Kathryn Dennis has confirmed her exit from Southern Charm after eight seasons.
“What a wild ride it’s been!” she told PEOPLE in a statement. “Can you believe I was 21 when I first started filming Southern Charm, back in its first season? That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, it’s safe to say my life changed in ways I could never imagine. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so lucky to have had reality cameras there, capturing so many moments that I’ll never forget (and a few, even, that I’d like to).”
Kathryn was one of the most controversial cast members and has been on every season of the show since its beginning.
The flamed-haired reality star continued: “Y’all watched me grow up, become a mom to two amazing children, and build friendships I’ll always treasure. And through it all, the love y’all have shown for me not only gave me the strength I needed to tackle it all, but helped me realize that I wasn’t alone. I’m so grateful.”
“I’ll be carrying that love with me as I enter this next chapter of my life, away from the Southern Charm lens. I’m thankful for Bravo, the producers at Haymaker and my Charleston cast mates for everything,” she adds. “And I’m excited for whatever comes next. If it’s anything like the last decade, it’ll be a memorable ride. LFG [let’s f—ing go].”
A source reportedly told The US Sun that the network was not renewing her contract after producers became “sick of” her consistent “no-shows” and her behavior while filming.
