Bravo gave Southern Charm fans an early gift during Tuesday’s Virtual Reali-Tea Awards: an exclusive Season 12 preview featuring Salley Carson confronting Austen Kroll about his dating habits. In the clip, Carson asks Kroll why he wined and dined another woman but never extended her the same effort. Kroll’s response was brief and evasive, telling her there’s“no proper and right answer other than I like where we are.”That answer landed about as well as you’d expect.
The tension between these two has been building since Season 11, when Carson pursued Kroll while he was dating Audrey Pratt. They later made out on a cast trip to Mexico, and Kroll has since publicly referred to Carson as a“bar rat”while saying he wants someone more“tamed down.”Carson, for her part, hosts the Sex Unlocked podcast and works as a spine surgery robot operator.
Southern Charm Season 12 premieres Thursday, November 12 on Bravo, and if this preview is any indication, the Austen and Salley saga is far from over. Do you think Austen owes Salley a real answer, or is he right to keep things where they are? Sound off in the comments.
