“THE SHAMELESS MUGSHOT ADMIRER”: Southern Charm’s Shep Rose DEFIES all morality, CONFESSING his ‘LOWEST OF THE LOW’ flirtation with a CONVICTED CRIMINAL proves his dating standards have VANISHED, sealing his legacy as a SERIAL WOMANIZER
Southern Charm star Shep Rose is publicly thirsting after a woman — solely after seeing her mugshot.
“How much is bail?” Rose, 46, recently commented on Trap House’s Instagram coverage of the unidentified individual’s arrest. “And I hope she like [sic] Thai food.”
The social media site did not name the woman in question, reporting that she was arrested in Memphis, Tennessee, for vandalism and trespassing after she was allegedly caught spray-painting “Teamwork” across her ex-boyfriend’s garage. Trap House further claimed that the woman also slept with her now-ex’s coworker and that “teamwork” was meant to be a sarcastic joke.
While Rose has not further discussed his interest in the arrested woman, he’s been single since earlier this year.
“I want something different,” he said during a 2025 BravoCon panel earlier this month. “I’ve been to every party and every country; I’ve seen it all. I’m sort of like, ‘I want another challenge, so to speak.’ Or, another reality.”
Rose was last in a long-distance relationship with Sienna Evans for a few months in 2024.
“Sienna and I met on this dating site. I was enthralled with her,” he recalled on a December 2024 episode of Southern Charm. “I just think she’s so sexy.”
Months later, Evans shared her own version of how they pair met.
“Shep and I did meet on Raya, and at the time, his profile, it just made him seem like a Southern boy who liked to fish,” Evans recalled in a February video shared via TikTok. “He messaged me, and he was like, ‘Oh, you’re from the Bahamas? I always go to the Bahamas. I love the Bahamas.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, he’s cute’ or whatever, and that’s how we met. And then he followed me on Instagram, and we started talking on Instagram, and that’s kind of how things started.”
After their relationship eventually fizzled out, Rose claimed that Evans, 26, ghosted him. They later came face-to-face during the season 10 cast trip to the Bahamas.
“We had a little bit of a falling out that was so stupid,” he said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in March. “We just got in a little argument. We had a lot of fun, [and] out of nowhere, this coldness and distance.”
While Rose continues to navigate the single scene, he’s also been dealing with friendship changes going into Southern Charm season 11.
“It’s a difficult position,” Shep exclusively told Us Weekly in November, teasing that he’s been in the middle of costars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll’s feud. “My jaw was on the ground.”
Craig, 36, and Austen, 38, also told Us that the drama has yet to be resolved.
“Craig and I have long and deep-seated issues, and when you try to sweep those under the rug for as long as we have, it eventually is going to come to a head,” Austen told Us. “The three of us [Austen, Shep and Craig] got dinner together [the other night]. Dinner was awesome. The bar afterwards got a little dicey.”
Craig, for his part, told Us that “the drama is very alive.”
“The relationship shifts are real,” Craig teased. “I have very unanswered questions that I have to deal with on a daily basis.”
Jeff Lewis Responds to Lala Kent Calling Him Out Over Comment About Sober Fan, Addresses If He Was RHOC Finale Caller & Where He Stands With Andy Cohen After “[Screwing] Up” BravoCon Panel
Jeff Lewis offered an update on where he stands with Andy Cohen on his radio show, days after they suffered yet another falling out at BravoCon.
As the 55-year-old Flipping Out alum also reflected on his comment about Monica Garcia, 42, being on food stamps, reacted to being called out by Lala Kent, 35, over a comment he made to a sober fan, and shared if he was the Real Housewives of Orange County finale caller, he said that while Andy, 57, did get mad, they are now in a “better” place.
“[We’re] much better … I have no problem saying, ‘I’m sorry,’” Jeff shared on the November 21 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. “We have an 18-year friendship … I have a lot of love for Andy … I didn’t give a sh*t what 5,000 people thought of me that I don’t know. I don’t care.”
According to Jeff, he was “really upset” that he hurt Andy and “f*cked up his day.”
“I screwed up his panel, and that was what I was really most upset about … I was aggressive. I was negative. I was, I got frustrated with him. I am sorry,” he explained.
As for his comment about Monica being on food stamps, Jeff clarified that he “insinuated” she was on food stamps before seemingly doubling down.
“Five kids and no job? That’s a lot. Kids are expensive. Can I tell you? I can’t afford to have five kids. If I can’t afford to have five kids, she certainly can’t afford to have five kids,” he noted. “I was making a joke, which was an inappropriate joke, and it didn’t land very well.”
“[But] my whole point of that was saying, ‘What happened to hiring affluent women?’ That’s what I was saying to Andy … that was the first example that I brought up,” he added.
Moving on to his interaction with a BravoCon fan who was in recovery, Jeff said his comment about the convention not being the place for a sober person was “taken out of context.”
“He was very long-winded, and he could not read a room, and he was a downer. He killed the vibe … People are taking what I’m saying out of context … what happened was, I said, ‘Do you think, now that you’ve fallen off the wagon, you were in recovery, do you think BravoCon is a good place to be?'” he explained. “I don’t know. I’m not in recovery, but I would think there would be a lot of temptation to drink, and that’s why I said that, and yes, it was snarky, and maybe it was insensitive, but I did say that.”
Regarding Lala specifically, Jeff wondered why she didn’t contact him directly before calling him out on Instagram.
“I must’ve talked to her for 30 minutes at JSX before we flew to Vegas. I thought we were friends. If she has a problem, call me. We’ll talk about it,” he encouraged.
Also on his radio show, Jeff clapped back at the suggestion that Shannon Beador, 62, put him up to the phone call seen on the RHOC finale in which a mystery person accused Tamra Judge, 58, of being behind a series of leaked stories.
“Have I ever hid behind anybody? I would not do that because I don’t believe it anyway,” he stated.
