‘Southern Charm’ star Kathryn Dennis fired after 8 seasons: report

Reality TV

Ba ba doo, ba ba bye bye bye.

Kathryn Dennis reportedly has been fired from “Southern Charm” after starring on the Bravo reality show for eight seasons.

A source told the US Sun on Monday that Dennis’ contract was not renewed for Season 9 due to several “no-shows” and her behavior toward staff.

“I know Bravo didn’t offer her a contract, but when you treat people poorly like she has, they finally get sick of it,” the insider claimed. “She doesn’t show up on time or show up at all during filming a lot.”

As “Southern Charm” fans will recall, Dennis’ screen time on the show began declining last season after her breakup with Chleb Ravenell.

“She treats people like they are beneath her,” the source alleged to the outlet. “She can’t stand anyone doing better or getting more attention than her.”

The source went on to claim that Bravo even brought in a new producer to “handle” Dennis’ behavior.

“I know she’s had money issues, and now I don’t know how she’s going to work. She’s never had a job,” the insider said. “I’m worried for her, but maybe this is a wake-up call.”

The network tells Page Six that it cannot comment on casting at this time.

Viewers recently have been speculating about who will make the cut for Season 9, as the series brought in more new cast members last year than ever before.

The popular Instagram account @QueensOfBravo was the first to report that Dennis, 31, may be donezo, and fans don’t seem too happy about it.

“There really is no show without her,” one user commented.

“I won’t be watching if Kathryn is gone,” someone else wrote.

“Im done watching then end the show it’s over this is like micheal [sic] leaving the office to me 😢,” another fan added, referring to Steve Carell’s character in the NBC sitcom.

“Without Kathryn there would be no Southern Charm. Last season the only good parts were her and Madison,” one more chimed in.

Dennis has spent most of her adult life starring on the popular show, beginning when she was just 21 years old in 2014. Fans met her as Thomas Ravenel’s much-younger girlfriend, and she later became the mother of his two children.

Bravo has not yet announced the cast or premiere date for Season 9 of “Southern Charm.”
