Southern Charm may still be getting to know Venita Aspen this season, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a history with several her fellow cast members. In fact, as she recently shared in an interview with The Daily Dish (above), her bond with Naomie Olindo actually dates all the way back to high school.

Following graduation, the two women reconnected later on and Venita was even by Naomie's side during an emotional time in her life following her split from Metul Shah. To hear more about Venita and Naomie's high school days, as well we to get an update on how Naomie is doing today following her breakup straight from her pal, might we suggest you press play on the exclusive video above?

And, if that's not enough scoop for you, in the video above, Venita also shares updates on her incredible life, being "close" to Madison LeCroy before joining the cast, living in Shep Rose's old apartment, her thriving career, her connection to her mom who is also "goal-oriented and career-focused" like her, and, yes, even if she's dating anyone.

By the way, if you're looking for a few more fabulous details about Venita (and, really, who could blame you?), according to her BravoTV.com profile she is a "self-proclaimed Southern Belle."

The bio continues: "Venita is a force to be reckoned with. A jack-of- all-trades, newcomer Venita went to culinary school and is a full time model and influencer known around Charleston for her glamour, immaculate parties, and her head-to-toe perfect outfits. Venita infuses southern flair into everything she touches, a skill she got from her Mom Vi, who is Venita’s best friend and role model."
