'Southern Charm' Star Shep Rose Rips Lindsey Graham, Says Senator Is Gay
By Ryan Naumann on October 27, 2020 at 8:31 AM EDT
"Southern Charm" star Shep Rose is calling Senator Lindsey Graham out over the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett and accusing him of hiding his homosexuality.
Last night, Lindsey tweet out his excitement that Amy became the 115th Supreme Court Justice. She was confirmed after 52 Senators voted in her favor following a nasty couple of weeks. The South Carolina Senator, who has recently become BFF's with Trump and is currently fighting to keep his Senate seat, had his social media team tweet out, "JUSTICE Amy Coney Barrett #Confirmed."
The message didn't sit well with Shep, who is a resident of South Carolina himself.
Now she can decide against gay people like you. And you’ll go ahead and have clandestine same sex relationships while betraying good and decent and amazing openly gay people.
The irony is thicker than your boyfriend. https://t.co/oXbwewyPTn

Shep retweet Lindsey's message with a fiery response. He wrote directly to the Senator about Amy's confirmation. In his note, Shep accused Lindsey of being in the closet and having his own boyfriend. The reality star ripped the Senator by saying he "betrayed" the LGBTQ+ community with his actions.

"Thanks Shep for Using your platform!" said one excited follower. Many discussed the gay rumors that had surrounded Lindsey for years. The message boards are full of alleged stories involving the Senator.

A ton of "Southern Charm" fans showered Shep with praise for his epic shade towards Lindsey. One jokingly asked, "Should @ShepRose replace Tinsley on #rhony and put all of those girls in check with this energy?! Hahah New York has an open spot!."
Shep is currently on vacation with his costars Austen Kroll and Craig Conover. The trio head down to Bermuda for a little fishing. Shep shared a photo of them drinking captioned, "We went fishing. Inshore instead of offshore because of inclement weather and the fact there wasn’t enough Dramamine in all of @bermuda for @caconover and @krollthewarriorking and now we brought our meager but tasty haul to @swizzle_inn and they were kind enough to prepare it for us. We haven’t stopped needling each other and laughing for 2 days. And we still got a few to go. ??"
Ok, Shep. I see you. pic.twitter.com/356D8zyDzg

As The Blast previously reported, Shep isn't the only "Southern Charm" star-making headlines. His costar Kathryn Dennis is currently battling it out with her ex, Thomas Ravenel.
All About The Tea broke the story of the alleged custody battle. Thomas reportedly had his legal team fire off an emergency custody proposal to Kathryn. They claim to have a witness who says they saw Kathryn do drugs around their kids, Kensie and Saint.
He is reportedly gearing up for another custody battle with Kathryn.
