During Thursday’s explosive “Southern Charm” Season 9 reunion, Olivia Flowers shocked viewers by admitting to a past hookup with Thomas Ravenel. The revelation came as part of a heated argument between Flowers and her ex-best friend, Taylor Ann Green.
The dispute began when Green brought up Flowers’ past relationship with Austen Kroll, but then dropped the bombshell that Flowers had also reportedly hooked up with Ravenel. Despite Green’s attempts to imply her wrongdoings, Flowers promptly confirmed the hookup and revealed that it was a one-time occurrence that she had hoped to keep buried.
The “Southern Charm” cast and host Andy Cohen looked on in shock as Flowers divulged the details of the hookup, which occurred when she was just 20 years old and fresh out of college. Flowers went on to express her disappointment in Green for attempting to use the hookup against her, especially after Green had previously defended her.
The episode ended with Flowers walking off stage and hurling expletives at Green, expressing her frustration and disappointment with her former friend’s betrayal.
Thomas Ravenel, who was a prominent figure on the show until Season 5, has a tumultuous history with his now-ex-girlfriend and co-star Kathryn Dennis. The couple shares two children and has been embroiled in a bitter custody battle for years.
The shocking revelation has left fans of the show reeling, and it remains to be seen how the fallout from Flowers’ admission will impact the relationships within the “Southern Charm” cast.
“Southern Charm” airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
