The latest episode of *Southern Charm* exploded with drama as Austen Kroll confronted his friends, Shep Rose and Craig Conover, following rumors of infidelity. The tension stemmed from a conversation sparked by a claim made by two women in New York City, who alleged Austen had cheated on his then-girlfriend, Audrey Pratt.
Shep Rose initially dismissed the claims, stating he’d been told by the women that Austen had been “talking” to someone. However, Austen, visibly frustrated, accused Shep of stirring the pot and damaging his relationships. “Shep will ruin your life because there’s conjecture that I talked to some f*ing girl in New York?” Austen snapped at him. He also called out both Shep and Craig for attempting to undermine his relationships.
“I thought that they were my real friends,” Austen confessed, adding that the situation was particularly upsetting, considering his recent breakup with Audrey Pratt. “It’s kinda a pattern at this point,” Madison LeCroy commented, recalling previous instances where Shep and Craig had attempted to sabotage Austen’s relationships.
The episode ended with Austen distancing himself from Shep and Craig, having screened their calls and refusing to engage with them. The drama continues to unfold on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
