“Southern Charm” star Craig Conover is not mincing his words about his castmate, Austen Kroll.
Reality Blurb reported that Conover filmed the July 2 episode of his girlfriend, “Summer House” star Paige DeSorbo’s Amazon show, “In Bed with Paige DeSorbo.” During her sit-down with Conover, DeSorbo encouraged her boyfriend to share, “What Bravolebrity annoys [him] the most.” Conover initially hesitated before revealing that he finds Kroll annoying.
“But I love him,” continued Conover.
DeSorbo then jokingly stated, “Yeah, but he’s annoying.”
DeSorbo also requested Conover to pick a “Southern Charm” star to trade places with her on “Summer House.” He replied, “It would be nice to go a season [of ‘Southern Charm’] without Shep [Rose].” DeSorbo interjected that she believed Rose would fit in with the “Summer House” cast.
“I think he would thrive at the ‘Summer House,'” said the “Giggly Squad” podcast host.
