Kathryn Dennis is going to spend a lot of this season trying to prove that she’s not racist or ruining Cameran Eubanks’ life.

But on the most recent Southern Charm, her castmates were particularly unconvinced about the latter.

Back in May, we reported on the wild rumors that Cameran Eubanks’ husband, Jason Wimberly, had been having an affair.

The absurd rumors were strongly denied by everyone involved, and even Cameran spoke in defense of the alleged mistress.

Just days later, Cameran announced that she was leaving the show. She was followed by Naomie Olindo and Chelsea Meissner.

So Cameran left after six seasons — but just liked former Southern Charm star and notorious criminal Thomas Ravenel, she was not forgotten.

On the season premiere, Kathryn shared the “juicy” rumor about Cameran with Craig Conover.

Not only did Craig not believe it, but he was weirded out that Kathryn would even repeat something so silly and hurtful.

Craig spoke about it to newcomer and breath of fresh air Leva Bonaparte that Kathryn had shared the rumor.

Leva, no stranger to this social circle, told him that there was definitely nothing true to the rumor.

Cameran didn’t have to appear to play a role in the story — so she made her presence known via text.

Cameran, justifiably angry, texted Kathryn to ask why TF she was spreading this rumor.

It hurt her, her husband, and an innocent young woman. Lives and careers can be ruined on this kind of BS, after all.

Kathryn read the texts “into the record,” so to speak, announcing them to the camera, justifying her rumor-mongering by saying that the claim had been “going around.”

Cameron fired back: “Kathryn, give me a break,” and implored Kathryn to “be a good human.”

Kathryn did not take that very well.

In her confession, she announced that she didn’t “give a f–k about what Cameran thinks.”

“She literally hurt me to my core,” Kathryn accused.

She said that Cameran did so “by the meanest, nastiest things you could ever say about someone.”

“So everyone that thinks Cam is just this guy’s girl that is wearing Lilly Pulitzer with a big old smile and perfect teeth,” Kathryn claimed, “she’s an a–hole.”

That sounds like less of a denial that she did anything but repeat a rumor in good faith and more like a confession of motive. Hmmm …

Kathryn may detest Cameran for … whatever, but not everyone feels the same way.

Craig recently spoke about his hopes for the future.

“I know that she enjoyed doing it with us,” Craig reflected.

He detailed: “You know, me and her and Shep [Rose] had been together since the beginning.”

Craig teased fans by hinting: “ … I have a sneaky feeling that I would be able to get her back next year, but we’ll see what happens.”

Of course, Kathryn got in hot water with more than just Cameran Eubanks this year.

In June, Kathryn taunted a Black radio host with racist emojis. And she did it in (indirect) defense of a mid-pandemic Trump boat parade.

So no, Kathryn is not having a great year, and it sounds like she truly does not deserve one.

We have been excited for Season 7 of Southern Charm despite the casting shakeup and other drama of this year.

Now, the hit Bravo series has released a trailer and announced the premiere date. And it looks like Kathryn is in for a rude awakening.

Leva Bonaparte is not the only newcomer to the cast, but she is the most anticipated new Southern Charm star … and a breath of fresh air.

As a woman of color, Leva hopes to promote progress and diversity in Charleston, where she and her husband have been very successful.

She is in an interracial marriage and she wants her son, who is both Black and Persian, to inherit a better world than the one that we inhabit.

Which makes her the perfect person to, as we can see in this trailer, call out Kathryn Dennis’ ignorance.

She explains to Kathryn that she has lived her life within the “bubble” of white privilege.

Keep in mind that white privilege is not an accusation, just a part of life to be acknowledged. Recognizing where you have advantages over others helps you to perceive their hardships.

Earlier this year, Kathryn was embroiled in a racism scandal after sending taunting messages and multiple monkey emojis to a Black woman who had criticized a local Trump boat parade.

We see Leva speak to Kathryn about this over video chat — clearly during the COVID-19 pandemic — as Kathryn protests that her intentions weren’t racist.

That isn’t the end of it, either, because Kathryn Calhoun Dennis’ infamous ancestor made the news from beyond the grave.

There are countless monuments glorifying slavery spread throughout the US — including in states that never had slavery and were never part of the Confederacy. Racism has a long reach.

Charleston, a city entrenched in the history of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, has a monument to proud slave owner Vice President John C. Calhoun. Well, had a monument.

Like many cities over the summer, the local government came to its senses and resolved to remove a monument that exists to glorify evil and intimidate Americans of color. He just so happens to be Kathryn’s ancestor.

That is not all that is going on in the land of Kathryn.

Speaking to the camera, she openly mocks those who are concerned about her going back to drinking.

It is clear that Kathryn’s character development arc that we saw when she faced off with Ashley Jacobs is now a thing of the past.

Speaking of Kathryn’s past, we see her silently tell Madison LeCroy at a party some news.

Remember disgraced former Southern Charm star and accused rapist Thomas Ravenel? Over the summer, he had a new child with a random ex.

This isn’t just gossip for Kathryn. This means that both of her children have a half-sibling.

Speaking of Madison, her role on the show is stepping up — in part to attempt to fill the void left by Naomie, Cameran, and Chelsea.

The three of them rage-quit the series earlier this year, and the result is basically a lot more airtime for Madison, who was once merely Austen’s on-again, off-again girlfriend.

She’s still very much that, but she gets to have more airtime outside of Austen … and outside of Shep Rose’s house, apparently.

Shep Rose reveals, during an obvious pandemic conversation, that someone unnamed as tested positive for COVID-19.

That is alarming news, as this virus can not only kill, but leave lifelong health problems in those who survive.

Whatever we may think of some of the antics of these stars, we would not wish this on even the most dramatic of reality stars.

Madison also appears to feud with Kathryn, at one point facing off on her own porch and sending Kathryn packing.

But she also has some interpersonal drama.

It appears from the trailer that Madison and Austen take yet another “break” … and that Madison finds a new potential interest.

Joining the show is a man named John Pringle, one of the fakest sounding names that we’ve ever heard, but whatever.

Shep Rose’s old fraternity buddy is, as you may have guessed from his intense Single DILF vibes, a dad.

And while he grapples with spending time away from his sons (who are in Los Angeles) to be in Charleston, Madison catches his eye.

At this point, Craig Calhoun has to confront John over whether or not he’s going to pursue Madison.

John realizes that he may have to, for Bro Code reasons, choose between friendship with Austen or a relationship with Madison.

His ruling? “TBD.” Meanwhile, it sounds like Patricia Altschul thinks that John should pop open that bubbling can of LeCroy and chug it down.

Over all, it looks like there’s a lot of mess coupled with some vital and much needed social messaging and educational content.

This show has come a long way since the days of showing Thomas’ trashpile of a father disparage Abraham Lincoln for the Emancipation Proclamation.

Season 7 premieres on Thursday, October 29.

Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis’ ex is bitter about his small amount of reality TV exposure after her castmates ridiculed his dong.

We hope that her new boyfriend enjoys the limelight a little better … especially given his unfortunate name.

Just weeks ago, disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel welcomed a child with a fairly random ex.

He is Kathryn Dennis’ baby daddy and her ex, as well.

Thomas is not the only one who has moved on. 

Chleb Ravenell is a Charleston native.

He has social ties to both Craig Conover and to the beautiful Naomie Olindo.

Back in January, Chleb’s brother, Chelsie, was seen rubbing elbows with both Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel.

Now, Chelsie is a stylist at Gwynn’s.

Gwynn’s, of course, is the store that cut ties with Kathryn after she taunted a Black radio host with racist monkey emojis.

Chelsie’s girlfriend, Jacquelyn, knows Austen Kroll and Madison LeCroy, but is perceived to be much closer with Kathryn herself.

The reason that we have walked you through this sequence of people is because Jacquelyn is the one who let the cat out of the bag.

In the final week of July, she shared a photo from the celebration of Chleb’s birthday.

And look who happened to be taking part in the birthday boy’s party?

Kathryn isn’t merely in the picture, of course. That by itself wouldn’t prove anything.

She is seated between Chleb’s legs, and his is bestowing a kiss upon the top of her head.

Add that to the fact that this photo is visually framed as one of two couples — each brother with his respective girlfriend — and it’s all but confirmed.

Jacquelyn also shared a glimpse of the four of them goofing around in a car, with Kathryn and Chleb seated beside each other.

They looked cute and cuddly. Overall, it all has the vibe of a double-date.

That said, and particularly speaking as a person who has been photographed getting his face licked by a platonic friend, this is not the same as an announcement.

Some Southern Charm fans who have seen the news think that this relationship is some sort of ploy on Kathryn’s part.

She was, after all, accused of racism just a couple of months ago after mocking a Black woman and sending her racist emojis.

(It did not help at all that Kathryn was doing so in defense of a rally for Donald Trump; the racism had layers to it)

But others have countered by pointing out that dating a Black man would not in any way counter claims of racism.

Racism has many forms and expressions, and countless racists have slept with, dated, and married people of color.

Besides, we would point out that arguing that Chleb is merely a “prop” for his race, without any evidence of that, is pretty yikes-worthy all by itself.

But we absolutely have to talk about this guy’s name.

Not his first name – I’m assuming that Chleb is pronounced a little like Caleb, and I don’t like the idea of poking fun at someone’s name. Folks don’t choose their own names.

His last name is Ravenell. Kathryn’s baby daddy’s last name is Ravenel.

We know that Kathryn and Thomas have both done things to get back at each other, but … surely that’s not what’s happening here.

We are going to give everyone involved the benefit of the doubt and say that the last name is surely an unfortunate coincidence.

Congratulations to Chleb and Kathryn on whatever they have going on. We hope that they go Instagram official soon!

Between getting slammed by three departing castmates to being accused of racist insults, Kathryn Dennis is having a rough spring.

Now, the Southern Charm star is begging fans to listen to her side of the story before they decide to hate her.

…

Last year, we reported that Kathryn Dennis was dating a new disgraced senator, a Florida man by the name of Joe Abruzzo.

Now, he is suing Bravo as well as multiple Southern Charm cast members … for a whopping $10 million. Get ready to laugh.
