Olivia Flowers revealed that she once hooked up with Thomas Ravenel during the explosive Season 9 reunion of “Southern Charm” on Thursday.
Flowers was arguing with her ex-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green about her relationship with Austin Kroll when Green said that Flowers had once had a tryst with Ravenel.
“Forgive as you want to be forgiven,” she said cryptically to Flowers while the rest of the cast and host Andy Cohen looked confused.
However, Flowers knew exactly what Green was insinuating, so she told her former friend: “Go ahead and say it. I actually see what you’re trying to do.”
“You’ve been hanging this over my head. I want to see you. Say it. Say it.”
Cohen pressed Greene on what she was insinuating before co-star Craig Conover shouted, “Okay, just say it now. I mean we’re here.”
“The whole situation is for Thomas,” Green, 29, said with a smile.
The camera panned to several cast members who looked shocked by the news as Cohen explained: “Thomas Ravenel?”
“Yes,” Flowers, 31, replied. “I was fresh out of college, 20 years old, and one stupid drunk night, one time, I had an affair with T-Rav, and I wanted to go to my grave. Who doesn’t?
Flowers then brought up last year’s encounter when co-star Madison LeCroy was the first to say she heard Flowers had been linked to Ravenel, who is 30 years her senior and shares two children with Flowers’ close friend and former co-star Kathryn Dennis. .
At the time, Flowers vehemently denied they were ever dating, saying they were just family friends. Green also defended her then-girlfriend.
“Right after that, I sat down with Taylor, and I said, ‘I appreciate that you’re taking charge of me, but you have to know that something happened, and she’s the only person on earth I told about it, and now you’re sitting there trying to use it against me,'” she said. Flowers continued.
Cohen seemed confused and asked why Flowers had to “forgive” her relationship with Ravenel more than a decade ago.
“I mean, same situation,” Green said. “Katherine is a friend and confidant and she lied about it, so why didn’t she go to Katherine and say I’m sorry?”
Flowers responded by saying that she didn’t even “know Katherine at the time” and met her “after it happened.”
“She told me it happened five years ago after the second baby,” Green claimed.
Cohen asked Flowers if Ravenel was dating Denise at the time of their engagement, but Flowers said she “didn’t believe it,” so Cohen asked again why the engagement was a “bad” thing.
“Because she was sitting there chomping at the bit to use it against me,” Flowers said of Green. “Not only have you proven yourself to be a friend, but you are a human being as well.”
Cohen then suggested the group take a break before Flowers walked off the stage and hurled profanities at Green.
Ravenel starred on the series “Southern Charm” from its premiere in 2014 until season 5 in 2018 when he was fired following his arrest in 2018 on charges of second-degree assault and battery against his former nanny.
He eventually pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and battery.

The Bravolebrity’s previous time on the hit show mostly revolved around his turbulent relationship with his ex-girlfriend Denise.
The two dated on and off since Season 1 before breaking up in 2016 — without the occasional hookup.
Denise and Ravenelle have two children together — daughter Kensington “Kensie,” 8, and son St. Julian “Saint,” 6 — and have been fighting for custody for years.
In March 2021, Denise temporarily lost custody and was only allowed supervised visitation with her two children.
“Southern Charm” airs Thursdays at 8 pm ET on Bravo.
