Austen Kroll hit his verge of collapse with Jarrett “JT” Thomas right through the season 9 Southern Appeal finale — and it led to a scuffle in entrance in their pals.
“In Jamaica I realized Austen cares about nobody but himself,” JT, 38, mentioned right through a confessional interview within the Thursday, January 4, episode, regarding the crowd’s fresh getaway. “Deep down he’s a self-serving, insecure, me first, coward.”
Austen, 36, and JT have butted heads all season as JT took factor with Austen kissing Taylor Ann Inexperienced. The kiss brought about Austen’s ex Olivia Plant life and Taylor, 28, to have a falling out.
JT and Austen’s drama bubbled over on Thursday’s episode after Taylor friend-zoned JT when he mentioned that he had emotions for her. The rejection led JT to confront Austen at a bunch birthday party and make contact with him “a snake and a coward.”
“What are you squealing about?” Austen quipped whilst talking with JT on the bar. JT then accused Austen of being the “genesis of why there’s so much pain and tears” throughout the staff, claiming Austen is “an arm’s length friend who cannot be trusted around any woman.”
When Taylor stepped in to take a look at and diffuse the location, JT snapped again, announcing, “You’re taking his back? I’ll never forget this.”
In that second, Austen in the end learned why JT has been repeatedly attacking him and his personality. “Oh, now I get it. He’s jealous of me,” Austen advised the cameras. “He wanted Taylor so bad. And I get the girl. JT doesn’t.”
JT persevered to spiral on the birthday party and claimed that Austen and Taylor did greater than kiss, which is why Shep Rose remains to be so mad at Austen. (Austen attached with Taylor in a while after Shep, 43, and Taylor break up in July 2022.)
“You’re a little boy who cried wolf wrapped in a 6’5 frame. I’m looking at you man-to-man in the face,” JT yelled at Austen, who then driven him away.
Austen and JT proceeded to shove each and every different from side to side prior to the digital camera staff stepped in. “What is f–king wrong with you dude?” Austen requested. “10 years, never physical contact and here you come in.”
JT claimed that Austen hit him first, to which Austen answered, “You head butted me!” JT fired again, announcing, “You f–king lose. I’ll see you never again.” Austen ended the night time out of doors with Whitney Sudler-Smith shaking his head. “This is f–king insane,” Austen confessed.
Shep advised the cameras that he wasn’t fully mad about what transpired between JT and Austen. “I think Austen and I’s relationship is very frayed. I gave him the benefit of the doubt over the past few months,” Shep defined. “But, he did wrong. He was a bad friend. It hurts. I hate to say it, but Austen kind of deserves it and nobody can dispute that.”
