Episode 9 of Southern Charm Season 8, aired on Thursday, August 18, featured the cast members going for an overnight stay at a farm in Auldbrass.
Whitney Sudler-Smith organized the trip and stay for the Charleston gang but couldn’t have anticipated the drama his friends would bring in. After the dogs’ wedding in Episode 8, Whitney and Naomi Olindo hooked up. While he didn’t tell a soul, the latter revealed the secret to Leva Bonaparte and Austen Kroll before the trip.
Austen later told Naomi’s ex-boyfriend Craig Conover that his friend and his ex slept together. Subsequently, Craig was seen lashing out at others in Episode 9. Fans wondered why he was upset after confessing multiple times in previous episodes that Naomi didn’t affect his life in any way.
Southern Charm fans slammed Craig Conover for not standing by his own words
Craig is currently dating Summer House’s Paige DeSorbo, who warned him about Naomi. To this, Craig had said that his ex did not affect his life in any way and would not be a problem on their trip to Auldbrass.
In the previous episodes, Craig kept his distance from Naomi. He even told her that they should not hang out alone and should not pry into each other’s lives. Thus, his reaction after learning that she hooked up with Whitney confused the viewers.
Southern Charm fans slammed his behavior and reminded him of Paige’s concerns. Take a look at fans’ reactions:
Craig was the last one to learn about Naomi and Whitney’s secret. When Austen told him the truth, he initially didn’t believe that the two could ever hook up. Craig then asked Austen whether Whitney was drunk when he told him. In response, Austen clarified that he discovered the truth from the horse’s mouth, indicating Naomi.
At that moment, Whitney entered the room and stated they were adults and didn’t need to explain themselves to anyone. Craig seemed frustrated as he left the room.
