How Much Weight Did Lava Bonaparte Lose?
Lava Bonaparte lost almost 20 pounds after doing cardio for 40 minutes five days a week and cutting out all carbohydrates. However, she was not satisfied with the result and opted for surgery.
No, she is back with her slim and fit figure in Southern Charm season 8. After a 16-month hiatus, Bravo’s Southern Charm returns tonight. The last time we saw the Charmers on-screen was in February 2021.
Bravo broadcast the show’s wild and wooly two-part Season 7 reunion in Feb 2021. It was a gathering where the cast’s vaunted Southern manners and sense of decorum appeared to have been left behind at CHS.
Leva returns for Season 8 tonight, and she recently took the time to jump on a Zoom with Decider to explain her personal approach to filming this season. Since she dealt with some on- and off-screen turbulence last season.
I was so exhausted and worried last season that one of the first things I did this season was telling myself, “I simply want to have fun.” I don’t want to get into a fight with anyone. “I don’t believe any of this is worthwhile,” she told Decider.
She continued, “That’s what I contributed to both my life and the performance. But, you know, it isn’t always the case. I have a bad temper. That I am aware of. I’m a tyrant. I’m aware of that as well. I’m defective, maybe even severely flawed.”
“But, yes, those are the issues I have. But I’m aware of it and can work on it.”
