With Season 8 now airing, viewers have also gotten the chance to get to know Venita Aspen.
Aspen is not entirely new to the series.
During an exclusive interview with The List, Aspen shared her experience being the new member of the cast.
What is that like?
What’s the difference been like now in Season 8, being a full member of the cast?
I no longer have time in my day.
It’s all gone.
How do you, or do you find any balance of free time?
I’ve gotten much better at finding balance.
What made you want to join the cast full-time?
I was excited when I got the call and the opportunity to be a part of the cast.
What was your experience like this season?
Do you think you’d want to do it again for another season?
This is the most chaotic my life has ever been, but I’d definitely do it again.
I really did enjoy it.
Everyone had been on the show since the beginning.
The majority of the cast was pretty welcoming.
We don’t like you."
What would you say was the biggest challenge being on this season?
That time was not allotted, so I feel like that was one of my biggest challenges.
I used to come home and watch Bravo religiously.
I would leave events early.
I would have parties with my girlfriends to watch new seasons and first episodes.
How do you feel about the way it’s edited and how you come across in the show?
Do you feel like it’s pretty accurate to what you experienced in real-time?
They make it to where I’m a little more full of myself than I actually am.
It’s not really a bad thing.
Some people don’t like it.
On any reality show, there’s a lot of drama.
[Now that you’re] an influencer and people know who you are.
No, so far, so good.
Fans will see more of her personality on Southern Charm
You mentioned you had a watch party.
Are you just with your friends watching it the way you would watch a normal Bravo show?
I had 25 of my closest friends in there.
I’m still waiting.
So far, so good.
I’m waiting for that moment to happen.
What is it like for your friends to watch you?
Did they have any funny reactions?
“Oh my God.
I can’t believe you’re doing this.
You’re on TV.
We’ve made it.”
Everyone’s been really supportive, which is super nice.
You’ve already been sharing your life on social media as an influencer.
Do you feel like being on the show will give your fans a different side of you?
People will get to see me beyond the first nine squares that you see on Instagram.
I don’t really know.
New episodes of “Southern Charm” air Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. New episodes are also available Fridays for streaming on Peacock.
