Southern Charm viewers are hailing Rodrigo Reyes’ presence as being one of the more interesting aspects of the season 9 reunion this January. The newbie to the group has savagely been called out by fans who say he had “five minutes” of fame this season, with some wondering why he was attending the Part Two get-together.
Bravo‘s reunion shows are really where it’s at – Andy Cohen sits down with the Southern Charm cast members on January 18 and the co-stars hash out all the drama from the season. While Austen Kroll and JT Thomas exchange some harsh words, the main focus of the reunion is Olivia Flowers and Taylor Ann Green’s beef. The two’s friendship sadly isn’t going to be salvaged, by the looks of things.
Rodrigo Reyes on Southern Charm
Southern Charm season 9 saw the return of many familiar faces including Shep Rose, Austen, Craig Conover, and Madison LeCroy. The series also welcomed newbies such as Rodrigo Reyes, Rod Razavi, and Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas.
The season saw cast members mingling in Jamaica, considering having more kids, falling out, and navigating their super complicated love lives.
According to fans, Rodrigo didn’t have much to say all season, but when it came to the reunion part two, he unleashed some of his thoughts on Olivia.
Fans say it was ‘unexpected’
As Olivia shares her thoughts about Taylor at the reunion, the camera cuts to Rodrigo who squints and shakes his head before dishing out his opinion on set.
Rodrigo’s input was “unexpected,” say fans who added: “…he said two words all season.”
One fan wrote on X (Twitter): “Rodrigo going toe-to-toe with Olivia was unexpected.”
The Southern Charm newbie piped up: “I don’t think it’s true. I’ve watched her throughout the season say you’re sorry” and added he thinks Olivia was “kicking Taylor while she was down.”
Taylor’s former friend, Olivia, ends up telling Rodrigo to “shut up,” before he responds: “F*** you, Olivia.”
It looks like viewers are here for the drama with another tweeting: “Rodrigo going after Olivia and Olivia getting big mad about it is everything.”

While Bravo newcomer Rodrigo may have simply been defending Taylor at the reunion, some viewers are speculating him showing a more vocal could’ve been a strategic move.
Fans took to X to suggest Rodrigo could be trying to go out with a bang in season 9 in a bid to get himself on season 10.
One commented: “Is Rodrigo trying to earn a spot next season? This dude wasn’t involved at all and now all of a sudden he is? lmao no.”
However, many were also here for the interior decorator “speaking his mind” with some even posting “appreciation tweets” for the star.
One fan tweeted: “…kudos to Rodrigo for speaking up…”
