When the Southern Charm season trailer came out last week, you guys had a few questions. While most of the season’s storylines have been outlined for you before in my four-part series of posts laying out the entire season, there was one question that you all wanted to know. Who Did Shep Rose call “white trash?”
The first thing I though about when I saw that was that episode was that cruise where Thomas Ravenel was referring to people as OC or not OC. The OC was for “our class.” Because Thomas Ravenel thinks he is very classy.
Shep Rose seems to have that same sense of entitlement and of course the Bravo approved misogyny.
We’ve seen Shep be sexually inappropriate with females on the show. We’ve seen Shep’s rants against the women on the Isle of Palms City Council. And, we’ve seen him defend drug allegations toward Andy Cohen. Also, we’ve seen him be denied boarding on Delta because he was too drunk to fly.
Money Can’t Buy You Class, And Neither Can Your Daddy
So it comes as no surprise that he is calling someone white trash. The thing is, in the preview clip that you can see here, it appears that the “white trash” comment is a frankenbite. We hear some bad audio of “you fucking white trash” before we see the very brief clip of Shep Rose, Craig Conover, and Austen Kroll talking. No one seems particularly angry and we barely see Shep’s mouth move. It doesn’t seem likely that those words left Shep’s mouth at that particular time. It may have happened then or at some other time and been frankenbited in to the scene. That would explain the need for the giant subtitles. They really didn’t want us to miss it.
That said, according to Tamara Tattles Exclusive Sources, whenever he said it the person he was referring to was likely Madison LeCroy. As previously mentioned, Shep Rose is amping up is douchebaggery for the upcoming season. He is particularly coming for Austen Kroll. And here is why.
Here’s What You Need To Know About Madison LeCroy
Madison Lecroy is a high-end hairstylist and MUA. She was Patricia Altschul’s hairstylist prior to Southern Charm. She’s well established in Charleston. Naomie Olindo and Cameron Eubanks are also her longtime clients.
Thomas Ravenel used to hit up on Madison all the time. Thomas Ravenel set Austen up with those two girls that we know about from the infamous video. But, Thomas denied this. Austen believed Thomas until Madison pulled out receipts. She had texts between Thomas and the two girls he “met at a bar” one night when he was on Instagram asking people to come drink with him. Madison showed Austen the texts, and they eventually made up.
Shep Rose also tried to date Madison and she wasn’t interested. Shep is a bit jealous of Austen regarding the whole Madison situation. Also, Madison tried to make Austen a better person. She’s good for him. Shep sees her as a threat his boys time with his drinking buddy. Madison is incredibly confident and not afraid to challenge the good ole boys. Patricia calls her a “spitfire.” And for the record a top hairstylist and MUA can make quite a bit of money. She’s way too good for any of the guys on this show.
Everyone Will Turn On Shep This Season
Madison and Austen break up all the time for a plethora of random reasons. But this season, Shep goes all out in his attempts to break up that relationship. Because, really? Shep has no storyline other than being a prick to Craig or being an asshole to Austen. He has nothing going on. He has a bar but for some reason we never see it when it’s open.
Anyway, I’m still not personally convinced that Shep even says those words on the trailer. However, I do know that he was saying terrible things about Madison all season. This did not sit well with the girls at all. Even Patricia may have finally have had enough of Shep. You never come between a woman and her hairstylist. Whoever will she invite to her Gentleman’s dinners now?
Now that TRav is gone, the show needs a new villain. And now that TRav is gone, Shep can no longer get away with “well, at least I didn’t do what Thomas did”.
When will these man-babies ever learn?
AGreed! He can’t hide behind TRav’s mess anymore. Craig and Austen seem to good guys. Neither come from generational wealth and a patriarchal “old world” culture. They both seem to be a little more balanced, a little less entitled. I am just watching for the girls. Love this group of women! They could make the men “friends” of the show and I would be happy.
I’ll be interested to see how Cameran’s relationship with Shep goes this season. She’s always been my favorite on Southern Charm. She’s seemed pretty tight with Shep in the past–wonder if that will continue?
I’ve learned never to trust their trailers too much. They edit them in a very misleading way too many times.
I looked at Madison’s instagram a couple of seasons ago and she seemed like a hard working gal. Always showing herself on the job, working out, or with her little boy.
I find it ironic that when this show started, the focus was supposed to be on the Charleston men with a couple of women thrown in the mix. Now the tables have turned!
Anyway, I hope Shep didn’t say that, but honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did.
Shep is very jealous of Austen & he thinks he is entitled b/c of HIS PARENTS $ & puts everyone down but he would have nothing if it weren’t for them. He is a complete douchebag this season & I used to like him but he is getting more bitter & nasty each season, esp. w/couples.
Shep is T Rav w/o the crimes! A true d bag!! Always has been !
Maybe the White Trash comment was directed at Ashley the day she showed up during filming. And if the tube top fits … Shepherd is right on.
Madison was at Cameron’s baby shower at Patricia’s so at least there’s a natural prior connection to her and the group. Bringing Eliza in isnsteange considering how young she is. I’m getting bored with the southern Charms and housewives.
Bravo needs a new successful show. . The last few shows they have debuted I made it through one episode. Seems like they cancel the interesting shows
I loved Mother Funders, the Lodge shows, Blood Sweat and heels and the New Atlanta. They need to find a show in Chicago, Nashville or Aspen. They should figure out how to combine Pretry Wicked Moms and Big Rich Atlanta.
I was quite fond of The People’s Couch show too. I am with you on the housewives shows getting boring and quite frankly, no offense to some of the women, but dressing in skin tight clothes and perhaps resemble more of a hooker than a housewife at their ages is starting to get gross (Ramona, for example). Not saying Ramona doesn’t have a good figure, but her clothes appear about 3 sizes too small all the time and you don’t need to have the ta-ta’s hanging almost completely out of everything, especially when they start looking a little saggy, when you get a certain age – if you’re trying to attract husband material, maybe leave a little to a man’s imagination instead of literally sticking it in their faces. Men have no issues with bedding the hookers, but they generally want someone who at least publicly appears a bit more respectable – they can still be cougars in bed, but just don’t go over-the-top in public.
I can’t believe I’m about to defend Ramona because I do think she can be very nasty, but why must women drag each other down over non essentials?
She has a great figure FOR ANY AGE and she is free to wear what she wants according to the laws of the country she lives in. That’s it.
It may not be your taste and it may not be my taste but women have fought hard to be allowed the same freedom as men.
I second that, Nelly! Sick of hearing how “old” women shouldn’t be showing any skin. If you got it, flaunt it.
For years I have defended Ramona because, after not liking her at all, in Season One orchard Two she did something that showed she was a good person inside. I forget what it was but it was toward Bethenny. And I think she tried to help jill and Bethenny. And she has been good to Bethenny several times. So I understand when she reacts to Bethenny saying she is not a friend. But she is pretty annoying.
Hairstylist I know, but what is MUA?
MUA – Make Up Artist
Does Austen only date hairdressers??
I have never cared for Shep because I thought he was exceptionally cruel to others, especially Craig. Shep literally does nothing except goes to his mailbox to collect his trust money checks from his family, yet he acts exactly like T-Rav doling out his “sage advice”, telling everyone how they should live their lives, when literally all he does is literally screw every cut woman he sees if they’ll have him and drink incessantly – hey, that DOES sound exactly like T-Rav, maybe with a tiny bit less allegedly rapey/sociopathic tendencies than T-Rav. I guess since T-Rav got allegedly fired or quit (depending on whose version people choose to believe), he’s the new replacement scumbag. He’s getting EXTRA-long in his ugly teeth and perhaps should consider a full mouth set of implants and grow the heck up, keep his trap shut more, and just quit pretending he knows anything higher than a 5th grader level.
I’m pretty sure that is a full mouth of implants he got very young due to some sports accident.
Yeah he said his uppers (or part of them were implants from a sports injury). Sports injury always sounds better!!
How bad/small is the dating pool there? I don’t get what these pretty successful women are doing with these guys.
Didn’t Whitney call Katherine white trash?
