‘Southern Charm’ Premiere: Taylor Gets Fired Up and Craig Hurls F-Bombs in Shouting Match About Shep

Welcome back to Charleston, where Austen Kroll’s relationship with Shep Rose’s ex, Taylor Ann Green, has gone sour Southern charm group of star friends wide open.

But before that, Taylor gushed about the joys of being single with Austen’s ex Olivia Flowers.

“Breaking up with Shep and Austen kind of brought me and Taylor closer together,” Olivia said in a confessional interview. “They are pretty much glued to the hip at the moment. Neither of us have been single in this town before, so we somehow manage together.”

Olivia, 31, and Taylor, 28, literally navigated Charleston while going rollerblading. “She’s definitely my sister,” Taylor told the cameras. “Ride or die.”

Taylor told Olivia that she was enjoying not having to account for others anymore. “It’s nice not having to worry about someone,” Taylor said. “I feel like I’m still catching my breath after Shep.”

Olivia shared that things changed with Austen after they spent time together in New York.

“When we came back from New York, he was just telling me to give him a chance to be the guy I knew and thought he was,” she recalled in a confessional interview. “I said ‘OK,’ and then, not even a week later, he told me that his feelings had changed.”

Taylor told Olivia that while she’ll “always cherish the time” she spent with Shep, “having it go down so quickly was going to be a complete think—.”

Taylor said in her confessional: “I was in love with Shep and I wanted to go full force, there’s no going back, let’s do it. Let’s get married, start a family, do all these things. And after Shep and I broke up, I still really wanted to make things work. And he said, ‘I’m not going to change.'”

Meanwhile, Shep hoped he and Taylor could be friends after returning to town following a trip to South Africa and Australia with Austen, 36.

“I loved getting away from Charleston, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say Taylor was on my mind at least a few times a day,” Shep (43) admitted in the confessional. “I don’t know if time has healed anything for Taylor, but I hope she’s willing to try to fix things and be friends.”

MADISON’S WEDDING CELEBRATION

Olivia and Taylor would come face to face with Austen and Shep at Madison LeCroy’s wedding celebration to Brett Randle. They got married in Mexico with only her son Hudson present. Since then, Brett has traveled three days a week to work as a firefighter in California.

Austen offered peace to Madison, 32, by giving her a gift he told her not to shake. “If it’s ticking, that means—” he joked, stopping abruptly. “But yeah, it’s like a birthday card.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Austen said in a later interview that he was far from ready or willing to be impressed by Brett. “I thought this guy was going to be like a Greek god,” TropHop said of the beer. “I mean, the way Madison talks about Brett, she’s like, ‘Oh, you know, his p— is so big and he’s so freaking hot.’ Seriously, what does this guy have that I don’t?”

Taylor then gave Madison her own gift – a vibrator. “You’re going to go a long way,” she explained. “I thought you might . . .”

Madison took it with grace, telling Taylor, “Thank you, we’ll never forget that.”

Taylor’s awkward afternoon continued when Shep approached her at the bar. Shep told Taylor she looked great and they talked about her trips to London and Paris.

Meanwhile, Austen walked up to Olivia and asked, “How have you been in December since I last talked to you?”

Olivia said she was “good” and informed Austen that she spent Christmas in Sedona, Arizona.

“You could have texted me that, but you chose not to,” Austen replied. “And you decided to give me a thumbs up instead when I said, ‘Hey, I hope you have a merry Christmas.’

Olivia excused herself for not answering Austen because “it was the first time you’ve spoken to me in a very long time.”

Instead of adding to the tension, Olivia asked Austen, “What do you need from me right now to enjoy your day?”

“Nothing at the moment,” Austen said.

So Olivia decided, “We can go our own fucking ways.”

Taylor walked over to Austen for a hug, but she still felt angry about talking to Shep.

“[Shep] he cheated on me ten times,” Taylor told Austen and Rodrigo Reyes, “and I know some of you know about it.”

Taylor was confused by rumors that Shep had gotten involved with Lev Bonaparte’s employee Mia Alario, but Austen denied that this ever happened.

Taylor claimed that Craig Conover “laughed at it” and “thought it was hysterical”.

Craig, however, countered that he tried to stop Shep from hooking up with Mia. But Taylor was disappointed that Craig allegedly never reached out to her after breaking up with Shep.

“Do you realize how much bullshit that is?” Taylor asked Craig, 34. “We used to be friends.”

Craig said he didn’t approach Taylor because he’s friends with Shep.

“He’s a freaking human being,” Taylor asserted.

Craig felt that Taylor was “distracting the fact that Shep hurt her”, but Taylor felt hurt that Craig “doesn’t have my back”.

The fight escalated into profanity-filled yelling when Craig tried to prove to Taylor that he stopped Shep from cheating with Mia.

“I fucking threw it through the fucking wall, okay? Well screw you, Craig told Taylor. “If it wasn’t for me, he would have slept with that fucking girl and I should have let him. Jesus, stop fucking yelling at me. I didn’t deceive you, my friend did. So stop yelling about s— you don’t know about.”

Trying to put things into perspective for Craig, a teary-eyed Taylor asked the Sewing Down South founder, “What if your girlfriend cheats on you?”

Madison immediately jumped on Taylor for suggesting this, scolding her, “No Taylor! You must not say that!”
