For fans who tuned in to the Season 8 premiere of 'Southern Charm', it certainly packed a punch. Between Kathryn Dennis and Naomie Olindo's fight to Austen Kroll realising that he and Craig Conover might not be as close as he thought, the drama was unfolding all over the place. And, to add to the chaos, Madison LeCroy's appearance seemed to add fuel to the fire. Austen seemed visibly bothered by Madison showing up to the party, even though he was with his current girlfriend, Olivia Flowers.

And if anything, the words they exchanged were indicative of what their relationship was like, seeing that Austen stated that he "bet a million dollars” she would show up at the party only for her to ask if he had "a million to bet?” Yikes.

But unfortunately, that was as far as the salty interaction went, which as caused fans to wonder -- is Madison still an active part of the show? 
As reported by the Bravo Guru on Instagram, Madison is a part of the season, however, she will be featured in a "lesser role". This is on account of her engagement to Brett Randle, as the couple wants to keep their private lives away from cameras. In addition to this, the page also revealed that Madison was splitting her time between Charleston and California around the time of filming, and thus had to work around a tight schedule. 



 

While she might not be a frequent face on the show, for now, it hasn't stopped her from being at the centre of the drama, however. During the season premiere, Olivia Flowers made a statement in the episode, as she told Austen that they shouldn't be on their "first date and be talking about homegirl,” regarding Madison. 

And it looks like this certainly had Madison feeling a certain kind of way, who was quick to share a post on Instagram, captioned "I’d rather be a homegirl than a homely girl," with fans quickly assuming that the statement was a diss at Olivia. Turns out, they were not the only ones, with Austen taking to his Instagram stories to comment on Madison's "11 seconds of airtime" on the latest season. It looks, for now, fans can expect drama from the former couple, both off-screen and on-screen! 



 





'Southern Charm' Season 8 airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
