This Southern Charm Star Isn't A Fan Of New Cast Member John Pringle

According to Craig Conover, John Pringle rubbed Austen Kroll the wrong way when he arrived on the scene in Season 7. Craig told Decider, "He definitely is Austen's [antagonist] this year. I'm sure Austen just wishes he wasn't around." But why? Turns out, John seemingly made it clear that he was interested in Austen's girlfriend, Madison. And apparently, he makes a play for her throughout the course of the season. 

Austen, however, doesn't seem to agree with Craig's analysis of their relationship. He told Showbiz Cheatsheet that his relationship with Madison was "in no way shape or form" impacted by the newbie. "He doesn't have any respect for me or other people he's seen," Austen added. "You can't just level up in some friend group that you don't know and just like get together with their girlfriends." Still, he apparently never really thought John had a chance with Madison. "And just because he thinks she's hot, I mean so what, she's hot," Austen said. 

Even so, Austen wasn't all that quick to cut him out entirely. "I was never worried because I knew it wasn't a thing," he said. "But I was like, 'Man, like who the hell do you think you are?' But I'm not one to just write off someone completely. So I definitely give him a chance at redemption."
