Southern Charm’s Leva Teases Conflict Between Taylor and Bachelor’s Salley
According to Leva Bonaparte, Southern charm Season 10 is going to be messy, partly because of the newcomer Sally Carson‘s drama with Taylor-Ann Green.

The restaurateur teased that the feud between Salley and Taylor goes back before Taylor started seeing Gaston. Leva recalled that Taylor came to an event at Republic when she was dating “another guy who Salley is dating now.”
Leva told Taylor at the time, “I thought, ‘That guy’s drama.’ She says, “No, he seems so nice.” And then Salley comes in to talk to Joe and Taylor comes up to me and she’s like, ‘You know that girl slept with me? Sheep [Rose]?’ And I was like, ‘Joe’s girlfriend?’ And she said, ‘Yes, she did.’
Leva explained that there is “so much” between Salley and Taylor, dating back to when Salley slept with Taylor’s now ex-boyfriend Shep. (Taylor and Shep, 44, split in the summer of 2022 after two years.)
Southern charm fans will learn more about Salley’s new man this season – the one Taylor first dated. “It’s just business,” Leva said with a laugh, noting that the bad relationship between Salley and Taylor was “inevitable.”

She teased earlier this month that the tension stems from Salley “trying to warn Taylor, but Taylor isn’t having it,” seemingly referring to Gaston.

[…]
Taylor admitted it Us that she sometimes has arguments with Salley this season, but that this does not have a negative impact on her relationship.
“I had only met her briefly in the crowd,” Taylor recalled earlier this month. “So it was a little frustrating to have someone come in that I don’t really know and try to mess with everyone.”
She noted that she kept the drama “separate” from her romance with Gaston, who she claimed “understands the dynamic.”
Taylor insisted that Salley’s actions were “not an issue between Gaston and me.” It was just kind of an annoying mosquito where you said, ‘Just get out of here.’ Stop. Just stop. ”
