Taylor Ann Green isn't holding back when it comes to her ex Shep Rose.
On the Southern Charm After Show, Taylor sounded off on Shep's decision to gift Sienna Evans a shark tooth necklace — the same thing he gifted her when they were dating — on Season 10, Episode 13 of Southern Charm. The former Miss Bahamas showed up to a group outing wearing the accessory, setting the scene for an awkward dinner.
Taylor Ann Green reacts to Shep Rose's shark necklace
Taylor, who is currently dating Gaston Rojas, revealed that prior to the dinner where Sienna wore the necklace, she had been informed that Shep gave Sienna a token of his love. "I immediately go — 'cause the only piece of jewelry that Shep's ever given me was a shark tooth necklace from Foxy Fossils," she shared.
Though Shep clarified multiple times that Sienna's necklace is technically different since it features a megalodon tooth instead of a Great White, Taylor is still weirded out by it all.
"What's funny is that there's a picture of me modeling the megalodon that she's wearing," Taylor revealed, to which Rodrigo Reyes exclaimed, "Ay, por favor!"
When asked by Rodrigo if she would've reacted differently had the necklace been from Cartier or Tiffany's, Taylor said, "I would be shocked if he even knew what Tiffany's was."
Craig Conover and Madison LeCroy also noted that Shep isn't the type to buy flashy gifts, as he doesn't live an extremely lavish lifestyle, so he was trying in his own way. "God, he was so excited to give it to her, too," Craig said.
Shep defends gifting Sienna the megalodon necklace
Though multiple cast members argued that it was in poor taste to give Sienna a similar gift to the one he gave Taylor, Shep is standing by his decision. "The girl that sells them is a good friend of mine, she's from the Bahamas, and it's a shark tooth necklace. It doesn't mean anything," he said.
Of course, he said, it doesn't hurt that he "got a good deal."
Newcomer Molly O'Connell, who has a small crush on Shep, said it was a "cute" gift but also acknowledged it's "a little awkward to buy the same f---ing necklace."
Fans got to see a different side to Shep as he dated Sienna on this season of Southern Charm. In past relationships, the 44-year-old was not as emotionally open with his partners, including Taylor, so his gift and soppy text to Sienna was a big change.
And though his fellow cast members said that Shep's texts to Sienna were "cringy," Shep said in a Feb. 21 Instagram Story that he doesn't regret showing a softer side of himself on TV.
"It sucks. It’s such a helpless feeling, but here’s the deal… I have to be honest. I have to come at it with authenticity and realness, so that’s what I did and it sucked. But it was what was happening and it was a tough situation," he continued.
