- Tonight,
the "Southern Charm"

season seven reunion begins.

[quirky music]

- Hi, Danni.
- Hi.

- This is a big day, you know?

- This is gonna be
a black-and-white

striped sequin outfit.
It's bold.

- I just saw Austin
this morning tan his ankles

'cause he's going sockless.
- I'm really glad you came.

I really am.

- I never go into this
thinking

that anyone's gonna
have my back.

And if you do come for me,
I will have the last word,

and I think
everyone knows that.

- I'm not walking off that
stage until Madison's crying.

I bet she
doesn't have a ----ing soul,

so I don't know if it's
possible for her to cry.

- That's how Leva came off
this year, is sort of wagging

her finger at everybody.

- I didn't talk sh-- about you.

- I didn't say that.
- I heard you say that.

- I said--
- Did you just say that too?

- Leva, don't pretend
for a ----ing second

that you don't run
your mouth about everybody.

- Go do something
in the bathroom

and take care
of your nerves, honey.

- Stop.

- Some juicy stuff
going on next door.

- This one has used
this platform

to make the biggest
success of himself.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- And he's now the pillow king.

- Have you thought about doing
a Craig body pillow?

People can--
ladies can snuggle with you.

- You'd sell out of that sh--
fast, bro.

- Shep, have you been
faithful to her?

- Well, it--

- Leva,
what's your relationship

with Cameran like these days?

- I've haven't really
honestly heard from her.

- Do you think she's--

- There's no bad blood,
it just--

- Well, it doesn't sound good.

- You flew to Miami to (BLEEP)

an ex-MLB player.

- You're just mad
he ----ed your girlfriend.

- Oh, my God.

- And boom goes the dynamite.

- Austen's gotta ----ing
stand up for himself.

This is crazy.
At what point is he culpable?

At what point--
- Yeah.

I agree.
- And it's insane.

- You made it out
to all my friends

like I'm a bad person
who manipulates my friends.

- Stop being a ----ing victim.
I was trying--

- I'm not a ----ing victim.

You need to shut up with that
right ----ing now.

You're not gonna sit here
and distort my narrative

and slander me anymore,
girlfriend.

- I slandered you?
You slandered yourself.

- Eh, eh, eh, eh.
You hadn't seen this bitch

in a while.
I'm back. Okay.

- In five, four, three, two...

- The "Southern Charm"
season seven reunion

starts now.

- Mm-hmm.

- Hey, everybody.
I'm Andy Cohen, and welcome

to the "Southern Charm"
season seven reunion.

Per COVID protocols, we are
a bit farther apart than usual,

but as we look back
at an incredibly tense season,

I hope tonight we can work
towards coming together.

Hey, Shep,
you're looking sharp.

- Thank you.
- I know that your mom

recently came to town.

Did she pick out
your clothes for today?

- No, but I think
she would approve.

- Very good. Hi, Madison.

- Hi. How are you?
- Great to see you.

Your revenge bod is on fire.

- Thank you.
It's just getting started.

- Ooh. Hey, Pringle.
Welcome to your first reunion.

Did you do anything special
this morning to prepare?

- I had a couple bourbons.
- A couple bourbons?

- Yeah.
- Dear God.

- Okay.

Hey, Danni. Great to see you.

- Hello, Andy.
- Hey, Kathryn.

Love your new look.

- Thank you.

- We had a bit
of a cliffhanger--

- Right. Yeah.
- At the end of the finale.

[dramatic music]

- Come on.

[groans]

- You don't look pregnant.

both: What?
- I didn't hear this!

- Wait, what?
- Are you pregnant?

- What?
- No.

- I'm never surprised anymore.

- Nobody here knows
about it yet.

Yeah, hey, guys, in case
you wanted to know.

I don't know.
It's been a little while. Yeah.

- What the (BLEEP)?

- We haven't gotten
going yet, Kathryn.

- You seriously thought
you were pregnant?

- I really did.

I had missed my cycle

for, like,
almost three months, so...

- Wow.

You almost had
another Ravenel baby.

- [laughs]
- Yeah, but two Ls.

- With two Ls.

- Yes. Yes.
- Ooh.

- Oh, God. That's confusing.

- Hey, Austen.
- Hey, Andy.

How are you?
- I'm great.

I heard you were a little
apprehensive about tonight.

- No, just my buds forced me

to watch
the episodes last night,

and they were tough to watch.
That's it.

- Okay. Hey, Leva.
- Hi, Andy.

- How are you?
Congratulations are in order.

I saw you finally opened
your fourth restaurant.

- Yes. Yes.
- How's business

in these troubled times?
- It's decent.

I think that we just run
a really tight ship,

and, of course, Charleston's
a little more open

than New York, so...

- Okay. Hey, Craig.
- What's up?

- You are officially
a pillow magnate.

- I'm a pillow prince.
- You're a pillow prince.

- Pillow prince.

- But this is my favorite part
of all of this

is getting to hang with you
and talk sh-- about my friends.

[laughter]
- All right.

Well, we'll see how you feel
at the end of the day.

We got a lot of tweets
about how difficult it was

watching you guys navigate
the early days of the pandemic.

"'Southern Charm'
could easily be used

"as a historical account
of the beginning of COVID-19.

"The non-mask wearing
in Charleston

is making me a little crazy.

Okay, a lot crazy."

Looking back, do you think
you were a little naive

about what was to come
or what was going on?

I mean, you were
kind of a COVID denier.

- At the end of February
and the beginning of March.

I mean, sh-- was happening.
And I didn't wanna stop.

And so, selfishly, yeah,
I wanted to deny it.

- Who in the cast took
the virus the most seriously?

- Leva.
- Leva?

- Oh. Yeah. Sorry.
I thought Shep.

- Lulu definitely.

- We, like, shut down
immediately.

I mean, you just go from making
money to making nothing

but still having huge bills.

- Charleston's a food
and bev town.

- Yeah.
- Right.

- That's all there is to do.

- We leave and breathe
off of hospitality.

- Tina from Toledo, Ohio, said,
"Kathryn, I gotta say,

"you're already kinda a
professional social distancer.

"Was it nice having an excuse
for once to just stay at home

and disconnect from the world?"

- Absolutely. As well as having
social anxiety,

having a mask on
when I'm going out and about--

- I kinda liked it too.

- It's pretty awesome.
- I enjoyed it.

- Whitney claimed he was
stayed in Charleston

to be a dutiful son.

Does anyone else think
he just wanted to quarantine

at his mom's
with the Butler and--

- That is 1,000%.
- 1,000%.

- 1,000% what it was.
- Mama's boy.

- How often would he hang out
with you guys

during quarantine?
- Often. Like, once a week.

But he definitely kept us,

like, you know,
from here to here, Andy.

We're drinking some sh---y
bottle of scotch

that Whitney
has provided for us

and making us sit
20 feet away from him.

- I will say, during lockdown,

I really enjoyed

Austen and Craig's
Instagram Lives.

- Who is your daddy
and what does he do?

- "Do you like cats?"

Like, real cats
or, like, a movie?

Yo, we have to back roll
out of our--

- Ow.

- I was in bed with COVID

watching these two buffoons
sh-- canned.

[laughter]

Madison,
what did you think watching?

- I think that's, like,
their everyday banter.

- You were flying
around the country

sleeping with married men,
ex-MLB players.

That's what you were doing
during quarantine.

- Tell me--tell me--
tell me--give me a name.

- You know why
Austen was in my house?

Because you weren't
talking to him.

You flew to Miami to (BLEEP)
an ex-MLB player.

- Major League Baseball.

- That's what you were doing
during quarantine.

- That's exactly
what you were doing.

- That is exactly
the goddamn truth.

- Put me on a lie
detector tests.

I never flew to Miami.
Tell me when I went to Miami.

Where's the record of that?
- I don't give a (BLEEP).

I know exactly what you did.
- No, 'cause that's fake.

- That's what you were doing
when we were live.

- No, I didn't.
- She told me!

- She has been--
- No.

- Bragging to all of us.

- I saw the Instagram messages.
- (BLEEP).

- Austen, who was it?
- Stop saying (BLEEP).

- Who was it, Austen?
- It was (BLEEP).

- While you were dating Austen.

- By the way, I should say,

is a very famous
married ex-MLB player.

- That's right.
- ----ing home-wrecker.

- Sorry everybody knows.
- Craig, chill out.

- Calm down.
- Just wait.

- She's trash and I hate being

on the same stage as her.

- Okay, just calm down, dude.
- Sorry.

- This ex-MLB player,

is this someone
that you have DMed with?

- He contacted me,
and yes, we DMed,

but other than that,
there was nothing.

I've never physically seen him.
Touched him--

- You guys Facetime
all the time, Madison.

Stop.
- You're a ----ing liar.

- You Facetime
all the ----ing time.

- I am not a ----ing liar
and I will stand up for that.

I'm sorry. I'm not lying.
I will tell you the truth.

- And you are a liar.
- Shut your mouth.

- You did it next to me
at ----ing Tavern & Table.

You Facetimed him.
- Relax.

- Craig, we're, like,
20 minutes in.

- She's bragging about it.
That's it.

- Well, it's better than you.

- That's her whole life
is to brag.

- Okay.

- I don't think jerking off
on Facetime is cheating anyway.

[laughter]
- Ew!

- And so basically
what Andy is saying

is that he enjoyed us
on our Lives.

It was very funny.
- It was awesome.

- Craig and I were
having a blast.

It was hilarious.

And there's one person

in the entire world
that did not like it

because she hates when anything
good happens to me in my life.

- Hold on, can I be
a little bit of a--

can I just be a little bit
of a counterpoint to that?

- Thank you.
- Yes, Andy. Please. Sure.

- If I was dating you,

I would have
not liked it at all.

- She wasn't answering
the phone.

She wasn't in town.
- So let me just say that.

- Craig, zip it.
- She was M.I.A., Andy.

- It was funny for me to be
sitting in New York

watching you guys drinking--
- I get it. I get it.

- But if I was dating you--
- Do you get it?

- I get it.

- He was only at my house

because she was not
answering the phone.

- Trust me, I wasn't
interested after that.

- Oh, my God.
- I'm gonna move

and we're gonna
come back to this--

- This is not the point.
- Okay, guys.

- We're gonna come
back to this.

- He was at my house
because you weren't in town.

- You're just mad
he ----ed your girlfriend.

Relax.

- Oh, my God.

- And boom goes the dynamite.

- You're a ----ing liar.
You are a liar.

- I am not a ----ing liar
- Okay, just calm down, dude.

- You're just mad
he ----ed your girlfriend.

Relax.
- Oh, my God.

- Before I knew her. Who cares?

- Damn, this is some tea, yo.
- You clearly care.

- But Madison revealed
this piece of information

on "Watch What Happens Live."

- Charlotte B. wants to know
if either if you have met

Craig's new girlfriend,
Natalie, and if so,

do you think
she might be the one?

- She's not the one.
- I have.

I think she's wonderful.

- I mean, Austin slept with her
last summer,

and now Craig's dating her.

I just think that that's gonna
be a little too close to home,

if you know what I mean.

- I think you're in denial
if you didn't think

that was gonna come out, Craig.

- No, no, no. He knows.
Guys, give me a break.

- You said it in
a really mean way that night.

- Everyone on this couch
knows that fact.

- I did not say it
in a mean way, Andy.

- You said I'm disgusted by it

and that Craig and her are
not gonna last.

- I never said
I was disgusted.

I just said I didn't think
it was gonna last.

You have your thoughts
on my relationship

and my thought was that
it wasn't going to work out.

- Yeah, but it was a low blow.
Like--

- Did you think
it wasn't gonna work out

because she's already
been with Austin?

- Yes. I do.

I mean, that's gotta hurt you
in a sense.

Like, and that's normal.

- We are 30 years old.
All of us like to have fun.

If we are only exclusively
gonna date people

that we have not
crossed swords with,

then we don't ----ing have
a chance.

- But she was from
New York, Craig.

She's not from Charleston.

- And first off--
- What does that mean?

- Well, I mean, the pool
of people

that you've all been with
is quiet large.

- Austen, does it bother you?
- At first it was like--

- You were dating Madison.
- Yeah.

I met this girl from New York.

I was like, this is a girl

that I never have to,
you know, see again,

and now all of a sudden
my best friend wants

to choose this girl
out of this huge sea to date,

and now I'm gonna
have to come clean to Madison

and be like, "Yes, this girl
that you're about to meet"--

- You should've never
----ing told her.

- Is someone
that I've been with,"

and I was like, I just wish
it never happened.

- Madison weaponizes everything
you've ever told her.

- But that happened
early, Craig,

and I didn't like it,
and you know that,

and we had a little problem
about it,

but I do not care.

- I think it takes a lot of--

I don't know what the word is--

for Craig to say
that doesn't bother me.

'Cause it could bother
a lot of people.

- Some people may not
realize this,

and I had forgotten myself,
but I actually met Natalie

when I was hosting
"Love Connection."

- What?
- She was a contestant on--

- Shut up.

- Season one
of "Love Connection."

- Ooh.
- No!

- That's a little too weird.

- Did it bother you
that she was already

on "Love Connection"
before "Southern Charm?"

- What a...you picked
a good one, Craig.

- I mean, at the end
of the day,

like, you know,
Austen introduced us in Aspen

and...I don't know,
I fell for the girl.

- You were surprised
when you found out

she was on "Love Connection."

- I was shocked.

I mean, she should have
kinda came out

and told everybody right away
and been like, "Look at this."

I don't know if she was
trying to hide it, Craig.

I don't know. Did you know?
Did you know right off the bat?

- Well, yeah,
I mean I Google--

I'm used to Googling people.

- You apparently texted Madison
after she said it

on "Watch What Happens Live"
and said, "Going to war with me

is the dumbest thing
you've ever done."

- Yeah. We've been friends
for ten years.

- Have we though?

- Madison and I--
I've had her back.

- Craig, come on.
- Have we though?

- Craig, y'all have been
like this.

- Craig, why did that upset you
that she said that on the show

if you all already knew it?

- It was mean-spirited.

It was awful what she did.
She's a trash human.

I ----ing will never speak
to her again after tonight.

- Okay. All right.
- She's awful.

- You don't have
to get that dirty.

I think what Craig is saying
is he's like,

"If you wanna go after
somebody, go after me,"

and I think Natalie was
really hurt by it.

I was a little gobsmacked,
but I was like,

I already knew it,
so then to me,

I was like, we already knew it.
- We all knew.

- You hurt no one
but her that night.

- I think
from Craig's perspective--

- And I apologized
to her, Craig.

- It was more for Natalie.
- No, you didn't.

I read the ----ing text.

You tried to gaslight her like
you ----ing gaslight Austin.

You said,
"I know Craig's mad at me,

"but I can't wait to see you.

We're still cool."
You never said ----ing sorry.

- Do you want me to read you
what I wrote?

- Yes.
- Okay, good.

- 'Cause you're ----ing nuts.
- No.

- You're a sociopath that has
zero feelings for anyone else.

- Oh, my God. Okay.

I said, "Hey, I just wanna say
that I know

"that Craig was upset with me

"and I have been asked
this question in my interviews

and I thought
it was a known thing."

I said, "I never thought
that I was spilling any beans

"because everyone on the show
already knew

"and we had talked about it.

"I am sorry
if I upset you guys,

"and I am also sorry.

"I do not dislike you at all,

"and I do think
you're a nice person

from the one to two times
that I have met you."

I said, "I never meant
to clearly hurt you or Craig.

"I know you guys have thoughts
on my relationship

"and I have the same,

but I did not try
to hurt anyone."

- That was, like,
three apologies, dude.

- Yeah, that was an apology.

- So come for me one more time

and I will read
something else for you.

- Three times.
- That's not what it is.

- Okay, I will send it to you
You can laminate it.

- That's not a ----ing apology.
Are you kidding me?

- She apologized three times.

- I think Craig is saying
she didn't apologize to him.

- No, no, no.

I don't give a (BLEEP)
about me.

She didn't say sorry
in that text message.

- Oh.

- She did not say sorry
to Natalie.

- Craig--pass this around.
- I wanna see.

- You never said,
"Sorry, Natalie."

- We're doing read receipts.
God, that's so--

- I have a folder
for all of you--

- I know you do.
- Because I knew that you were

gonna come with me
with me some sh--.

- So pathetic.
- Craig's girl.

- I'm not in the folder.
- I have a folder?

What's the folder?

- She said, "I am sorry
if I upset you guys.

It wasn't my intention.
I don't dislike you."

You did add an "I'm sorry"

one of the times
that you were reading this.

You said "I'm sorry"
once in this.

- She said
"I'm sorry I upset you."

- She said,
"I'm sorry if I upset you.

That was not my intention."

- Guys, it doesn't
----ing matter.

At the end
of "Watch What Happens,"

she threw it out there
to hurt someone.

- No, it does because
don't lie on me, Craig.

- That's what she did.
- Okay. All right.

- She tried
to ----ing hurt someone.

She threw it out
at the ----ing--for no reason.

- What do you think you're
doing by talking like a trash--

- Just to talk
about the dating game--

- You're a trash human.

- You're the one
running your mouth.

- I wish she,
as soon as she met us--

- It's not the dating game.

It's "Love Connection"
and it's my show, so let's--

- Yeah, "Love Connection,"
"Southern Charm,"

whatever,
she's been on all of them.

- I hate finding
that out right now.

I mean, if in five, ten years,
whatever,

I meet someone
who's on a TV show,

I'm can be like, "You know
what, I was on a TV show"--

I mean, that would be, like,
the first thing

I'd say to somebody.

- Yes.
- That seems suspect to you.

- A little bit.

- For some reason I ----ing
fell for this girl.

I hated that she had been
with Austen,

but for some reason,

I had not had this feeling
about someone in years.

- I don't think you need
to explain that.

I think you love who you love.
- I'm happy for you guys.

And I like her a lot.
- Okay.

- Well, have a thick skin
if you're gonna sleep

with multiple people
on the couch.

- I have the thickest of skins.
- Okay, then act like it

and quit running
your mouth to me.

- I'm not running my mouth.

I'm speaking the truth today.
- You are.

If you call me trash in this
one more time, I'm going to--

- You are trash.
- Bro.

- Oh, my God.

- That's a bit much.
- Okay, that's--all right.

Okay.
- She's cruel.

You threw away
ten years of friendship,

and I will never speak to you
again after today.

- Coming up....

Shep, have you been
faithful to her?

- Well, it--

- You mad?

- Can I throw this at her?

- If it's one of your pillows,
I don't want it.

- I'm just, like, ready
for battle.

- You need a Juul?
- All right.

Well, last year,
Shep was a bit of a lost cause.

But this season with a
therapist and a new girlfriend,

the old rose finally was
looking a lot less thorny.

So, Shep, congratulations.
You wrote a book.

- Oh yeah. I got my book here.
- Nicey.

- Yeah, it's called
"Average Expectations:

Lessons in Lowering the Bar."

- That's awesome.
- Some of my stories,

dammit, are insane.

The craziest things happen
to me,

so I hope people read it
and get a good laugh.

So there you go.

- All right.
Well, congratulations to you.

And show of hands, who here
could have predicted

that Shep would be
in a serious relationship

at this moment?

[laughter]

- Never. Never.
- Okay. No hands.

- No. No. None.

- How is relationship
life for you?

- It was an adjustment
for sure,

and it happened
super organically.

And that's a big credit
to Taylor

because she refused to give me

a reason to run away,
which--usually, I run away.

- And how long has it been
since you haven't run away?

- About a year.
- Wow.

- Fathers of daughters are
rejoicing all over the world.

[laughter]

High-fiving in the streets.
- That's funny.

- Pringle, any advice for Shep?

- Don't take her for granted.
- Aww.

- I try not to.
- That's good advice.

- Andy, It's crazy.

Like, I never thought
that Shep was gonna meet a girl

that let him be Shep,
but she loves the fact

that he has, like, a plumber's
crack half the damn time.

- I just need to get rid
of my trouble area.

- I like your trouble area.

- Too bad. It's gone.
- It's cute.

[both laugh]
- Stop.

- She loves all of his--

- Foibles.
both: Yes.

- It's outrageous.
- And I've noticed, like, Shep

is, like, significantly
more calm and just kind

and, like, you're
a good listener now

like, when we go out

and, like, have lunch
and stuff.

Like, I just feel like
you've overall become,

like, such a more nurturing
type person or something.

- I appreciate that. Thank you.

- Honestly, he's matured
since we were together.

And when I see them on camera,
I'm like, aww, he's attentive.

Like, he wants to please her
and let her know.

- Shep, are you
a generous lover?

- Yeah--you mean in the bed?

- Yeah.
- Yeah. I'd like to think so.

- I think all men
would like to think so.

- What sets Taylor apart
from the others?

- I just know
she's a good person

and I see it day after day

with every encounter
that she has,

and that's--
that's a huge turn-on.

- Why am I getting emotional?

- I know. I'm like,
"Aww, Shep's growing up."

- Are you guys serious?
- Yeah. I'm like, what?

- I mean, I don't know.
That was really sweet.

- Oh, man.

- I'm sorry, what am I missing?
- It's just new.

It's just new to, like--

- I know. I know.
- To see Shep speak that way?

- It's new for Shep
to just say nice stuff.

- I know.
- It is.

- Shep, have you been
faithful to her?

- Well, it--
- [laughs]

- Madison's laughing.
- No.

- Just be truthful
on the stage. Just go.

- Listen, hey, you're the one
with the loose lips.

- Just ----ing be truthful.

- I don't have anything to say.
- Shep, get it the (BLEEP)

out there
and just be done with it.

- I mean, we've had
a few hiccups.

I mean, there was
some text messages and...

- Don't worry.

I won't slut-shame you
for that, okay?

- And you made out with a girl.

You made out with her.
- No.

I kissed a girl on a stairwell
and that's all it was.

- But I would break up
with you.

I would break up with you.
- Okay. Cool.

I would hope that you would
because I don't wanna date you.

[laughter]

But so, yeah,
it was an old flame,

and we were texting like,
"Ooh, tomorrow night,"

and nothing ever came of it.

It was a moment of weakness,

I was drinking,
but that's all it was

and I'll go to my grave
knowing that that's true.

- But then what happened
from that,

Shep, is,
in my opinion, fantastic.

Because you took
an honest look at yourself

and you said, "Do I really
wanna be in a relationship

"or do I want to be
with this person

that I really,
really care for?"

- Y'all really
romanticize cheating.

- [sighs]
- No, no, no, no.

- I mean--
- I'm just saying--

- No, they're okay to do it,
but I can't do anything.

- I'm just saying at least
he was honest about it.

- Let's make that very clear.

- I guess that doesn't
make him trash.

- All right. Fine.
- You are right, though, Leva.

He did just romanticize it.
- No, I was there.

She goes,
"Look, I hate what happened,

"and it hurt me a lot.

"However, I'd like
to stay with you.

I'm in love with you.
You make me happy."

And I was like--and we cried
and it was, like, a big deal.

- Let me ask you this:

has Taylor been faithful
to you?

- Yeah. I think. I think.

- If she played
tonsil hockey in a stairwell

with an old flame, would you--

- I would be like, well,
let's talk about that.

You know what I mean?
I wouldn't fly off the handle

and I would wanna stay
with her.

- Good for you.
- No, no.

I don't wanna be exalted.

- Well, I mean,
I'm not exalting you.

I'm just saying, good for you.

- No.
[laughter]

- Madison, considering
some of the crap

Shep's put you
and Austen through,

is it hard not to take
a little pleasure

in his relationship drama?

- [sighs]
I mean, I'm honestly--

I'm here for his redemption
tour that we're on,

and I honestly need
your therapist's number,

but I think that at this point,
a good girl is

probably gonna be
exactly what you need.

- By the way, my therapist
knows all about you,

so maybe it'd be
a conflict of interest.

- Okay. Well, I'm glad
you're talking about me.

- That's a little weird.

[laughter]

- So what have you gotten
from therapy, by the way?

What have you learned
about yourself?

- My thing is,
are you happy today?

If you project in the future
with anybody,

you'll talk yourself
into this, that,

or talk yourself out of that.

- Right. It'll freak you out.
- Yeah.

And I'm just trying
not to do that.

I'm trying to be present,
and boy,

she makes me happy today,
and that's all I can say.

- Carlos from Brooklyn said
"Shep, how many times a week

would you say you black out
this year compared to last?"

[laughter]

- I mean, I will always
howl at the moon.

That's for damn sure.
- I know.

- But there was a darkness
at the end of last season.

- Can y'all's relationship
handle it?

Is this the final straw?
- It's not.

We're gonna be just fine.

- Well, what only doesn't
kill you makes you stronger.

- Yeah. I hope you find that.

- Oh, I'll find it.
With a big-ass grin on my face.

That was born of negativity.

I didn't--
I didn't have much going on,

and I was just like,
"Screw everyone.

"I'm happy. I'm partying.

I'm hooking up
with chicks and whatnot."

- The cans thing,
like, when that happened,

I texted you that night--
- Yeah.

- And I was like, bro.
- Yeah.

- And he was so defiant.
- Yeah. I was. I was defiant.

- So you posted something
on your Instagram Stories.

It looks like
you're kind of making fun

of a homeless person.

- Look at me. Nice cans.
- Go! No!

- I mean, the cans you have.
Cans.

- So when he posted that,

you called him
and you said what?

- I just reached out
and said, "Buddy,

I think
you should take that down."

And then I sent him
a documentary about the people

that do collect the cans
in New York, and it's--

- Uh-huh. Yeah.
- And he was defiant?

He brushed you off?

- He said, "Pringle,
all I care about is funny.

It's funny,
and that's all I care about."

- I was drunk.

I was drunk
when he sent that to me.

- You were sitting
next to Austen on the plane,

and you said
"(BLEEP) these people.

Like, this is funny,
and I don't care."

- I was in that bad headspace.
It wasn't funny.

- So what happened?

- I just, you know, heard
from people like Pringle,

and then sorta
the cold hard light of day hit,

and I was like, "Oh (BLEEP).

What have I done?
What have I done?"

- What did your family say?

- They were in Alaska, like,

touring the Denali forest,
and my dad--

I went out to meet them
in Alaska, and my dad was like,

"I've heard about some of your
problems you've been having."

And I just sort of broke down,
you know,

and I was like, "I'm so sorry.

"Like, I love you guys,
and you did not raise me"...

I mean, I'm not a guy who's,
"(BLEEP) you.

(BLEEP) your feelings."
That's just not who I am.

And I just got--
I lost my path. I lost my path.

- I think
Madison might disagree

with this line of conversation.

- Yeah.

And, look,
I felt bad about that.

I said some things,
but we're fine.

I think we're fine.

- There's no need for you to be
shaking and stuff.

I'm not coming for you.
- I hope--

- Like, relax.
- I'm not scared.

I'm not saying
I did the right thing,

and I apologize.

My hat's in my hand.

- Do you feel--
- I do.

- That he's
sufficiently apologized?

- Yes, and I accept
his apology.

- There's peace
in the Middle East over here.

- Look, I'm not gonna lie,
there is peace.

At the moment, there's peace.
- Yes.

- It's unbelievable.

You two are not
----ing friends.

- Austen...
- You're not ----ing friends.

- How do you know that?
- So quit acting like you are.

Both of you.
- Shut your Muppet mouth.

[dramatic music]

♪ ♪

- You two are not
----ing friends.

You're not ----ing friends.
- How do you know that?

- So quit acting like you are.

- Shut your Muppet mouth.
- Who's not friends?

- You hate each other.
- Austen--

- That is that.
- I don't hate him.

- I'm not asking
if they're friends--

- Well, he hates you.
I know that much.

- I'm asking if there's
peace between them.

- There is peace.
At the moment, there's peace.

- I've seen peace
between them.

- How could you be peaceful

with someone that treats
your friend so bad

and treated my girlfriend
that you love so bad?

- I'll tell you why.

Because Austen's gotta
----ing stand up for himself.

This is crazy.
At what point is he culpable?

- Yeah.
- At what point is he culpable?

It takes two to tango.

- I agree.
- And it's insane.

And I've got a little analogy.
Follow me for two seconds.

Why would Madison
let Austen go?

He's cheap labor?
You owned a restaurant.

Can you imagine if a manager
works for $2 an hour,

came in at time,

cleaned up, did everything
you asked 'em to do,

and you barely had
to pay 'em sh--?

- I wouldn't do that, but yeah.
- He's always available.

- I mean,
I understand your analogy.

- He's always available
at her beck and call.

It's cheap labor.
Why would you get rid of that?

And so at what point
is Austen culpable?

- It's sad 'cause it's true.

- How does that analogy
make you feel?

- Andy, I know. I ----ing know.

- I do think, Austen,
when you don't speak up,

it spills over
and she gets bullied.

- You can speak up for yourself
at any time, Austen.

- Yeah.

Look, buddy,
I'm gonna have my time.

- Okay. All right.
- And I know that.

- Okay, changing topics.

In seasons past,

Craig's career ambitions were
hanging on by a thread.

- Ooh.
- I mean, arguably...

and ironically,

this one is the one that
in seven seasons of the show

has used this platform

to make the biggest success
of himself.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- And he's now the pillow king.
I mean,

this has to be a little tough
for you to swallow.

You've been dogging
his ambition--

- For years.
- I don't think I have.

- Or lack thereof.
- Yes, you have.

- What?

- I support you
and your pillows.

- Shep, your entire existence
was trashing me.

- Look.
- That's cute.

- Who is this from?
- Craig.

- Craig embroidered it.
- Where is Craig?

- He's talking politics
with the refrigerator.

[laughter]

- Maybe you could be
a pillow litigator.

- Craig, honestly,
I don't give a sh--.

- He's not gonna retire
on old pillow money.

[laughter]

- You've been dogging him
for a long time,

and I just would like
to give you the opportunity

to eat the crow
that you need to right now--

- Sure.

- And you need to give him
some props.

- I am very, very happy
for you, Craig.

No, no, no--
- It's so hard.

- I want you to prosper
beyond your wildest dreams.

- Well, he is, so...
- Good. Good, good, good.

I want him to be
comfortable and happy.

- I don't think that's enough.
- It's so hard!

- "I want him
to be comfortable"?

- Andy, I'll say this.
Craig has come further

than all of us,
and I don't even deny that.

I mean, from A to B, it's just
amazing the route he's taken.

- What's the latest with the
success of Sewing Down South?

- We were very fortunate.

We were able to survive.

I know a lot of people weren't,

but we did 1/4 million
in November in sales.

We just had our first order
placed for 30,000 pillows, so--

- I can't even imagine.
- That's amazing.

- We don't even know
we can fill it.

They're our first
million-dollar order.

- Can I borrow money?
- Yeah.

- Rumor has it you plan to open

a brick-and-mortar place
in Charleston.

Is that the plan?

- Yeah, right next
to Leva's restaurant.

- Good old King Street.

- That's great.
- Yeah. Our first place.

- Are you gonna sell
more than pillows?

- Yes.
So it'll be our testing site

to be, like, all of
the products that I wanna do

that my partner--
- What else do you wanna do?

- I wanna do, like,
kitchen stuff.

- Have you thought about doing
a Craig body pillow?

People can--
ladies can snuggle with you.

- Oh, I heard about that.

- I think Pringle has
a great idea here.

- I kinda think
that's a great idea.

- You'd sell out of that sh--
fast, bro.

- Like, your face on it?
- Yeah, that's shaped like you.

[overlapping chatter]

- Like a blowup doll.
- Yeah.

- Ms. Patricia had some
salty things to say

while she was
watching you on HSN.

- You and Craig were having
kind of like

a home shopping standoff.

- I'll have pillows in my mind,

but they're totally different
than Craig's.

My pillows are unique
and in the luxury category.

Craig's pillows are affordable.

[laughs]

- Surprise, surprise,
right, Craig?

- What was your reaction
to that?

- I was bummed, you know?
I was just disappointed.

Her pillows, they're sold
for $20 on the Internet.

Our pillows are $58.

HSN has purchased
two more collections from us.

And she's a failure
of a company

and I would never say
that stuff.

- Don't say that
because I don't believe that.

- She is. Don't poke me.

Like, I will ----ing root
for you all you want,

but her talking sh--,
it was blatant lies.

- Hey, I wanna hear you say
that to her face.

- Don't stoop to her level.

I wanna hear you say that.
- I will.

- No, you will not.

- Don't stoop.
Don't even stoop.

- That's disrespectful
and rude.

- Madison, I only speak
the truth.

- You don't need
to get that dirty.

- You're nasty.
- No, no, no, no.

Today is about truth.
- Oh, okay.

- And the truth only hurts
one person on this stage.

You.
Maybe a little bit Shep.

- But, like, low-key,
it's kind of, like, weird

for an older person to be
throwing shade at someone

who's succeeding that's younger
coming up.

I mean, he's had a hard time.
Like--

- Also, it tells you--like,
how can we ever take anything

she said about Austen's company
serious now?

We just did $1/4 million
in sales in a month

and she's trashing my company.

She's trashing Austen,

and his beer is
in grocery stores.

- All right.

I think this is a great spot
to take a break.

We'll be right back.
Coming up...

Leva, what's your relationship
with Cameron like these days?

- I haven't really
honestly heard from her.

- And I also wanna clear
this up,

she made the decision
not to return to this show

before anything happened with
rumors and anything like that.

- Oh, yeah, I hate that.
I hate that.

- We are back with the gang
of "Southern Charm."

Leva, for years we saw you make
cameos on "Southern Charm."

You were great friends
with Cameran.

What made you decide
to officially join the show?

- I think I was sort of busy
building things.

Now I kinda have my baby
and my businesses and my boo

and so I was like,
whatever, let's do it.

- What's been the best part
of the experience?

- Getting to know
everybody a bit better.

Even though Kathryn and I
had a lot of ups and downs,

I got to know her and there's
wonderful parts of her.

I've gotten to know
the guys a lot more.

And of course, like,
we don't always get along,

but they all have good hearts

and they're all
really good people,

and I enjoy them in doses.

[laughter]

- What's been the worst part?

- There were parts
of this season

where I felt
like nobody was hearing me

when I was just trying
to be clear.

And that's
a really sh---y feeling

when you're really not
trying to be abrasive,

but everyone just seems like
you're knocking on a door

and nobody's home.

- Francois from Kansas City,
Missouri, said,

"Leva's a total HBIC
down in Charleston

so surely she's had
everybody here as customers."

Spill some of that
late night tea.

- You probably do know
all the scoop.

- I mean,
I do have all the tea.

- Oh, sh--.
- There's only one person

that's been
kicked out of your bars.

[laughter]

- Shep's been ushered--
- Politely asked to leave.

- He's always polite
about leaving.

- Yeah.

- He actually usually has a
really long-winded explanation

about what went down.
- You're tapped.

- It's a great way
to leave a bar, you know?

There's, like, a finality
to it.

- Madison and I can
usually hold our own.

- Yeah, Madison's always been
a good customer.

- Thomas has gotten
in a lot of trouble.

- Thomas has always been
a very good customer.

- It's okay.

- With Thomas,
the first night that we had

any type
of romantic connection--

love connection--
we were at Republic.

- Yeah. She was so green.
Like, a baby.

- How young?
all: 21.

- Yeah.
And I said to Lamar,

I was like, "Watch her,

'cause I think she's, like,
with a lot of older guys."

- He let her get pregnant
by a 52-year-old.

- Well, I mean--
- He didn't do a good job.

- Obviously Lamar didn't,
you know, get her home, but--

- Kathryn, do you
remember Lamar kind of

watching over you that night?

- I honestly don't
remember much.

- What are other firsts

that happened at Republic
with this group?

- I kissed Kathryn at Republic.
- Oh. Wait, hold on.

- And there's still--there's
lipstick on the shirt I wore

on the flight yesterday.
- He's wearing the shirt.

- No. That's not the shirt.
- It won't come out.

- Well, that must've been
a good lipstick.

- I was like a caged lion

who had been released in
Charleston there for a while.

- Still are. Still are.
- Yeah, you still are, pal.

- I was a bit wild.

- But yeah,
I've seen all these guys

in the dark, but, no,
I won't spill the tea.

That's an industry thing.
They are all protected.

- Leva, at the beginning
of the season,

you talked about feeling
like an outsider in Charleston

because of both
your Persian descent

and being married
to a Black man.

Is that still an ongoing
struggle for you?

- I think interracial couples
is a lot more common

than it was maybe like, 10,

15 years ago
in Charleston for sure.

- I think Charleston's
pretty progressive, honestly.

Compared to a lot
of the other--

- For a Southern city,
it's progressive.

- Have you ever experience
being treated differently

because of you two?
- Yeah.

- You have in Charleston?
- Yeah. Yeah. 100%.

- What happened?
- Three years ago

when I got in an accident,

I hit somebody and he came out
and the first thing he said is,

"Are you illegal?"

- What?
- Who?

- Yeah. Just a gentleman.
He came out of a car.

I was in my Range Rover,
and he said, "Are you illegal?"

And I said, "I don't understand
your question."

- Where is this asshole?
- And then he said,

"Well, is this even your car?"

- Jesus.
- Oh, my gosh.

- And I said
"Yes, this is my car."

And then he was like,

"Well, let me see your license
and see that you're legal."

That's just a few years ago,
and it's not just that.

I remember I was buying a piece
of property in Charleston

and one certain man said,

you know, "You know nothing
about anything

and I don't want
your Yankee money."

You know, 'cause I was
schooling him on a deal.

Like, I--paying cash
and he was like,

"I don't want your Yankee cash,

and, like, people like you need
to get out of our city."

So, yeah, I mean,
you hear that,

but it's not
amongst this group.

- We got a lot of tweets
about Little.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

"Is Leva's kid's name
really Little?"

"Is Little a nickname
or a family name?"

- So his name is
Lamar Alfred Bonaparte III.

- Okay.

- So, you know, typically
you would call

a third in the South,
you know, Trip or Tre.

- Tre.
- Those didn't stick to me,

and when we got home
from the hospital,

Lamar was like, "I'm big Lamar,
and you're little Lamar."

And he would say that every day
on the change table

and it stuck mostly
because he's really big.

So it was just funny.
- I like Alfred.

- Yeah, I like Alfred too.
- Alfred would be cool.

- Her child and Madison's child
will be in magazines.

- All right, asshole,
what about me?

- Kensie!
- And Kathryn's kid, sorry.

- I'm just kidding.

- Well, one thing that's hard
to miss this season

is that some of the female
cast members are missing.

Leva, what's your relationship
with Cameran like these days?

- It's not
really there anymore,

I mean, to be honest.

I--
- You were great friends.

- We were very,
very close friends,

but I haven't really
honestly heard from her

since I started
filming, really.

So--there's no bad blood.
It just--

- Well, it doesn't sound good.

Do you think she's upset
that you joined the--

- I don't know.
I mean, I assumed

she just didn't want to know
anything about the show

or hear about it.

- I think she's upset
she didn't do it.

She loved this.
She loved doing this.

She did. She loved it.

- She always offered to come
back and film several times

and, like, probably up until,
like, this month I'm sure.

- And she hates that she didn't
do it, in my opinion, and--

- I don't think so, Craig.
I don't think so.

- She cut us off.
- She's literally been given it

on a plate to clear it up.
- I'm in touch with her.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm in touch
with her. I talk to her.

- You don't think that she
regrets not doing the show?

- No, I don't. I don't.

- I do.
- I don't know, man.

She's got
a nice little situation.

- Do you talk to her about it?
- Yeah.

- And what does she say?
- She liked being

a part of the group,
and I think she just bowed out.

I can't tell you
exactly why, but--

- So you still talk to her,
but you don't, Craig?

- It stinks.

We've talked once
in the last three months

and it was a, "I love you

and I hate that we can't
talk anymore" type of vibe.

And it sucks.
- Why can't you talk?

- And why can't you
talk anymore?

- I don't know.

I mean, we used to talk
every day.

- Cameran likes control
of her life--

- Yeah.
- And I think the show was

kind of an outlier.

- Yeah. I agree with that.
- And over time she just--

I think she does regret
not being part of it, but--

- But I think that she wanted
to keep her life private.

- And I also wanna clear
this up.

She made the decision
not to return to this show

before anything happened with
rumors and anything like that.

- Oh, yeah. I hate that.
I hate that.

- So I heard that Jason was
having an affair.

- That's absurd.
- Craig--

- Kathryn, I know
that's not true.

- So I wanna clear that up.
- Kathryn is correct.

- Now she ----ing hates me
and has FOMO.

So, great. 'Cause I said it.
Oops. My bad.

Sorry you didn't get
on the show this year.

You've been talking sh--
about me for six.

My bad for that.

- All right.
Let's put a pin in that.

We'll be right back.
- Whatever.

- Coming up...

- You're not gonna sit here
and distort my narrative

and slander me anymore,
girlfriend.

- Tell me what I've said.
I've slandered you?

You slandered yourself.
- Eh, eh, eh, eh.

You hadn't seen this bitch
in a while.

I'm back. Okay?

- We are back with
the "Southern Charm" Reunion.

One of the biggest bombshells
of the season

dropped before cameras
even started rolling.

After six seasons,

OG cast member Cameran
decided not to return,

and there are still
a lot of questions about that.

So talk to me
about the rumor, Kathryn.

Why did you bring it up?

- Okay, so first of all,
I did not make up this rumor.

I had a folder that I kinda
forgot to bring out here,

and I don't ever do receipts,
but I did print off

all the messages just to prove

that I didn't sit at home,
twiddle my thumbs,

and come up with a rumor about
a girl that I'm so jealous of.

"She has everything I want."
No. Cameran has nothing I want.

She has been an inauthentic,
fake person to me,

used me when it was
to her benefit.

Also, Craig,
you had heard this rumor.

Shep, also I feel
like you heard it too.

Someone told me
that they overheard you

at a bar a year ago
talking about this.

- I will say that even though
I know there's no truth

to this Cameran rumor at all,

Kathryn did not
make up the rumor.

- And I brought it up to you

because you're friends
with Cameron.

I'm not. I thought I was
just talking to you about it.

- Let me ask you this,
did she not join the show

because you brought it up
on the show--

- No.
- No. That's not correct.

- And you already
brought it up?

- Well, no,
what actually happened was,

in the 11th hour,

cameras were showing up
the next day,

I called Cam

and we called Shep
and said we're doing this.

We celebrated,
and we were all in.

The next day,
we showed up to film,

and I got a call from Cameran
and said,

"You're gonna hate me.
I'm not doing it this year."

And that was the last thing
I heard from here.

So that's
what actually happened.

- And nobody knows.
I don't know either.

- And you don't know?
Have you asked her, Shep?

- I stay out of it.

When she's like,
"Oh, I'm struggling,"

I'm not gonna try to talk you
into something.

That's--
- Wouldn't you assume

that it was the rumor--

- No, I heard that the rumor
had been going around.

- So, Leva, do you believe it?
- No.

- Yeah, I don't think--
- I don't believe it either.

Jason's not that guy.
- And who even cares anymore?

It's not even about that.

- Can I be clear?
- You acted like she kind of--

- Well, because it was
on national television.

You made something up.

You were going after my friend.
That's a ----ing joke.

It's a mockery.
Like, it's some bullsh--.

- Can I be clear?

- Yeah.
- Everybody on this couch

has fake rumors about them.

So I was just shocked that,
like, we took it seriously.

Like, I hear sh--
about everybody

and I don't ever talk about it.

I'm sure they hear sh--
about me.

Sorry, Kathryn,
this is not a dig to you.

- I don't think that any of us
can sit here and say

that we hear stuff and we don't
ever talk about it.

That's bullsh--.

- Well, I don't talk
about rumors about you.

- Because we haven't
seen it yet?

You've been on here one season
and we haven't seen it yet.

- I'm saying I don't repeat
fake rumors about you,

him, him, her, him, her, him.

If I have a problem with you,
I have always kept it real.

If I have a problem

with any of you ----ers,
I keep it real.

I don't talk sh-- about you
behind your back.

- You say that sh--.
You say that sh--,

but then I see the episodes,
and the things

that you have said about me
are very hurtful.

- Well, tell me
and I'll apologize

because I didn't wanna say
anything hurtful to you.

But I felt like every time
I talked to you--

- You made of fun of the things
that I said.

You made fun of my voice.

- I can't even begin
to understand how you can say--

[mimics Kathryn]
"I just didn't know."

And, like,
with your baby voice.

"I just didn't know and I--"

- [exaggerated baby voice]
I'm a kitten up in a tree.

- You're right. That was low.

- Like, why are you doing that?
- That was low. That was low.

I agree, and I apologize.
I shouldn't have said that.

- Yeah. Sorry.
Shouldn't jump in on that.

I just changed subjects.
But damn.

- But I'm just saying
everything that I have felt,

did I not tell you clearly?

- No. Clearly not.

- What?
- 'Cause you--

- I made fun of your voice.

- You made it out
to all my friends

like I'm a bad person
who manipulates my friends.

- Who did I say that to?

She's treating you
like a doormat.

- But she doesn't know
how to be a good friend.

- Wake up.
Like, this is not healthy.

- Did I tell you
she manipulates you?

- What, do I have to use
the correct word?

I don't know if it was
the word "manipulate."

You took advantage of Danni
who is a kind person.

- Stop being a ----ing victim.
I was trying--

- I'm not a ----ing victim.

- You need to shut up with that
right ----ing now.

- I was trying to fix it.

- I'm sick of you
calling me a victim.

That's putting you
as the ----ing victim--

- You should be so lucky
I gave a sh--.

- I'm over it.
- What victim am I?

- What the (BLEEP)?

- All I did was point out--
- We'll get to this next.

We'll get to you and me, girl.
We'll get to you and me.

- That what you said had
an internal ----ing bias.

I have a right
to tell you that.

- That is not
what I'm referencing.

You're not gonna sit here
and distort my narrative

and slander me
anymore, girlfriend.

- Tell me what I've said.
I've slandered you?

You slandered yourself.
- Eh, eh, eh, eh.

You hadn't seen this bitch
in a while.

I'm back. Okay?

[dramatic music]

- Next week, part two of
the "Southern Charm" reunion.

- Andy, I have to pee so bad.

- All right, go pee quick.

- Okay.
- I'll pee too.

- Can I go?
- Well--

- I'll pee.
- We had a couple drinks.

- Sorry. I'm sorry.
- Wait a minute.

We're not done.

- I had the complete
mommy makeover.

- Austen, how does it look?

- He hasn't seen it.
- That's not true.

- I saw a text.

You said, "I don't wanna see
my ----ing belly.

Just put it in."

[laughter]

- I wish that Austen could not
pop off like a crazy person.

- Leva, don't be angry.
- Hold up.

Do I always have to be
interrupted by you?

- You talk about how much
you miss your kids,

so why the (BLEEP)
did you leave?

- Come at me about my kids
and I will wake the (BLEEP) up.

- (BLEEP) you.

I've been nothing
but nice to you.

I would hate for that
to change.

- Ooh.
- Is that a threat?

- I am ----ing done

with this human.

I can't even look at you.

- You're a great actor.

- You are a ----ing monster.

- You have had fun
with this whole--

- I've had fun?

Do you know
how many death threats

I get on the internet
every day?

- Please listen to me.
No. I can speak now.
