Overview
- On June 8 Berner told Dax Shepard on Armchair Expert that she was fired from Summer House and Bravo’s Chat Room and that producers told her she was “too much for reality TV.”
- Berner says behind-the-scenes cast friction and a disputed Truly hard-seltzer ad that she says clashed with Kyle Cooke’s Loverboy brand contributed to her being pushed out.
- Kyle Cooke has denied any role in casting decisions and Bravo has not publicly confirmed the specifics of Berner’s account.
- Berner says the firing became motivation to pursue stand-up full time and she has since released We Ride at Dawn, which hit No. 2 on Netflix in July 2024, and None of My Business, which debuted on Disney+ and Hulu on June 5, 2026.
- The episode highlights how reality shows prize cast cohesion and how outside brand deals and interpersonal disputes can shape casting and career paths for participants.
