A Tense Conversation
Longtime friends Craig Conover and Austen Kroll are at odds in the dramatic trailer for Southern Charm Season 10. Released on Monday, the trailer hints at a significant shift in their friendship as they sit down for a tense conversation. During the meeting, Conover bluntly states, “Our friendship will never be the same again,” leaving Kroll visibly upset. Kroll responds irritably, saying, “I knew you’d react like this.”
Tensions escalate as Conover, 36, tells Kroll, 37, that he can “sink or swim,” with Kroll opting for the latter and storming off in frustration. As co-hosts of the podcast Pillows and Beer, the two continue to clash during a group dinner, with Kroll exclaiming, “You’re a fraud!” Conover fires back, “I’m a lawyer and a storyteller!” This exchange underscores the growing rift between them, though the exact cause of their falling out remains unclear.
Impact of Career Changes
The trailer suggests that Conover’s shift from the relaxed lifestyle in Charleston, South Carolina, to expanding his successful business, Stitch Down South, may play a role in the conflict. Kroll expresses his concerns to their mutual friend, Shep Rose, saying, “If people see Craig holding a beer, he thinks his entire business will collapse.
” Rose agrees, noting that Conover’s habit of cutting people off is not a sustainable solution. This growing tension over career changes highlights the pressures that come with personal and professional growth, impacting their long-standing relationship.
Friend Feedback
Conover’s girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo, shares her candid thoughts, remarking that Kroll and Shep are acting “like they’re foaming at the mouth” by suggesting that Conover has changed because of her. Despite their long-standing friendship, fans are growing concerned about the severity of the rift, especially since the two stopped recording their podcast together in the spring. This feedback from friends illustrates how external perceptions can further complicate existing tensions and relationships within the group.
Other Cast Conflicts
Conover and Kroll aren’t the only ones facing challenges this season. Madison LeCroy and Jarrett “JT” Thomas appear to clash after Conover tells LeCroy that Thomas called her a “harlot.” LeCroy snaps back, “He’s going to be a fool when I’m done with him.” Meanwhile, Rose admits he “loves” former Miss Bahamas Sienna Evans but faces mockery from friends who think he’s “delusional” since “she’s not into him.
” Returning Bravo cast members include Venita Aspen, Leva Bonaparte, Taylor Ann Green, Rodrigo Reyes, Patricia Altschul, and Whitney Sudler-Smith, while newcomers Salley Carson, Molly O’Connell, and Ryan Albert join the cast this season.
