During the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion part 2, Venita Aspen opened up about her feelings for JT.
In a confession, when she was off stage, the star said how she wouldn't mind dating her ex after their 3-year relationship came to a dramatic end. This revelation left the fans surprised at the reunion. Social media was immediately ablaze with anger, with some people criticizing her.
Considering Venita and JT's past on the show, the confession seemed particularly unexpected. The two constantly disagreed, with JT frequently questioning Venita's authenticity and loyalty, and her criticizing JT's actions. From passive-aggressive interactions to tense dining table moments, the two have had their waves of emotions. Although their conversation occasionally suggested underlying intrigue despite the conflict, few fans thought it could go romantically.
Social media was flooded with viewers reacting and criticizing Venita for still trying to make things work with TJ.
An admirer shared on X,
"At this point Venita looks weak, pathetic and desperate. Bring back Olivia! #SouthernCharm"
Another fan posted on social media,
"Venita will never be freed from the shackles of JT the short king. Admitting you still want to date him after all of that? #southerncharm"
"I honestly don’t want to hear any more from JT and Venita. Girl if you’re still pining after this man, there’s nothing that can help you. #SouthernCharm," read another tweet.
More fans of Southern Charm shared their frustration on social media.
"The Venita and JT thing was MESSY. Miscommunication and also (I’m guessing) one far more into the other, but at the end of the day I find it wildly embarrassing as a woman to watch Venita say she would still want to date him… #SouthernCharm"
"Venita STILL saying she wants to date JT when he’s “out” with his girlfriend is another level of cringe. Have some respect girl! #SouthernCharm," another person commented.
An X user posted,
"Here I am thinking Venita was strong and the independent type of woman. Her pining for JT is pathetic and the ick factor it gives off after his girlfriend slid into your DMs. Girl you are being played by a player. His right up there wth Shep, Whitney and Austen. #SouthernCharm"
