Southern Charm’s Craig Conover explains on-screen drinking while driving scene

After seemingly driving around with a beer can in Southern Charm Season 9, Craig Conover is trying to defend his actions. 

One of the main stars of Southern Charm is Craig Conover, who is one of the OGs of the series. The only other person who has been there since the premiere season is Shep Rose.

Craig’s current storyline in Season 9 mainly revolves around his relationship with Paige Desorbo, which hasn’t exactly been going smoothly.

Especially when you recognize the fact that he just said that if they happened to break up in the future, it wouldn’t be ‘the end of the world’, which isn’t something that you would want your partner to say.

Despite his dating troubles, there is another situation that probably needs his full attention.

What did Southern Charm’s Craig Conover do?

On December 22, Craig posted a clip of a new Southern Charm episode on his Instagram.

While he attempted to simply promote the show, it quickly went haywire because of what he was doing in the video.

In the video, he appeared to be drinking a can of beer while driving around with Paige in the car.

A fan quickly commented on the post and wrote, “They lost me at drinking and driving”.

Craig soon responded to the message to clarify what actually happened. Apparently, the drink was a non-alcoholic beverage, therefore he wasn’t breaking any legal rules.

“It’s Budweiser Zero. I always have a cooler packed with some in my car. Not sure why they cut that detail,” the reality TV star wrote back.

Nonetheless, Craig is probably going to double-check the scenes that he posts from now on.
