Southern Charm stars Olivia Flowers and Venita Aspen’s ongoing beef divides fans after fifth instalment dived into the previous cliffhanger episode. Fans have had their say on social media.
Olivia and Venita aren’t exactly the best of friends. Long story short, Olivia showed up at the birthday bash as Venita was unaware of her presence. Of course, that didn’t sit well with her, at all.
After blaming one another for knowing each other for less than five minutes, the TV stars had an intense argument. It was also during Venita’s birthday celebration, which was joint with Madison LeCroy.
One thing after another, Madison, who was also getting the majority of the attention from the rest of the girls, was also blamed by Venita for ruining her party. The encounter had fans commenting on the row as they took sides.

The latest episode of the eighth season of Southern Charm featured one of the biggest arguments between Olivia and Venita. The two ladies ended up in a quarrel as Olivia and Kathryn Dennis showed up at Madison LeCroy and Venita’s joint birthday party.
No, Olivia didn’t show up to the party uninvited, but her presence did surprise, at least Venita. The 28-year-old was not informed by Madison that her friend turned enemy would receive an invitation to their pink-themed birthday celebration.
Of course, the dispute began after Leva Bonaparte brought up the conversation that Kathryn and Olivia should talk about their issues and solve their differences with Venita. But did it need to be on the day of Venita’s birthday?
As Venita and Olivia had a one-on-one conversation with no success, both accused each other of having known one another for five minutes. On the other hand, Venita claps back saying that she has known her for “less than five minutes”.
Leaving the conversation, they both agreed to patch up their differences in the future.
“None of this would have happened if Madison did not invite these two girls. Like, we could’ve actually had a Southern moment if she was not trying to start drama like she always does,” Venita said on the confessionary.
Fans are divided
As the tension between both starts was rising and a lot of eyebrows were lifted during the tense confrontation, Southern Charm viewers took to Twitter to share their opinions.
The argument has had fans divided, who have been defending either Olivia or Venita. Many described the situation as an awkward moment where none of the two Bravo stars were going to a conclusion, and would rather be blaming each other.
I don’t like Olivia at all, and the fact that she can’t take the word racist being spoken and says it was thrown out when it wasn’t, is ridiculous and speaks volumes of her character. She’s gaslighting and sounding like a real polite racist #southerncharm

OMG I can’t stand Venita!! She talks down to people and acts like she’s so damn entitled!! Insinuating that someone is racist is NOT ok. Quit pulling the fricken racist card!!!! I’m so team Olivia on this! She’s a strong woman who stands her ground. You go girl 🙌 #southerncharm

I think Olivia handled herself real well. I like venita but she was trying to trap her which I don’t like. She’s trying too hard this season. There’s a time and a place for real talk and it wasn’t there #SouthernCharm

Venita is blaming Madison for inviting Kathryn who is an OG and her friend. She didn't want Olivia invited either. Everyone was being very Southern and cordial as Venita just said she wanted until Leva dropped the let's get real at the table #SouthernCharm

Venita is upset that Madison gets all the attention
Two birthday girls, a joint celebration, but one wasn’t happy about getting less attention.
As two good friends, Madison and Venita celebrated their respective 31st and 28th birthday together. However, Venita was not having the best day of her life. Not only did Olivia show up, but the other birthday girl Madison seemed to have been getting the most attention of the two.
Throughout the scenes, Venita was discontent and felt left out after the girls were more focused on Madison’s recent engagement news and her stunning ring. The Bravo star wanted them to focus on their birthdays, instead.
At the end of the tense episode, Venita sat down in the confessionary and dropped the blame bomb. The Charleston native blamed Madison for ruining her party. Ouch.
However, days later, Leva Bonaparte’s visit to Venita’s home had the reality star confessing that she didn’t handle the whole drama at the birthday party very well.
