Venita Aspen appeared on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live, where she spoke of Jarrett “JT” Thomas‘ recent social media posts, reacted to Craig Conover‘s split from Paige DeSorbo, and shared her thoughts on Shep Rose‘s potential romance with Molly O’Connell.
As she also reacted to Sienna Evans‘ TikTok posts about her relationship with Shep, 44, and revealed interest in an actor, the 31-year-old Southern Charm cast member looked back on her short-lived romance with JT, 39, and the love triangle she found herself in with him and Ali Pereless.
“I’m extremely disappointed in him for doing that and trying to throw me under the bus like that, especially considering I was the only one that had his back and stood up for him against the name-calling allegations with [Patricia Altschul] and the allegations about him calling me something that he didn’t,” Venita shared on the March 20 episode of WWHL.
In addition to sharing a video of Venita and Ali together in an effort to prove Venita was aware of their romance earlier than she alluded, JT showcased proof that he had reimbursed her for the jacket she bought him on his Instagram Story and said Venita had lied.
“I never said he didn’t pay me back. I was just saying that I was his best friend, and I needed to put the card down, and I knew he was going to pay me back and he was good for it,” Venita clarified of the alleged $5,000 jacket. “I didn’t have a problem doing that. That’s what you do for your best friend.”
As for the racism allegations suggested by a barber and repeated by the cast, Venita defended JT, noting that she never believed he had spoken about her in an insensitive manner.
“That’s not JT at all. I might be mad at him, but that’s just not the person who he is,” she stated.
Venita was then asked a series of rapid-fire questions, during which she said her relationship with JT was “the most” she’d had in a “really long time” and described him as a lover using three words, including “sweet, compassionate, and caring.”
Venita also said that at this point, she no longer considers JT a gentleman.
As for when she learned he had gone public with Ali, Venita said she was alerted to the post by Rodrigo Reyes.
