Hannah Berner of ‘Summer House’ Claims She Wasn’t Fired

Hannah Berner recently opened up about her departure from Bravo’s hit series Summer House. The comedian had a notable fallout with co-stars Amanda Batula and her husband, Kyle Cooke, particularly over issues related to Cooke’s beverage company, Loverboy.

During an appearance on the BFFs podcast hosted by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, Berner addressed rumors circulating since Season 5 of the reality show. Portnoy asked if it was “true” that she was axed for sponsoring a rival seltzer drink.

“Oh, wow, Dave is on his s–t. The truth is beef started ’cause I did an ad for Truly [Hard] Seltzer, and I didn’t know that I, like, wasn’t allowed to,” Berner, 32, explained.

Berner clarified that “Bravo didn’t fire” her, suggesting that “some people on the cast got annoyed at [her], and then it kind of snowballed.” Portnoy then pressed further, questioning if her co-stars’ frustrations were due to Loverboy.

“Yeah, that was a big storyline on the show. I didn’t know that I wasn’t allowed to drink other drinks,” Berner responded. She highlighted that “some of these shows become a lot of egos.”

“And it’s like, ‘It’s my show. It’s my drink. You can’t do that.’ And there’s no rules, and it just becomes fighting over egos and screen time, and it’s not that fun after doing it for too many seasons,” Berner added.

The influencer, who left Summer House in 2021, had initially announced her departure to focus on her comedy career. Recently, she released a comedy special titled We Ride at Dawn on Netflix.

Before joining the cast of Summer House, Berner was a regular on the popular chat show The Taylor Strecker Show.
