Relationship Insights from Venita on Southern Charm After Show
During the Southern Charm After Show, directly following the episode, Venita provided further illumination on her relationship with JT. She revealed that their communication ceased after a gathering hosted by Madison LeCroy and Ryan Albert, as depicted in the latest episode.
Despite this, the two managed to reconnect in the fall, reigniting their romance. Venita disclosed that she had developed profound feelings for JT but acknowledged that their breakup stemmed from feelings of betrayal. Having not spoken to JT since their fallout, she also unfollowed him on social media platforms.
“He did me dirty. And now it’s, ‘I’ll put your head on a f**king stake,'”Venita exclaimed.
Questioning Loyalty: JT’s Absence and Its Impact
Throughout their relationship, Venita stood by JT, even amid his conflicts with other cast members. However, her perception shifted when he failed to attend Madison and Ryan’s finale party. On the After Show, Venita recounted how she actively reached out to JT during the summer gathering, sharing photos of her outfit and encouraging him to join her. Despite his compliments in response, JT did not make an appearance.
“And I was just like, ‘I guess he’s just showing his true colors to me.’ I was riding for the kid, and he just didn’t show up,”Venita admitted on the After Show.
At the finale party, cast members Austen Kroll and Craig Conover voiced support for Venita and JT’s relationship, expressing hope that JT would make an effort to be present for her. Venita felt disheartened by JT’s absence, interpreting it as an indication of his true priorities. Simultaneously, an unresolved incident concerning a racially insensitive comment made by JT to his barber surfaced during the episode, leading to further complications in their relationship.
In a subsequent discussion with JT, Venita expressed disbelief that he would make such a comment, urging him to refrain from visiting the barber again. JT defended himself by stating the comment was a result of a misunderstanding communicated by Ryan. He expressed frustration regarding the situation, while Venita concluded the conversation by reaffirming her support for him.
Tensions Rise at the Party and Filming Resumes
Later, the Southern Charm cast attended another party hosted by Ryan and Madison where the barber incident was a central topic of discussion. Ryan insisted on his honesty and intention to protect Venita, as Rodrigo joined in to defend him. However, Ryan remarked that additional opinions were unwelcome.
Filming for Southern Charm resumed in January 2025, five months after the summer party. In a separate storyline, Craig met with Shep Rose and Austen Kroll to discuss his recent breakup with Paige. He shared that their Thanksgiving together went well, but a few weeks later, Paige reached out to talk about their relationship.
Craig sensed Paige intended to end their three-year relationship during this calm conversation. She expressed the need to focus on herself and regain control over her life, ultimately leading to the decision to part ways. Craig took the news with understanding and chose to confide in Shep and Austen, as he trusted their judgment. He intended to wait to announce the breakup until Paige discussed it on her podcast, which he felt was respectful.
Notably, Paige had previously asked Craig for an engagement ring but later advised him to hold off, leaving Craig to ponder whether this indicated doubts on her part regarding the future.
