Olivia Flowers reveals reason behind Southern Charm exit ahead of season 10

Olivia Flowers was taken out of the reality series Southern Charm, ahead of the filming for season 10.

During an episode of Scheananigans with Scheana Shay published on July 12, Olivia Flowers revealed that she was dropped out of the series weeks before the shoot for season 10 began. While addressing rumors that the TV personality quit the show to go on some other path, Olivia said:

"It wasn't my choice. I mean, I was super bummed. A lot of people think I made the choice (because) I have this new relationship, and I'm like choosing another path."

Olivia Flowers is currently dating Alex Williams. The duo reportedly met at a wedding in 2023. Flowers was a part of the series Southern Charm for two seasons. She joined the show in its eighth season as a love interest of Austen Kroll, a long-time cast member, and immediately became a fan favorite.

For the unversed, the show follows the lives of several socialites living in Charleston, Southern California.

"I got the call like a few weeks before filming" — Olivia Flowers on her exit from Southern Charm

While recalling her exit from the reality TV series Southern Charm, Olivia Flowers mentioned it wasn't her choice, and she received a call from the production company, Haymaker East, weeks before filming started. She added that since the show is set in Charleston, the makers thought Flowers had some other plans as she wasn't spending much time in the city.

Flowers quoted what the show creators told her:

"We're noticing on your Instagram you're in Texas, you've got this new boyfriend and it just seems like you're choosing a different path.'"

Flowers responded by saying it wasn't about picking a different path; she was just living her life. Her parents had moved to Texas, and she got into a relationship "very randomly.' While talking about meeting her boyfriend, Flowers called him the "best part that came out of that year."

However, she wished that there was "more communication" from the show's end if getting into a new relationship made her look like she was choosing a different path.

During an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in December 2023, Olivia revealed that while her boyfriend Alex supported her career as a reality TV star, he would not join her on the show. She added the two hadn't discussed much about the possibility of Alex entering the show and described him as a "do what you need to do' kind of guy.

Earlier on the show, Flowers was reportedly in a relationship with fellow Southern Charm season 8 actor, Austen Kroll, but they split before the reunion special. In season 9, Austen shared that he had kissed Olivia's friend and his castmate Shep Rose's ex-girlfriend, Taylor Ann Green.

In the recent podcast, Olivia Flowers also mentioned that she and Taylor are no longer friends and the last time they met and chatted was when they were in New York.
