Venita Aspen reacted to comments Carl Radke made about their “friendly” relationship in an interview earlier this week.
As she also teased a potential spinoff with Summer House cast member Ciara Miller, 30, explained why she sided with Paige DeSorbo, 33, after her split from Craig Conover, 36, and addressed her season 11 feud with Salley Carson, 31, the 32-year-old Southern Charm star admitted to learning how Carl, 41, felt about her online.
“I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ It makes sense, but I just wish he had said something to me,” Venita shared during a March 11 interview with Elite Daily, seemingly about what Carl told Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea at the end of last month.
“Venita’s great. It’s been friendly, but some time has passed since we went on that date. We had a good time. She’s awesome, but there is a significant distance between the two places that we live. And I just … [am] keeping my eyes open,” he revealed.
Following their short-lived romance, Venita said that dating was “horrible,” adding that she and Ciara were in the same boat.
“We’re both such catches…I don’t know what’s going on,” she explained.
As for their possible spinoff, Venita confirmed, “They want it, and I want to do it. We just have to figure out the best plan of action…I might trickle my way over to Summer House.”
Regarding her status with Craig, Venita said she had no intention of reconciling.
“It’s sad because he’s never given me the time of day. Since I got into this friend group, it’s been like, ‘Oh, she’s not important,’” she reasoned.
Then sharing her thoughts on Craig’s breakup with Paige, Venita noted that she’s always “going to take the girl’s side in any breakup.”
“Is that so wrong of me? Why am I siding with a man that doesn’t even know my birthday?” she asked.
Moving on to her feud with Salley, Venita insisted she had her best interests in mind.
“I was trying to make sure I was looking out for my best friend, and I don’t think it was reciprocated well,” she recalled. “There were some moments I could have dialed back a little bit, but I was very disappointed in the fact that my best friend at the time was so willing to date a man who had nothing nice to say about me…I’ll never give her advice on a man again.”
Also during the interview, Venita explained why she didn’t stress amid season 11, saying that she was the “most secure” amid filming and noting that she was “not afraid of what’s to come on the other side,” and reacted to racist messages from social media trolls.
“It’s awful,” she revealed. “Some of it is just like, ‘I don’t like what you said.’ That’s fine. You’re entitled to that. But some others are like, ‘You act so white, you should bleach your skin,’ or ‘You want to be the only one, you want to be the token.’ No, I don’t actually.”
Southern Charm season 11 airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
