Summary

• Hannah Berner faced immense backlash for her attitude on Summer House, leading her to quit the show.
• Despite trying to use her father's coaching as an excuse, Hannah's behavior made her a controversial housemate.
• Kate Chastain hinted that Hannah may have been fired from the show due to her insensitive jokes and negative image.

Hannah Berner, Summer House's resident villain, decided to quit the popular Bravo show after immense backlash for her attitude in season 5. After the reunion, there was curiosity regarding what caused Berner to give up her place on one of the best reality TV shows, since her comedy was less than to be desired. As Summer House season 8 unfolds, it's time to revisit Hannah's presence on the show.

There is no denying that the former tennis pro was controversial. Season 5 showed Hannah getting under the skin of her roomies and fans multiple times. The native New Yorker tried to use her father’s tough coaching as an excuse for her treatment of Kyle Cook and Luke Gulbranson. When she debuted on the show back in 2019, she seemed sweet. It appeared she was no threat, but she turned out to be a mean and vengeful housemate.

Hannah Wasn't Funny On Summer House

Drama was to be expected on the hit Bravo TV show, but Berner took her negative image to a whole new level, as she irritated almost everyone in the Hamptons mansion. While her new goal is to tell fart jokes at comedy clubs, her humor didn't land on Summer House. While the reality star claims it was just time for her to move on, it's possible there were other underlying reasons for her departure.

Kate Chastain Thinks Hannah Was Fired From Summer House

Below Deck’s Kate Chastain hinted that she believed Berner may have been fired from the show. The fact that she made fun of Gulbranson’s mental health and joked about Carl Radke was uncomfortable, and may have irritated production. In addition, Better Help pulled Hannah's support after learning about her insensitive jokes. It seems her costars won't miss her, as she wasn't invited to Cook and Amanda Batuala's wedding. However, she and Paige DeSorbo still host the Giggly Squad.

While Berner may have had opportunities to make her name known and excel, she actually blew her biggest one of all by deciding to quit or being fired from the show; she lost any platform she once had. It is doubtful that many will pay the fee to see the Summer House star live, though she continues to promote her comedy online. She found an audience outside the Bravo TV show and found fans who appreciated her humor.

Summer House airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.
