Southern Charm Recap: Austin Kroll Calls JT ‘Poor Little Rats’

Austen Kroll and Jarrett “JT” Thomas‘ peace stick promise to mend fences was short-lived as the two rekindled their feud during the latest episode Southern Charm.

JT presented Austin, 37, with a walking stick season 10 premiere following his own season 9 feud. However, during the Thursday, December 12 episode of the Bravo series, JT returned to destroying Austin.

“He still does the same things…” JT said Craig Conover and Shep Roserevealing that Leo Bonaparte told him that Austen had been seeing other women while dating his current girlfriend, Audrey Pratt.

Shep, 44, and Craig, 35, jumped to Austin’s defense, claiming the cheating rumors were untrue. “I don’t care about Leva because Austin and Audrey are great,” claims Craig. JT continued to stoke the fire, claiming, “You guys, I love you, but you don’t hold him accountable.

A frustrated Craig explodes at JT, explaining that if he wants to friends with their group of guys he has to “stop arguing with Austin and messing with his girlfriend.”

JT, however, didn’t let it go, pointing out that Leva, 45, had brought it up at the horse races a week earlier. Craig and Shep, meanwhile, didn’t care who started the rumors and just wanted JT to stop them.

“Why don’t you hear me when I tell you it is.” it is absolutely none of your business what is austin doing with his girlfriend,” Craig yelled. “I just told you, if you bring it up again, you won’t see me again.” JT remained adamant that he was right, replying, “I’m telling you I stand by the truth and I’m here bro.

After Shep asked what was “wrong” with JT and insisted he “stop” talking about Austin, Craig decided to leave. “I can’t hang out with people who are against my friend Austin.” These are bananas,” he said as he left their mock golf game.

Later in the episode, Craig informed Austin about JT’s allegations. “He’s like, ‘How about his new girlfriend, and he’s treating her like s—t?'” said Craig Austin, who claimed he and Audrey are “great and happy.”

Austen, which began seeing Audrey in December 2023called JT a “f—ing a—hole” for stirring the pot. Craig explained that JT claimed he was just “repeating” rumors he heard, yelling over and over, “It’s true. Austin cheats with her around town.”

Austin remained calm about the situation, calling JT’s comments “so freaking sad,” adding, “He’s a poor little rat.” Craig agreed, noting that JT was “very erratic” and “seemed freaking crazy.”

Craig then revealed that JT’s allegations didn’t stop with Austin. According to Craig, JT told both him and Shep that Madison LeCroyhusband, Brett Randleaccused him of hooking up with her when they were on a group trip to Jamaica.

“He said Brett called him and he thinks he and Madison eloped in Jamaica. I thought, ‘No one thinks you hit Madison,’” Craig recalled. “He’s like, ‘Well Brett knows.’ I thought, ‘Did he accuse you of beating Madison?’ He says, “No, but he said it in many ways.”

Austin, who is now friends with Madison following their split in December 2020, noted that she would “freak out” when she hears these accusations.

“Then he says, ‘Look at this, Madison wore polka dots to the horse races. Guess who else wore polka dots? Austin,” Craig said, noting that JT insinuated that something was going on with the exes.

Austin was completely stunned by the accusation. “I don’t have time for that…” he replied. “At this point you’re just like, ‘Man, what are you talking about?'” Craig told his best friend, “I thought I was in the twilight zone.”

Finally, Austin said he wasn’t surprised by JT’s actions. “JT couldn’t keep up the I-changed facade for long,” he said in the confessional after previously calling JT out for being duplicitous during the season 9 reunion. (Austin and JT butted heads all last season after JT claimed Austin didn’t know how to treat women. They even got into a shoving match.)

“I just thought they were going to fake it for a few more weeks at least earlier.” he went off the fucking deep endAustin joked, joking that he was going to give JT “some points for creativity” because he assumed his polka dot pants meant he was doing something mean with Madison.

When Craig eventually told Madison, 34, what JT had said about her husband thinking he was having an affair, she was just as upset as Austin predicted. “He’ll be a bitch when I’m done with him,” she vowed.
