Kathryn Dennis from Southern Charm has gone through a lot during her six seasons on the show, but some fans aren't sympathetic because they consider her a villain. In the past, she has treated people poorly and offended Southern Charm viewers. While she has irked the cast too, most of the show's stars give Kathryn a pass. They do so because of the stress that her former partner Thomas Ravenel (who had a recent custody battle with Kathryn) has brought to her life over the years. Nonetheless, fans and castmates are not letting her use Thomas as an excuse anymore.
Kathryn is now 29 and she rose to fame when she had a recurring role on season one of the Bravo series. The following year, Kathryn was promoted to full-time Southern Charm cast member. She has been a part of the show ever since. Throughout the series, she has dated several of the men in the cast, including, Shep Rose, Whitney Sudler-Smith, and Thomas Ravenel. Craig Conover tried to woo her. However, it seemed to be Thomas that she really loved. Even though they did not work out in the end, they welcomed two children together. Besides relationships, Kathryn developed a few close friendships, but she's had some falling outs too. Since she joined the series, Kathryn has been a polarizing character.
Viewers started to see Kathryn as the villain after her former costar Naomie Olindo alleged that Kathryn was the one who spread the rumor about Cameran Eubanks and her husband, Jason Wimberly. Ahead of filming for season seven, it was reported that Cameran left the series because her husband was having an affair. However, she denied the claims. Cameran and Jason both said the allegations were false, and so did the woman who was rumored to be the mistress. Later, reports surfaced that Kathryn was the one who started the rumor about Jason. She has never confirmed or denied this.
Kathryn made headlines again in May 2020, when she used a monkey emoji during a fight with radio host Tamika Gadsden. They were arguing over Instagram direct messages. The radio host released the texts, and Kathryn was accused of being racially insensitive. People were offended that she used a monkey emoji while having a conversation with a Black woman. The mother of two took responsibility for her actions. On Twitter, she wrote, "I want to acknowledge that using a monkey emoji in my text was offensive, and from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone I hurt." She added, "Although the context was not my intention, there are no ‘if ands or buts’... I know and will do better." Her costar Leva Bonaparte tried to help her navigate the situation and learn from her mistakes, but Kathryn seemed defensive the whole time.
Kathryn has made a lot of mistakes in her life, which have led many to believe she is a villain. Season seven was not the best year for Kathryn on the show, but her life after the season seems brighter. Also, there is always next season. Hopefully, during season eight, she can redeem herself. Then, fans will no longer view her as the Southern Charm villain.
