‘Southern Charm’ Recap: Olivia Flowers Reveals Thomas Ravenel Hookup
During the Southern charm meeting, Olivia Flowers confessed to having had contact Thomas Ravenel after being cornered Taylor-Ann Green.
“I’m just saying, Olivia, forgive as you would want to be forgiven,” Taylor, 29, said during Part 1 of the Season 9 reunion on Thursday, January 11, hinting that Olivia, 31, was hiding something from the group . Olivia looked at Taylor coldly before telling her, “Go ahead and say it.” You’re hanging this over my head, I want to see it. Say it!”
Host Andy Cohen tried to fill in the blanks, saying, “The implication is that she did something… with a friend and a confidante.” The cast continued watching as Taylor told Olivia about “the whole Thomas situation.”
“I just came out of university, twenty years old. Stupid. [It was a] drunken night. Just once,” Olivia admitted. “I had an appointment with T-Rav. I wanted to take it to my grave, like, who wouldn’t?
Madison LeCroy previously claimed during the 2022 Season 8 reunion that Thomas, 61, and Olivia hooked up. Olivia denied the accusation at the time, saying: ‘Do I have sex with Thomas? No, he’s like a family friend.” Taylor defended Olivia at the time, calling Madison’s accusations “so random.”
After taping the Season 8 special, Olivia Taylor told the truth. “I sat down with Taylor and said, ‘I appreciate you sticking up for me, but you need to know that something happened,'” Olivia said on Thursday’s episode, noting, “She’s the only person on earth that I told about it. And here you are, trying to use that against me.”
The Southern Charm stars can’t get enough of each other — and it’s created a dizzying web of relationships, breakups and drama. From season 1, which premiered in 2014, OG stars Craig Conover, Shep Rose, and Kathryn Dennis have been showing fans the good, the bad, and the messy parts of their romantic relationships. […]
Olivia and Taylor have since ended their friendship after Taylor kissed Olivia’s ex Austen Krol and lied about it in season 9. Taylor argued Thursday that Olivia sleeping with Thomas in the past is “the same situation” as her relationship with Austen, 36, behind everyone’s back.
Taylor claimed that Thomas’ ex-girlfriend Kathryn Dennis is a “friend and confidante” of Olivia, to whom she “lied” about the meeting. (Former costars Kathryn, 32, and Thomas split in 2016. The exes share two children. While Kathryn left the show in 2023 ahead of season 9, Thomas was fired in 2018 after being accused of sexual assault and arrested for assault and battery for an Incident from 2015.)
“I didn’t know Kathryn then. I met Kathryn after it happened,” Olivia insisted. She went on to explain that she has “no idea” if Kathryn and Thomas were still together when they hooked up, but she “didn’t believe it.”
Olivia claimed that Taylor was “sitting there chomping at the bit to use that against me,” which Taylor denied.
“Not only have you proven that you are a good friend, but you are also a real human being,” Olivia shouted at Taylor before the cast took a break. Olivia then called her former friend a “f–king c–t” as she walked off stage.
Part 2 of the Southern charm The Season 9 reunion airs on Bravo Thursday, January 18 at 8pm ET.
