Austen Kroll expressed his support for Salley Carson amidst her ongoing dispute with Taylor Ann Green. Additionally, he shed light on his recent separation from Audrey Pratt and discussed the potential rivalry between the casts of Southern Charm and Summer House following Paige DeSorbo‘s breakup with Craig Conover.

Recently, Taylor alleged that Salley was involved with a married doctor and had a hidden boyfriend, all while attempting to pursue both Craig and Austen. Salley refuted these claims, firmly telling Taylor to “shut” her “mouth.”

In a conversation with Page Six, Austen weighed in on the conflict between Taylor and Salley.

“I’m puzzled as to why [Taylor] is choosing to target Salley now, especially since everything seemed to have settled,” Austen remarked, referencing their prior issues. “I’m actually proud of Salley for standing up for herself. There have been so many instances where I’ve remained silent after someone spoke out, letting the issue fade away. Sometimes I wish I had spoken up. Salley has every right to defend herself.”

In an interview for Chicks in the Office, Austen shared more details about his split with Audrey.

“I was having conversations that I feel like normal people have after like a year and a half in of [wondering], what’s that next move? Because I don’t want to do it any longer, you know, three years apart from one another,” he said. “It was really nice for the amount of time that we did it, and then it was getting to the point of, what’s next?”

Austen claimed nothing ‘bad’ happened between them.

“That’s what’s made it so hard, and so like adult at the same time,” he explained. “Normally [there’s a] breakup because something happens. … I’ve never broken up with somebody in that manner … Let’s be honest, like in the past too, like I’ve maybe begun to fizzle out [in the relationship], and in my head, I’m like, I’m kind of over this, but I’m too chicken-s**t to break up with you. So you drive your partner nuts.”

At one point in the interview, he was asked if there was a rivalry between Southern Charm and Summer House after Craig’s split.

“After the breakup, maybe [there was],” Austen answered. “Because I think that there’s just like some snarky going back and forth [between castmates]. And at first, it was like, all right, well let’s ride for our show, you know, and they’re riding hard for theirs.”

“And it really wasn’t like an anti[-anyone], because I did text Paige after their breakup, and she texted back a very kind message,” he continued. “I don’t have beef with anyone.”
