moments from their years-long friendship, including their joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
“Happy 3 years of sobriety [Carl Radke]!” the former SURver captioned Instagram Story. “I’m so proud of you. You are an incredible human and deserve the world.”
Carl has been quite open about the ups and downs of his sobriety journey, which has been explored throughout the past few seasons of Summer House. Although he made several attempts to moderate his alcohol consumption, Carl said he found it especially difficult following the loss of his older brother, Curtis Radke, who died in 2020 after a long battle with substance abuse.
“The way I dealt with the grief and the pain was to continue to drink and party,” Radke told Insider last spring, explaining why he ultimately chose to go sober. “I hit my rock bottom in early January of 2021. And it was just time. I just didn’t want to live like that anymore.”

But Scheana wasn’t the only Bravoleb who recognized Carl’s accomplishment. On January 7, Summer House’s Kyle Cooke posted a photo of him and his good friend posing side-by-side at his wedding.
“Happy 3 year sober anniversary to my bestie [Carl Radke],” Kyle captioned the Instagram. "I’m so proud and inspired by your growth and determination to be the best version of yourself. Keep up the good work brother! I can’t wait to hit the road with you like the good ol’ days, this time with non-alcs in hand.”

The post, which Carl reshared on his Instagram Stories, received more than 40,000 “likes” and hundreds of comments.
“Thank you for supporting me on this journey brother,” Carl wrote in response to Kyle. “One day at a time.”
Summer House’s Andrea Denver; Family Karma’s Vishal Parvani; and The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Paul “Paulie” Connell also hopped in the comments section with encouraging and congratulatory words.

What's next for Carl Radke?
Fans can also catch Carl in the upcoming season of Summer House. Season 8 is expected to shed more light on the events leading up to his split from his castmate Lindsay Hubbard. The two got engaged in August of 2022 but called it quits late last summer, just months before they were set to tie the knot in Mexico. Carl addressed the breakup during BravoCon 2023, where he issued a public apology to his former fiancée.
“I just want to say this: I’m sorry because I understand the sanctity of an engagement and all that," Carl said during BravoCon Live with Andy Cohen! Charming House Rules. "I’m sorry that I hurt Lindsay. But at the end of the day, I really do believe that this decision is going to be better and healthier for the both of us.”
