Salley Carson Defends Austen Kroll After Sensitive Interview
10 Feb
Summary
- Salley Carson defended Austen Kroll over a podcast interview.
- Carson felt the interview was insensitive regarding Kroll's sister.
- She called for a public apology from the podcast hosts.
Salley Carson has voiced her support for Southern Charm's Austen Kroll, criticizing "The Viall Files" podcast for an interview that reportedly caused distress.
Carson stated that the discussion of Kroll's late sister, Kyle, during the January 7th podcast episode felt abrupt and uncomfortable for Kroll. She emphasized that while Kroll has spoken about his sister's death on "Southern Charm," the podcast hosts, Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, should have approached the topic with greater sensitivity.
Despite Kroll receiving private apologies from Viall and Joy, Carson believes a more substantial public apology is necessary. She expressed concern that the hosts might be reluctant to admit fault for their handling of the sensitive subject matter. The interview faced backlash from listeners who cited the hosts' perceived lack of compassion and casual approach to Kroll's childhood grief.
