Southern Charm’s Thomas Ravenel claims Olivia “used” him for hookup
Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images, BravoOlivia Flowers admitted that she hooked up with Thomas Ravenel at the Southern Charm reunion, but he thinks she was using him.
At the Southern Charm Season 9 reunion, Taylor Ann Green revealed that Olivia Flowers hooked up with Thomas Ravenel when she was in her 20s.
Taylor expected the entire cast to turn against Olivia when they heard about the shocking news, and thought she was being a hypocrite when it came to her involvement with Austen.
The Southern Charm cast still had Olivia’s back and didn’t care that she hooked up with Thomas, including his ex Kathryn Dennis, with whom he has two children with.
Kathryn didn’t know Olivia at the time, which confirmed that her history with Thomas didn’t break girl code.

Thomas shared more details about his past hookup with Olivia in an exclusive interview with All About The Tea. “I was in Atlanta the weekend of January 14, 2017 for my nephew’s wedding. Olivia was living in Atlanta at the time pursing her acting career. She was 24 years old at the time NOT 20, like she claimed on the reunion,” he explained.
“I will say, she conducted herself as a classy lady that night. I would have never acknowledged having sex with her until they brought me up at the reunion.”
Thomas continued, “So I reached out to her and to my surprise she was very inviting. We went on a date and hung out at various bars around Atlanta. It was a fun evening and one thing led to another after she invited me to her condo in downtown Atlanta. After that night, I never called her again. It was a one time deal.”
The Southern Charm alum then threw jabs at Olivia, claiming that she only associated herself with him to be on TV. “She used me! Olivia was in Atlanta pursing an acting career and she wanted to get on that show, that’s why she befriended me.”
While Olivia’s hookup with Thomas was controversial, she has a better reputation on Southern Charm than Thomas, who is no longer on the show.
Olivia joined Southern Charm after she went through the entire casting process, and didn’t just get on reality TV because of who she was dating.
Since Thomas was fired from the show, he decided to throw Olivia under the bus about something she did when she was younger.
Southern Charm airs Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on Bravo.
