Southern Charm’s Leva Bonaparte and Rodrigo Reyes call out Nick Viall and Natalie Joy for their actions towards Austen Kroll.
In a recent Instagram post by @queensofbravo, Leva Bonaparte and Rodrigo Reyes discussed the controversy surrounding Nick Viall and Natalie Joy’s insensitivity towards Austen Kroll. The duo expressed their shock at the lack of apology from Viall and Joy towards Kroll and his family, especially considering the nature of the questions asked about Kroll’s late sister on a recent episode of The Viall Files podcast.
Bonaparte emphasized the need for an apology, stating that the lack of one was unacceptable given the impact of the questions on Kroll and his family. Reyes echoed this sentiment, calling for compassion and understanding in the situation.
The Instagram post also included a clip of former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, a friend of Viall’s, calling on Joy to apologize for her insensitive questions.
The controversy arose from a recent episode of The Viall Files in which Joy questioned Kroll about his late sister, Kyle, who tragically passed away at a young age. The line of questioning made many viewers uncomfortable, as Joy probed into sensitive details about Kroll’s family’s experience.
Despite the backlash, neither Joy, Viall, nor Kroll have publicly addressed the controversy, leaving fans and fellow reality stars to discuss the situation on social media.
In the world of reality television, where drama often takes center stage, this controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of sensitivity and compassion when discussing personal topics. It remains to be seen if Viall and Joy will issue an apology to Kroll, but the impact of their actions has not gone unnoticed by their peers in the industry.
