Bravo’s Captain Lee Rosbach Opens Up About Surprising Fallout with Carl Radke Following Dispute
Captain Lee Rosbach has jumped ship when it comes to his former friendship with Carl Radke.
In fact, the Below Deck alum revealed he had a major falling out with the Summer House star after Carl’s breakup with Lindsay Hubbard.
“Carl and I used to be close,” the 74-year-old shared on the June 6 episode of his Salty With Captain Lee podcast. “I gave Carl an opportunity to be on the podcast and tell it as he saw it. If there was a question he wanted taken off, we took it off. If there was something he didn’t want to answer, we didn’t put him on the spot, we didn’t hang him out to dry. It was a softball interview if I’ve ever seen one. I would have never done something intentionally to put Carl on the spot.”
But after recording the sit-down in November at BravoCon in Las Vegas with his Salty cohost Sam DeCavalcanti, he was blindsided by Carl.
“I got a phone call, he just went off, how I was trying to take advantage of him and put him on the spot,” Lee told Sam. “His publicist was there, as was mine, you were there. I was blown away. I don’t know what made him go off the way he went off or why he thought what he was thinking.”
Sam was equally dumbfounded by Carl’s reaction.
“He was well aware of the conversation,” she recounted. “It didn’t paint Lindsay in a bad light, it didn’t paint him in a bad light. It actually was, I would say, complimentary in that time when it was a very sensitive time. It was almost like Jekyll and Hyde.”
However, after Carl demanded they didn’t air the interview, Lee said he was more than happy to scrap the episode.
“He ended up hanging up on me after accusing me of deceiving him,” Lee recalled. “Mr. Radke, you were never deceived by me.”
Ultimately, Lee was sad their many years of friendship ended in such a disheartening way, especially after he had helped Carl on his ongoing sobriety journey.
“I thought we had a very solid relationship considering our background together,” he concluded. “No good deed goes unpunished.”
