Austin Kroll, Jarrett Thomas.
Bravo (2)Austin Kroll and Jarrett “JT” ThomasThe promise of mending fences was short-lived as the two resumed their feud during the final episode of Southern charm.
JT presented Austin, 37, with a cane during the season 10 premiere following theirs season 9 feud. However, during the Thursday, December 12, episode of the Bravo series, JT returned to trashing Austin.
“He’s still doing the same…” JT said Craig Conover and Shep Roserevealing that Left Bonaparte told him that Austin was seeing other women while he was 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,” Craig claimed. JT continued to stoke the fire, claiming, “You guys, I love you guys, but you don’t hold him accountable.”
A frustrated Craig snaps at JT, explaining that if he wants to friends with their group of boys he needs to “stop fighting with Austin and picking on his girlfriend.”
However, JT didn’t let it go, pointing out that Leva, 45, had mentioned him at the horse races the week before. Meanwhile, Craig and Shep 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’s absolutely none of your business what is austin doing with his girlfriend,” Craig shouted. “I just told you that if you bring it up again, you’re not going to 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 demanded that he “stop” talking about Austin, Craig decided to leave. “I can’t date people who are against my friend Austin. It’s bananas,” he said as he left the mock golf game.
Later in the episode, Craig questioned Austin about JT’s accusations. “He’s like, ‘How about his new girlfriend, he’s also treating her like…'” Craig told Austin, who claimed he and Audrey are “great and happy.”
Austin, who started to see Audrey in December 2023called JT “blowing a hole” to stir the pot. Craig explained that JT claimed he was just “repeating” the rumors he heard, yelling over and over, “It’s the truth. Austin cheats on her around town.
Austin remained calm about the situation, calling JT’s comments “so sad,” adding, “He’s a miserable little rat.” Craig agreed, noting that JT was “very erratic” and “seemed crazy as hell.”
Craig then revealed that JT’s accusations didn’t stop with Austin. According to Craig, JT told him and Shep that too Madison LeCroythe husband of 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 flew off to Jamaica. I was like, ‘No one thinks you hit Madison,'” Craig recalled. “He says, ‘OK, Brett does it. I asked, “Did he accuse you of banging Madison?” He says, “No, but you said it in so many ways.”
Austin, who is now friends with Madison following their split in December 2020, noted that she’s “going to freak out” when she hears these accusations.
“Then he said, ‘Watch, Madison wore polka dots to the horse races.’ Guess who else wore polka dots? Austin,” Craig said, noting that JT hinted 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 that point you’re like, ‘Dude, what are you talking about?'” Craig told his BFF, “I thought I was in the Twilight Zone.”
Austin ended up saying he wasn’t surprised by JT’s actions. “JT couldn’t keep up the facade of ‘I’m a changed man’ for long,” he said in a confessional after previously calling out JT 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 it would simulate at least a few more weeks before that he went off the fucking deep endAustin joked, joking that he’d give JT “some creativity points” if he took his polka-dot pants to mean he was doing something dishonest with Madison.
When Craig eventually told Madison, 34, what JT had said about her husband thinking she was having an affair, she was just as upset as Austin predicted. “He’ll be the bitch when I’m done with him,” she vowed.
Southern charm airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9pm ET.
