Southern Charm's most beloved bromance may be headed for a breakup.
Longtime costars Craig Conover, Shep Rose and Austen Kroll finally sit down to rehash their falling out in E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Bravo series' season 10 premiere.
The preview kicks off with Shep confronting his former BFFs for cutting off all ties with him after he got blackout drunk at BravoCon the previous year.
"I just didn't know I was such a pariah," Shep tells them in the clip. "I mean, this is all news to me, man. It just sounds to me like you just don't see relationships the way I do."
Craig then doubles down on ghosting his former friend over his boozy antics by replying, "No, I think you f--ked up and you needed to never do that again. And, like, I've heard about some bad nights you've had since New York."
And while Shep admits his journey since BravoCon "hasn't been perfect," Craig isn't budging in his stance.
"Okay, so what do you think? I'm a masochist and I'm gonna keep sticking around?" he asks Shep, who replies, "You never stuck around, that's the point."
Craig's response? "For years I did."
Even though Shep insists, "Craig, I'm not a charity case," Craig reasons he intentionally stepped away from their friendship "because I was focusing on myself." In a confessional, Craig explains his choice to start a new chapter, one that doesn't involve hard partying.
"In the past year, I haven't been drinking, and it changed everything for me," the Pillows & Beer podcast co-hosts—who has been dating fellow Bravolebrity Paige DeSorbo for over three years—recounts. "I'm happier and healthier and my relationship is so much better."
Craig further tells Shep, "Sometimes you need to take a step back from people, that's all."

As for Austen's take on all the drama?
"With Shep, sometimes I'm like, you are son of a b---h and, like, good f--king riddance," he explains in a confessional. "Because what you don't see is that I take him out of the clutches of a cop on King Street. But at the same time, I don't completely agree with the way that Craig can set boundaries, which is just like a hard cut-off. Because at the end of the day, I f--king love the guy."
