Southern Charm star Shep Rose told Andy Cohen how he first learned about co-star Madison LeCroy’s romance with Alex Rodriguez – before the subject unexpectedly blew up during the program’s recent Bravo reunion. .
Rose on Monday appealed to SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” and recalled that the cast filmed a trip to Capers Island in South Carolina when LeCroy allegedly said “on camera – there’s buzzing camera, we’re on” a boat – and she’s like ‘Well, I DMing with A-Rod, but we can’ t talk about it. Or they can not broadcast it because I signed an NDA. ”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of it, and I was like, ‘Oh my God! “Rose told Cohen. My eyes almost pop out of my head. But hey, you know, I think from what I understand, he approached her. ‘
Regarding the footage in which LeCroy mentioned A-Rod, Rose said: ‘They did not use it … and then let’s [the reunion show]. I think it was [castmate] Craig [Conover] who left such a cat out of the bag, and it did not take long before the internet or whatever the answers uttered, which it never does. Do it? “
A-Rod’s name was exhausted on the reunion show when it was raised.
LeCroy later confirmed to Page Six that the said mystery was indeed Rodriguez. But she insists they only talked on the phone.
“It’s the truth,” she told us, adding that they “had never been physical … never had anything. Just an acquaintance. “And,” he never physically cheated on his fiancée with me, “she said, adding that the exchanges were” innocent. ”
Sources close to Rodriguez went even further and told the LeCroy Post: “He does not know this woman.”
Page Six exclusively reported on Friday that Rodriguez, 45, and Lopez, 51, were separated.
The stars stayed awake all night and talked after our report came, sources told us, and they issued a vague statement that morning, saying, ‘All the reports are inaccurate. We work through some things. ”
A-Rod then flew for Lopez on the set of her film in the Dominican Republic on Monday.
LeCroy, 30, made no comment when we reached out to her on Friday, saying she was ‘caught off guard’ with the news of the celebrity split.
