The Dramatic Reunion of Southern Charm Season 10
The highly anticipated Episode 16 of Southern Charm Season 10, featuring the reunion, aired on March 27. This episode brought cast members together to reflect on the season’s most significant moments, notably the breakup between Craig and Paige, as well as the complicated relationship dynamics between JT and Venita.
Unraveling the JT and Venita Controversy
During the reunion, Venita confronted JT regarding his assertion that she was pursuing him, clarifying that she was unaware he had a girlfriend at the time. JT countered her claims, insisting that he had already disclosed his relationship status to her in private.
Venita challenged this narrative, questioning why JT had joined her for dinner if he expected her to know about his girlfriend. The exchange became heated, and JT struggled to provide a satisfactory answer, suggesting that Venita was fully aware of the situation all along. This sparked a lively discussion among fans on social media, particularly on X.
“If Venita knew that JT had a girlfriend off camera, why did she invite him to a dinner in her house? Obviously, 2 can play this game. Why are they all jumping his throat? They are bullying him at this point. Venita is not innocent,”a fan said.
“JT and Venita… NOBODY CARES. Waste of time. Made up BS. Off the show next season,”said another.
“Venita knew he had a girlfriend and didn’t care. JT did not lead her on,”added a third.
“Venita has some nerve. JT told Venita on camera multiple times he had a girlfriend and she continued to pursue him. She asked him to be her plus one at the finale party. Give me a break. She’s no victim. Get her off this cast,”commented one.
Fan Reactions and Divided Opinions
The online audience was divided regarding the authenticity of Venita’s claims. Some fans argued that she was fully aware of JT’s relationship status, while others believed he had deceived her.
“I feel like the timeline of events that Venita and JT have shared individually just aren’t adding up. With that being said, I do agree with Venita here in the sense that JT was wrong for leading her on when he already had a girlfriend at the time,”an X user wrote.
“JT is speaking highly of Venita, but he failed to tell her he had a girlfriend,”wrote another.
“Oh JT is admitting that they dated. So he was dating two women at once, yet was so pressed about what Austen and his girlfriend had going on. Again, all of this over Peter Pettigrew is crazy,”commented one.
“Venita is trash for getting into a situationship with JT after he stated he is in a relationship. JT is also trash for dating Venita while having a girlfriend,”wrote one.
An In-Depth Look at the Reunion Discussions
During the reunion, Andy Cohen posed a question to Austen, inquiring if JT should undergo a “f*ck boy exorcism,”hinting at JT’s alleged dishonesty. Austen confirmed that JT had indeed misled Venita about his girlfriend’s existence.
Andy pressed further, questioning JT about why he made his relationship Instagram official after being involved with both women. Sally highlighted the drama surrounding JT’s girlfriend, who expressed her dismay publicly, suggesting that it would soon be apparent to fans who JT really was.
JT attempted to clarify the situation, asserting that he and his girlfriend were no longer together at the time of her negative comments. Venita recounted her side of the story, explaining that after returning from Europe in September, JT had informed her that he was no longer dating his girlfriend. This led to a flurry of dates between them.
“And then super teaser drops, and she’s in my f**king DMs calling me a gotd*mn rat.”
Venita expressed her frustration over JT’s inaction regarding his ex-girlfriend’s messages, prompting her to take a step back from the relationship. JT remarked that Venita’s week-long absence had hurt him, shocking his fellow cast members.
