The latest episode of Southern Charm Season 8 featured Venita Aspen trying to make amends with Olivia Flowers.

The two have been having issues since Naomi Olindo’s party, where Venita attacked Olivia when the latter was trying to understand why everyone was hating Kathryn Dennis. Again at Venita and Madison LeCroy’s joint birthday party, Olivia was called “racist” by the birthday girl. The two couldn’t sort things out between them, and thus Venita called Olivia in Episode 6 to have a chat and make amends.

When she was asking Olivia whether she would like to go out for a drink or coffee to talk, Madison was seen calling Venita. So, the latter told Olivia that Madison was calling and that she would put the call on hold; Olivia mentioned an oyster party at her house and that she was not invited.

Fans were upset with the Southern Charm newcomer as she invited everyone to her party, including Austen Kroll’s ex-girlfriend Madison LeCroy. But she didn’t invite Venita.


Southern Charm Fans’ reaction to Olivia disinviting Venita

Fans have slammed Venita Aspen in the previous episode for calling Olivia Flowers “racist.” However, they didn’t expect that the latter would not invite Venita to her party, where everyone else from Charleston would be in attendance.

In a phone call with Venita, Olivia said:

“So I don’t know, I’m sure you’ve heard from Madison. My family is throwing. Like an oyster party, like get-together, and I initially had everyone on that guest list. But, like, I just think it would be fake of me to have you here.”

In a confessional, Venita called Olivia’s decision “childish.” After her conversation with Olivia, she called Madison, who was surprised that Olivia disinvited Venita but asked her to attend the party.

Viewers were also confused with Olivia disinviting Venita, especially after she agreed to go on a “happy hours” with the latter. Fans called Olivia “toxic” and “nasty” for her behavior towards Venita and inviting her love interest, Austen’s ex when she knew that her presence annoyed him.

Take a look at fans’ reactions:
