'Southern Charm' star and 'The Bachelor' and 'Bachelor in Paradise' alum Salley Carson stops by Page Six Radio and chats with co-hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real about Nick Viall's private apology to Austen Kroll after his insensitive interview on 'The Viall Files.

“They both called him and apologized,” the “ Southern Charm ” star exclusively revealed on Page Six Radio Tuesday. “I do think there should be a public apology for sure,” she noted. “I think that it needed to be a lot bigger,” Carson continued.

I’ve been friends with him for a while and I haven’t asked . That’s something that I feel like he should bring up when he feels comfortable.” Carson, 31, also agreed with Real and Murphy that the uncomfortable moment should have been edited out of the podcast episode if the pair were truly sorry.During the uncomfortable Jan. 7 interview, Joy told Kroll, “Quickly jumping out of ‘Southern Charm,’ I’m sure we’re gonna jump right back into it, but going into your childhood, I didn’t know this about your sister passing at 9.”“It honestly kind of broke my heart for him,” Carson said of watching the interview. “I called him to see if he was OK.”“I could tell he was uncomfortable because his leg was shaking. I’ve been friends with him for a while and I haven’t asked .”Joy continued to ask more personal questions, including what age he was when the tragedy happened and if he was there when his sister fell.
