Paige Hurd Confronts POWER Co-Stars Over Friendship Fallout -

Paige Hurd is known for being honest, but when she talked to her #POWER co-stars #MichaelRaineyJr. And #GianniPaolo about what she thought was a sudden change in their friendship, things took an unexpected turn. What started as a casual chat soon turned into a heated online talk about loyalty, communication, and what it really means to act the same way off camera.

The Unfollow That Raised Questions

The tension erupted when Paige became aware that both Michael and Gianni had unfollowed her on social media, and, more importantly, neither had reached out to her after her engagement to NBA player Royce Oneal. Paige’s problem wasn’t about social media validation; it was about feeling a disconnect from those she once considered close. She stated that the distance felt abrupt and confusing, particularly considering their shared history on one of television’s most talked-about shows.

Paige Addresses the Silence Head-On

Paige did not hide her emotions in the conversation. She asked Michael directly how long it had been since they last spoke, encouraging him to really ponder it. Gianni suggested they had talked a few months back, but Paige replied, ready to pull up receipts if required. Although her tone wasn’t aggressive, it was firm enough to convey clarity instead of drama. Michael stated that he did not have her new phone number, while Paige pointed out that he had removed her from his close friend list, which she only learned about after a fan brought it to her attention.

“What Did I Do?” — A Relatable Moment

That revelation hit a nerve. Paige admitted she found herself asking, ‘What did I do to these people?’ — a question many viewers found painfully relatable. Paige was hesitant to join Gianni’s podcast conversation, unsure whether she was even welcome given the mixed signals. She wondered where she stood after being unfollowed and ignored for her engagement.

Paris Fashion Week Adds Fuel to the Fire

Paige told a story from Paris Fashion Week. She saw Michael’s posts from Paris and messaged him excitedly, but he ignored her. Later, when she found out they would all be at the Amiri show and party, she tried to find them in person. Paige walked around the place and told her fiancé, Royce, she’d be back because she wanted him to meet Michael and Gianni. But when she came back, they were already gone.

Missed Connections and Mixed Signals

Paige was skeptical about Michael and Gianni’s claim that they had gone out with friends. She found the pattern similar to missed connections, suggesting a lack of interest in actually seeing her. After seeing Michael at the Amiri show, she said that the chaos of Fashion Week made it nearly impossible to cross the room before he disappeared once more. As she had expected, they were nowhere to be found at the afterparty, just like last time.

Fans React to the Friendship Fallout

People online were discussing what happened, not just the facts about who wasn’t there at the event. Fans quickly took to social media to share their thoughts, debating whether Paige should feel upset or if it was just a mix-up. Many liked how honest she was, saying it was nice to see a celebrity speak openly rather than ignore the problem.

Accountability Beyond the Cameras

Some saw this as a reminder that work friendships, especially in Hollywood, do not always last. Paige’s honesty connected with many people, as she wanted only respect and trust, not big shows of support. The lack of support from old coworkers during her engagement mattered more to her than what happened online.

In the end, Paige Hurd chose to take responsibility rather than blame others. By telling her story in public, she sparked a broader conversation about friendship, how to handle problems, and what people expect when the cameras are off. No matter what fans think, it is clear that how people act off camera is important, and sometimes saying nothing means more than words.
