Craig also addresses the incident in the teaser and reveals why he didn’t immediately tell Paige about Taylor’s cheating accusation.
“What Taylor said about Paige, it’s bulls–t,” he says, adding he knows she was still reeling from her breakup with Shep. “But, I know what Taylor’s dealing with. I know she didn’t mean it. Who am I to hold this above her head. Do I think any good can come from tell Paige about this? No.”
Following the premiere, Craig opened up about the explosive exchange with Taylor. “It was just sad for me because I think I realized in that moment how lost Taylor really is,” the 34-year-old exclusively told E! News. “I care about her and I was like, ‘Man, you’re really struggling.'”
However, he never believed the infidelity claim to be true.
“To say that about Paige—my reaction, the reason I walked away was because there was nothing I could do to help her in that moment,” Craig noted. “I kinda laughed because I was like, ‘Me and Paige just sit on her couch and watch TV.’ It would be a little hard for either of us to be out there being secretive. I don’t think that comes with this territory anymore.”
