Southern Charm star Salley Carson is being compared to Vanderpump Rules alum Scheana Shay. This follows an interview in which she discussed her status with Summer House OG Kyle Cooke, who just stepped out with a new woman. So, what did Salley have to say, why is she like Scheana, and who is Kyle’s latest fling? Keep reading for all of the details.
Salley Carson Seemed Obsessed With Kyle
It looked like Southern Charm star Salley Carson was obsessed with Kyle Cooke. She had already attempted to pursue her co-stars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll. Things did get hot and heavy with Austen for a time, but that fizzled out, and they are just great friends. Then, she went around the Bravoverse and had a failed dalliance with McBee Dynasty star Steven McBee Jr and West Wilson. However, it was Kyle who really caught her eye, and their romance came out during the Season 10 Summer House reunion.

He was seen out with Ava Dash and other ladies. Yet, Salley continued to pursue him and seemed very invested. At the same time, she revealed a mystery man who lived in New York. Now, Kyle was spotted at the U.S. Open with a brunette woman who was clearly not Salley or Ava. It is unclear who she is, but there is another twist. Salley Carson was on SiriusXM’s Reality Checked, where she was asked what her status was with Kyle Cooke. As it turns out, they were just friends with benefits and nothing more:
“We were never exclusive or anything. We just had fun every time we were together. I mean, the whole internet wants us to date. I mean, we have really good chemistry, and we both love to have fun.”
She did speak about her mystery man, who she said wants to be “exclusive.” However, Salley does not want someone that she has to hide, which is fair. She also added that people have referred to her as “Bravo’s mattress … and bicycle.” Yet, she does not think that title applies to her, as she is very open and does not hide who she is.

The New Scheana Shay?
After Salley Carson clarified that she and Kyle Cooke were never a thing, fans started to call her “Scheana Shay.” She had spent months, or so it seemed, gushing over Kyle. Moreover, it was alleged that he had come to Charleston to meet her family. Now, all of that means nothing, and it is very Scheana-coded. She could not be alone, and it seemed that she moved on to a new guy in the blink of an eye. Therefore, followers saw a lot of similarities between the two:
- “The whole internet wants us to date” girl where? Women like this are delusional. It’s like Scheana thinking her endless list of men she’s slept with proves her worth or something.
- She is 100% the Scheana of Southern Charm. The only one who is more annoying than her was Ashley (T Rav’s ex).
