‘Southern Charm’ panel gets heated when Austen Kroll again attempts to explain agreement with Taylor Ann Green not to tell friends they kissed
Similar to what has played out already this season on “Southern Charm,” disagreements began during the show’s BravoCon panel with how the news of Austen and Taylor’s kiss was shared with the group. On the show, Taylor did not come clean when Olivia asked if anything happened between her and Austen. At the time, Taylor stuck to a prior agreement with Austen not to tell anyone about their kiss and told Olivia nothing happened. Later on, Austen admitted to Shep he kissed Taylor.
At the BravoCon panel, Austen was insistent on saving any explanations for the reunion. Taylor said she wanted to “come out with the truth from the very get-go.”
“You had a decision earlier in the night. I can’t tell you what to do, I wasn’t there,” Austen said to Taylor.
The crowd started to boo.
“What was I supposed to do, lie to Shep’s face?” Austen said.
“So I was supposed to lie to him, go and talk to Taylor and then come back?” he added.
“That’s what you told Taylor to do,” Olivia chimed in.
Austen claimed he didn’t tell Taylor not to say anything, which drew more boos from the crowd.
We’ll have to wait for the reunion to see how this will all ultimately play out.

OG ‘Housewives’ panel: Kyle Richards responds to critics who say decisions about marriage are about ratings
In a panel with fellow day-one “Housewives” from various franchises, Kyle Richards of “RHOBH” said that it’s untrue that her split from husband Mauricio Umansky was to boost TV ratings.
“I’m like, first of all what human being would do that to their family?” she said. “This is not a made-up situation for ratings. It’s a very real situation, it was really difficult and very painful. And trying to navigate it with not only the cameras, but the outside world … it’s very, very difficult.”
“I can’t blame the show,” she also said. “I personally think if you go into reality television and there’s cracks in your marriage, your marriage won’t survive.”

Erika referenced a guest appearance by “RHOA” icon Cynthia Bailey, who was also confused by Denise.
“She was like, ‘Is there an example you can give Erika?’” Erika said.

“This is not my fairytale clearly,” she added. “I do appreciate all of your support.”

“Actually we did have a conversation for that one on one,” Sutton said.
Sutton’s friend Garcelle Beauvais said she “totally” understands Kyle wanting to discuss it off camera and she feels for Kyle but said, “We’re on a reality show.”
“That’s part of our job is to ask things of each other,” Garcelle said.
