She’s doing so many things. So, the girl, she needs to nap.” Plus, the attention surrounding Paige’s November split from boyfriend of three years, Southern Charm’s Craig Conover, was a lot for Paige to weather in the spotlight.

I was a publicist — not just for Sean “Diddy” Combs but also for Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Jon Bon Jovi, Kate Spade, Jessica Simpson and Naomi Campbell.
