Summer House: Austin Slammed For His Sunscreen Comment To Ciara

In a recent episode of Summer House, Austin Kroll from Southern Charm asked Summer House star Ciara Miller if she needed sunscreen as a Black person and fans came down hard on him for his ignorant question. Austin and Ciara met in the Bravo spinoff Winter House, where stars from Summer House and Southern Charm vacationed in a Vermont house for a few weeks. Austin and Ciara were immediately attracted to each other and pretty much coupled up the entire time they were in Winter House.

The Bravo franchises were under fire recently for their cast members saying racially ignorant comments. In a recent Summer House episode, newcomer Mya Allen got upset over microaggressions from her housemates. Fellow Summer House cast member Andrea Denver regularly brought coffee in bed for Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller but overlooked Mya when she had joined them one time. In another instance, Paige mixed up Mya and Ciara, who are both Black, about a comment one had said. It eventually started to wear on Mya and she had a conversation with the Summer House crew, to which they received it openly and promised to be more aware of her feelings.

Unfortunately for Austin, he wasn’t present during the meeting. The Southern Charm star visited the Summer House group for Lindsay Hubbard’s birthday party. While he and Ciara were sitting outside by the pool, he expressed surprise that Ciara needed sunscreen. Ciara responded by saying Black people get skin cancer too. Summer House fans were shocked at his question and urged Ciara to ditch him. Twitter use Christy Cardashian wrote, “If EVER I found Austin desirable, the SECOND he questioned why a person of color needed sunscreen I’d DRY UP.” Realhousewifeloser commented, “Austin with the absolute caucasity to ask Ciara if she wears sunscreen??? That boy is trash.”

Austin is already getting a lot of heat for playing both Ciara and Lindsay. In Winter House, things got sticky when Austin had his sights set on Ciara but it was later revealed that he and Lindsay had history together. Lindsay was hoping to build a relationship with Austin but he wanted to play the field and explore his options. While vising the Summer House crew for Lindsay’s birthday, fans saw him flirt with both Ciara and Lindsay. The conflict eventually led to a blow-up between Ciara and Summer House alum Danielle Olivera, which resulted in wine being thrown everywhere.

Many fans don’t get the appeal of Austin, often referring to him as a “Muppet mouth” and thinking of him as a man-child. However, he seems to have game and was in an on-again-off-again relationship with Southern Charm beauty Madison LeCroy for years. Austin and Madison finally called it quits in 2020 much to the relief of their Southern Charm castmates. Madison is happily engaged to Brett Randle and the two are planning their wedding. As for Austin, he seems to still be smitten with Ciara but fans are urging her to run far away from someone who is clearly clueless about the importance of a Black person needing sunscreen.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
