In a statement that was as shocking as it was ironic, Shep Rose — star of Southern Charm — bluntly labeled the hugely popular podcast Giggly Squad a “stupid ass talk show,” instantly igniting backlash across the internet.
But the real question isn’t what was said — it’s who said it, and from where.
🎙️ Giggly Squad – From Bedroom Banter to Pop Culture Phenomenon
Hosted by Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo, Giggly Squad is far more than just two best friends chatting — it’s become a full-blown podcast empire. With a national tour, major brand deals, and a fiercely loyal fanbase, the show delivers the kind of content Gen Z and Millennials are actually tuning in for: sharp takes, relatable humor, and unapologetic realness.
🥴 And Shep? Well…
Meanwhile, Shep — best known for appearing on Southern Charm largely because… he was born into wealth — hasn’t had a major project in ages. His recent appearances have been limited to lackluster podcast cameos, where he rehashes tired stories and outdated opinions that feel stuck in a time capsule.
“Calling Giggly Squad stupid while living off daddy’s money and speaking to an audience of zero is the kind of delusion you can only buy with generational wealth,” one Twitter user snarkily observed.
💸 Privilege + Delusion = A Recipe for Irrelevance?
Online, fans were quick to point out the stunning irony of Shep’s comments. On one side, you have two young women who built a media empire from scratch. On the other, a middle-aged man who's never had to worry about rent, dismissing other people’s success simply because it doesn’t resemble the path he inherited.
Many believe Shep’s criticism is nothing more than thinly veiled jealousy — a reaction to the realization that a new generation is dominating the culture he’s no longer a part of.
Shep Rose may think he’s just “telling it like it is,” but in reality, he’s exposing his own irrelevance and privilege. And as Giggly Squad continues to thrive, maybe it’s time Shep learned to respect the hustle — or at the very least, learned when to sit this one out. 🎤💅
