Craig Conover Accuses Charley of Love-Bombing on Southern Charm
A tense exchange dominates part two of the Southern Charm reunion. Bravo will air the episode Wednesday, March 25 at 8 p.m. ET.
The preview arrived via an Us Weekly sneak peek. The episode lands on Peacock the following day.
The central allegation
Craig Conover, 37, accuses Charley Manley, 28, of love-bombing him during the season. He says her words and actions suggested a future together.
Craig also claims extensive off-camera messaging. He says those messages made him believe they were more than casual dates.
Responses and denials
Charley rejects the love-bombing label. She tells the cast she did not hide conversations with other men.
She insists they were never a couple. Charley points out they only went on two dates.
Cast interventions
Austen Kroll, 38, reportedly told Craig he had met the man Charley was seeing in Las Vegas. Craig says Austen said Charley introduced that man at a bar.
Salley Carson, 31, allegedly warned Craig Charley was speaking to two other men. Craig says he gave Charley chances to be honest.
Season backdrop and fallout
The allegation unfolds against a season of romantic complications. Craig entered a love triangle with Charley and Salley after his 2024 split from Paige DeSorbo.
On screen, Craig and Charley shared an oyster date and a kiss. After a confrontation in Mexico, Charley says she lost interest and ended things.
Host Andy Cohen, 57, directly questioned Charley at the reunion. The official season 11 trailer, released March 11, hinted at accountability.
What to watch for
Expect more heated back-and-forth in part two. Fans will see cast members push for clarity about intentions and honesty.
The reunion episode airs on Bravo Wednesday, March 25, at 8 p.m. ET. It will become available on Peacock the next day.
