Naomie and Leva Break Down That Massive Blowup With Kathryn

Southern Charm Season 8 debuted tonight with some major pyrotechnics following a painfully long hiatus. Rekindling their previous romance, Craig and Naomie? Check. Is Austen courting a fresh honey? Check. And what about Kathryn leaving her OWN 30th birthday party early after getting into Naomie’s face and calling her a “fucking petty little bitch”? I’M SO SORRY I MISSED THIS SHOW!

Leva Bonaparte and Naomie Olindo gave Decider some one-on-one time in the days before the Southern Charm Season 8 debut, and you KNOW we questioned them both about this heated scene. Here are a few extracts from our conversations with them all regarding this explosion.

LEVA ON THE KATHRYN / NAOMIE FIGHT

NO, LEVA BONAPARTE. I therefore insisted to Naomie, “It’s going to be alright. The situation is okay. Since I had successfully persuaded her that, “No, I had supper with Kathryne,” I truly felt awful that it didn’t work out. She seems different to me now. And I have the impression that everything will be okay. But maybe I just didn’t realise how entrenched the conflict between the two of them was. I don’t know; I just remember thinking, “Oh, my God, I could cut the tension in here with a knife.” What shall I do? Oh, let’s just stroll over here and grunt.

[Nods knowingly] Mmmmhmm. The main issue Kathryn ultimately faces, in my opinion, is that. I believe that is simply the way she fights. She just gets so… it just spirals out of control, and this year I actually attempted to help her with it. I was actually trying to say, “Focus on your feelings,” if you guys happen to see it. insults are less common. Describe your feelings in further detail. More “Hey, I’m wounded” or “This is how I feel” instead of “Fuck you.” And remember, we all face different challenges. Additionally, I believe Naomie has a temper much as I do.

I mean, I was, NAOMIE OLINDO I was genuinely shocked. Given that Kathyrn exhibits patterns, I probably ought to have anticipated that [conflict]. One of her patterns is this. I ought to have known, then. And I was aware that I probably shouldn’t have gone. For me, things weren’t going to go very well. I had no idea how awful that would turn out to be. However, these are things about Kathryn that we are aware of, so it was… I was shocked, but not really shocked.
