Olivia Flowers and Taylor Ann Green's Friendship Is Put to the Test in the Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion Trailer
The jaw-dropping trailer also teases a major reunion "first."
If you thought Southern Charm Season 9 couldn't get more wild, wait until you see the first-look trailer for the upcoming two-part reunion.
Charleston's finest recently made their way to New York City to film what's sure to be one of the most memorable reunions yet, and we've got all the details — including behind-the-scenes ones — below.
Keep reading to see what's to come on the Southern Charm Season 9 reunion from both host Andy Cohen and cast themselves, Shep Rose, Olivia Flowers, Craig Conover, Taylor Ann Green, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Jarrett "JT" Thomas, Venita Aspen, and Leva Bonaparte, as well as friends Rod Razavi and Rodrigo Reyes.
What to Expect from the Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion
Austen vs. JT
JT declares in the reunion trailer that he wants to perform the "first-ever f-ck boy exorcism" on Austen. The Season 9 newcomer can also be seen calling out Austen for his role in the Taylor and Olivia drama, as he says, "Austen manipulates and gaslights his way out, lies, and covers things up, and is a narcissist ego-maniac."
Shep Gets Real About His Feelings
Speaking of the Austen, Taylor, and Olivia drama, Shep is sure to speak candidly about everything that went down. "You don't know how hurt I was," he tells his longtime best friend, before Venita turns to Austen as well, asking, "Have you given him a sincere apology? Like, that's your boy."
Talk of Paige Moving — or Not Moving — to Charleston
Craig and his girlfriend, Summer House's Paige DeSorbo, have long butted heads over her refusal to move to Charleston and his refusal to move to New York City. She admittedly warmed up to the former idea over the course of Season 9, but where do the two stand on the matter today? Craig will surely reveal the answer — but not without the rest of the Southern Charm cast weighing in, too.
Olivia and Taylor's Friendship Hangs in the Balance
Olivia calls into question Austen's character at one point in the reunion trailer, but when it comes to her friendship with Taylor, things are more murky. Andy even asks Olivia of Taylor, "What would you need to hear from her to move forward?"
How to Watch the Southern Charm Season 9 Reunion

What the Southern Charm Cast Teased Backstage at the Season 9 Reunion
BravoTV.com caught up with the Southern Charm cast backstage at the reunion taping. There, Craig revealed his personal predictions to be rather simple. "What's really gonna happen is people are gonna say dumb sh-t, and I'm gonna correct them," he explained. "I don't have any agendas or motives or things to correct, but as they need correcting, I will do so."
Madison felt equally removed from the majority of the drama as well, telling BravoTV.com, "I don't think I have a dog in this fight, but sometimes [I'm] a little taken by surprise, so I'm ready."
Although, "I don't think anybody's gonna cross me if they have a brain," she added.
Like Craig and Madison, Leva said she was expecting an "easier year" for her than in the past. "I feel like I don't have 17 targets on my back," she said. "[But] I'm feeling a little anxious because I know it's been a really trying year for us."
Taylor, meanwhile, was ready to set the record straight. "We're gonna be touching on everything," she said, "and I look forward to clearing up everything."
Added Austen, "I think that there a few obvious people that I'm not the best with, but there are some real friendships here and things need to be talked about ... We'll see."
