What Did Paige Hurd Say About Her Co-Stars?
During the podcast interview, Paige Hurd candidly shared updates about her life while planning her wedding. When asked by Gianni if he and Michael were invited to the ceremony, she responded, “I didn’t know you two would want to come.” This statement prompted a reflection on their recent interactions; notably, she mentioned that Gianni had removed her from his Close Friends list and that she discovered via fans that Michael had unfollowed her on social media platforms.
In a moment of confrontation, Hurd questioned both men directly: “When was the last time I spoke to you?”.

Additionally, Hurd pointed out missed opportunities for connection during Paris Fashion Week despite being in close proximity multiple times.

Another commented speculated whether Michael’s unfollowing might have been linked to his current relationship status.
User reactions varied widely—some found the situation intense while others questioned whether inviting coworkers to weddings is customary in Hollywood culture. Comments ranged from disbelief over why such conversations occurred publicly to suggestions that these discussions should have taken place privately instead.
