Olivia Flowers Reflects on the Emotional Southern Charm Episode About Her Brother
The Southern Charm cast member shared a sweet tribute to her late brother, Conner.
Southern Charm Season 9, Episode 6 was a difficult one for Olivia Flowers, as it documented the aftermath of the tragic passing of her brother, Conner.
To reflect on the episode, Olivia took to Instagram on Oct. 26. Read on for details.
Olivia Flowers' Reflections on the Emotional Southern Charm Episode About Her Brother, Conner
Sharing a clip from the episode — one that featured a flashback snippet of her and Conner on FaceTime — Olivia wrote, "Difficult episode to watch back, but grateful you all got to see a glimpse of Conner, and the kind of brother I grew up with."
"My family and I will always appreciate having these moments captured in real time," she continued. "Thank you to [Bravo] for that gift & thank you to everyone for the love. We’ve felt it all."

The Southern Charm episode also saw Olivia reflect on what her brother meant to her. Recalling his last words in a confessional interview, she explained, "One of the last things he said to me was, ‘You’re doing everything right. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. I hope you can look at me and be proud of me, like I’m proud of you.'”
Olivia also opened up about the grief she was feeling. "I haven't been able to go in his room, whereas my mom just wants to stay in it," she told her castmates while crying. "So, we're all just on really different pages. He was just so thoughtful and sweet and kind, that's what everyone's been saying about him. I just hope he knew how loved he was."
What's more, Olivia expressed her gratitude to her friends for rallying around her. As she put it, "Everyone stepped up in such a way that meant so much. And having Austen [Kroll] step up is comforting."
Austen, as Southern Charm fans may recall, has also lost a sibling. So, despite Olivia's residual anger at him over the Season 9 drama, she noted, "It's hard to stay mad at someone who's been through something similar. It just sucks that we have that in common, but it's a common ground nonetheless."
