Former “Southern Charm” cast member Kathryn Dennis is raising eyebrows again after posting a bizarre Instagram Story that left fans concerned and confused. The Bravo alum appeared to call out a current cast member in what can only be described as a chaotic and cryptic video. Though the Story has expired, the transcript is still making waves online.
Former ‘Southern Charm’ Star Targets Mystery Cast Member in Rambling Video
In the now-deleted Instagram Story, Dennis appeared to accuse a “Southern Charm” cast member of copying her signature look. The video kicked off with Dennis claiming that someone had dyed their hair red and bought the same car as her, seemingly to mimic the show’s self-proclaimed “OG.”
“I heard on the next season that someone buys the same car, dyes their hair the same color as me, of course, the OG,” she said. “And then it’s because they tried to put the E before the Y.”
What followed was a string of confusing statements: “Oops, did I just accidentally bust your arc for Season 11, which is, I think, 2.5 aka like you’re trying to be my season season, which is super lame, but also kind of weird.”
It seems impossible to decipher, but fans believe she may have been talking about newcomer Salley Carson. Dennis, who didn’t appear to look like herself in the video, veered into strange territory with mentions of algorithms, seashells, and even a reference to Edgar Allan Poe.
“So second season in 2018, did I just accidentally read your script? Because if you have the first name of every cast member. Oh, algorithms,” Dennis said in the since-deleted video. “And she sells seashells by the seashore, LOL. Tortured poet, babe. Tortured Edgar Allan Poe. Bro this is not broccolini. This is the O of the storm, baby. Unfold. And say Bravo, the opera sang the name, the fake one. Gosh, I’m sorry, it’s you.”
Kathryn Dennis Reignites ‘The Bachelorette’ Rumors (That She Probably Started)
Shortly after her rant, Dennis reignited an old rumor by sharing a screenshot of a 2018 Google search suggesting she was in talks to become “The Bachelorette.” That year, she hinted at the idea on Twitter. She told fans that she was “kind of in talks about it.” So, it was Dennis herself that started the rumor in the first place. It was never confirmed that she was considered as a possible “Bachelorette.”
However, the resurfacing of that moment has fans speculating once again about whether or not Dennis is plotting a return to reality television. Or maybe, she is simply revisiting her past for attention. Either way, her name is back in headlines, and that might just be the point.
Since leaving “Southern Charm” after season 8, Dennis’ life has taken several twists and turns. In the same year she announced her departure, she lost custody of her children and was involved in a hit-and-run incident. In 2024, she was arrested for DUI, and the dashcam footage of her post-arrest breakdown went viral.
Despite her troubles, Dennis occasionally offers fans glimpses into her personal growth. On Mother’s Day 2025, she posted touching tributes to her children, Kensington “Kensie” and Saint Ravenel. In June, she shared an artistic selfie in a red dress and crown with a caption that read like a dramatic, yet cryptic, rebranding.
“She walked back in red. The court didn’t crown her — the storm did. KCD, 8:29 PM,” she wrote.
“Southern Charm” is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
The insta story was vague and all over. Hopefully she’s doing better. I’m always hoping for the best for her. I can’t even fathom sharing children with TRav. Hope she’s healing and seeing lots of her babies
