The drama between Southern Charm stars Venita Aspen and Jarrett "JT" Thomas has reached new heights as JT fires back at allegations that Venita spent $5,000 on him and his co-stars. In a series of posts, JT revealed evidence denying the claim and provided his version of what really happened.
Recently, Venita Aspen made headlines when she claimed she had spent $5,000 on JT, creating a buzz in the reality TV world. Her statement,
"Imagine having a girlfriend, and then having your best friend spend $5,000 on you…"
quickly went viral, suggesting that she felt betrayed after discovering that JT had a girlfriend while still accepting such a significant amount of money from her.
Refusing to let the accusations slide, JT responded by posting a screenshot of a bank transaction showing that the actual amount Venita had sent was $4,054.48, not $5,000 as she had claimed.
JT wrote:
"And it wasn’t $5,000… $4,054.48 was the number."
He went on to clarify that the situation stemmed from a misunderstanding. JT explained that he and Venita had been close friends, and the transaction occurred after he had accidentally left his credit card in Venita’s car. At the time, he was recovering from a serious ATV accident and was using a cane to get around. Venita had helped by covering some of his purchases, and later, he reimbursed her in full via PayPal.
Additionally, JT addressed claims about an expensive jacket he wore to the E1 Horse Race, which was allegedly part of Venita’s spending. He revealed that the incident was actually a lighthearted joke between them, caught on camera, and not as dramatic as it had been made out to be.
This revelation has divided Southern Charm fans. Some believe Venita exaggerated the story for attention, while others feel that regardless of the exact amount, JT accepting such a large sum from a close friend—while having a girlfriend—was inappropriate.
With the situation still unfolding, many are left wondering: Will JT and Venita ever reconcile, or has this drama permanently severed their friendship? As the tension continues to rise, Southern Charm fans are eagerly watching to see what happens next. One thing is for sure—this feud is far from over!
