Bravo Kathryn Dennis posted a cryptic message amid rumors she was fired from "Southern Charm."
Bravo celebrity Kathryn Dennis shared a vague social media post amid rumors that her role on “Southern Charm” was changing.
“Know who you are and deliver it at all times,” she shared in an Instagram Story published on January 9. The quote is attributed to RuPaul and was first shared by Lisa Rinna, whose departure from “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was confirmed on January 5.
Dennis also shared a clip from “Southern Charm” season 8 in which she made her grape jelly meatballs, using chili sauce, grape jelly and ketchup. “It’s one of those small town recipes,” Dennis says in the clip. The “Southern Charm” star added a gif that says, “Never forget.”
Following rumors that Dennis had quit or been fired from the show, Deadline reported on January 10 that unnamed sources said she would continue on “Southern Charm” as a “guest star.”
Dennis premiered on the Bravo series in 2014 as Thomas Ravenel’s girlfriend in season 1. She and Ravenel broke up at the end of the season, but by the time season 2 aired they had some news to share: Dennis and Ravenel welcomed a child together, Kensington Calhoun. They went on to have one more child, now 6-year-old St. Julien Rembert. The pair was famously on-again, off-again but broke up for good in 2015, per Bravo TV.
Dennis had been a full-time cast member since season 2, Deadline noted.
The “Southern Charm” star also edited her Instagram profile amid the rumors. Her bio now reads, “I am Southern Charm,” and she includes a link to an OnlyFans account, which appeared to be new. Her first OnlyFans post was shared on January 9, the same day the rumor about her possible departure appeared.
“Now that I have a place where I can be free to be all of me and taking reign of my 30’s, I’m super excited to be able to express myself in ways that I haven’t been able to over the last 10 years,” she wrote in her OnlyFans bio. “I feel like I am finally discovering myself again and am excited to share the journey with you 💞 wings grow strong once the cage is gone.”

Others said it might be good for Dennis to move on. “I think this is best for her,” another person wrote.
Heavy reached out to Dennis and Bravo but did not receive a response.
Queens of Bravo was the first to report the rumor that Dennis had left the series on January 9. “Shocker: We’re hearing from multiple sources that Kathryn Dennis is OUT,” they tweeted. “If true, this is how we’ll always remember her – dragging her haters.”
‘Southern Charm’ Might Have Caused Her Breakup
Dennis and her ex-boyfriend, Chleb Ravenell, ignited romance rumors in July 2020, according to Us Weekly.
They split in November 2021, and their breakup aired on “Southern Charm” in July 2022.
During season 8 of “Southern Charm,” Ravenell lamented to his co-star, Naomie Olindo, that Dennis was dramatic.
“When she comes home and talks about drama ad stuff, I’ll listen to her to a certain extent and then I’ll turn on ESPN and f****** tune her out. I think being around her is…I don’t know,” Ravenell said, per E! News.
Olindo wasn’t sure why they were together. “You don’t need to deal with a narcissist like that and somebody who is so toxic,” she said, per E! News.
Ravenell told Us Weekly “Southern Charm” caused their split but he didn’t hold any grudges against Dennis. “It’s for the best, but I am sad because I’ve been through a lot with her. So I always wish her the best,” he told the publication.
Dennis claimed they split because Ravenell was “emotionally unavailable.”
“I can’t keep trying if I don’t feel like you’re trying,” Dennis said on “Southern Charm,” per Page Six. “I never pictured what the moment would be like when we really like went our separate ways, but I really think that’s the best thing for you and for me.”
