Southern Charm’s Shep Rose Rejects Taylor Ann Green’s ‘Booty Call’ — but She Says It Was ‘Not a Mistake’

On Thursday’s Southern Charm, Craig Conover had big plans for a group trip to Jamaica where his friends could get to know his girlfriend Paige DeSorbo — the only catch was that he didn’t consult her before setting the itinerary.

“It’s very irresponsible of me to just pick up and go to Jamaica for three days,” the Summer House star told Craig, 34, via FaceTime.

Craig recognized his mistake, acknowledging in a confessional interview that he “probably should’ve checked with Paige before scheduling the ‘Get to Know Paige’ trip.”

Instead of rescheduling the vacation, though, Craig moved forward with the trip without Paige, 31.

A FAILED BOOTY CALL

While shopping for the vacation, Shep Rose told Jarrett “JT” Thomas that his ex-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green texted him to meet up after Patricia Altschul’s annual Gentleman’s Dinner.

“She’s basically like, ‘Do you want to hook up?’” Shep, 43, told JT, 38. “And I was like, ‘I don’t think that’s a good idea.’ And she goes, ‘Fine, I’ll just stay with Austen.’”

In an on-camera interview, Shep called the text from Taylor, 28, “a shock to say the least.”

JT thought Taylor might need closure.

“Maybe I should just leave her alone,” Shep decided.

Taylor owned up to her actions to Leva Bonaparte.

“There’s just like, a lot of emotions going on with Shep and I,” Taylor said to Leva, 44. “We shared a kiss in the mountains. We passed out in the same bed.”

The Day Chaser brand rep also confessed to texting Shep. “This past weekend, I texted Austen and Shep: ‘What are you guys doing after Ms. Pat’s dinner?’” Taylor said. “And I’m texting Shep, I was like, ‘Are you coming? Where are you?’ I guess we can call it a booty call text.”

After Shep told her he planned to head home, Taylor admitted she acted “petty.”

“I was like, ‘OK, we’re going to stay out and hang out with Austen, F you,’” Taylor continued to Leva.

Taylor had no regrets about texting Shep, though. “I’m not sorry about it because booty calling somebody that I was so in love with is not a mistake in my book,” she told the cameras. “But in this case, I tried and it didn’t work out.”

AUSTEN’S INTENTIONS

Before heading to Jamaica with Taylor and Olivia Flowers, Austen Kroll had a session with his therapist, who advised him to “be clear with Olivia about what your intentions are.”

At a gym session with Craig, the 36-year-old TropHop founder said he wanted “to figure out how I can move forward with her as just friends.”

Craig questioned whether Austen actually wanted to stay in the friend zone with Olivia, 31, especially since Austen had expressed how much he’d been enjoying nightly calls with her and questioned, “How am I not supposed to have flirtatious f—ing tendencies?”

“I don’t have this hidden agenda at the moment,” Austen claimed.

Still, Craig told the cameras, “This is why you don’t hang out with exes.”

Despite that belief, Craig brought Austen to Jamaica with Taylor, Olivia and his ex-girlfriend Madison LeCroy, who recently decided she wanted to try for a baby with husband Brett Randle.

After checking in and sitting down to a family-style dinner on the beach, the group split off for some after-dinner drinks. Surprisingly, Madison, 32, sat down with Austen and encouraged him to go after Taylor.

“I would hate for you to not pursue something because of other people,” Madison said to Austen, referring to Shep. “Like, that motherf—er over there is the most selfish person in the entire world. I know deep down you really do have a good heart. I know you don’t want to hurt him, I know you don’t want to hurt Olivia, but at the same time, what do you want to be happy for you?”

Austen called himself “a rom-com loser” because “I want that rom-com ending in my life.”

But he didn’t think Taylor would give him that ending. “This is not my rom-com ending,” he continued to Madison. “It’s not Taylor. I was confused there for a second.”

Austen did think, however, that Olivia might be his happily ever after.

“It was always about f—ing Olivia,” Austen said. “I f—ing love her. It was always about her. I went to therapy because of Olivia because I should’ve ended up with her.”
