Austen Kroll‘s ex-girlfriend, Audrey Pratt, spoke out against him after watching a clip from his appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Instagram.
After seeing that the 38-year-old Southern Charm cast member had claimed they were in touch post-split, and suggested that it was “heartbreaking” for him to watch their relationship come to an end amid season 11, Audrey shared a comment in which she denied that the two of them were on speaking terms.
“Do you feel bad for Audrey when you saw the entire season play out and now realize how done you were with the relationship all summer? That has to be heartbreaking for her,” host Andy Cohen, 57, asked Austen on the February 4 episode of WWHL, reading a question from an audience member.
“It has been heartbreaking for me to kind of see it back and for her to kind of be like, ‘I didn’t know that these thoughts were going through your head.’ So that definitely is very sad because I care about her still a lot,” he replied.
Then, when asked if the two of them were in touch, Austen said they were — but not regularly.
“We are, but not as often. I mean, we certainly talked when the trailer dropped and then a couple of months later, and then she just like saw some things and was like, ‘WTF?’” he recalled, potentially signaling his flirty behavior with both Salley Carson, 31, and Molly O’Connell, 38.
Following the sharing of the clip, Audrey, whom Austen went public with in early 2024, set the record straight.
“What a joke. We are definitely not in touch and never will be,” Audrey wrote, along with a couple of crying while laughing emojis.
Months before Austen’s appearance on WWHL, he was featured on the Chicks in the Office podcast, where he opened up about his and Audrey’s breakup.
“I was having conversations that I feel like normal people have after like a year and a half in of [wondering], what’s that next move? Because I don’t want to do it any longer, you know, three years apart from one another,” he said. “It was really nice for the amount of time that we did it, and then it was getting to the point of, what’s next?”
Southern Charm season 11 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
