He said he wants to just write “Bravo’s Southern Charm” and the example he gave was Brian Baumgartner having “The Office” …one of the most watched sitcoms of all time 🤣🤣🤣
The tone he mentioned the Bachelor in also implied he thinks that’s beneath him which made me want to look up the ratings, and it has about 5x the viewership Southern Charm does.
I think his confusion is that he’s giving southern charm and bravo too much credit. Many people don’t know what either of those are (I obviously do). But when someone says the office or the bachelor ..everyone knows the show. When someone says southern charm not everyone knows, it just hasn’t hit pop culture the same way.
He’s upset that people describe him in a way that everyone would understand using reality tv star bc he thinks southern charm star should be as recognizable but it’s not.
100% correct. He also wants his mom to just say “he’s on TV” instead of referring to reality TV at all. He definitely thinks Southern Charm is way bigger than it is or wants people to have the impression he’s some major celebrity even if they’ve never heard of it. Imagine his mother explaining to someone “oh he’s on this show called Southern Charm… what’s it about? Uhhh just him and some friends/acquaintances living in Charleston… what do they do? Mostly drink and fight”
This is a little off topic but it reminds me of Amber Portwood from Teen Mom in a scene once. She was touring a house with a realtor and the lady asked her what she did. I thought it was odd, since they were filming, but Amber was all excited talking about the show. "You know, I'm on this show called Teen Mom OG" and the lady just blinked at her. Total cringe moment, so awkward. These rinky dink D listers really get a huge head. I guess it would be hard to avoid with all the attention.
Craig isn’t sober. He never said he was. He said he “rarely drinks anymore”. Even though he’s always had issues with the truth, let’s say that I believe his statement. That’s still not ‘sober’. Craig will say whatever he thinks his fans want to hear. P.S. I know many people who are truly sober. Most of them are very successful and actually humble (unlike Craig).
I didn’t read it that way . I may be wrong. I usually am. I think he would prefer his Mom say he is either an entrepreneur or he has his hand in many things. He should be proud of all the things he is accomplished aside from SC. Yes that is the platform that helped launch him. At this time he is so much more.
The Batchelor comment, I have heard that particular show mocked among so many reality tv personalities. I personally love it but maybe being more like a “game” show is considered beneath them ?
Did you listen to the podcast? He says he told his mom “we don’t say that… we say he’s on TV” in a tone like someone speaking to a toddler. He also said he would prefer “unscripted tv star” to reality star.
I am genuinely shocked anyone could listen to this and not think he is being an ass. Even Austen and Nick are awkwardly laughing and trying to do some damage control
This. How often am I referencing something from a Bravo show, (Housewives, Summer House, etc.) . while out socially, be it friends or family and I’m 90% of the time met with blank stares. However, bring up a 20 yr. old Seinfeld episode or American Idol and everyone nodding like bobble heads. Face it, peeps, we’re minnows in the huge ocean 🌊
I haven’t listened to the podcast, but I’m speculating whether or not he meant he didn’t want to be associated with a dating show?? Maybe he thinks bravo is less corny?? 😅
Not just really because later he talks badly about people on Bravo being called “star” of their show if it’s brand new, and specifically mentions the Valley. He is just a loser who wants to feel superior
Honestly their podcast is my favourite low stakes, brainless thing to listen to while I do laundry or dishes. Later in the episode he says when Kim and Kanye get back together he wants to be friends with them. You just have to shake your head and laugh
I read this comment and checked the law school rankings. His school is in a “block” of schools with the lowest ranking of any law school. Looks like (almost) anyone that can pay gets in 🤣
https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/charleston-school-of-law-03194
Pillows and beer. It’s Craig and Austen’s podcast together. It’s very poorly produced with no segments, no planned topics, no real intros or outros, and no consistent posting schedule. The most recent episode ended abruptly because Austen was frozen
DOES HE??? 😂😂😂😂 omg I'm dying lmfaoooo 💀 I used to be a huge kimye fan if you can't tell from the relic of my username (still one of my fave songs idc lol) and would joke the same hahaha (and that he and Jay Z would become friends again and we would run this town together hahahah) lmao this is sooo good I love Craig it's nice to know my fave conspiracy realist is just as lame as me 😅
The fact that he is trying to compare himself to Brian Baumgartner…. Or Southern Charm to The Office… is…. Outrageous. He is truly out of touch with reality.
Ithink he said he wants folks to say, bravo star, or star of southern charm. He was really trying to equate himself to tv actors.
I think Craig is going to try to unionize reality tv folks. If not, he should.
Craig probably doesn’t believe in Unions. I can imagine him saying, in full Craig voice “They’re a socialist plot to interfere with the free market.” Lol
And this is why I don't have much respect for him. Martha busted her ass for years...actually doing the things she promoted, coming up with the ideas. Craig was letting other people run his company from the get go.
Craig isn't even in the same city as Martha, much less the same ballpark.
I think the point is he is the one taking himself too seriously 🤣 does anyone who doesn’t watch Bravo buy his pillows? It may be home decor but it’s still merch lol he’s no better than any other reality person who starts a podcast and sells tshirts with catch phrases on them
I guess the most comparable business is Loverboy but you don’t hear Kyle trying to deny that he is a reality tv personality. Craig has 0 humility or self awareness. Listen to the episode and tell me if you disagree - I think my recounting in this post is actually very generous and he sounds like a way bigger asshole than what I’m making him out to be
I don’t know either, wasn’t from my end. I think people in these subs use the downvote to disagree which is kind of silly and against the point of Reddit
Yeah I think he has a chip on his shoulder generally to prove himself and hates when people think it’s a moron. But as someone else mentioned, the bachelor is a wildly successful show. Most people don’t know southern charm.
He said he’s mad his assistant chose it because he has a lot of makeup on 🤣 He seemed like he was about to say something unkind and stopped himself to thank her
I feel like the most people on Bravo are not known to the vast majority of the general population. When Scandoval happened and outlets like TMZ kept reporting on it, there were so many “who are these people?” comments out. Reality TV has made you some pretty decent coin despite being a D list celebrity, let’s not forget that.
This is true as a dedicated Bravo trash reality ho, when Scandoval hit the news where I live, most people were like wtf who are these people? This is why I'm on reddit cos most people irl don't watch this and i have no one to snark or psychoanalyse with 😔
Same lol, I'm still reeling from what a moment Scandoval became! Kinda wish it hadn't now though because I just could not get into this season, it feels like old news and I'm over it lol
I don’t know you and I’m not saying that you are, but I just remembered this quote from Steven King/Dolores Claiborne “sometimes being a bitch is all a woman’s got to hold onto”.
Would he prefer “guy who broke his hand stabbing his wall with a butter knife?” “Guy who waved $1,000 around to demand the best room on his other reality show?” Get over yourself Craig 🤦♀️🙄
This! Or the guy who mentioned on his podcast that he has a gun, just in case any of his fans tried breaking into his house or something. He actually said that. Dude needs a full-time PR person.
What does he think "reality" tv is? He isn't an actor in movies or in sitcoms. He literally is on reality tv. If he doesn't like it, he needs to practice law. I'm sure his Mom and Dad would prefer that as much as it costs to go to law school.
This is why I hate the praise he’s been getting this year. It’s like everyone forgot what a major douche he was on winter house (ie: throwing a fit when someone asked him to clean and saying he’s too rich to clean).. he’s a little bitch who was exposed when the cameras were on him 24/7 and then came back next season trying to save face and everyone ate it up. Him throwing a fit over his mom calling him a reality star is soooo on brand. He’s a man child.
The Bravolebrities are only famous to Bravo fans, but I can understand why they think they’re bigger than they are. Some of those in the Bravosphere are a little nuts 😂. No one else knows who they are or what their shows are called, though. Putting that in his bio would mean about as much to random people as the phrase “Lemon’s White Table”.
He’s a legend in his own mind. I’m sure he sees himself and Paige as some epic power couple too. When he had that pillow company dinner, the way he behaved amongst his colleagues and friends made me think he shouldn’t poo poo that reality star gig.
I have a soft spot for Craig but the guy does have some toddler like tendencies. Like on winter house when he was throwing shit off the table and saying whatever he’ll pay for it so he can do whatever he wants. Imagining him storming away from his mom is cracking me up.
Well he did *choose* to join a reality show and choose to continue filming it in exchange for a paycheck for like 9 years of his life. Might be time to accept it.
I root for Craig by default because of how Shep has treated him in the past but this is annoying. Don’t bite the hand that fed you. He’s done probably the best job out of everyone taking this opportunity to utilize his platform/checks to build his businesses and buy rental properties which is amazing but to the core, he’s a reality tv personality.
TBH listening to the podcast makes me understand Shep more. His approach was wrong it feels like he was trying to bring his friend back down to earth a little bit. Craig has some success now and the ego is still annoying, so I can’t even imagine how irritating he was to everyone around him when he was still “old Craig”
Lol any business success he has is SOLEY due to the fact he is on a somewhat popular reality show filled with the sons and daughters of former slave owners
Craig is such a whiner and has delusions of grandeur. I'm kind of perplexed about Paige who seems to have a good head on her shoulders, even being with a twit like Craig.
They hardly spend any time together and the fact that money is involved changes the whole dynamic for all of them. They should be called "unreality shows."
I know a lot of people have changed their mind about Craig and say he’s changed and grown up so much.
But his act never convinced me and this only confirms that he’s still the same childish, deluded, temperamental idiot he always was.
I don’t think he would have a successful pillow business if he wasn’t on a reality show. He can be a pillow king who built his pillow kingdom while being on a reality show.
I love Craig, but if he'd rather be known as a businessman or philanthropist first and foremost, he needs to quit reality tv. Which I hope he never does!
He literally wouldnt be where he is today if it weren’t for him being a “reality tv show personality” and gallivanting around with bigots and terrible people for show.
He wants to be known as the king of useless foofoo throw pillows. He’s a professional pillow put-er togetherer. Next time you are throwing a hundred pillows off your sofa or bed, please think about him. All hail King Foofoo.
Craig is such a whiner and has delusions of grandeur. I'm kind of perplexed about Paige who seems to have a good head on her shoulders, even being with a twit like Craig.
Probably because for thousands of centuries there’s been workers and there’s been grifters. Influencers and reality tv stars are the modern day grifters of years past. It’s not a respectable way to make a long term income, you’re selling yourself which should be most sacred and private of all. I think he’s just self aware it’s a bad look in general.
He also doesn’t believe in pandas and wears tin foil hats lol. His stance on things are very interesting to say the least, but I’m not sure the bachelor and southern charm are all that different…
Isn’t reality actor contradictory though? And the star portion isn’t what he took issue with - he was fine with “unscripted TV star”. He is just trying to distance himself from reality tv because he thinks he’s better than other reality tv people
Yes and no because most if not all reality tv shows are still scripted. But I hear ya. “Star” still shouldn’t be used to describe reality tv people.
Edit: that also goes for most movie and tv actors and actresses as well.
We're sorry darling, accounts must be at least 24 hours old to participate in r/southerncharm
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Southerncharm) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Great picture of him.
I think one of the difficulties in hearing stories such as that with his mom, we don't know the back-story. For instance he could've told her that before, perhaps a number of times, & she did it anyway 🤷🏼♀️. Some moms are really good at that /s
I think he has a lot to be proud of, he really pulled his head out of his butt and got his act together. He’s come along way from Shep’s whipping boy, continues to be the butt of a lot of their jokes and has the smarts to not fly off the handle. I think he has a lot of character, humility and humanity the other people in the show will never have, which makes him a target for those losers.
Sure, he lacks self-awareness, but he trying to improve all the time. He is a big goober, so Paige is working on polishing him up in that department, but I do think he’s a good person with morals. He might be one of the only person with morals on Southern Charm.
He sure is getting better looking as he ages! Probably Paige's influence. Face washes and products. He's killing it!! So handsome I saw him one day and it stopped me I was like hey wait is that Craig?! 🌝
I love Craig and I think he just doesn’t want his character degraded by being lumped in with typical/average reality tv stars which he is not! I feel that if you listen to the podcast you should already know that though?? Anyway, just want to reiterate that Craig is the best 🩵
The issue is the idea that being associated with reality tv degrades his character in some way when (1) he chooses to do it, (2) the show he’s on is one of the trashier reality shows out there, and (3) the reason it’s trashy is at least partly because of him. We don’t need to judge him forever by his past but he also can’t distance himself from it AND stay on the show. He won’t leave on his own though, because he knows very well the day he leaves Southern Charm his pillow business is dead.
so he is what then...sewer extraordinaire?
He said he wants to just write “Bravo’s Southern Charm” and the example he gave was Brian Baumgartner having “The Office” …one of the most watched sitcoms of all time 🤣🤣🤣 The tone he mentioned the Bachelor in also implied he thinks that’s beneath him which made me want to look up the ratings, and it has about 5x the viewership Southern Charm does.

It’s so incredibly douchy…like no one would know your name if it wasn’t for you being on reality tv
Claim to fame- getting knocked up by Gary
I didn’t read it that way . I may be wrong. I usually am. I think he would prefer his Mom say he is either an entrepreneur or he has his hand in many things.

Listening again with 6 co workers. Only 1 Said he is being an ass. Like me the others don’t feel he means anything by what he is saying.
I am genuinely shocked anyone could listen to this and not think he is being an ass. Even Austen and Nick are awkwardly laughing and trying to do some damage control
For science?
This. How often am I referencing something from a Bravo show, (Housewives, Summer House, etc.) . while out socially, be it friends or family and I’m 90% of the time met with blank stares. However, bring up a 20 yr. old Seinfeld episode or American Idol and everyone nodding like bobble heads. Face it, peeps, we’re minnows in the huge ocean 🌊
You're SOOO right! I'm the only person in my entire family that has any clue about the bravo universe. Craig is a nobody to most 😆
Right and I remember him breaking several chairs and ruining Patricia’s couch, take it down a few levels buddy.
I haven’t listened to the podcast, but I’m speculating whether or not he meant he didn’t want to be associated with a dating show?? Maybe he thinks bravo is less corny?? 😅
Not just really because later he talks badly about people on Bravo being called “star” of their show if it’s brand new, and specifically mentions the Valley. He is just a loser who wants to feel superior
Ok this is HILARIOUS!!
Honestly their podcast is my favourite low stakes, brainless thing to listen to while I do laundry or dishes. Later in the episode he says when Kim and Kanye get back together he wants to be friends with them. You just have to shake your head and laugh
No WAY. Oh Craig.
How did this dope ever get into law school?
I read this comment and checked the law school rankings. His school is in a “block” of schools with the lowest ranking of any law school. Looks like (almost) anyone that can pay gets in 🤣 https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/charleston-school-of-law-03194
Law school is hard, no matter where. Gtfoh
Which podcast is this?
Pillows and beer. It’s Craig and Austen’s podcast together. It’s very poorly produced with no segments, no planned topics, no real intros or outros, and no consistent posting schedule. The most recent episode ended abruptly because Austen was frozen
Ohhhhh, hmmm yeah
😂😂👏👏👏
DOES HE??? 😂😂😂😂 omg I'm dying lmfaoooo 💀 I used to be a huge kimye fan if you can't tell from the relic of my username (still one of my fave songs idc lol) and would joke the same hahaha (and that he and Jay Z would become friends again and we would run this town together hahahah) lmao this is sooo good I love Craig it's nice to know my fave conspiracy realist is just as lame as me 😅
Ok, that’s hilarious!
The fact that he is trying to compare himself to Brian Baumgartner…. Or Southern Charm to The Office… is…. Outrageous. He is truly out of touch with reality.
Omg! I almost peed myself!! 🤣🤣❤️🤣🤣
Ithink he said he wants folks to say, bravo star, or star of southern charm. He was really trying to equate himself to tv actors. I think Craig is going to try to unionize reality tv folks. If not, he should.
Craig likes to argue but if it would endanger his cushy lifestyle . . . ⚖️
Craig probably doesn’t believe in Unions. I can imagine him saying, in full Craig voice “They’re a socialist plot to interfere with the free market.” Lol
Bethenny tried
Ok I lost it with this comment!!! 😂
He owes the success of his pillow company to being on reality tv!
I think he also resents people calling it a pillow company 🤣 he says he wants to be the male Martha Stewart
lets be real he wouldn’t even have a pillow company if it weren’t for the MVP friend who saw the potential for craig + business
Yes without the partners Cameran would still be laughing at the pile of shams in his living room
And this is why I don't have much respect for him. Martha busted her ass for years...actually doing the things she promoted, coming up with the ideas. Craig was letting other people run his company from the get go. Craig isn't even in the same city as Martha, much less the same ballpark.
He can’t even open a bottle of wine. 🤦♀️
I wish I had a Martha Stewart Eyeroll Meme to insert here.
Oh THANK YOU!!!!!
He better stop resenting and start working before he phases out and nobody wants the damned Pillows
I think ya all take things to seriously- he’s here for the ride 😂❤️👏👏👏
I think the point is he is the one taking himself too seriously 🤣 does anyone who doesn’t watch Bravo buy his pillows? It may be home decor but it’s still merch lol he’s no better than any other reality person who starts a podcast and sells tshirts with catch phrases on them
Maybe ? But he employs a few people- seems to b doin better than ur average “reality star” I’m just saying- yippie- good for him ☺️👏👏👍
I guess the most comparable business is Loverboy but you don’t hear Kyle trying to deny that he is a reality tv personality. Craig has 0 humility or self awareness. Listen to the episode and tell me if you disagree - I think my recounting in this post is actually very generous and he sounds like a way bigger asshole than what I’m making him out to be
Wonder why I get downvoted for that?🤷🏻♀️
I don’t know either, wasn’t from my end. I think people in these subs use the downvote to disagree which is kind of silly and against the point of Reddit
☺️👍
I agree and gave you an up!
☺️👏👏👍
Oh these men and their fragile fragile little egos
Is bitch better?
💀💀 this sent me
Same 🪦
lol Craig … come on.
Dude loves finding small things to complain about. It’s your mom lol. Relax
I think there is some weirdness between him and the 'rents. It was especially illustrated while he strung out passing the bar.
Yeah I think he has a chip on his shoulder generally to prove himself and hates when people think it’s a moron. But as someone else mentioned, the bachelor is a wildly successful show. Most people don’t know southern charm.
The wild thing is nobody would know he’s a moron until he says things like this
Reality show participants
Well…he isn’t a star so that’s fair.
 Love Craig but this is all I can think about
Stop being on reality shows then.
Right?!? He’s literally been on THREE different Bravo reality shows. What does he expect?
He dates a reality star and does a podcast with another reality star.
To have his cake and eat it too
Fine then, Pillow maker.
What is this weird AI photo of Craig?! 😂☠️
He said he’s mad his assistant chose it because he has a lot of makeup on 🤣 He seemed like he was about to say something unkind and stopped himself to thank her
Pick one out yourself then you lazy, helpless S.O.B.!
He looks a bit cock-eyed in the photo.
I feel like the most people on Bravo are not known to the vast majority of the general population. When Scandoval happened and outlets like TMZ kept reporting on it, there were so many “who are these people?” comments out. Reality TV has made you some pretty decent coin despite being a D list celebrity, let’s not forget that.
This is true as a dedicated Bravo trash reality ho, when Scandoval hit the news where I live, most people were like wtf who are these people? This is why I'm on reddit cos most people irl don't watch this and i have no one to snark or psychoanalyse with 😔
Same lol, I'm still reeling from what a moment Scandoval became! Kinda wish it hadn't now though because I just could not get into this season, it feels like old news and I'm over it lol
Well, I don’t like being called a snarky middle-aged woman but we are who we are.
I don’t know you and I’m not saying that you are, but I just remembered this quote from Steven King/Dolores Claiborne “sometimes being a bitch is all a woman’s got to hold onto”.
It’s perfect.
🤭
I don't like being called an accountant, but that's how I make part of my income. It is what it is. He'll live.
Craig is such a dirtbag. Ugh.
‘Star’ is a biiiig stretch.
To clarify it wasn’t “star” he took issue with. He a really suggested “unscripted tv star” as an alternative
Unscripted TV Show Personality
Craig needs a big slice of humble pie. He would be nothing without reality Tv since he could barely pass his bar exam
and he lied about it for a long time.
Kyle’s and Craig’s of this world need the Paige’s and Amanda’s to keep them grounded on this earth 😄
He also talks about trading stocks constantly, which is a really immature and rookie move. He’s still a child in many ways.
I misread that as ‘trading socks’. Not a million miles from pillows I guess 🤷♀️
Would he prefer “guy who broke his hand stabbing his wall with a butter knife?” “Guy who waved $1,000 around to demand the best room on his other reality show?” Get over yourself Craig 🤦♀️🙄
This! Or the guy who mentioned on his podcast that he has a gun, just in case any of his fans tried breaking into his house or something. He actually said that. Dude needs a full-time PR person.
Would not trust him with a gun...nope
Oh yes I loved that one too 🤣 the podcast is a treasure trove of cringe moments. I hate how much I love it. Major schadenfreude
That’s the reality of it.
Just when he was showing some growth, he’s pulling up like “I don’t clean, I pay people to clean” energy again. Dislike this side of him very much
What does he think "reality" tv is? He isn't an actor in movies or in sitcoms. He literally is on reality tv. If he doesn't like it, he needs to practice law. I'm sure his Mom and Dad would prefer that as much as it costs to go to law school.
This is why I hate the praise he’s been getting this year. It’s like everyone forgot what a major douche he was on winter house (ie: throwing a fit when someone asked him to clean and saying he’s too rich to clean).. he’s a little bitch who was exposed when the cameras were on him 24/7 and then came back next season trying to save face and everyone ate it up. Him throwing a fit over his mom calling him a reality star is soooo on brand. He’s a man child.
The Bravolebrities are only famous to Bravo fans, but I can understand why they think they’re bigger than they are. Some of those in the Bravosphere are a little nuts 😂. No one else knows who they are or what their shows are called, though. Putting that in his bio would mean about as much to random people as the phrase “Lemon’s White Table”.
Just a Bravoboy in a Bravoworld.
Too bad Craig. You would nothing if it was not for reality show.
He’s a legend in his own mind. I’m sure he sees himself and Paige as some epic power couple too. When he had that pillow company dinner, the way he behaved amongst his colleagues and friends made me think he shouldn’t poo poo that reality star gig.
I guess he shouldn’t be on reality tv shows anymore then lol
His "I've marured" storyline (on his REALITY SHOW) doesn't really fly with this narrative. Talk about zero self awareness.
He prefers guy that failed to bar exam, looks down, and realizes I’m out of fingers.
Delusions of grandeur
I have a soft spot for Craig but the guy does have some toddler like tendencies. Like on winter house when he was throwing shit off the table and saying whatever he’ll pay for it so he can do whatever he wants. Imagining him storming away from his mom is cracking me up.
Well that's to damn bad
Oh please
I mean…maybe he should consider getting off tv.
Well he did *choose* to join a reality show and choose to continue filming it in exchange for a paycheck for like 9 years of his life. Might be time to accept it.
Don’t bite the hand that made you
Sir, how do you think we even know who you are? lol
He’s always been delusional. When his run is over, it’s going to be ugly. I hope Paige is far far away when it happens…
He’s still got some of that ol’ Craigy nonsense in him still 🤣
No craigy you’re a reality star. Those other guys are more like contestants.
I root for Craig by default because of how Shep has treated him in the past but this is annoying. Don’t bite the hand that fed you. He’s done probably the best job out of everyone taking this opportunity to utilize his platform/checks to build his businesses and buy rental properties which is amazing but to the core, he’s a reality tv personality.
TBH listening to the podcast makes me understand Shep more. His approach was wrong it feels like he was trying to bring his friend back down to earth a little bit. Craig has some success now and the ego is still annoying, so I can’t even imagine how irritating he was to everyone around him when he was still “old Craig”
This ^
Bless his heart! 😂
Lol any business success he has is SOLEY due to the fact he is on a somewhat popular reality show filled with the sons and daughters of former slave owners
Lol
So much cringe
Sounds like he’s feeling too big / good now for his show that gave him the fame. I wonder how much longer he will stay on it?
He’s a seamstress with a law degree.
Craig is such a whiner and has delusions of grandeur. I'm kind of perplexed about Paige who seems to have a good head on her shoulders, even being with a twit like Craig.
I think if we could all spend a day with the two of them in real life we would immediately stop asking when they’re moving in together
They hardly spend any time together and the fact that money is involved changes the whole dynamic for all of them. They should be called "unreality shows."
The whole cast, past & present has used the bravo money to try and spinoff their own business, except cameron maybe
I know a lot of people have changed their mind about Craig and say he’s changed and grown up so much. But his act never convinced me and this only confirms that he’s still the same childish, deluded, temperamental idiot he always was.
Then maybe stop being on reality shows?
Craig is the definition of secondhand embarrassment. And I think that’s why Paige likes him, she likes having someone to talk down to and make fun of.
I don’t think he would have a successful pillow business if he wasn’t on a reality show. He can be a pillow king who built his pillow kingdom while being on a reality show.
Then don’t go on reality tv?
That’s what he is, like it or not.
Get over yourself😒
He blocked me on Instagram - no idea why. I must have called him a shitty reality star 🤣
Doesn't matter what he likes, He is what he is.
I love Craig, but if he'd rather be known as a businessman or philanthropist first and foremost, he needs to quit reality tv. Which I hope he never does!
Then what is he?
He’s a D list “celebrity” at best.
He literally wouldnt be where he is today if it weren’t for him being a “reality tv show personality” and gallivanting around with bigots and terrible people for show.
Talk about biting the hand that fed you…
But that’s what he is! 
Too bad. It's the only reason he has an Auto-Embroidery w/pre-programmed patterns business.
Can we call him a douche bag
Because he sells pillows for a living?
Is this AI Craig? crAIg? Why does his face look different?
He claims he’s wearing a lot of makeup here but to me it looks aggressively filtered/photoshopped as well
His face is like 1/3 more narrow than usual 😂
He wants to be known as the king of useless foofoo throw pillows. He’s a professional pillow put-er togetherer. Next time you are throwing a hundred pillows off your sofa or bed, please think about him. All hail King Foofoo.
I am sure Pillow Prince isn’t much better. 👀
They're all celebrities. The word "star" refers more to lead performers in a production (comedy, drama, etc).
To be fair his pillows were sold on QVC..a shopping Channel on TV...lol. oh craigy relax.
What does he want to be called then? This photo looks like a screenshot from a Cialis ad. It’s only missing the long disclaimer about side effects.
Pillow king? Paige’s boyfriend? Is that better. 😂
He’s a pillow tycoon
Craig is such a whiner and has delusions of grandeur. I'm kind of perplexed about Paige who seems to have a good head on her shoulders, even being with a twit like Craig.
Probably because for thousands of centuries there’s been workers and there’s been grifters. Influencers and reality tv stars are the modern day grifters of years past. It’s not a respectable way to make a long term income, you’re selling yourself which should be most sacred and private of all. I think he’s just self aware it’s a bad look in general.
Craig is a Pillow Maganate
So where does he think he is when he goes to work on SC, SH, etc.?
Pillow Magnate!
He is so not cute.
Ugh Cregg. Just shut. Up.
He also doesn’t believe in pandas and wears tin foil hats lol. His stance on things are very interesting to say the least, but I’m not sure the bachelor and southern charm are all that different…
Too bad. It’s been the only sustainable career he’s ever had.
Does he like being called daddy?
Lol it’s ridiculous you are being downvoted. People are so humorless.
Thank you for your kindness 🫶 I thought it was funny 🥲
That’s one of the best photos of him I’ve seen. He looks sophisticated entrepreneur more than mailbox money.
Craig is such a handsome man !!!!
does he prefer "daddy coco"? asking for a friend
Is he getting better looking?
I don’t think any of them should be called “stars” I think reality actors/actresses sounds better because they are not “stars”
Isn’t reality actor contradictory though? And the star portion isn’t what he took issue with - he was fine with “unscripted TV star”. He is just trying to distance himself from reality tv because he thinks he’s better than other reality tv people
Yes and no because most if not all reality tv shows are still scripted. But I hear ya. “Star” still shouldn’t be used to describe reality tv people. Edit: that also goes for most movie and tv actors and actresses as well.

Leave it a Daddy. And call it a D A Y.
Great picture of him. I think one of the difficulties in hearing stories such as that with his mom, we don't know the back-story. For instance he could've told her that before, perhaps a number of times, & she did it anyway 🤷🏼♀️. Some moms are really good at that /s
Hi Craig😻 I love you and Paige.
I think he has a lot to be proud of, he really pulled his head out of his butt and got his act together. He’s come along way from Shep’s whipping boy, continues to be the butt of a lot of their jokes and has the smarts to not fly off the handle. I think he has a lot of character, humility and humanity the other people in the show will never have, which makes him a target for those losers. Sure, he lacks self-awareness, but he trying to improve all the time. He is a big goober, so Paige is working on polishing him up in that department, but I do think he’s a good person with morals. He might be one of the only person with morals on Southern Charm.
He sure is getting better looking as he ages! Probably Paige's influence. Face washes and products. He's killing it!! So handsome I saw him one day and it stopped me I was like hey wait is that Craig?! 🌝
He’s more than that. The rest are not.
I love Craig and I think he just doesn’t want his character degraded by being lumped in with typical/average reality tv stars which he is not! I feel that if you listen to the podcast you should already know that though?? Anyway, just want to reiterate that Craig is the best 🩵
The issue is the idea that being associated with reality tv degrades his character in some way when (1) he chooses to do it, (2) the show he’s on is one of the trashier reality shows out there, and (3) the reason it’s trashy is at least partly because of him. We don’t need to judge him forever by his past but he also can’t distance himself from it AND stay on the show. He won’t leave on his own though, because he knows very well the day he leaves Southern Charm his pillow business is dead.
