Last time on Southern Charm, Austen’s birthday dinner turned into a blowout fight with Craig. The two hurled the most hurtful accusations and insults at each other, with Shep literally caught in the middle. At the end of the night, Austen told Craig he hated him. Before that, Venita told Madison that she missed her friendship with Salley. Craig and Charley went on a successful first date. But Salley realized she made a mistake going for Craig, now that she was left with those chickens. What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 this week?

This week, the group heads to Whitner’s family farm. As one relationship ends, two new romantic connections appear to blossom. But Salley’s gossip about Craig makes Charley question her motives. And makes Craig more wary of Salley than ever. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10, “Two Truths and a Single Lie.”

Everyone’s still in shock from Craig and Austen’s fight

Shep, Craig, and Austen are often able to bounce back from their fights, but this one was different. To Shep, it felt like a breakup. Whitney says the same. Austen leans on his cats, and Madison, for emotional support. Austen calling Madison first to be a supportive friend in an emotional crisis now … they’ve come so far! Craig doesn’t want to think about the fight, instead focusing on things that make him happy … like Charley. 

There is hope for one friendship in this group, as Salley and Molly meet up for a head massage/wash and blow-dry. Despite their fight weeks ago, Salley misses her friend. I get it, Molly is a gem. Molly is slightly skeptical that Salley just wants to make up because she has no one else amidst the drama with Charley and Venita. Speaking of, Salley blames Venita for her problems with Molly. For now, the two girls vow not to let anyone come between them again.

Whitner bring the cast home

After he didn’t appear on Southern Charm the past two weeks, this is a Whitner-central episode. The friend group goes to his family farm compound. We learn why his family farm is named Itchy Grass – it’s because he and his sisters thought the tall grass was itchy. And we learn that Jimmy Buffett was his uncle!

Madison is going with the group to Whitner’s, even at 34 weeks pregnant. She jokes that she might give birth there. Brett wisely doesn’t trust any of the group to deliver their baby. The rest of the friend group carpools in groups of three.

It’ll be the first time Craig and Austen see each other since the dinner, so everyone braces themselves for tension. Craig just hopes that Austen doesn’t “attack” him on the trip.

Is there already trouble in paradise for Craig and Charley?

While driving Molly and Charley, Salley tells Charley that she heard Craig is talking about her to the guys. He’s convinced she’ll fall in love with him, and he doesn’t want to break her heart. Molly’s facial reactions are priceless. In a confessional, Molly says, “I love her, but Salley is a jealous psycho.”

Charley can’t see Craig saying that, but Salley insists he’s the problem. As Molly pointed out weeks ago, Salley has taken on Venita’s role as Craig’s number one hater. And she’s doing to Charley what Venita did to her. 

Austen drops a breakup bombshell

Austen roasts Craig while in the car with Rod and Venita, but neither one of them believe Austen will ever cut Craig out for good. Rodrigo says it’s like Brokeback Mountain, that Austen wishes he could quit Craig.

But Austen did break up … with Audrey. For the first time, instead of waiting for a girl to break up with him, he made the move. Audrey was the perfect girlfriend, but he still felt like something was missing. Austen asks Venita and Rod to keep it quiet, to avoid Shep and Craig’s “told you so” moments.

Just then, as if she had an “Austen is single” spidey sense, Salley calls to fill them in on the Craig gossip. Charley already says she doesn’t believe it, that no one is falling in love and she’s “alone.” Austen jokes he’ll be alone with her. When Salley mentions his girlfriend, he murmurs “We’ll talk about that.” Realizing he might be single, Salley’s incredibly giddy. Rod jokes that Austen shouldn’t rush into a hand job with Salley. 

Salley has completely moved on from Craig to Austen

As the group meets up at the pool, Austen and Craig completely avoid each other. Salley asks Venita about Audrey, but Venita says her lips are sealed, because she values loyalty. Salley misses how close they were, but Venita’s reaction to Craig’s rejection still bothers her. Venita calls it a misunderstanding and insists she was never mad at Salley, only Craig. Salley admits she sees Craig for what he is now.

When Madison arrives, Salley gushes that Ausen looks “sexy as f*ck.” Madison says “too soon!” and confirms his split from Audrey. Madison has become his closest confidant, and seemingly one of the first people he told. 

Is Salley trying to come between Charley and Craig?

As they flirt by the pool, Charley tells Craig what Salley mentioned in the car. But she doesn’t believe it. Craig is predictably furious that people are gossiping and meddling in his personal life. He accuses Salley of being jealous, and Charley agrees. She wants to believe Salley told her this to be a protective friend, but … she doesn’t. She and Craig reaffirm their feelings for each other, with big smiles. 

Craig confronts Salley, who claims she heard it from Shep. At this point, it sounds to me like Shep mentioned the string of fears and questions about dating that Craig talked about at Austen’s dinner, but it got lost in translation as him being condescending towards Charley. Craig denies saying it, and asks why she doesn’t give him the benefit of the doubt. He tells Salley he can’t trust her anymore. He thinks she’s intentionally trying to come between him and Charley because she’s jealous. Salley walks away ranting about “all these MANCHILDREN!”

Salley still insists to Charley that Craig said it, and asks her, “Who do you believe?” Just then, Craig walks by, saying, “Keep talking about me, it’s fine.” “We’re not talking about you! Not everything is about you!” Salley fires back. We’ve come a long way from those late night hot tub parties.

Craig is more wary of Salley than ever

The guests head to their cabins (except Craig, who gets a fancy tent). Madison and Venita’s view is a little Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake … but at least there are some random knives in their cabin should Jason find them!

Rodrigo and Austen (who wears a silly hat to distract from his first pimple in years) have a more serene vista. In the second Brokeback Mountain reference of the episode, Austen calls it Brokeback Pond. He gets melancholy about Audrey, but also admits to a sense of relief. Rod loved Audrey and wanted it to work out, but he’s glad Austen cut it off instead of wasting more of Audrey’s time. 

Craig goes over to Shep’s barn loft, and tells him what Salley said. Shep denies saying that. Craig feels triggered because it’s a “misrepresentation” of who he is. Shep agrees that Craig isn’t a “big swinging dick” kind of guy who would say something like that. Shep says “no one is more respectful to females than Craig Conover,” which…are we sure? “He thinks white doves are gonna come out from the trees, like Cinderella!”

Regardless, the ordeal makes Craig turn against Salley even more. He calls her a “gossip,” and Shep agrees with him that she’s “an agent of chaos.”

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

Last week on Southern Charm Season 11, Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party was full of (other people’s) drama. Things were awkward between former BFFs Venita and Salley. Craig cleared the air with Salley so Charley would feel less guilty about their date. He also declared Austen his enemy. Meanwhile, Austen flirted with Salley right in front of his poor girlfriend Audrey. The episode ended with Austen and Audrey fighting.

This week on Southern Charm Season 11, it’s Austen’s 38th birthday, and he talks about his future with his mom. Venita hopes she can repair her friendship with Salley. Molly (who still has her infamous weave from America’s Next Top Model stashed away) prepares to sing live again. And Charley goes on her first date with Craig. Austen’s birthday dinner leads to another explosive fight between him and Craig. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9, “Best Frenemies Forever.”

Venita wants her friend back

Last time, Venita’s mom scolded her for not being there for Salley. This week, Venita tells Madison how much she misses their friendship. Madison takes on the mom role and encourages both the girls to get over it and make up. “These girls are being childish,” she says, “they need to realize that the only relationship that’s gonna work is the friendship between the two of them.” She encourages Venita to talk to Salley.

Craig and Shep or Laverne and Shirley?

This week, Shep and Craig continue living together, which the show edits like a sitcom (laugh track and all). When they go to see Shep’s “big boy house,” the guys gossip about Austen and Audrey. They think he creates a minefield of problems for himself (Rodrigo compares it to Sideshow Bob and the rakes). Craig says Austen should follow the mindset of “everything is your fault,” something he saw a few years ago. Craig, in what world do you follow that mindset? Hearing CRAIG and SHEP talk about taking accountability and not blaming others for your problems is WILD.

Austen’s emotional sit down with his mom

Ahead of his birthday, Austen goes to his parents’ and shows his tribute tattoo to Kyle. His mom believes if Kyle survived, she’d be married with kids and advising Austen. This leads Austen to open up about his relationship, as he once again admits it’s at a crossroads.

After Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement party, Audrey pointed out he always says “I” instead of “we” when talking about the future. His mom reminds him that when most people commit, they aren’t 100% sure at first if it’s the right person. Austen doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, since Audrey is a perfect partner. I guess his fear of commitment is that intense? He also isn’t sure he wants to have kids. But his mom tearfully tells him that having kids was the best thing she ever did.

Salley wants kids, not chickens

Austen’s current love interest Salley can’t wait to have kids. She jokes about stealing her sister’s baby and volunteers to watch the infant during the late night shift. However, Salley’s not feeling any maternal instinct towards the chickens. She wants to return them or drop them off with Craig (he named them, after all!). While Salley doesn’t like to live in regret (except for buying those chickens), she admits pursuing Craig was a mistake.

Craig and Charley’s first date

Meanwhile, Craig and Charley go on their oyster farm date. It’s the first time he’s been on a date without hooking up with the person ahead of time. As they eat oysters, he asks Charley about her ex. She says they were together for three and a half years, but he didn’t want to commit, despite talking about the future. Craig relates. Charley also admits she can be codependent, which we’ve seen in her dynamic with Salley. She and Craig flirt a lot, and they have chemistry. She asks him out again and he says yes.

The core four celebrate Austen’s birthday

Whitney throws a birthday dinner for Austen with fellow “OGs” Craig and Shep, but he’s worried about the guy’s drama. According to Shep, Austen is tired of being under Craig’s thumb. “Craig can be a bully,” Whitney says, but “Austen holds grudges … so it just becomes this circle jerk of stupidity and acrimony that keeps festering.” That’s one way to put it! (Side note: did everyone watch the Heated Rivalry edits of Craig and Austen on social media?) Jack, who is basically Craig’s non-ChatGPT therapist, advises him to go.

Finally, we’ve reached the dinner teased in Season 11’s premiere. Craig gifts Austen a very nice bowtie, so Austen jokes that he’s “frenemy number one.” Austen remembers that, the first time they met, Craig asked if he wanted to become best friends just to piss Shep off.

Shep is happy Austen and Craig are getting along, wishing it could be like this all the time. Craig makes a preposition proposition that everyone stay positive and have fun. However, Austen wants Craig to answer for some things.

Austen asks about the date with Charley. Whitney asks “Did you consummate” … and I really didn’t need to hear Whitney say “consummate.” Craig asks a whole bunch of weird questions about dating and worries about leading Charley on. The guys advise him to go on the second date and stop overthinking so much.

When it’s birthday boy’s turn to make a toast, he says, “It’s good to have your friends together, but keep your enemies closer.” Craig asks if they’re enemies, so Austen reminds him he said as much to Salley. In turn, Craig accuses Austen of rooting for his downfall. And we’re off on Austen versus Craig, round 500.

Austen’s birthday dinner from hell

First, Austen brings up Craig’s drinking. Remember when Craig opened up to Austen about his drinking problem in the Bahamas? Now that Craig’s at the bars again, Austen thinks that was just a manipulation tactic. Austen emphatically insists Craig’s drinking doesn’t bother him, but thinks Craig made up a problem to avoid accountability. Austen even puts “addiction” in air quotes! Craig is flabbergasted Austen “made my drinking problem about him.” Shep tells Austen this is wrongheaded, and I have to agree.

Craig fires back with another low blow. He trashes Austen for being in the same place he was five years ago. Austen is hurt, admitting his beer company isn’t where he wants it to be. Shep pleads with them to stop, but Austen says Craig’s been a “prick” for three years.

Eventually, they break the fourth wall. Craig accuses Austen of trashing Audrey before filming, and says he’s a completely different person on camera. Austen thinks that’s rich coming from Craig, “the liar of all liars.”

When Craig complains that Austen hates him, he fires back, “Yes, I do f*cking hate you!” Whitney tells Austen to apologize, but he refuses. Craig claims he, Shep, and Whitney never screamed that they hate each other. Craig and Austen’s friendship is declared over (for the 50th time this season), and the guys agree not to order dessert.

We end with the Southern Charm midseason trailer, which shows Austen and Salley crossing lines, Venita and Craig confronting each other, and, of course, another blowout Craig and Austen fight. We’ll have to keep watching to see it all!

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

Season 11 of Southern Charm has turned up the heat. And it looks like there is plenty more to come in the second half of the season. In fact, the drama between frenemies Austen Kroll and Craig Conover is about to boil over.

Plus, the fallout from Craig’s hot tub love triangle with Salley Carson and Charley Manley continues to affect the group. The way that Craig shot down Salley was super awkward. Then he asked her bestie, Charley, on a date. Welp, the Southern Charm Season 11 mid-season trailer just dropped, and it is wild.

Austen Kroll makes out with a co-star in the Southern Charm midseason trailer

Since Craig is not interested, Salley moved on to Austen. “Are you going to ever have sex with me?” Salley asked Austen. You could have knocked him over with a feather. The camera showed clips of Austen and Salley making out in a car and in a bar in Mexico.

“What happens in Mexico does not stay in Mexico,” Craig quipped. Meanwhile, Austen’s ex-girlfriend, Madison LeCroy, was shocked since Austen was dating Audrey Pratt. “What the f*ck is he doing?” she asked.

Meanwhile, Charley and Salley’s friendship erupted as Salley yelled, “You didn’t tell me!” Then a frustrated Charley exclaimed, “I tried to set boundaries!” Of course, this spat was about Craig.

After Craig yelled, “F*ck you, Salley,” Shep Rose stated, “Craig is crazy.” Later, Shep said, “If Charley doesn’t see the writing on the wall …,” before Molly O’Connell added, “There is no more we can do.”

Meanwhile, Venita Aspen confronted Craig. Venita’s feelings about Craig resulted in issues with her friendship with Salley. And finally, Craig and Austen had an explosive argument.

You don’t take accountability,” Austen screamed. When Craig replied, “That’s not true,” Austen rolled on. “You are a lost soul. You want to be anybody but yourself, and it’s obvious,” he told Craig. Yikes!

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Welcome back to the Southern Charm Season 11 recaps! Last week, Salley finally confessed her feelings, but Craig rejected her. Venita said I told you so, which Salley did not appreciate. Craig told the guys that Salley is a “tornado” who got in the way of him spending time with Charley. This infuriated Austen, who spilled the beans when the guys crashed Madison’s sleepover. Then Rodrigo revealed that Craig and Charley were about to go on a date. Salley declared she’s done with Craig, and warned Charley that he’s using her too.

This week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8, “Engaged in Battle,” the group (minus Whitner) celebrates Rodrigo and Tyler’s engagement. Austen’s girlfriend Audrey comes to town, but everyone else wonders why Austen hasn’t broken up with her yet. Salley confronts Craig about rejecting her. Then she and Austen flirt up a storm … inches away from Audrey. What else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8, “Engaged in Battle?”

Craig insists he didn’t lead Salley on

Salley now has to deal with those chickens she bought just to spend time with Craig (and only one of them is nice to her). Meanwhile, Craig tells Madison his side of the story. As Madison predicted, Craig insists he was just being nice. He also gives context to those texts. Craig tells Madison that he politely urged Salley to leave that night. When she texted him that she should’ve stayed over, he said she could’ve, but it was just not to be rude. Once again, he says Charley is the one he really likes, and he’s looking forward to spending time with her alone.

Meanwhile, Charley meets up with Molly for arts and crafts. When Molly asks about the date, Charley cries at the thought of it upsetting Salley. Molly reminds Charley that Salley said she was fine with it, but Charley knows she didn’t mean that. Molly accuses Salley of being hypocritical about Craig. After all, if Salley is trying to stop Charley from dating Craig, then she’s doing the same thing Venita was.

Rodrigo and Tyler throw an engagement party

Rodrigo proposed to Tyler in Greece, so they’re throwing a Grecian engagement party (Angie K approves). But they’re not in a rush to get married. Instead, Rodrigo wants to focus on remodeling their kitchen … so fans on Reddit will stop making fun of it. He’s also decorating Shep’s house, which includes purchasing a giant coffee table (formerly an opium bed).

Speaking of, Shep is staying at Craig’s while he’s in between houses. Since he was in Cuba last week, Craig fills him in on the Salley situation. Shep says Salley has an “ownership thing” with Charley… like Craig used to with Austen! But he believes that Craig wasn’t trying to flirt with Salley, just being friendly.

Audrey is coming to the party, and Tyler notes that it’ll be awkward between her, Craig, and Shep. While they don’t believe the gossip about Austen coming onto other girls, Tyler and Rodrigo both think Austen needs to stop stringing Audrey along.

Austen needs to face his fears with Audrey

Speaking of Austen, this week he gets sibling tattoos with his younger sister Katie. Their matching tattoos are their late sister Kyle’s birth year and Katie’s birth year. Austen admits he was a baby about the pain, but loves that he now has a tribute to his angel sister … and his devil sister.

And that devil sister Katie gives him tough love about the Audrey situation, asking why he’s so hesitant to take a next step. She loves Audrey, and it’s unfair if Austen is leading her on. When a producer asks Austen about it, he compares it to his hesitancy over getting cats … but he took the plunge there! With Audrey, Austen says it could be the last next big step he takes in his life. He compares the state of their relationship to a meteor coming towards Earth (I’m sure Audrey is flattered). He should do something about it, but keeps putting things off. Austen admits to Katie that he needs to have a tough conversation with Audrey.

Was Venita a bad friend to Salley?

Venita grabs lunch with her mom, who roasts her about needing to find a man. Venita fills her in on the drama with Salley. When she admits that she told Salley not to come crying to her after Craig broke her heart, her mom says that was rude. She emphasizes to Venita that it’s important to be there for your friends no matter what. Venita realizes that she should’ve been more patient with Salley.

When they see each other at Rodrigo and Tyler’s party, Venita tells Salley she misses her, but it’s extremely awkward. Salley says she’s fed up with Venita, who can be a little controlling.

Does Tyler and Rodrigo’s engagement party signal the end of another relationship?

Audrey isn’t psyched to see Craig and Shep at the party. She claims they have no idea what’s going on in her and Austen’s relationship. “It makes me look like I have my head in the sand … which I don’t,” she says. Poor Audrey! She also points out that Austen forgives Craig too easily, which he admits is true. Austen tells her Craig found a new target to flip out on … Salley.

Everyone shows up for the party dressed in their best white Grecian-inspired ensembles. Including Stephen from Miss Patricia’s guy’s night. And a very pregnant Madison, who jokes her boobs are about to pop out of her low-cut mini dress. Whitney asks Madison if she’s having a gender reveal. Apparently he wasn’t paying attention to the very pink, girl-themed baby shower at his house.

Rodrigo starts to tear up seconds into his speech to Tyler. “I don’t see my life without Tyler,” he gushes in a confessional, adding, “People wait a lifetime for something like that.” Aww!! At least there’s one genuine romance on Southern Charm. Meanwhile, Shep, Madison, and Craig are shocked to see Audrey there, wondering why Austen hasn’t broken up with her yet.

Craig declares war on Austen

Throughout the night, Craig and Charley flirt while Salley avoids them. Eventually, Charley encourages Craig to talk to her. But he now sees Salley as an obstacle getting in the way of him and Charley. Yikes.

He goes over to talk to Salley while she’s sitting with Madison. Getting to the point, Salley says Craig hurt her. “Well, this is awkward as f*ck!” Madison jokes as she excuses herself. Molly asks if Craig and Salley are gonna “fingerbang it out.” Venita jeers Craig from afar.

Craig insists he didn’t intend to hurt Salley. She asks why he wrote her off, citing what Austen told her. Craig then calls Austen his ENEMY, chastising Salley for “believing a guy whose main goal in life is to tear me down.” I think that’s a little dramatic, Craig. “See how awful it is to be friends with Austen?,” he asks, accusing Austen of conspiring to come between him and Salley. Wasn’t he just accusing Salley of doing that to him and Charley?

Craig’s hurt that Salley trusted Austen over him, and says he’d never go to her enemies like that. Salley didn’t know Austen was his “enemy,” but he argues, “you know how he treats me.” Ultimately, he and Salley agree to go to each other with their issues in the future.

Austen and Salley flirt…inches away from Audrey

While Madison goes home, the (very inebriated) group takes a party bus (thanks, Shep) to the afterparty. Whitney gets on stage and plays guitar. Craig assures Charley things with Salley are settled, and she looks forward to their date.

Meanwhile, Audrey tries to say hi to Salley again, to no avail. She tells Austen Salley walked past her three times without saying a word, and is the only person that didn’t say hi to her. Austen brushes this aside and excuses himself to go talk to Rodrigo. But a beaming Salley comes up to him instead, and they hug and immediately act flirty. She tells him everything Craig said. “We don’t have a podcast anymore, I don’t give a f*ck what he thinks about me,” Austen hilariously says.

Your girlfriend hates me,” Salley laughs. Austen says she doesn’t. Craig observes that Audrey must be angry seeing Austen and Salley “belly to belly” flirting like this. Just then, Audrey walks right by Austen and Salley to a table away from the others. Austen doesn’t even notice! When Austen finally goes to her, she says they need to talk. We don’t hear their conversation, but it sure looks like they’re fighting. And that’s where the episode ends.

Southern Charm airs 9/8c on Bravo. Episodes can be streamed on Peacock.

When Southern Charm’s Venita Aspen abruptly left Madison LeCroy’s sleepover after her fight with Salley Carson, it was very odd. It seemed of out of character for her to just stomp out à la Craig Conover.

But now we know there’s more to the story. Though she seemed to be in perfect health, in reality, Venita was in a lot of pain. “I was thinking [it] was my stomach,” she told producers. “For probably five days … I did everything under the sun. I got an IV bag, I went to the doctor, and I was taking a bunch of medicine.”

Though she tried to power through, Venita finally gave in and went home.

After she left the party, she called a show producer, who picked her up and took her to the ER. Once there, Venita discovered the cause of her pain. “For one, I was dying of a f*cking kidney infection,” she told Charley Manley on Bravo’s Daily Dish. “I’ll never forget that night. That was so bad … At 1 a.m., learned I had a kidney infection.”

It wasn’t until later that Venita was able to tell the others what really happened at Madison’s party. “I walk out on Salley, and I’m screaming at her,” the influencer admitted. “But the first person I call when I realize I have to go to the hospital is Salley.” Unfortunately, Salley couldn’t take her to the ER. She’d been drinking, so Venita called a show producer instead.

In hindsight, her friends could finally make sense of Venita’s hasty departure. They knew she and Salley were in disagreement over Craig, but Venita’s exit seemed a little overly dramatic.

Ultimately, Molly O’Connell called Venita’s illness a “very valid” reason to leave the party. “Her being physically in pain probably made her mentally, like, less able to deal with the f*ckery of it all,” she confessed.

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Southern Charm - Season 11

Things are getting messy on Southern Charm Season 11! Last week, Craig shocked everyone at Miss Patricia’s guy’s dinner by admitting he’d get back together with Paige if she asked. He and Austen saw each other for the first time since Whitner’s party and agreed to a tentative truce. Meanwhile, Venita warned Salley that Craig would break her heart, but Salley asked to find that out for herself. Charley told her sister that she likes Craig, but is worried about Salley’s reaction. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11?

If last week was a bit of a filler episode, this week the chickens come home to roost, literally and figuratively. Salley finally admits her feelings to Craig when they go to buy chickens, and it goes as poorly as expected. Especially since it’s right after he asked Charley out. Later on, Madison holds a slumber party for the girls in her new home while Brett and Hudson are away. After a dramatic walkout, things really get messy when the guys crash the party. Truths come out, and someone declares revenge. Here’s what happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 7, “Fowl Play.”

Craig asks Charley out

This week’s episode opens with Salley setting up her chicken coop. She admits to her friend that she decided to get chickens because Craig said he’d go with her to pick them out. Oof, these cringey scenes seem to contradict Salley’s claims about Craig on Watch What Happens Live.

While Salley gets chickens just to spend more time with Craig, he drops in on Charley’s art gallery event with his assistant Jack. Craig mentions his friend’s oyster farm, and casually asks Charley if she wants to go. She says yes. Later on, she tells her mom she’s not sure it’s a date, but her mom thinks it sounds like one. Charley doesn’t tell Salley because she’s too nervous how she’ll react.

Whitner perfectly sums up Craig and Austen’s dynamic

Austen meets up for beers with Whitner, saying it’s nice to have a guy friend not named Craig. Somewhere in Cuba, Shep asks, “What about me?” Austen still sees their guy’s dinner conversation as a non-apology, as real apologies aren’t followed by a “but.” He misses how easy and smooth their friendship used to be.

Whitner may be new to the group, but he already sees the frenemies’ dynamic perfectly. To start, he knows that Austen appreciates that it doesn’t sound like Whitner lectures him when they talk. “What I’m witnessing here is more of a rivalry than a friendship,” Whitner notes. “Austen has a bit of a victim complex, so he’s gonna feel like he’s being attacked. And Craig has a narcissistic streak in him, so he’s gonna wanna be controlling. Whether or not those two pieces fit together…to be determined.”

Rodrigo spills tea to Venita, Leva, and Molly

Venita grabs lunch with Leva, Rodrigo, and Molly. Rodrigo says that Salley stopped working out with him and Molly, and Leva jokes that it’s because she was too busy with Craig. Venita tells the group about her fight with Salley last week, and Leva shades Salley as “not a girl’s girl.”

Venita shares that she struggles with feeling abandoned by friends. It goes back to high school, when her best friend since infancy suddenly dropped her junior year. And, of course, there was the JT fiasco.

The group agrees that Craig has no intention of seriously dating Salley. Rodrigo says that Craig’s already sworn not to get involved with anyone who slept with Shep. So, Salley was always out of the running!

Salley gets a reality check

Craig and Salley buy chickens together. Salley says she’s dating with intent to marry and have kids, something she knows Craig also wants. She tells him that when she wants something, she goes for it. Then she tells him she’s caught feelings, “Like, I can date you.”

But Craig responds, “I don’t see it,” adding, “We’re just friends.” Salley asks why they hung out in the hot tub until 4 am then. Craig admits that at first he thought something might happen, but then it didn’t. “I’ve never been in this situation where a girl really thought I liked her and I didn’t,” he says in a confessional. Ouch! He adds that Salley is “reading into our interactions in a fantasy way.” Salley insists he’s been hitting on her for weeks and that she’s not delusional. They awkwardly agree to just be friends.

It’s not quite as bad as Landon’s infamous “Maybe I love you” moment with Shep. But it’s still pretty rough.

Later on, Salley accompanies Madison to her ultrasound. She wants the happily ever after that Madison has. “I’m so alone,” Salley admits, “I don’t even have anyone to drunk text.” She tells Madison about Craig’s rejection. Madison agrees that Craig led Salley on, but is probably denying it in a typically Southern, “I was just being nice!” way. “He’s clueless,” she adds. Salley references their texts, when she said she should’ve stayed the night and Craig said she could’ve. When a producer asks, she says there’s no way she could’ve misinterpreted that text, and Craig was definitely coming onto her. She also tells Madison that Venita saw it all coming.

Craig wants out of Salley’s tornado

Madison throws a sleepover for the girls while the guys go out for beers. She tells Venita about Craig rejecting Salley, and Venita can’t hide her vindicated smile. When Salley tells the girls about it, Venita blurts out a told you so. She asks why Salley didn’t call her, and Salley reminds her she said not to come crying after Craig broke her heart. Venita says she’s not mad at Salley, who says she has no reason to be. That makes Venita too upset, so she leaves the slumber party. 

Whitner mentions that Austen and Salley are like besties, which is news to Craig. Craig tells the guys he asked Charley out. He says they’ve never been able to hang out away from Salley. When Rodrigo mentions Salley’s crush, Craig wonders if he hung out with her too much. He claims the real reason for those hot tub sessions was to see Charley. Austen is offended (and possibly projecting) that Craig could disregard his friendship with Salley so easily.

When he mentions how this could tear apart Salley and Charley, Craig says that’s not his responsibility. Then he goes off on Salley. He claims that she always butted in when he tried to talk to Charley. “Salley’s chaos, man. It’s a tornado. You never know who’s gonna get sucked into it, and you never know where that tornado’s gonna head.” Austen says he doesn’t think her chaos is intentional. But Craig is over it. He’s over everything being about Salley, even his date with Charley. When Austen tries to defend Salley’s “good heart,” Craig sees it as Austen refusing to be happy for him. He dramatically storms out and Ubers home. Hey, dramatic walk outs are something he and Venita have in common!

Austen and Rodrigo gossip with the girls

Rodrigo, Austen, and Whitner crash the sleepover (did you catch Rodrigo mocking Austen’s “Madison!” when they walked in?). Can I just say, Austen putting his feet up, sipping wine, and gossiping with the girls is such a funny image. He looks so happy!

Austen thinks Craig is mad at Salley. He tells her everything Craig said- that they’re done, that Salley’s a tornado that leaves a path of destruction, and that he’s been thinking this for a long time. And that he doesn’t think Charley can be the person she wants to be when Salley’s around. Salley’s pissed and brings up the texts. Then Rodrigo drops that Craig asked Charley out. Molly’s reaction face is incredible.

Salley claims Craig is manipulating both her and Charley. She claims it will take Charley longer to realize that, but she will eventually. “I wish he was here right now so I could slap him across the face,” Salley rants. She promises, “I’ll show him a f*cking tornado.” Charley looks scared, and that’s where we leave off this week.

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays 9/8c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock.

Welcome back to the recaps for Southern Charm Season 11! Last week, Craig and Austen continued their blowout fight at Whitner’s birthday. Craig mentioned that Shep heard Austen was talking to another girl. Austen denied this, and didn’t accept Craig’s apology. After getting his kittens Piper and Martini, Austen decided to visit Audrey. And he started to doubt that Craig and Shep were his real friends. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 5, “Loose Lips and Deep Rifts?”

This week, Craig throws a Memorial Day party. But Austen doesn’t go, which triggers Craig’s anger about their fight. After getting caught gossiping about Molly’s, err, lady business, Salley continues to have tension with Molly and Venita. Even though everyone can tell Craig’s more into Charley, it seems that he and Salley took their much-talked-about hot tub nights to the next level. What else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 5, “Loose Lips and Deep Rifts?”

Madison catches Patricia up on the latest gossip

Madison stops by Patricia’s to fill her in on the group’s drama. As they talk about Madison’s pregnancy, Patricia reveals that when she had Whitney, she was in labor for two days without an epidural! That’s one reason she decided one child was enough. Madison jokes that she’ll breastfeed if Teddi likes silicone implants. Patricia jokes she tried breastfeeding for about twenty minutes.

Then Madison tells Patricia about Craig’s love triangle. Madison thinks Craig is more into Charley. She tells Patricia about all the late night hot tub hangouts, but specifies no hookups seemed to happen yet. Patricia wonders what happened to good old fashioned sex in a bed!

Madison also brings up Craig’s outburst at Whitner’s party. Patricia is surprised Craig got so upset at such innocuous comments. Madison thinks the real reason Craig is spinning out, drinking again, and having late night hot tub parties is because he’s not over Paige.

Venita checks in on Austen

Venita calls Austen as he’s visiting Audrey in Charlotte. She’s seemingly the only person in the group who thinks Austen and Audrey can make it (alas, we already know they don’t). Austen introduces her to Martini and Piper via FaceTime.

Austen also tells her that he finally returned Shep’s phone calls. He thinks that Shep’s apology was genuine, unlike Craig’s. Venita says Shep is acting like a real friend. They both touch on their mutual annoyance with Craig. And it turns out Venita isn’t the only one side eyeing Salley’s crush. Because Austen accuses Salley of enabling Craig.

Speaking of, Salley tells Charley that Craig is taking her to buy chickens for her backyard. Charley thinks it’s unnecessary since Salley lives right across from Walgreens. Charley also worries that she puts others needs before her own too much. She knows Salley likes Craig, but if she cut off every guy a friend of hers had a thing for, there’d be no guys left in Charleston.

Molly finds her voice again

Last season, Molly rediscovered her love of the euphonium. This year, she’s returning to another musical pursuit – singing. She’s even recording songs with a guitarist named Keith (do we know if this is the guitarist beau she mentioned on Watch What Happens Live last week?). Molly’s parents always encouraged her singing, even saying she could be the next Taylor Swift. But she has horrible performance anxiety. As a child, she got so nervous during a piano recital that she made a mistake and ran down the aisle! Now, she’s working up to sing live for an audience again. She has an amazing voice!

Craig’s Memorial Day party is one to remember

This week, Craig throws a Memorial Day party for the whole cast, even inviting Venita and Austen. Kory also attends. While Paige took over party planning in years past, Craig has his assistant Jack help him now. He makes sure the party has pina coladas, because they’re Charley’s favorite. He also has a signature cocktail using the honey from his hive.

Venita shows up with towels and everything. Whitner, who has a real job, has to take a work call during the party, and isn’t thrilled Craig held it on a Wednesday. Salley and Charley show up together. When Craig takes Charley over to the bar, Salley follows them like a third wheel.

Madison can feel Paige’s absence in the party planning. Especially because there’s so few umbrellas – people need to sit in the shade! But Rodrigo notices Paige’s leftover touches in the house, like chairs she definitely picked out.

But Austen doesn’t come, which enrages Craig. He claims Austen never goes to Charlotte in the middle of the week, barely visits anymore, and doesn’t see himself marrying Audrey anyway. When Shep says Austen probably wouldn’t feel comfortable at the party, Craig flips out and shouts, “Why!” Shep thinks Austen wants Craig to admit he was wrong and give a big apology, but that will never happen. He thinks Craig has a problem showing remorse.

The highlight of the party? Probably when Shep jumped into the pool wearing a bald eagle speedo, a gun holster, prop gun, and George Washington wig.

Venita and Salley get caught gossiping about Molly

Elsewhere, Molly confronts Venita that she heard Salley spread rumors about her vagina. At Whitner’s party, she told Rodrigo that Molly just got a new vagina and had a sugar daddy pay for it. Despite Molly and Salley making up and agreeing to stop sh*t talking. But plot twist, this gossip came from Venita!

A hurt Molly says she paid for it herself back in 2019. Molly is open about the work she’s had done, but says, “The one thing I didn’t really want to tell the entire world is that I got my labia cut off.” Rodrigo calls Venita a “shady b*tch.” Especially for telling Salley, who has a big mouth. Venita admits she messed up. But she turns it back on Salley, mentioning Rodrigo was right to warn her to be wary.

Later on, Venita awkwardly tells Salley to “be nice.” Including to Molly. Then Molly confronts her for “being sh*tty.” Salley argues that Molly’s “been f*cking sh*tty.” Molly fires back, “Well you are sh*tty, always, you f*cking assh*le.” Molly calls Salley “malicious” and hilariously adds, “Sorry I have a beautiful vagina, are you jealous? Go get yours done!” Salley responds, “I’m sure it’s great.” Madison jokes that she’s never even thought about vagina surgery … but might after giving birth.

When Salley apologizes, Molly warns that Venita is wary of her. Salley tries to confront Venita, but her bestie says she knows she won’t be heard. She brings up Craig, and a frustrated Salley says in a confessional that her friendship with Craig has nothing to do with Venita. “Let me live!” she adds. She also cries hypocrisy when Venita give Craig a polite kiss on the cheek goodbye.

Craig admits he’s “struggling”

Meanwhile, Craig confides in Madison, who is concerned about his drinking. She wants him to stay on the “high horse” he was on last year. Craig admits he slipped up, and immediately regretted his actions at Whitner’s. He even reached out to a former therapist to book a session (a much better idea than using ChatGPT). In a confessional, he admits he slid back into the fun guy at the bar persona because it’s how he met Naomi and Paige. He knows he doesn’t have to do that to meet someone, but also has trouble believing that deep down. But he also knows that’s the worst version of himself. Madison gives him a reassuring hug and tells him he’s okay.

What happens in the hot tub …

Southern Charm Season 11

As the other guests leave the party, Craig, Kory, Salley, and Charley move into that infamous hot tub. Charley runs to get a drink, and the others order her around. Craig jokes that she’s “submissive” and Salley calls her “easily manipulative.” Gross, you guys.

Because this season might as well be called “Southern Charm: Craig’s Hot Tub,” Craig and Salley reminisce about all the nights they’ve spent in there. Craig mentions that his favorite time was when they went to brunch the next day. Kory realizes that means Salley spent the night, and she gives a knowing glance. “What happens in the hot tub stays in the hot tub,” says Craig. My question is … was Charley there too? And so the love triangle continues for another week!

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Madison LeCroy’s baby girl is only five months old and already the Southern Charm star’s parenting choices are under fire.

On December 14, Madison shared a video on her Instagram Stories as she prepared to shave little Teddi’s head. With dad Brett Randle holding her tiny head, the baby girl with the incredibly blue eyes sat with a pacifier in her mouth.

Madison LeCroy had her own advice for the haters

“Here’s our before,” Madison announced, firing up the electric razor.

“Okay. Yeah, it’s time.”After posting the unintentionally controversial video, Madison faced some not so friendly responses. One person simply replied, “Cutting what??”

Apparently, Madison thinks that shaving Teddi’s head will solve the “bald spot” issue on the back of her head.

“Y’all are so f*cking annoying,” the professional hairdresser finally responded. “I literally am cutting off the patch of hair. I don’t even want to tell y’all stuff because some of y’all need to shave your head and start over.” 

The following day, Madison posted a follow-up snap of Teddi wearing a long, brown wig. “Mornin’ bitches,” she captioned the photo.

Meanwhile, Madison looks forward to the holidays as a family of four. “I can’t wait to see [Teddi’s] face when she sees all the lights and decorations,” she shared with People last month. “She’s at that sweet age where everything is magical.”

“It’s been the most beautiful chaos,” she said happily. “Hudson’s blown me away with how great he’s been with her. He’s really stepped into that big brother role — he helps, he sings to her and he’s always checking on her. Seeing the two of them together honestly melts my heart every day.”

Welcome back to the Southern Charm Season 11 recaps! Last week, Craig flirted with both Salley and Charley. Austen had FOMO watching his single friends, which enraged Craig. Molly complained about Salley behind her back. Things came to a head at Whitner’s birthday party when Craig snapped after Austen’s digs. Craig accused Austen of living a lie in his relationship, and stormed off. We left off on to be continued. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 4, “A Movable Beast”?

This week picks up right where last episode left off. Craig and Austen continue fighting, and Craig pulls in Shep, who heard a rumor about Austen’s relationship. After the party, Craig hangs out with Charley and Salley in his hot tub. Austen is left wondering if Craig and Shep are really his friends. Here’s what else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 4, “A Movable Beast.”

The chaos continues at Whitner’s party

We pick up immediately where we left off, as everyone recovers from Craig’s outburst. In the kitchen, Craig continues ranting that Austen is acting this way because he’s unhappy in his relationship. Whitner asks for no more fighting at his birthday, because it makes him uncomfortable. Oof, good luck with this friend group, Whit.

Venita declares herself Team Austen and tells him about Craig’s trash talking in the kitchen. She’s tired of Craig getting away with everything in this group.

As they sit down to eat, Craig whispers to Charley, “Maybe I can cook for you.” He also asks her to bring some paintings by his house so he can choose one. Shep jokes that Salley, Craig, and Charley are the new “throuple.”

Craig and Austen try to keep the peace at dinner, but they keep whispering (Austen to Madison, Craig to Salley) about each other. Salley encourages Craig to apologize. When Charley says that Shep’s toy gun is heavier than she expected, Austen starts to make a “that’s what she said” joke. But then snarkily says he can’t because Craig will take it as a sign he’s unhappy. Craig officially restarts the fight by shouting, “Austen, keep running your mouth and Shep’s going to say something that’s going to ruin your life.”

Shep feigns innocence. Before storming off to the kitchen again, Craig says that Austen threw the first punch with his snarky comments. An exhausted Madison tells Austen to go talk to him.

What does Shep know about Austen?

Shep claims that in New York, two twenty-something girls alleged their friend was talking to Austen. There’s no hard proof, and Shep calls it “totally unsubstantiated.” He asked Craig if he should say anything to Austen, and Craig said no. “Wrong person to ask,” says Madison.

In the kitchen, Craig accuses Austen of taking his problems out on him. Austen is confused why Craig was so triggered, asking, “I said you had a late night with two hot girls and you’re gonna cry about it?” Craig brings up Austen saying he was scared of him at the Season 10 reunion. Austen points to Craig’s current unpredictable behavior as the reason he’s scared sometimes. Craig says sorry, but that Austen triggered him. Austen dismisses it as a fake apology.

Eventually, Shep tells Austen what happened. Austen denies cheating on Audrey. He’s upset that Craig and Shep can “callously spread such bullsh*t” when they’re supposed to be his friends. Austen says that he talks to girls at the bar, and Audrey talks to guys, and it’s no big deal. “So the only way I can have peace is if I’m single chasing p*ssy like you two?” Austen asks Shep. He wonders out loud why he hangs out with them and tells them anything, then storms out.

Rodrigo and Madison aren’t happy either. Rod accuses Craig of pushing Shep under the bus. Madison being pregnant (and sober) gave her a new perspective on Craig’s outbursts. Rodrigo also laughs in disbelief when Craig says, “I won’t be gaslit into believing I did anything wrong.” However, Salley tells Craig that he is “so great.”

Molly and Salley show there’s room for one more fight

At the table, Salley tells everyone she advised Craig to apologize. Molly is surprised, saying it looked like they were just flirting. Salley decides now is the time to confront Molly about her trash talk.

Molly says Salley started it by coming for her about the baby shower. Salley says that was a fact, but argues she never called dibs on any guy. Venita disagrees by mocking Salley’s obsession with Craig. Rodrigo, who overheard Salley’s conversation with Charley about Craig, also interjects to take Molly’s side.

“You might have been drunk, like you are a lot, and you probably forgot,” Molly fires back. In a confessional, Molly says Salley places her self-worth on approval from men, which causes drama. But Salley argues she’s just living her best life in the hot tub.

In fact, after the party, Salley tells her mom she and Charley went back to Craig’s hot tub until 4 am. Salley now has a pile of Craig’s clothes in her closet, since she puts them on to go in. Her mom jokes if a menage a trois happened, but Salley says Craig hasn’t made a move yet. She’s used to getting the guys she wants, so she’s wondering what’s taking so long.

Well … Happy Birthday to Whit?

Whitner doesn’t let the wreckage of the party (both the drama and the literal mess in his backyard) stop him from following his daily routine. He wakes up at 4:35 am, takes his dog out, works out from 5 to 7 am, meditates, showers, and heads to work (with said dog) at 8 am. “I recognize I’m a lot,” he admits. He also recognizes he’s a huge momma’s boy. He doesn’t tell his mom the drama of the party, but she rags on him for still being single. At 36, Whitner doesn’t feel a rush to settle down- why would he, in this friend group?

At least one Southern Charm star found domestic bliss

Madison continues to be the only settled one. This week, she spends time with Hudson as they look forward to move into their new house. Madison can’t believe she’ll have a preteen and a baby at the same time. But Hudson is more excited than jealous of his new sibling, possibly because it’s a girl and not another boy. Though he jokes that the previous ultrasound pictures made his sister look like the Green Goblin. Meanwhile, Madison’s husband Brett leaves a work trip early to come home and be with her, and he gets three months of paternity leave.

Craig once again flirts up a storm with Charley, this time when she brings paintings to his house. Charley wants him to be straightforward and ask her out. As Craig looks at the paintings, he remarks, “I hate decisions.” Does that also apply to his love triangle?

Craig reveals Austen hasn’t talked to him or Shep since the party. Charley tells Craig he was out of line. In a confessional, she remarks how crazy it is that men ten years her senior were fighting about a hot tub. Craig is confused why his social life bothers Austen. He brings up that last year, Austen was mad at him for not being social enough.

Charley advises Craig not to react so much when people say things he doesn’t like. Craig claims he doesn’t (um, let’s roll the clips) but says he’s just “a highly passionate person.”

Is Austen done with Shep?

Shep and Molly, who are better as friends, hang out a dog park. After the party, Shep feels like Craig used him as a pawn in his conflict with Austen. He admits he messed up by telling Craig the rumor. But he also believes that Austen would “run back into Craig’s arms” before his. Molly says they need therapy. But also shares that she did bad things in her past, and is grateful people allowed her to grow, apologize, and make up for it. Shep reveals that Austen is avoiding his phone calls. He gets Molly to call Austen, but he still doesn’t answer.

Should Austen end his friendships with Shep and Craig?

Austen welcomes his cats home. Their names are Piper and Martini, which gets Austen to do his best impression of Parker Posey on The White Lotus (“Piper, nooo!”). Austen is so burnt by the party, he’s making a rare trip to Audrey’s with the cats. He told Audrey about Shep’s rumor, and she didn’t think anything of it.

Austen talks about the party with Madison and Rodrigo, his real besties. Madison admits she thought Craig changed. But she sees him backslide into the old Craig now that he’s drinking again. She also points out that Craig and Shep have a pattern of doing this when Austen’s in a relationship. After all, they broke her and Austen up! Rodrigo asks why Austen gives them so much grace. Austen admits he’s starting to think they’re not his real friends. And that’s where we leave off.

Southern Charm airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.

Austen Kroll and Audrey Pratt are no more. As seen on Southern Charm, Austen finds their pairing “too easy,” minus the whole distance thing. But as this season progresses, their divide will only grow wider. And now, Austen is a single man, or is he?

Is Austen Kroll currently dating anybody?

Austen and his costar, Madison LeCroy, used to date. But they make far better friends than they ever did lovers. Overall, their joint scenes are hysterical, and this unexpected friendship is now one of my favorite parts of this series.

Recently, Madison and her bestie, Austen, appeared on Watch What Happens Live. Here, Austen noted that, during this year’s annual BravoCon event, he forged a connection with another Bravolebrity. And yes, Madison approves of this connection.

As Austen confessed, this mystery woman is none other than Kiki Barth from Real Housewives of Miami. When they met, Austen felt “surprised” that their personalities meshed. And as for her appearance, well, “Kiki’s a tall drink of water,” he admitted.

However, even though Austen “would go to Miami” to hang out with Kiki, we shouldn’t get too giddy about their potential pairing just yet. As Austen explained, “We exchanged numbers and such, as she was pleasant when I reached out to her, but it just didn’t materialize,” he disclosed. Likewise, he already knows that Kiki is way out of his league. “I only have one thing going for me, and that’s my height,” which Kiki also has, he quipped.

So, for now, Madison is lending her ex an assist. “She’s been sending me some girls, you know, recently, and I’m like, ‘OK, Madison, keep them coming,'” Austen laughed.

Southern Charm airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c p.m. on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
