“Southern Charm” star Venita Aspen called out show producers for making her look like a “homewrecker” after she learned her crush Jarrett “JT” Thomas had a girlfriend.
The TV personality took to her Instagram Stories Saturday to allege producers altered the timeline of when they filmed scenes between her and Thomas, claiming she wouldn’t have continued pursuing her co-star if she had known he was taken.
“Let me make something VERY CLEAR,” she wrote.”That dinner JT and I had after I made a Branzino was AFTER the Bahamas y’all as an audience saw it BEFORE. So this week’s episode is now making me look like I’m a home wrecker [sic] when I’m not.”
“I know what I signed up for but I also will not allow the world to think I’m that woman when I’m not,” Aspen, 31, added.
Reps for Bravo weren’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
The intimate Branzino dinner between the Bravo stars aired on Feb. 6, and it showed the two discussing their chemistry before Thomas dropped the bombshell that he was dating someone new.
“Do I know we had chemistry? Am I extremely attracted to you? Yes,” Thomas told Aspen, before adding, “But, I’m just being real, I’m seeing someone.”
“I won’t say I knew he had a girlfriend, I can say I knew he was talking to someone but it wasn’t a ‘this is who I’m dating,'” Aspen said in a confessional.
“I’m equally part angry and equally part sad, ’cause how long have we been flirting?”
Later in the episode, Aspen told Thomas she wasn’t a homewrecker.
The following episodes in the season then show the cast taking a trip to the Bahamas.
A preview of an upcoming episode from the trip shows Aspen giddy while telling her co-stars she’s been receiving long text messages from Thomas.
“He has feelings for you? Like more than a friend, or no?” a castmate asked Aspen, to which the latter nodded and grinned.
