‘Southern Charm’ Drama: Austen Kroll Hooks Up with Shep’s Ex Taylor Ann Green

Southern Charm stars, Taylor Ann Green and Austen Kroll, hooked up “at the start” of filming Season 9.

“Taylor has almost gone through the whole cast, minus Craig,” one source dished to Page Six. 

Original cast member, Craig Conover, is currently in a relationship with Paige DeSorbo. 

Insiders told the outlet that Austen and Taylor are going to “try and say they only made out,” but as the season unfolds the steamy encounter will be “revealed to be more than that.”

Austen dated Taylor’s close friend, Olivia Flowers, for about six months, and fans know that Taylor, 28, was involved in an exclusive relationship with Austen’s buddy and co-star, Shep Rose, for two years. 

“[Season 9] is gonna be about her,” the snitch dished.

The source alleged that Taylor was “screaming and crying and yelling in front of all the guests” during one cast gathering. 

Shep, 43, is reportedly “fine” with Taylor hooking up with his best pal and is even “defending” his ex amid the Charleston chatter. Taylor and Shep’s relationship ended at the conclusion of Season 8 filming season, after Shep refused to let go of his bachelor lifestyle.

“[He] refused to commit to Taylor, telling her that he doesn’t want to be with just one person and change his lifestyle,” an insider told People, last summer.

Olivia, 30, who shares a close relationship with Taylor, is “aware [of the situation], but she’s had bigger issues to deal with,” the source said, making reference to the tragic death of her brother, Connor Flowers, last month. 

Flowers, 32, passed away on January 30, at his Isle of Palms residence, outside Charleston, SC. Olivia appeared to share a close relationship with her brother, as each shared photos of the other on their respective Instagram pages.

The outlet’s sources hinted that the other women on the cast are trying to distance themselves from the drama surrounding Taylor, as filming season rolls on. 

“The girls don’t f–k with her because they know she’s crazy and will do anything to climb the ladder,” an insider claimed. 

There are other circulating rumors alleging that Taylor also hooked up with Southern Charm creator and cast member, Whitney Sudler-Smith. 

Austen, Taylor, Whitney, Olivia, Craig and Venita Aspen recently took off for Jamaica—but it appears that Shep stayed behind. Olivia shared a video of Austen, Whitney and Craig on train during the cast getaway. 

Austen was asked if he would ever consider dating Shep’s ex, in an October interview with Us Weekly.

“I mean, I love Taylor to pieces, and I cherish her friendship, and we’ve gotten very close,” he said at the time. “She’s an important person in my life, and I wanna keep it that way.”

“I just think that would be crossing a whole bunch of lines, and a bunch of friendships would really be affected by that. I’m telling you that would be a fricking [sic] bomb to drop, that is for sure,” he added.
