Kathryn Dennis has confirmed her exit from Southern Charm after eight seasons on the Bravo reality series.

The Moncks Corner native tells Page Six that she’s ready for her “next chapter,” after getting canned by the network.

“What a wild ride it’s been!” Kathryn Dennis, 31, said in a statement to the outlet on Wednesday.

“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,” she continued.

“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 Dennis thanked the viewers, who watched her “grow up,” and build friendships she will “always treasure” and “become a mom to two amazing children.”

“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,” Dennis concluded before thanking everyone involved in the series.

Kathryn’s announcement comes after Deadline reported on Tuesday that she would return for the ninth season, as a “guest star.”

As viewers know, Kathryn skipped out on both cast trips in season 8 and did not get much screen time until the reunion.

As exclusively reported, Kathryn was fired by the network because she became too much of a liability. A ROCK solid source tells AllAboutTheTea.com exclusively:

Kathryn accused her ex-boyfriend, Chleb Ravenell, of physically assaulting her, and the allegation caused a firestorm for production. Kathryn told producers that Chleb punched her in the face during a heated argument, which resulted in a black-eye and swollen jaw. Bravo conducted an investigation and at the conclusion of their investigation Chleb was fired from Southern Charm. Later, Kathryn was also fired because of the legal liability the allegations pose. They can’t really prove Chleb assaulted her, and  her injuries could stem from fillers and Botox.”

The source added, “Producers grew tired of Kathryn two seasons ago, and they were slowly phasing her out after she became a total diva and a liability to work with; but after the shaky domestic violence allegations, they finally pulled the trigger.” 

The local source told us, “Plus Kathryn’s mental health issues and drug use was affecting her ability to show up and do her job effectively. Her cast members and producers became fed up with her total disregard for their time, constantly missing events or showing up late, and random unprovoked outbursts.” The source adds, “They tried to help her but she’s in denial.”

The season 9 cast of Southern Charm will consist of: Shep Rose, Craig Conover, Madison LeCroy, Austen Kroll, and Naomie Olindo. It’s not certain if Leva Bonaparte, Venita Aspen, Taylor Ann Green and Olivia Flowers will return for the upcoming season.
