Southern Charm Drama Unfolds: Madison LeCroy Fires Back at Ex Austen Kroll Over Role Criticism and '11 Seconds of Airtime' Jab - lulu

   

Southern Charm's Madison LeCroy Shades Austen for Lack of "Impact" on Show After He Pokes Fun at Her Reduced Role and "11 Seconds of Airtime"

Madison LeCroy isn’t just feuding with Austen Kroll‘s girlfriend, Olivia Flowers, on social media — she’s also at odds with Austen.

In addition to clapping back at Olivia’s “homegirl” diss on her Instagram page, the Southern Charm cast member shared a video in which she targeted Austen for poking fun at her minimal airtime on the premiere episode of season eight last week by laughing about his minimal impact on the Bravo reality series.

“I know that clearly there is some 11 second drama happening and I just think that that’s absolutely comical because, you know, especially coming from someone that’s been on a show for eight seasons or whatever, hasn’t made near of an impact as someone that comes on for 11 seconds. So that’s my shade. I think I just kinda have had enough,” Madison stated in her clip.

 

The drama between Madison and Austen erupted after Madison shared a clip from the show in which she and Austen were seen coming face-to-face at Kathryn Dennis‘ birthday party, where he became noticeably awkward and uncomfortable at the thought of her.

In the caption of Madison’s video, she had written the lyrics to Kenny Rogers’ “The Gambler.”

“You’ve got to know when to hold ’em… Know when to fold ’em,” she shared.

 

Following Madison’s post, Austen surfaced on his Instagram Story, where he shared a video of himself enjoying a day on the water with friends as he poked fun at the fact that Madison is no longer featured on Southern Charm in a full-time role.

Along with the same song and lyrics Madison shared with her post, Austen said his social media clip was made “in honor of 11 seconds of airtime.”

Following her split from Austen in late 2020, Madison began dating her now-fiancé, Brett Randle, and because he did not want to film for the reality show, she didn’t film as much for season eight as she has in past seasons.

During a recent interview with E! News, Madison seemingly addressed her reduced role.

“I’m not going anywhere and I’m in there. You have to understand my priorities have changed tremendously than what they were when I was in this mix years prior,” she explained.
