The second episode of Southern Charm Season 8 aired on Thursday on Bravo. It dealt with the aftermath of the drama at Kathryn Dennis' birthday party.
The premiere episode featured Southern Charm cast members attending the party, where Austen Kroll was shocked to learn that his best friend Craig Conover lied to him. Rumors of Conover and Naomi Olindo's hookup in Las Vegas were doing the rounds in episode 1. When Shep Rose asked Kroll, the latter confidently stated that it was untrue because if anything such had happened, Conover would have told him first.
At Dennis' party, Rose asked Conover in front of Kroll, and the rumors turned out to be true. In the latest episode, the latter was seen irked after learning that Conover didn't tell him the truth but told Dennis. Episode 2 saw him finding out the details about Olindo and Conover's hookup. His meddling in his co-star's dating life has annoyed fans as they called Kroll "messy."
Fans slam Austen Kroll for not being a good friend to Craig Conover
Craig Conover was seen telling John Pringle that he didn't trust Austen Kroll with secrets as he couldn't keep things to himself. Throughout the second episode, Kroll seemed impatient and curious to gather more information about Conover and Naomi Olindo's hookup.
He didn't believe Conover after mentioning that the truth had been told to the latter's current girlfriend, Paige DeSorbo. Towards the end of the episode, Kroll was seen being super nosy with his questions to Olindo at her house party. He even threw his friend under the bus by telling her what Conover told him and Rose about their hookup.
Seeing Kroll's behavior in episode 2, fans were not happy. They urged Conover to stop being friends with Kroll and further shared their opinions on Twitter.
