Previously on Southern Charm.

These long messages are from--

- JT. - JT.

As one romance was brewing, another was ending.

We were in love.

Will you admit that?

I dunno if we were in love.

But we were like ticking to the top of a rollercoaster.

We weren't even in a relationship.

Meanwhile, Craig and Austen

had a much-needed heart to heart.

I just want you to loosen the reins a little bit.

I can't.

That's any addict.

The word addict was never used with me.

I wasn't in a great spot, dude.

I'm sorry it affected like our time together,

but that was so I could get better.

Look at these two.

I wish this is what happened with Sienna.

I love you.

You too, dude.

Son of a bitch.

Zoe, help me unpack.

I'm sure you'll be really helpful

with your opposable thumbs.

And what the heck?

They just tossed it around like it's nothing, like my gosh.

Be gentle with my suitcase, please, Bahamas.

- Goddamn it, are you - ing kidding me?

Tyler. - What?

I just found a $500 poker chip.

A $500 poker chip?

Can we mail that into the casino?

Maybe I'll call Sienna.

- Oh man. - I missed you.

Yeah, I get it.

I'm kind of hungry, though.

Want to have breakfast

- Want to kook for me? - and I have breakfast,

I mean you should make us breakfast.

Man, we slept late.

I knew you were gonna do that.

Where shall I sit today?

I feel like I want you up here on the counter.

- Okay. - Should we open the door?

Yeah, oh yeah, that's nice.

What's happening over there?

My housekeeper's just messed up the burners.

Wow, that looks so----ing good.

God, that bacon smells good.

So what else happened on the trip?

Oh, where to start?

I mean, like there is me and Austen's breakthrough.

I was like, let's really try to figure out

what the issue is, and he's like.

I think, Craig, man, if we're being honest,

like I feel where all the disconnect has come was

that you've created this wonderful image for yourself.

He basically, which is insane,

was like you're getting sober to keep up an image

is what Austen has believed the last year,

and so I finally was like, no,

I'm getting sober 'cause I'm an addict,

and the day after this talk,

like Austen was very good about being like,

hey, can I get you like a soda water or any,

like something just like clicked for him,

but I just can't believe we got to that point.

No, it's so----ing weird.

If one of my friends was like, hey, I am trying to not drink

for like a couple months, I'd be like sick.

I cried when I said addict, though.

Like you feel like paper thin.

- Yeah. - Like you feel powerful

and like cold. - Like you feel

like there's something wrong with you.

Yeah, like I just had never really,

like other than talking to you and my parents,

had never said it to anyone.

To anyone.

I come from a family of alcoholics

and alcoholism and stuff.

So like when someone stops drinking around me,

like I know what the reason is.

Apparently Austen just didn't, but also,

I didn't really talk about it,

'cause I don't want people to know about it.

Like I think it makes people uncomfortable.

It was a huge step making us whole again.

Because he acted the way a friend should.

Yeah.

- Hey. - Hi.

You caught me at a great time.

About to open-- - Open a bevy?

- Yeah, hey. - What's up?

What's up.

Warm, okay.

It's hot.

We're working with what we got.

Nothing like a warm rose.

What do you like want?

Nice little twist off.

Welcome, sh--, get a drink, cheers.

Let's go sit.

So what's new?

So much, I guess.

How was the trip?

The trip was good.

Like Craig and I talked.

On the last night, he opened up to me

about his struggles with addiction.

I was like,---- me, like trying not to be an alcoholic

is now affecting my friendship with Austen,

and that's where I was coming from, you know?

I should have told you.

I----ing wish he would've, man.

I guess I should have like known that and seen that,

'cause I knew that he was like addicted to Adderall.

Yeah, well sometimes, you need the other person

to say what's happening for you to understand.

I agree, you know, and I told him, I was like, ah.

I just think of like a person that has a problem as someone

who like you wake up in the morning and pound like a bottle

like a jack, you know?

- Yeah. - Or you, you know, do this,

and that's my fault for not, you know,

- Comes in all forms. - realizing all that.

I do appreciate Craig's finally being honest with me.

For him to tell me something real and raw tells me

that he trusts me again.

I just want to kind of relish in this moment.

It was like a-- - Eye-opening?

Yeah, and then we both were teary-eyed.

- Tearing up? - Yeah, oh yeah,

we both were teary-eyed.

So you're like, we closed the chapter on this topic.

There's no really need to bring up these other things.

Unless I see a type of behavior,

- Behavior. - you know, towards me,

and then I'll be like, hey man, love you.

Glad that you know, we're open and like an honest

with each other, but now that, you know,

we had this other talk, like why are you this way, you know,

to me, this other thing that's bothering me?

But I don't plan on like pulling him aside and doing it.

So it was like a great moment.

We told each other that, you know, we loved each other

and it was nice, and for the first time in a long time,

I was like, I'm feeling like a, you know, best friend,

you know, connection with Craig.

Do you think that he felt the same?

It's what he said, you know?

Sweet.

You know, sometimes, I think me getting better holds a

mirror up to Austen,

and it makes him extremely uncomfortable,

and that's why I don't hang with him all the time,

and like, I don't know.

Well, look, because also,

I feel like the generation we grew up in,

like hearing the words like drug addict

and like alcoholic meant like,

you drank every single day, - You drink in the morning.

all day.

You were like beating your wife up.

Like it was very, I feel like, taught to us

in an extreme way, and now that we're adults,

it's can take so many forms.

Like for you, like you weren't waking up

and being like I gotta have a shot

or like my body's gonna freak out,

but when you were drinking,

your personality was way different than

what your normal personality is.

- Why are you yell at me? - No,

because you're yelling at me.

You're the only one yelling, relax.

Craig, there is glass there, there,

and all over here. - You're the worst.

You're the biggest devil.

What is your problem right now?

He'll say sorry tomorrow.

So just let it go.

No, a----ing big ass diva.

It was cyclical.

I would be good for a few months

and then I would go too far,

- Don't I know it, honey. - and I know.

I got to my bottom when I could just see it on Paige's face,

just like this look of like I wasn't the guy

that she had seen herself marrying,

and so Paige was pretty much done.

I bit my tongue so many times,

because like it truly is a personal journey.

Well, I got really lucky that you were still there

when I made that decision to ask for help,

and you were there and ready.

It wasn't until almost losing Paige for me

to change my behaviors.

Paige was my rock.

Yeah, you can never like change your drinking for someone.

You do it for yourself, but like she's the first thing

in my like app.

Like why, you know, if you forget your why.

Like it just says Paige.

Well, I'm very proud of you for like your self-awareness

in the past like year has been drastically different.

Well, I'll always be grateful I didn't lose you

when I hit my bottom, and I don't plan on going back there.

Yeah, but just know if I ever need to leave in the middle

of the night with the kids, I will.

I know, that's 'cause you make your own money.

Coming up.

Ryan uses the same barber as you.

That barber told him that you said.

This is absolutely bullsh--.

Hey, not in the house.

Boys, this thing is so hard.

Mom.

I'm coming.

Thank you. - Rose?

Yeah.

- Being together. - That's right.

You wanna carry that, and we go and sit in here?

Oh, don't you love this room?

I love it.

It looks so good.

You did great.

I'm so happy to be home.

Did you have fun?

I did.

What'd you miss?

I missed y'all.

Yeah.

Hey, hold on.

Time out.

All right, wait, wait.

No, hold on.

We're gonna play.

We're gonna play a game, all right?

No, wait, we're gonna play a game.

I mean, I've noticed, you know, I'm dealing

with like the smart mouth thing

and not trying to like.

Well, you know where he got that from?

I have no idea.

At one time when you went in that restaurant

and I couldn't find you, you were six,

and we finally found you.

You had ordered your three course meal by yourself.

My daddy used to say, "Don't kill her spirit,

"just let her be what she is."

I'm like still trying to tame this spirit all the time.

I'm like, shh, girl.

Me too, and I'm old.

But well, I have some good news.

What's that?

So Brett's test came back, and no cancer.

- Oh my gosh. - I know.

Isn't that great?

They did a scan of a spot on my kidney.

- Cancer? - I mean, they don't know.

It was just like an abnormal tissue.

So now they're gonna run the test

and make sure everything's working properly,

and the kidneys are doing good, but like what a relief.

- I know. - I mean.

I wondered, 'cause you hadn't told me,

but you hadn't been home.

Well, yeah, we just found out.

I feel like I definitely been holding my breath so long

that I don't know how to breathe.

I feel like once you experience something like this,

you're always gonna have worry, but at this moment,

I just have to be thankful that now we can just move on

with our happily ever after life.

I know he's so relieved.

Oh yeah, because I know he wants to have a baby,

and he's kind of ready.

Yeah, I mean, I think that literally in the same breath,

he said, "Everything's negative, now we're ready."

I was like, "Okay."

I mean, I just have this feeling

that like we're gonna blink,

and we're gonna have like four kids,

because if I don't have a girl,

we're gonna have to just keep trying.

Okay, is that what we're gonna do,

keep going - well, I'm gonna

- until we get a girl? - need a bigger house.

And Hudson, he'll love it too.

He'll be a good little brother, a big brother.

He's probably gonna hate it until it actually is

in his hands, and then I think he'll.

What if you had twins?

Hell no.

I don't know if my body could expand that far.

You have worked hard for that body.

It wasn't just given to you.

Like you worked for that. - Well I'm like 50-50 manmade.

You know what I'm saying?

Ooh Charles, did you almost get eaten by a beetle?

Look at that puppy.

You can't play.

Charles, he's big.

Can you slow down, please?

It's not a race.

Hello, hello.

Hi, how you doing?

I'm doing okay.

I mean, you know same old sh--,

like nothing special.

I was calling you because I just got an invite to Madison

and Ryan's summer soiree whatever event.

I cannot pronounce that word.

Before everybody starts leaving town for the summer,

I think we should throw something,

and if you're down to throw it together, do like black tie.

I'd be honored.

And I wanted to know if you'd be my plus one

to that event.

Yeah, yeah, I'm assuming as much.

Madison just sent me the text.

So I haven't even had a chance to like ask her

who was all gonna be there,

but her and I talked about if her and Ryan were doing this

that I would like bring you as my plus one

if there was some like weird feelings,

and she was like, "No, we're gonna invite him.

"So it's not a big deal."

But I still want you and I to go together.

JT can be so wishy-washy.

Like in The Bahamas, he was like,

"If I wasn't dating this girl, it'd be you,

"and that's who I wanna be with."

Wait, wait, these long messages are from--

JT.

So and it just puts me in this head space of like,

oh, like maybe there is a possibility for a shot

between him and I.

Like maybe we can do the thing.

Yeah, you sound real agitated right now.

- What you said flamed us. - No, I didn't say

what you said.

You are the piece of sh-- on my shoe, JT.

I was gonna say, that's valid, yeah,

but like what about for me?

Yeah, okay.

Coming up.

I'm not like in love with Shep or anything,

but everybody's like, ooh, you should go for Shep,

and I kind of feel like I'm like in middle school,

and people are like, here's your chance.

Come here.

Come on, baby.

- Hi. - Hi, how's it going?

Cute.

I'll wait for my friend,

and then maybe we'll do two of those.

You're such a good girl, Zoe.

Come here.

- There she is. - Hi.

- Hello, how are you? - Good.

You look very cute,

- Thank you. - very summery.

You look cute.

They do pup cups here.

Oh my god.

Either whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Oh, whipped cream for her,

'cause she has a sensitive stomach.

Sensitive?

I'll do the vanilla ice cream.

Vanilla?

I'm gonna get some gelato and a latte.

Okay, girl.

I'll do like an ice latte and oh.

Oh my god, cute.

All right, cheers. - All right, wait,

cheers, Zoe. - Come here.

- Zoe. - Here, let's get it out here

- Yeah, over here. - so we don't make a mess.

I know, Zoe, I know.

Oh, Penny, the reward before the walk.

She's so happy.

I'm like, I'm gonna have to hold it for her.

Thank you so much.

Salted caramel anything is like my favorite.

Yay, thank you.

Alrighty, off we go to the wild blue.

Let's do it.

No, but you haven't been to the fountain yet.

Okay, let's go.

Run, run, run, run, run.

I love Molly, and in the Bahamas,

our friendship just grew a little bit deeper.

Oh God, I'm getting this stuff all over me.

Zoe, I just got ice cream on Zoe.

Oh my----ing God, stop, stop, stop.

And because we were so close,

I was able to mend relationships with these women.

So I'm in a very happy place.

When a man is in the water swimming like this.

Oh my God, the ick,

when he's like.

- Oh god, there's gonna be - Looking like a little dog.

so much footage of Shep today.

Kicking.

It's like, where do you think you're going?

- Okay, wait, this is not. - You're not going anywhere.

I immediately regret this decision.

Let me take one more bite.

I'm throwing this way.

Well, look at that water and the ocean breeze.

- I know, thank God. - Much needed.

So have you recovered from Bahamas yet?

Yeah, well, I've just been sleeping really late.

I slept through my therapy.

- Oh gosh. - As if like it's

like I'm jet lagged, but.

Yes, right now, you're like, okay, I'm gonna make up for.

- Yeah. - Honey, I know it's hot.

You wanna sit for a little bit in the shade

- Yeah, yeah, I can tell - give the dog's a rest?

she's like, she's trying to get under.

Yeah, let's give them a little resty poo.

Wow, it's really high tide today.

Shep was probably crying in the ocean about Sienna,

but oh my god.

He added a lot of water back into that ocean,

some salty water. - Yeah, literally.

Oh my god, the water went up by five feet.

Yeah.

Usually I get what I want and yada yada.

I'm a spoil brat.

So the thing with Sienna hurt,

but I'm trying to let the heart win these days.

So I'm ready to explore a serious thing

and potentially go all the way with the right person.

It's taken me a long time to be in that head space.

Hello.

Dad, what's up?

Good, good, well, I just got back from Cuba.

We are off to go catch some carp and permit, bones,

all of it.

It was a pretty amazing trip, man.

It was exactly what I needed, I suppose.

Oh, well, I sorta had a feeling

of like a lame duck president or something like,

or I didn't know what was coming,

but I knew something was amiss, and then it just got worse.

Looking back, I think it's good.

I think it's good to get your heart broken.

I think it's like, it's what life's all about.

It's all these bumps and bruises and all these things,

and it's your story.

It's your tapestry, and I'm gonna look back fondly at this,

I know, but at the moment, it's not so nostalgic.

Give it time.

Yeah, here we go on to the next chapter, you know?

I don't know the whole Shep and Sienna thing,

like I'm not like in love with Shep or anything,

but everybody's like, ooh, you should go for Shep,

and I kind of feel like I'm like in middle school,

and people are like, oh, here's your chance.

- I like those little peanuts. - Do I think his tongue

would taste like sandpaper?

It just seemed a little forced.

Yeah, and I was like floating by myself drinking a beer,

and I was just like.

I mean, I started my period that day.

So I could have cried about literally anything,

but yeah, I mean, it just, it's embarrassing,

not like, 'cause Shep's done anything

to make me feel stupid.

It's really everyone else in the group trying

to be weird about everything.

People put pressure on you,

then you start putting pressure on yourself,

Yeah, and it was like, I'm not,

and that's when it's like.

and I'm not trying to like, come on,

I've obviously seen Shep date people, you know.

I'm not like putting my eggs in that basket.

He dates like the old timey way where

like he wants to like date around.

Also I'm like a decade too old for him probably but.

Shep and Molly are both kind of quirky and weird,

and they have like a bunch of same values other

than the fact that Molly probably doesn't cheat on people,

but I just want her to maybe get out there, have some fun.

Maybe Shep is good practice.

He's good practice getting back into the dating pool.

Like meet someone organically.

Let it find you.

---- all these men in Charleston, not literally,

Not literally, figuratively.

and I'll just have my three cats and my dog.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Coming up.

You don't have that like, oh my god, shoot.

Like do I have to get married yet?

Like yeah. - Yeah.

And honestly, I like that she lives like in Charlotte.

Preaching to the choir, honey.

I'm gonna be part of the itty-bitty titty club.

I saw a girl on TikTok weigh her boobs the other day.

She weighed her implant, and it was only one pound.

So I think it's one pound, one pound.

Oh you'll lose weight.

I'll be in the 120s.

Just the thought of like getting these out

and like I'm just so excited about it now,

and it's turning into like more of a positive

than like a negative thing.

I know, mom, I made a mistake.

Yeah, but who hasn't made a mistake?

I used to think I need to do this and this

and this to get a husband.

I got them when I was with my ex-fiancee.

I thought that's what he liked.

As soon as I got 'em, I loved them,

loved everything about them.

Then I just kind of got tired of them,

and they just didn't fit me anymore.

I think between your early twenties and when you're 30,

you're just a totally different person sometimes.

Yeah.

I always thought I'd be married by like 24, 23, 24,

but I've realized that, I don't know,

I feel like I'm rushing life, and I don't need to.

I just need to slow down, and when it happens, it'll happen.

You've got to not beat yourself up about mistakes.

Getting my boobs in.

Well, that and other things you say you can't,

you forgive yourself and don't look back.

Just don't beat yourself up.

Well, guess what, I'm at 29 and by the time I'm 30,

I'll be, what do they say?

30, flirty, and thriving.

Ready? - Hey, yeah.

Bring your notepad.

I know.

I always come prepared.

Hi.

- How are you? - Good, how are you?

- Welcome in. - Thank you.

You can come back with me.

I'm gonna go grab Dr. O'Neil so we can get started.

Hi, how are you?

I'm good.

How are you? - Good, I'm Dr. O'Neil.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

This is my mom. - I'm Charlotte.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Thanks for coming in.

So just looking at your history,

when was your implant surgery?

What did we say,

February 3rd, 2022. - February, 2022.

What are your goals?

What do you want to achieve?

My breasts I had before.

Okay, all right,

So describe that for me.

They were perky and small and honestly perfect.

I loved them, okay.

So what we'll do next is an exam.

I'll step out for a few minutes, let you put a gown on.

Sound good? - Okay, yeah.

- All right. - Thank you so much.

You bet.

You know, I made a mistake.

I feel like you can look at me and you see, oh,

she has fake boobs, and I don't like that.

You can just put arms down by your side.

That's it, good.

Chest wall's normal and your incisions look good.

Are they far apart?

The breasts are not supposed

to be directly facing forward.

- Oh. - Actually they're fully,

you know, your breasts look great.

All right, so you can cover up,

and we can sit and talk about it.

Cool, that was quick and easy.

- Yeah so-- - I'll just stay

in this robe if that's okay. - Okay, yeah, that's fine.

All right, we're now gonna take the implant out.

Thoughts, questions about that?

- Breastfeeding? - If she or when she

has children, she can breastfeed?

Did you almost say if?

I said when.

You said if, when.

Yes, when, okay.

Yes, you'll be able to breastfeed.

It should not affect that.

Okay, great.

Do you use those existing scars?

Is that where you go back in?

Yes, good question.

I would use the existing scars.

- Sounds good. - Any more questions?

Yeah, I think you answered all my questions

on my little list.

Want a koozie, keep it cold?

All I do here is sit and eat.

It's nice, isn't it?

I like a never used these before you

or even like knew them, what they were.

Koozies?

Now they're all over my apartment.

When is Austen coming?

He's on his way.

We haven't hung since becoming friends again in the Bahamas.

Now does this count

as quality time or no?

- We have to ask. - I'm gonna ask.

When grown men get together and have quality time,

wars ensue, and so I'm against it.

- Hello. - Hello.

What's up?

- Hey, guys. - Hey, Austen.

What's up?

Oh, you guys are matching in the opposite.

- We do that a lot. - I actually thought

about wearing some linen pants today.

- Look how insane you two are. - Hello, I haven't seen you

in a while.

I just, yeah,

I haven't seen you in a while. - South Carolina.

- Did you see our bees? - No.

Yeah, let's go look.

No, I haven't seen a lot of things.

Oh right, 'cause you don't love us anymore.

You don't love me anymore.

I haven't seen you in like 10 weeks.

I don't date you.

Okay, look at that little bottom slit is their door,

and that's where they go in and out.

Oh my God.

So they're not in like panic defense mode.

I am.

Did you ever think you'd be standing this close

to one, though?

I mean, I wouldn't be if you didn't walk up, you know,

this close, 'cause I didn't know that you could.

Now that looks like quality time if I've ever seen it.

This is QT right here, Paige.

The queen's busy mating.

They're very mission-oriented.

And the queen's very missionary oriented.

That's right.

That's how she kills the men.

She has sex with 'em,

- And then they die? - And then she flies off

and she rips their from their body,

- You would love for - and I'm gonna implement

- to be true, wouldn't you? - that into our culture.

Cheers, welcome back to the yard.

- Cheers. - I know, man.

I haven't been out here in a while.

I heard you guys cried and made out with each other.

- Something like that, yeah. - Am I mean?

No, it was funny.

Well, well?

But seriously the disconnect that we had,

it like low key broke my heart,

- Yeah, but also like-- - and then like I heard

that like you were coming like in town,

and then Madison'll be like, "Oh yeah.

"Like I went over there last night and I was hanging out,

"you know, with Paige and Craig."

I'm like, "Cool."

You got sad?

I was like, "Cool.

"Tell 'em hey for me."

Look, I do love you.

I love you as a friend, but my loyalty will always be

to Craig no matter what. - Of course, of course.

So if Craig is fighting with someone,

I also have to hate them,

and that's just how it goes.

No, I totally understand.

This is the friendship that I missed with Craig

where I go over to his house to hang out, you know, with him

and Paige, and it doesn't feel forced.

Craig, I swear to God, I almost showed up in linen pants.

Like I asked Audrey.

I was like, I'm going to Craig's house.

- How old is she again? - 26.

- And you're 36. - Uh-huh.

Is she trying to like progress like

within your relationship?

We honestly haven't gotten that far.

Yeah, I think that's good.

We did however say the L word.

Well, you've been dating for six months, yeah.

- Six months. - Yeah, you don't have

that like, oh my god, shoot.

Like do I have to get married yet?

Like yeah.

All is well, and honestly, I like that she lives like

in Charlotte.

Preaching to the quiet, honey.

Yeah, but I'm not even gonna think about that sh--

until we've hit the two year mark of dating.

I'm not even gonna be like, hey,

why don't you think about moving here or ike or any

of that sh--. - That's so----ed.

Wanna hear what am mind---- this is?

Craig and I have been dating for two and a half years,

and so like right when we started dating it was like,

but are you gonna move?

And it's like, I've known this man for six months.

Would it be weird to talk about if you ever wanted kids

at six months in or like?

- We've talked about that. - Yeah.

She said four, Dude.

Audrey wants four.

Oh that's good.

- I just want a big family so. - Yeah.

I love it.

One step at a time.

She's should marry Craig.

Craig wants four.

You want three.

I want two.

You don't listen to me.

You said if you don't have one of each, though,

you will keep having kids

till you have a girl. - Right, but I want two.

When I'm with them, I've noticed that things are not

as calm and cool as he makes it seem.

Like did she just like snap at him a bit

or is he like annoyed with her?

And I'm gonna be honest, they are so on opposite sides

of like the spectrum of life.

You know what my favorite thing to do with Paige

is to make fun of Craig,

- Yeah. - to make fun of Craig.

We're so good at it.

- We're so good at it. - We're so good at it.

But best of all, it's so easy.

They roll off your tongue. - I mean, you guys

are the only ones that think it's funny.

It's not that easy.

Craig.

Coming up.

I have had enough of my name getting shattered

and destroyed.

I am tired of this friend group.

- Hello? - Hey.

My emotions are all over the place.

Look like I'm about to cry.

Ryan called me and was like, hey, I need

to tell you something as a friend.

Like I was getting my hair cut, and my barber was telling me

that there was a guy from our group that went

to go get his hair cut and it was JT,

and Ryan verbatim said that.

JT told him that there is some black girl

who has been coming onto him,

and his girlfriend is gonna be so pissed off.

Oh my god.

I feel like I've been in shell shock.

I've never heard JT say anything derogatory ever,

but Ryan's also married to a black man.

So like why would he just lie?

So it puts me in a very hard place.

Yeah, but why would he say that?

Why would he say that?

Like why does he have it out for JT?

What's the problem?

I mean, JT, I don't believe he did that.

I don't believe he even speaks that way.

I've never heard him speak that way,

but it's like there's been so much challenge against JT

that I'm like, like are we wrong about him?

Yeah, all right.

Thank you, by the way, obviously,

for always being my soundboard and like listening and yeah.

I appreciate it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love you, bye.

- Hey. - Hey, how are you?

- Good, how are you? - Good, can I please

do a Americano? - Yeah, anything else?

Yes, a cold coffee with oat milk.

Perfect.

Thank you.

Hey there.

Hey, buddy.

How are you?

- Good, how are you? - Good.

You're so tan.

I know I look like I went to The Bahamas.

- I'll give you a fist bump, - What about you?

'cause you're across the table.

How have you been?

I've been good.

Just been working a bunch and trying to keep my head down

while I've been sort of on the outs with our friend group.

I mean, I got like a little, well,

I shouldn't say a little.

I mean, Venita kind of gave me the lowdown

about The Bahamas.

I still have PTSD from the Bahamas.

You heard I left early?

Yeah.

Did she tell you what happened at the room,

the hotel room? - Yeah.

I'm not a moron.

I've been around you guys for months,

and I always am like okay.

Like do they ever crush on each other?

Like is there a little?

There's definitely chemistry and definitely attraction.

Here's the thing, I did not know

that you had like a full fledged girlfriend

until as of recent, right?

It's recent.

Do you think you led her on a bit?

You know, I mean, I definitely think

there were flirtatious vibes and that's probably a mess up

by me, but I don't think I said anything like, hey,

I'm gonna go in things with my girlfriend

and let's run off into the sunset together, no.

I get that.

I'm not trying to like demonize you by anything.

She called me yesterday and said, do you want to come

to the soiree with me?

I wanted to know if you'd be my plus one to that event.

I was gonna say that's valid, yeah,

but like what about for me?

After The Bahamas, like you know you have time to sort

of process things.

I don't necessarily think this is a great idea

while I have a girlfriend.

- No, I get that. - People get really badly

hurt that way.

Okay, so that's all a good perspective,

but I haven't given you all the information,

but up until-- - Oh wait, there's more?

I don't wanna perpetuate something if you didn't say it,

but I also want you to know what's being said.

Ryan, I guess, uses the same barber as you.

I guess you got a haircut recently.

- Okay, do I look good? - I don't know.

Yeah, you look good.

You look great,

- Thank you. - and he said that

that barber told him that you verbatim said,

"There's some black girl trying to get me to break up

"with my girlfriend."

And Venita's like distraught.

- No, that sounds like-- - Some brown girl

or some black girl. - No, no, no, no, no.

- Even even said, - That sounds racist.

I'm not a racist.

Well, she was just like, I just feel so like used

like I thought we were, - Used, no.

- like real friends. - We are.

Like now I'm just some black chick

that like is trying to break up his relationship.

I'm so sorry that she thinks that but no.

This is yet another time where words are being put

in my mouth.

I have nothing but respect for Venita,

and the fact that Ryan has just trolled me like this

is really offensive.

You're gonna call me a racist behind my back

to someone I actually genuinely care about on top of that?

That is so ugly and so sinister it makes my blood boil.

I will never see that barber again,

and I will never see Ryan again

until he walks this sh-- back,

because this is absolutely bullsh--,

and that is not how I roll.

You can ask anybody that I know.

I have had enough of my name getting shattered

and destroyed.

I am tired of this friend group, quiet frankly.

Who is this barber?

Like can't you get the barber on the phone

to like say that you didn't say that?

Because they're not just hurting you.

They're hurting Venita.

You need to call the barber and just clear it up.

Jesus.

Clear your----ing name.

Yo.

They're not just hurting you.

They're hurting Venita.

You need to call the barber and just clear it up.

Okay, let me go ahead and just verify

that Ryan is absolutely full of sh--.

- Yo. - Hey, I need you

to do me a monumental favor.

- Okay. - Your other client, Ryan,

says that his barber said that JT said that some black girl

on the show making me sound like a racist.

Can I just ask, did I ever use the word some

or a sequence of words, some black girl,

did I--

It s trying to ruin my relationship?

know who she is. - Yeah, so yeah.

You and I are good, and I appreciate you very much

for taking the time today to clear the air.

I'll talk to you soon, man,

but thank you for taking the call.

- All right. - Well, I'm glad you did that,

because that was like a lot.

Yeah, it was a lot.

Venita's not some girl.

She is someone that matters to me deeply.

So why Ryan's.

I'm gonna go now, but I'm glad we got that cleared.

I'm just trying to navigate a tricky situation pretty much

at all times in this friend group.

- I looks like it's-- - That's a big allegation.

- It is a big allegation. - That's a really big

accusation by Ryan.

What did I do to this guy?

That's a mother----er.

Okay, JT, JT, JT, JT, gimme one second.

I need you to breathe.

Just breathe through your nose, okay?

Because you're not talking straight,

because your words are getting jumbled.

Just breathe through your nose, okay?

Next time on the season finale

of Southern Charm.

- Hey, y'all. - Hi.

What a----ing night.

All this he said, she said, it's disgusting.

Let's take it down a notch.

No, I'm standing up for myself.

I thought I lost you.

This is the last time you're ever gonna see me,

and you just don't know it.

She asked me to buy her a ring, and like I did.

It was just like over.
