Bravo stars are no strangers to branching out beyond the shows that made them famous. From Paige DeSorbo’s successful “Giggly Squad” podcast to Bethenny Frankel’s business moves, reality stars have proven that they can turn fame into opportunity.
Now, “Southern Charm” star Venita Aspen is hinting at her next big move, and she wants to do it alongside good friend and “Summer House” star Ciara Miller. In a recent interview with Elite Daily, Aspen teased that she’d love to star in a spinoff about her and Miller, with fans totally on board with the idea.
Venita Aspen Shares She’s Fully on Board to Do a Spinoff Show With Ciara Miller
Could Bravo fans get a potential spinoff starring “Southern Charm” star Venita Aspen and “Summer House” star Ciara Miller? In a recent interview with Elite Daily, Aspen opened up about her close bond with Miller, revealing their friendship began back in 2020 after she reached out to her on Instagram. Since then, the two have built a strong connection, so how fun would it be to see them take that dynamic on their own show?
In her interview, Aspen shared that fans have commented on social media posts that they’d love to see both women in their own spinoff. Aspen is also totally down for that, telling the outlet, “They want it, and I want to do it. We just have to figure out the best plan of action.” She then hinted that fans could see her on “Summer House.”
“I might trickle my way over to ‘Summer House.’ We’ll see,” she teased.
When discussing dating and relationships, Aspen joked about her and Miller’s love lives, “Dating is horrible, and we’re both such catches.”
Elite Daily later shared Aspen’s comments on Instagram, where Miller didn’t hesitate to weigh in on the spinoff idea. “So. down. 💕,” she wrote in the comment section, proving that she’s fully on board.
Fans in the comment section also chimed in on the idea, and were also full supportive. “WE NEED IT❤️,” a person wrote. “need this to happen!” Another fan commented.
A fan also suggested that Bravo bring back the spinoff “Winter House” and have Miller and Aspen star in a new season. “Do a winter house season with @venitaaspen and @ciaramiller___ and let them bring in newbies!”
Miller Has Shown Support for Aspen on This Season of ‘Southern Charm’
GettyFurther in her interview with Elite Daily, Aspen touched on how she and Miller formed such a strong bond, noting that Miller has stood up for her amid online backlash tied to her feud with “Southern Charm” co-star Craig Conover this season.
Commenting on a TikTok post that sided with Aspen on an earlier conflict in the season, Miller wrote (via Us Weekly), “Imagine being the only Black girl on a predominantly white cast in the SOUTH. No one ever sees Venita’s side. And her cast only expects her to be submissive to their opinions and limelight.”
Aspen told Elite Daily that she reached out to Miller and “thanked her” for having her back. “I texted her and thanked her because I don’t know how to speak on those feelings without getting so sad or angry to the point that I just flip out on everybody. It’s nice to know that she had my back, but it’s also sad that no one else from my cast is going to say anything like that,” she said.
Miller also showed her support for Aspen during an appearance on her co-star Carl Radke’s “More Life” podcast. While speaking to Radke, she reflected on her own experiences as a Black woman on reality TV, sharing that she understands some of what Aspen may be navigating.
“[S]he’s by herself, and, like, at one point in time I had Mya [Allen], I had Gabby [Prescod on ‘Summer House’], we could kind of explore some of these conversations, but it’s really hard to be one person in a group full of white people who think that they know, like, what racism is when they quite literally have no idea what it feels like,” she said.
She continued, “The things that their white castmates get celebrated for — having an opinion, being bold — as a Black woman you could never be … Like we have to watch every single step that we do because we know that we don’t get the same opportunities to mess up.”
Fans can currently catch Aspen on “Southern Charm” season 11 and Miller on “Summer House” season 10, as both shows are airing now.
Would never watch this. 2 mean girls
Venita talks racism. But she is the troublemaker and instead of calling her on it, they kiss her ass.
Sounds like narcissism.
Ciara is beautiful, enjoys her best friends, is never excluded. Talented smart and not a narcissist. Shit happens and they are all mean to each other on southern charm.
