During the latest episode of Southern Charm, Shep Rose and his ex-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green engaged in a heated argument. The tensions arose when Shep unintentionally mentioned that he had enjoyed cheating on Taylor in the past. Shep, who is 43 years old, sternly warned Taylor, who is 28, not to mess with him after she playfully congratulated their friend Jarrett "JT" Thomas for defeating Shep in a game of ping pong on Thursday, November 9th.
Taylor accused Shep of exhibiting feelings of jealousy and control towards her, but he denied it. Shep then asserted that Taylor derived pleasure from his failures and took pleasure in rubbing it in his face. As the argument between them escalated, Shep questioned Taylor's tendency to provoke conflict, to which she responded by accusing him of infidelity. In a drunken state, Shep nonchalantly rolled his eyes and muttered, "Sometimes it was enjoyable," causing their entire group of friends to cringe. Taylor confronted him, asking if he had indeed made that statement. Despite Shep's denial, she remained unconvinced.
"Yeah, you definitely did, you despicable person," Taylor shouted as she flung her wine glass at Shep. "I can't stand being in this wretched house anymore," she added, before Olivia Flowers stepped in and attempted to pacify her.
Shep's comment struck a sensitive chord with Taylor, who had accused him of sleeping with "300 prostitutes" during the season 8 Southern Charm reunion in October 2022. Taylor, who ended her relationship with Shep in July 2022, had previously alleged that he had been unfaithful to her while they were together, something Shep had previously admitted to.
During the new episode, while Taylor twirled in the kitchen, Shep's frustration grew outside. He confronted Austen Kroll for siding with Taylor, who Shep had recently ended things with. Earlier in the season, Austen, age 36, admitted to Shep that he had kissed Taylor.
Shep expressed his resentment towards Austen, stating, "It's no surprise that Austen is against me. He's been against me from the start. I represent everything that you aspire to be." Their friends watched as Shep continued, "You're so self-satisfied. You make mistakes all the time, but you keep them hidden because you never open up to your friends. It seems like you take pleasure in someone else's missteps."
Shep discovered Taylor crying in the house and expressed remorse for his behavior. "I apologize. I didn't intend it. You angered me, Taylor. You provoked me," he clarified. "I was furious. I couldn't fathom how you sided with someone else after a defeat."
Upon Taylor's observation that the issue extended beyond ping pong, Shep confessed, "Clearly, I'm upset about the Austen situation. I've been suppressing my emotions. I haven't spoken up."
Despite hurting each other's feelings, Shep and Taylor found themselves waking up together in bed the next morning. The following day, Shep jokingly asked Taylor if she had come into bed just for Craig, referring to his dog Little Craig who was also present. Taylor playfully responded, admitting that she did indeed come for Craig.
Meanwhile, their friends began speculating about what had happened between the former couple. Olivia, aged 31, had witnessed them in bed together and shared this information with Craig Conover and Austen. Despite the rumors, Shep and Taylor played it cool and evasive. Shep affectionately referred to Taylor as a "kissing bandit," to which Taylor questioned him about the emotional implications of sharing a bed without truly sleeping together.
Shep denied feeling sad, emphasizing that Taylor had repeatedly advised against engaging in any romantic relationship post-breakup. Southern Charm is broadcasted on Bravo on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
