Southern Charm season 8 reunion!
The season 8 reunion, which aired in October 2022, focused on the relationship problems between OG star Shep Rose and ex-Taylor Ann Green after she claimed he had cheated with 300 whores. In January, they reunited to film the season 9 premiere; Shep said he wished Taylor happiness. But Taylor wasn't prepared to forget and forgive.
The ex-couple was one of many ex-couples having problems heading into the new season. Austen Kroll and Olivia Flowers called it quits in the fall of 2022, just before the season 8 reunion. Olivia was certain that she didn't want anything to do with her ex-boyfriend when season 9 began.
Who reconciled after season 8 of Southern Charm, and who was at odds at the start of season 9?
Venita and Madison - Friends!
Madison alleged that Venita Aspen was chatting to the other females and did not have her best interests in mind. In the premiere, Venita expressed her eagerness for them to rekindle their friendship. I did miss my connection with Venita, Madison said. I'm glad the beef was resolved.
Madison provided an exclusive update on her friendship with Venita before the September launch of season 9, stating, 'I never wanted to feel like there was bad blood between us or anything, so I'm happy that we can just move on and get over it.'
'We should spend more time together. We need more time to spend together, Venita said. She travels as frequently as I do. Thus, we have only a few seconds to relax, unwind, sit on the couch, and think about nothing else. Girl time is necessary.

The women laughed together while they ate cake.
Austen and Olivia – Not Talking!
After rollerblading together in the season 9 episode, Olivia joked to Taylor that "falling for Austen is like the equivalent of going in a Fun House." You notice it. You enter the room all enthusiastic, but your appearance is warped. There's a f—king clown racing by, and when you get out of the car, you feel queasy and like throwing up.
Olivia was not amused when she ran across her ex at Madison's party. During the season 8 reunion, Olivia revealed that she and Austen split because he found it difficult to commit.
Shep and Taylor – Not Talking!
'I had a crush on Shep. I wanted to exert myself fully. When speaking on the pair's July 2022 breakup, Taylor said, 'After Shep and I broke up, I still truly wanted to make things work. It's challenging for me to comprehend his feelings... He didn't want to do that, but we were always arguing.
Taylor and Shep had a conversation in the episode's closing moments, but it ended with them at odds. She's aggressive. I feel guilty, and it truly breaks my heart, Shep said.
Shep, Austen and Craig – BFFs!
