Olivia went on to say that it wasn’t her choice to leave the show.
“I was super bummed. I got the call like, a few weeks before filming,” Olivia said. “The production company was just like, ‘You don’t really seem to be in Charleston that much. 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.”
Olivia splits her time between Charleston, South Carolina and Dallas, Texas where boyfriend Alex Williams lives.
“I don’t think it’s choosing a different path,” Olivia added. “I’m just kinda living my life.”
Olivia also noted that her parents recently relocated to Texas after her brother Conner died last year at 32 from an accidental drug overdose.
“My parents had just moved to Texas, and the boyfriend thing just happened very randomly,” Olivia said. “I’m really glad. He was the best part that came out of that year. But had I known it was working against me or making people think I was choosing a different path? I wish there had been more communication there.”
Olivia first joined Southern Charm in season eight while dating co-star Austen Kroll, however, the two had a bitter split before season nine.
As of right now, Bravo hasn’t officially announced the premiere date for season 10 of Southern Charm. Find out which stars will be returning for the new season!
