After talking to Taylor Ann Green, in which she learned that Taylor and Austen Kroll were considering a date, Olivia Flowers cried in her car and called Lev Bonaparte on Thursday. Southern charm.

“During that time she says they talked, I was in California for three days,” Olivia, 30, said in an on-camera interview. “And the whole time I was gone, Austen was reaching out to me to give him another chance – and Taylor was a big reason why I decided to forgive him. And then a week later, he suddenly changes his mind.”

Meanwhile, Taylor, 28, called Austen, 36. He tried to convince Taylor that “it wasn’t a good time to tell” Olivia about their conversation.

“Austen and Olivia, were they ever together?” Taylor wondered to the cameras. “I mean, it was very confusing.”

Austen did not want to take responsibility. “I’m sick and tired of apologizing to everybody because I didn’t do anything wrong,” Taylor said.

The game of telephone continued when Austen called Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Shep Rose to tell him she wasn’t planning on going to her Day Chaser canned cocktail event. Shep, 43, asked why, and Austen explained that Olivia had just found out about his conversation with Taylor.

“Nothing happened,” Austen assured. “Hand on the Bible.”

A DAY IN THE CHASE FOR THE TRUTH

Ahead of the event at her restaurant, Leva tried to get Taylor to be honest with Olivia.

“You owe her the whole truth,” he said southern hospitality star, 44.

In an on-camera interview, Leva said she thinks “there was more to it” than what Taylor initially told Olivia.

“No one falls for d—,” she said. “Nobody gets into a relationship.”

Leva called Austen’s no-show at Taylor’s event “petty,” while Olivia thought it was “Exhibit A of who Austen is.”

Olivia and Shep went to the event together, and in the car, Olivia informed Shep about how Austen and Taylor had talked to their families about the possibility of a date.

“The fact that it’s run by people means there was more than just friendship,” he said.

Shep thought about how the situation had come about,

“Maybe she just needed her hands to run,” Shep told Olivia. “But for him to be of those hands, considering you and me, is fucking reprehensible.”

Shep Rose Says Austen Kroll ‘Should’ve Known Better’ Than To Hook Up With Taylor Ann Green (Exclusive)

Instead of going to the Day Chaser event, Austen spent the night with Whitney Sudler-Smith at Whitney’s mom Patricia Altschul’s house. Austen recounted the drama to Whitney, 55, and Whitney asked if Austen and Taylor had ever kissed.

“No,” Austen said before asking, “What if we did?”

Shep concluded that Austen wouldn’t make a move on Taylor “out of respect for Shep,” but told the cameras, “It kind of smells like a rat in here.”

Austen called Craig Conover at the Day Chaser party and invited him, Shep, and Madison LeCroy to Patricia’s house.

Before Shep could get going, he ran into Taylor.

“I was just surprised to hear that you actually discussed whether you should see each other so soon after that,” Shep Taylor said. “It’s wild. That’s crazy.”

“I never came close to hooking up with Austen,” Taylor insisted.

She also pointed out that Shep quickly moved on as well. “Austen is the only person I had to lean on at that point,” Taylor told Shep. “We were both very broken people.”

Shep didn’t understand how Taylor could be thinking about a relationship with Austen.

“We laughed at him,” Shep said of Austen. “We laughed at his behavior. And you knew everything. You knew everything about him and you still thought, ‘Let’s try it?'”

Leva chimed in to remind Taylor that she was hosting a “work thing.”

IT COMES TO YOUR HEAD

Shep left with Craig, 34, and Madison, 32, after what he said was a “head-on” with Taylor.

When they got to Patricia’s house, Shep and Austen were talking privately. Shep informed Austen that Oliva had told him about the conversation he had with Taylor “about maybe we should get together.”

“It takes things to another level,” Shep said.

Austen tried to explain himself. “I always thought she and I were just super tight and super close,” Shepu said. “And I didn’t think it would ever become a point of contention.”

Shep asked Austen, “If you hook up, would you tell me?”

“Define ‘entangled,'” Austen replied, leaving the conversation on an ominous note.
