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?

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10?

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.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SOUTHERN CHARM SEASON 11 EPISODE 10? DO YOU BELIEVE CRAIG OR SALLEY? WERE YOU SURPRISED AUSTEN BROKE UP WITH AUDREY?

The post Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 10 Recap: Farm-to-Table Gossip appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9?

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.

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SOUTHERN CHARM SEASON 11 EPISODE 9? DID AUSTEN GO TOO FAR IN THE LATEST FIGHT WITH CRAIG?

The post Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 9 Recap: Keep Your Enemies Closer appeared first on Reality Tea.

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!

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE SOUTHERN CHARM MID-SEASON TRAILER? DOES CRAIG TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY?

The post Southern Charm Season 11 Midseason Trailer: Craig Conover Branded ‘A Lost Soul’ appeared first on Reality Tea.

Shep Rose and Craig Conover living together simply must be filmed for Southern Charm. The two reality TV stars have been friends for years, aside from some bickering about Craig’s prior relationship. Overall, the idea of the two single friends irritating each other over living habits then going out on the town together could be a reality TV show of its own.

On the recent episode of Southern Charm, Shep checked in with Rodrigo Reyes, charged with decorating his new home, about the progress. The original Southern Charm star bought a $3.25 million home on Sullivan’s Island in Charleston, South Carolina. He also chose to lease the Isle of Palms beach house that he always filmed in. Just for reference, Shep is raking in $1,200 per night in short term rental fees during the summer season. However, in the meantime, he needs to crash somewhere.

Craig Conover got into his and Shep Rose’s living habits

On Southern Charm Season 11, Episode 8, Shep joked that he was “kinda homeless” and planned to temporarily move in with Craig.

“My Isle of Palms house is being rented and it’s on the short-term rental market; in the summertime, it gets really good prices,” Shep explained in a confessional interview. “And, my new house doesn’t have any furniture or a bed; there are mattresses are on backorder; I don’t have a TV; I need cable … There’s things that need to happen for it to be a home.”

Craig has developed a knack for hosting these days. For his part, Shep showed up with “sweaty, fishy clothes.” Apparently, getting vacation laundry done after a fishing trip to Cuba was impossible.

“I used to be the messiest person in the world; My house is a little different these days, and I like it the way that I like it,” Craig said. “But, Shep just makes things feel very lived-in, is how I will put it. So, my cleaning ladies are on standby.”

Winter House viewers will know how Craig feels about doing his own cleaning. It is certain that he will keep his house in order. Outsourcing the work is also a given.

The post Why Southern Charm’s Shep Rose and Craig Conover and Living Together appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 8?

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.

Monica Garcia was the villain of Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. She exited after just one season, but that doesn’t mean that Monica stayed out of the drama. In fact, she just dragged a Southern Charm star.

Of course, Shep Rose is no stranger to throwing shade. During BravoCon, he had a meltdown at a bar. He called Craig Conover and Paige DeSorbo’s relationship “a sham,” and his tirade was caught on camera. It wasn’t a good look for poor Shep. And now Monica is slamming him for his social media activity.

Shep Rose has been liking anti-Monica comments on social media

Monica posted a photo of herself on her Instagram Story. She wrote across the image, “I will sleep just fine tonight knowing a grown man, Shep Rose, is somewhere scrolling on his phone repeatedly liking comments saying I’m gross.” Yikes! I’m not sure why Shep has such strong feelings about Monica.

Of course, Monica has been vocal and has been weighing in on Season 6 of RHOSLC. While most of the cast have been questioning Meredith Marks and her odd behavior, Monica is defending her. Plus, Monica alleged that one of the cast members brought cocaine to BravoCon.

“We ready to talk about how worried you were that people would possibly find your c*ke stash in your suitcase at BravoCon?” the RHOSLC alum wrote via Instagram. “It’s not about the c*ke. It’s about the hypocrisy.”

In addition, Monica posted a video on Instagram, standing up for Meredith. “When everyone wants to accuse Meredith of being an alcoholic, but she wasn’t the one that was taken away in an ambulance to the ER for alcohol poisoning,” she wrote. Meanwhile, Monica did not name which cast members she was referring to, leaving the guessing game to fans.

Southern Charm Season 11 is back after a holiday hiatus! Last time, Craig was furious when Austen skipped his pool party. Venita and Salley were called out for gossiping about Molly’s vagina (specifically her labiaplasty). Molly confronted Salley and called her a “malicious” person who needs therapy. Speaking of, Craig promised a concerned Madison that he’d go back to therapy after his recent outbursts. Craig, Salley, and Charley once again ended the night in his hot tub. What happened this week on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6?

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6? 

This week, Madison and Shep move into their new homes, with Brett jokingly telling the movers to throw away Austen’s giant teddy bear. Salley and Venita continue to be at an impasse in their friendship. Miss Patricia prepares for her annual guy’s dinner, hoping to avoid the chaos of years past. Austen and Craig see each other for the first time since their fight at Whitner’s birthday. And Craig admits something shocking about his relationship with Paige. What else happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6, “A Medium Rare Apology,” this week? 

Is Shep the Warren Beatty of Charleston? 

Shep’s cousin Marcie, who now has two young children, returns to Southern Charm this week. The female Shep may have settled down, but hold your shock … Shep doesn’t plan to any time soon. When Shep says he’s looking for a “fellow traveler,” Marcie slightly roasts him by saying, “Sounds like you’re looking for someone flexible to fit your needs.” He admits, “I sound like an egomaniac.” Shep compares himself to Warren Beatty, who famously didn’t settle down until his 50s. But he feels like he’s making adult strides by moving into a big new house, at least. 

Venita and Salley are at an impasse 

Venita and Salley meet up to try and hash things out. But they can’t stop commenting on how awkward it is. Getting to the point, Salley refuses to stop hanging out with Craig. Venita asks what the end goal is, reminding Salley she wants to be a wife, and accusing Craig of wasting her time. But Salley is just having fun. Salley is frustrated with Venita trying to tell her what to do. Venita insists she’s trying to protect Salley from getting her heart broken. She warns that Craig will “walk you like a dog on a leash until he is done with you.” Salley insists Venita let her find that out for herself, and walks out. 

Molly won’t let Whitney live down that cupcake comment 

Molly stops by Whitney’s lair (seriously, why does he call it that) to give his belated birthday gift. It’s a cupcake, referencing his body shaming comment last season. Molly refuses to let him live it down- nor should she! 

When she first hooked up with Whitney a decade ago, Molly thought they’d date. Which seems silly now. Whitney rightfully acknowledges she’s too good for him. After dragging each other’s bad tattoos, Molly plays him her music. Whitney says it’s not for him, but admits he has bad taste in music. Cue the flashbacks to him embarrassingly playing guitar over the years.

Molly starts to clue Whitney in on the drama, since he hasn’t been in the group much this year. She tells him about Salley’s gossiping, which forces her to reveal her labiaplasty. I cannot emphasize enough how much I did not want to hear Whitney describe labia surgery, but Southern Charm forced me to anyway. 

Will Charley go for Craig?

Charley meets up with her older sister this week, and shares more about her backstory. Her mom was married three times, and Charley doesn’t speak to her biological father. But she’s glad her mom found the right man the third time, who raised her. Through therapy, Charley realized she was her mom’s “consoler” growing up. She thinks this is why she has a hard time prioritizing herself now. She tells her sister she likes Craig, but Salley likes him too. Her sister encourages her to go for it. 

Craig’s ChatGPT breakthrough about Austen 

Speaking of, Craig meets Whitner for beers at By The Way (his and Austen’s bar). He apparently had a breakthrough in therapy with … ChatGPT. It helped him realize why Austen triggers him. Austen staying in a relationship with Audrey despite not wanting to marry her brings back Craig’s unresolved feelings about Paige. It’s an interesting theory, at least. Whitner can sympathize with and relate to Craig’s post-breakup blues, considering his fiance dumped him. 

After crying to ChatGPT, Craig feels like he can move on. Now, he’s wondering what “the rules are about making out” and if he has to date someone after. Whitner brings up the two single women who spend a lot of time in his hot tub, encouraging Craig to ask one of them out. Whitner says that, after what he went through, he has no fear about asking girls out. He even got stood up on Valentine’s Day! Whitner, I have a feeling a lot of Southern Charm fans are about to ask you out via DMs.

Miss Patricia prepares for this year’s guy’s dinner 

It’s time again for Miss Patricia’s guy’s dinner. She claims she started the tradition because the guys give her the best gossip. While preparing this year, Patricia has some issues with her current butler Randy. Especially after he accidentally melted his cell phone in the oven! Michael is just too tough of an act for another butler to follow. RIP Michael, we all miss you. 

This year’s theme is East Asian, and Miss Patricia claims the dragon adorning her china represents love and friendship. She hopes that means Austen and Craig can mend things. But Austen is dreading the dinner. Audrey is similarly offended by Craig’s comments about their relationship. 

Whitner finally meets Patricia, and Whitney’s British doctor friend Stephen joins the group this year. Patricia warns Stephen and Whitner about the past disasters, like when Craig broke a chair and spilled wine, or when Whitney fell down. Whitney isn’t as harsh on Shep as last year, when he kept making digs about Sienna. But he is offended by Shep’s casual shirt. 

Patricia grills the guys about their love lives 

When Patricia asks if he and Audrey will get married anytime soon, Austen answers “no” so definitively and emphatically that Stephen can’t help but laugh. Oof, maybe Craig has a point about Austen stringing Audrey along? 

When asked who he has an eye on, Whitner shares that he was interested in Charley. He even asked if she wanted to get a drink sometime at Salley’s singles party. However, Charley shot him down by saying she’d go if it were a “group thing.” Ouch! 

Patricia brings up the hot tub, and Craig says no one’s even kissed yet. What are they possibly doing in that hot tub until 4 am then? Stephen says Craig seems like the serious relationship type, and Craig reveals that he would get back with Paige if she asked. Everyone is stunned by this … because that ship sailed a long time ago. 

Where do Craig and Austen go from here? 

All in all, disaster was avoided at dinner, though there was some debate over if Stephen broke his chair. 

Afterwards, Craig and Austen chat one on one. The extremely loud frogs outside add to the tension. Austen feels like he has to play a game of chess with Craig, because he never knows how he’ll react. Craig insists Austen’s digs triggered his feelings about being hurt by friends. He apologizes again, emphasizes he’s in therapy (hopefully not just with ChatGPT) and asks for grace. Craig misses Austen, and Austen can’t help but care about him. But he warns Craig that if another outburst happens, they’re done. For now, Austen is keeping his expectations of Craig low. 

Next week on Southern Charm, it looks like Venita might be right, because Craig asks Charley out just as Salley admits she’s catching feelings. We’ll have to watch to see the fallout.

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

TELL US – WHAT DID YOU THINK OF SOUTHERN CHARM SEASON 11 EPISODE 6? HOW LONG DO YOU PREDICT AUSTEN AND CRAIG’S TRUCE LASTS?

The post Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 6 Recap: Craig’s Crying to ChatGPT appeared first on Reality Tea.

Craig Conover and Austen Kroll had better mind their manners when they’re around their buddy Shep Rose. He’s taking notes on things he might want to bring up at the Southern Charm reunion.

We’re only a few weeks into Season 11, but Shep’s already making plans for the reunion. “I prep all the time,” he said in a recent interview. “If I think of something, I write it down. So, I’ve got paragraphs of things. Some thoughts.”

Shep Rose keeps a “Season 11 reunion tab”

Shep is so organized, he recently told The Daily Dish, “I have a Season 11 reunion tab.” Though he didn’t want to give too much away, he admitted that this “tab” includes a few notes on any exchanges he thinks might come up for discussion later, especially anything involving his pals Craig or Austen.

Basically, Shep started taking notes after an evening with his friends at a restaurant in Charleston. When Craig heard that Shep was working with the restaurant, he reached out and asked if he could come along, too.

“I was like, ‘Oh, cool,'” Shep recalled. Wanting to make it a real buddies night, Shep also invited Austen. Although the Sewing Down South founder was initially cool with Austen, things heated up once the two came face to face.

Austen and Craig have been a little spicy with each other this season. Craig thinks Austen takes his girlfriend for granted, while Craig’s pining for his ex, Paige DeSorbo and wants nothing more than to have a girlfriend again.

The two longtime pals have a lot of history with each other and have experienced their fair share of drama over the years. They’ve fought over everything from their Pillows and Beer podcast to their different lifestyle choices.

At Whitner Slagsvol’s birthday party, Craig told Austen, “You’re living a lie! You’re stuck in a relationship, [but] you’re not happy … You told me that you were jealous I was single.”

Meanwhile, once they all got together, Shep said it turned into “the Craig and Austen show. The entire dinner, I barely said a word. I was just, like, good grief — these two.”

TELL US – DO YOU THINK AUSTEN AND CRAIG WILL EVER GROW UP?

The post Southern Charm’s Shep Rose Reveals His Reunion Secret appeared first on Reality Tea.

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?”

What happened on Southern Charm Season 11 Episode 5?

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 …

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.

Southern Charm star Molly O’Connell is officially “off the market.” The euphonium-playing belle found herself a new beau and Shep Rose has some thoughts.

Though she wasn’t ready to reveal his name, Molly shared that he’s “from the South” and has lived in Charleston, South Carolina, “for a long time.” In addition, he’s also a musician and plays the guitar, so they have a love of music in common.

Shep Rose called Molly O’Connell’s new boyfriend a “super good guy”

“I have been recently dating someone for the past few months,” Molly told The Daily Dish. “He’s my boyfriend.”

Shep weighed in, saying, “He’s a talented guy.” Molly’s former (brief) flame approves of her new boyfriend, pronouncing him a “super, super good guy.”

“We’re very happy about this,” Shep told Andy Cohen on the pair’s December 10 visit to Watch What Happens Live. “They’re in a band together. That always works, right?”

“I might put more money on it working than the two of you, with all due,” Andy quipped, referring to the pair’s short-lived hookup on the Season 10 finale.

After admitting her crush on Shep and their kiss at the season ending party, Molly and Shep went back to his place. Together they put an end to Molly’s previously “celibate” lifestyle and shared “a few fun nights,” but ultimately, the relationship didn’t go anywhere.

On the Southern Charm Season 11 premiere, Molly enjoyed a little flirt with Craig Conover’s buddy Kory Keefer, though she wasn’t buying his pick-up lines. “Oh, wow, shiny, toxic f*ckboy,” she said in a show confessional. “My therapy apparently is not working very well if this is who I think is cute.”
