Southern Charm Recap: Salley Hints She’s Better for Austen Than Audrey

Salley Carson raised eyebrows on Southern Charm after confirming she had the hots for Austen Kroll — while he was still in a relationship with Audrey Pratt.

“I’m a girls’ girl, I love Audrey, but my personality fits with Austen very well,” Salley, 30, confessed to pals Rodrigo Reyes and Molly O’Connell during the Wednesday, November 26, episode of the Bravo series.

Salley pondered, “Would I hook up with him?” before admitting she wouldn’t hesitate. “The day after they break up, Let’s go!” she said with a laugh.

When Molly, 37, recounted the conversation to Madison LeCroy she was visibly surprised. “Should we, like, make a bet? Who’s going to bang who?” Madison, 35, asked.

Shep Rose finally exploded on Austen Kroll during the newest episode of Southern Charm and admitted he was not cool with Austen kissing his ex-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green. “You can’t change. That’s the problem here, Shep,” Austen, 36, told Shep, 43, during the Thursday, December 14, episode of the Bravo series after the two pals […]

Molly rolled her eyes, replying, “Oh, God.”

Later in the episode, Austen and girlfriend Audrey attended Salley’s “Salley Sells Singles by the Sea Shore” party at the beach where Madison spilled the tea about Salley’s crush confession.

“So are Craig [Conover] and Salley a thing?” Audrey asked after seeing Salley flirting with the Sewing Down South founder.

Madison replied, “Honestly, I think Salley has the hots for Austen.” Audrey made a face, before saying, “OK.”

At the end of the episode, Audrey tells Austen, 37, what she heard about Salley’s feelings toward him and the conversation gets awkward.

“Oh, my gosh. That’s not true. Salley likes Craig. And Salley is the class flirt,” Austen explained. “With that being said, I do like her. I can joke with her and play football. I don’t want to think every time I’m speaking with her [it’s not OK].”

Audrey noted it’s “all well and good,” but warned, “We’ll have a breaking point if it gets too far.” (Austen confirmed to Us Weekly on November 13 that he and Audrey called it quits earlier this year after dating less than two years.)

While Salley caused a stir with her Austen confession, she was more focused on flirting with Craig, 36, throughout the episode.

“I was in Craig’s hot tub until 4 in the morning. We were just doing shots. It was fun,” she told Venita Aspen, revealing they spent one-on-one time together after Madison’s baby shower one episode prior.

When Craig arrived at her beach party, Salley was visibly excited to see him, but Craig had his sights set on her single friend, Charley Manley.

“What the f***?” Salley said during a confessional after seeing Craig and Charley swimming together.

Salley confronted Charley about her actions, but Charley denied she was trying to get Craig’s attention. “It was not like that at all,” Charley vowed.

Salley, however, wasn’t convinced that Charley was innocent.

“You’re full of s***. I’m not a f***ing idiot, I can see when someone is flirting and they were right in front of my face,” Salley told the cameras.

Prior to the season 11 premiere, the Southern Charm cast teased a love triangle between Craig, Charley and Salley.

“It came out of nowhere,” Salley exclusively told Us earlier this month about her and Charley’s joint attraction to Craig. “I didn’t know if she would even like any of them.”

Charley recalled being uneasy about the situation, telling Us, “Salley and I don’t disagree or ever really get into fights. To have this uncomfortable area of our friendship was definitely difficult.”

Southern Charm airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
