Gross Southern Charm Production Interference
The Fourth Attempt At An Ashley Confrontation Scene
So he pushed the ball to January 17th. He claimed it was because he needed more material due to the initial filming delays caused by Hurricane Florence. I do believe that played a role in it but others felt like it had more to do with trying to finagle a confrontation between Patricia and Ashley. Remember, Patricia has not been in any of the three previous scenes with Ashley. Rothman (and Ashley) really wanted that confrontation to happen.
While Ashley Jacobs may have arrived unescorted, Patrica Altschul did not. Patrica Altschul was wearing some very expensive jewelry and decided to hire a bodyguard just to be on the safe side. Plus, it gave her the added benefit of having someone to hold the umbrella and help her navigate the rain. As it turns out, he also came in quite handy for removing uninvited guests from her fancy event.
Gee, Whoever Could Have Given Patricia The Heads Up?
But, Patricia Altschul had heard that Ashley Jacobs was trying to attend the event. So, she informed the bodyguard of a potential unwelcome guest. I’m told that Patricia Altschul did not engage with her at all. Ashley was escorted out into the rain by the bodyguard to go back to wherever she came from. She fled to wherever Thomas Ravenel was waiting on her so they could drink away the sorrows of their miserable realities. The invited guests on the other hand, briefly celebrated her departure and then continued to enjoy the party without giving her another thought. Strike four for production.
The Conclusion
Side note: Lots of the ladies took photos in the bathroom of the WIlliam Aiken House due to it’s glamorous decor. The William Aiken House is one of the beautifully restored antebellum homes in Charleston and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. It is currently a popular place for high-end weddings and glamorous parties. Which begs the question, what was the dress code for this event and what on earth is Kathryn wearing? Did she forget her skirt?
And That’s The Southern Charm Tea!
Thanks for spilling all this fresh hot tea, TT!
At the very least, it’s reassuring that the cast continually refused to take the bait. I’m sure Rothman will include the Ashley footage, and perhaps he’ll make it seem like she’s being “bullied” (or at the very least, let Ashley spin it as “bullying”). But considering how widely known her “business partner” and his pattern of abuse now are, I doubt the new season will help Ashley win over new fans. If anything, she already has some of us wondering why she wants to follow in Kim Richards’ and Phaedra Parks’ scandalous footsteps.
Thanks for the tea TT! Dear Bravo: I won’t be watching. #byeashley Way to bring down a franchise. She’s vile. She has tarnished SC and if they put her on screen for one second I’m done with the whole thing. I just don’t care that much.
Great TEA TT!! I agree w you re Haymaker- they are dreadful s all the Thomas / Trashley cominglings!! I am sure Whitney gave Patricia a “ heads up “ w Trashley! I would have loved to see them abandon her and focus on others…
No, no one loves to hate Ashley.
She and Thomas should marry after Katheryn gets full custody of the kids if Thomas doesn’t get 15-20.
This Rothmann person is a moron.
We like this cast because they do get along. After their first reunion Andy Cohen said it was the only group he’s ever had to all go out and eat together after the reunion.
I’m dying that Patricia had a body guard with her that removed Ashley.
Not quite the NY housewives went out after the reunion two seasons ago.
It was the 2015 reunion, I had to google it and go to bravo to be sure but all of the ladies went to the hunt and fish club after the reunion .
Yes, however Southern Charm did it first.
On that note, I doubt Ashley could survive the kind of reading to filth that Bethenny, Dorinda, or just about any of the other RHONY cast would give her.
She wouldn’t even be an appetizer for those ladies
Maybe the next couple for love after lockup?
I hope Ashley got mascara run, ruined hair, dripping, soaking wet!
I also hope that tramp will come to the realization that she’s in a losing situation and she’s just making herself look stupider and stupider.
It is my hope that the last we see of her is getting tossed from the party into the rain crying her mascars off and getting soaked with no umbrella.
Loving that image, TT. Can see the caption reading something like (Using Ashley’s line, replacing “nanny” with “bodyguard”, )
“THE BODYGUARD! UH HUH! REMEMBER HIM? THE BODYGUARD! YEAH! THE BODYGUARD!”
Once upon a time, there were two little TV shows that became huge blockbusters. “Friends,” a show revolving around a group of six friends; and “Seinfeld,” famously “a show about nothing.” What the shows had in common were funny, witty, intelligent people who we came to care about.
There is NO GOOD REASON that same “formula” wouldn’t work as a reality show. Find a group (not manufactured) of authentically funny, witty, intelligent people. I never worked as hard or laughed as hard as when I worked in the photo department of a small newspaper. No drugs, no booze. (THAT would have made a great show.) When people came in for formal shots, they ALWAYS left laughing. With the budgets for casting, SURELY they could find a group of people, even if they need wealthy people. Just go to ritzy events and eavesdrop. No Rothman manipulation needed. Especially with beautiful historic locations as backdrops.
YES. I love/loved Southern Charm because the cast, especially in Season 1, got along and seemed to enjoy one another. The glimpses of the Charleston landmarks, as well as seeing inside the lush interiors of Patricia’s and Thomas’s (he’s vile, but his homes are lovely) homes made it even more enjoyable. I watched SC in spite of the Thomas/Kathryn/Ashley drama, not because of it. Witty snark is fun; demeaning shrieking matches are not.
Exactly! That was why I was so excited about the New Orkeans SC. Then they had those HORRID HORRID women.
Exactly! That was why I was so excited about the New Orkeans SC. Then they had those HORRID HORRID women. I hope they get someone better if it goes to season 3 because Reagan’s wedding is one of the “highlights” next season. That sure was fast. Divorced, pregnant and remarried between the end of seasons 1 and 2.
They have that show in Sweet Home which makes me laugh out loud every episode.
LOVEEEEEEE SWEET HOME! I even LOVE watching the re-runs. Pumps! Tubbers! Great homes! Great Friends! Great Laughs! tricks & pranks! they’ve got it all.
Wish Bravo would show new episodes and get it on a steady time slot.
Me too.
YES AGREED. WHY DON’T THEY LISTEN?? This is why I liked it at first and it’s shocking how low it fell. Worse than Jersey Housewives! LOL
Good for the Southern Charm cast for circling the wagons and just saying no to the shenanigans!
I’m confused. So why didn’t Whitney step in as one of the producers against Rothmann and put an end to filming with Ashley. Did Whitney purposely turn a blind eye??
Whitney’s producer credit is just a vanity as they used his original docu-drama reel to create the show – I don’t know if he gets a financial cut but he has no say on how the show is put together or editing.
Well, knowing that things didn’t go her way explains what’s happening now. The crazies are out in full force, working on plans to pay everyone back. Pure evil, the lot of them.
Bless you Tamara for giving me enough good tea that I can watch the season without feeling dirty. I was one who said I wouldn’t watch if Ashley returned. Sounds like she won’t be more than a mere bit of smudge on my screen. I love Southern Charm for the focus of the city I fell in love with when I visited as a child and where I hope to retire. Can’t wait for the season to start!
Ashley really wants to be on tv, no matter the “plot” or outcome. I’m glad the cast banded together to do their best to have minimal interaction with her. The thing I love about SC is the genuine friendship the girls have together. One thing I don’t understand about Bravo franchises is how people can do nasty, horrible things to you and the next episode the say sorry, kiss cheeks and act like it don’t happen for 2 episodes and drudge it up again. Oh yeah, paychecks just to be “yourself.” The difference with the SC girls is the are more authentic and invested in one another’s lives. The hang out when there is no filming and support each other whole heartedly. The odd squabble is bound to come up. I’d just really like a franchise where people treat each other well & continue to do so. They have enough going on, that they are interesting without manufactured drama. Rothman needs to go.
Is Whitney still a producer on the show? If so does he have anything to do with the people that are asked to appear? I would think since he knows his mother hates Ashley he would do the most to noy have her appear on the show at all. But I don’t really know what duties the producer has.
These posts have been riveting! I can’t wait for the season to start! Any clue when they’re going to start airing, TT? By St. Patrick’s Day, maybe?
Thank you for all the Sothern Charms updates. I’ve been checking in 24/7 for new updates. Love Tamara Tattles
TT,
What happened between Kathryn Dennis and Jaime Huffman (charlestonblonde)? They were attached at the hip and then mysteriously on kathryns page all (except one) of their photos together disappeared. A photo posted on CarolinaYachtGirl’s Instagram recently also revealed Jaime and Ashley Jacobs standing next to eachother in a large crowd. Wtfff
That should answer your question. My understanding is that someone invited people onto a boat cruise and Jaime went knowing Ashley was attending. End of friendship. What more do you need to know?
Interesting. I think Kathyrn is wearing one of those dresses with the see through skirts. I’ve seen a few of those dressed on celebs in pictures on the red carpet
Thank you for this clarification. Had I seen some scummy trailer for the season where they stretched out Ashley’s 3 second scenes to make it appear she was back, I would have had heart palpitations. This Rothman asshole has known Kathryn for years, seen what Ashley put her through and is trying to rub her in her face for a few seconds of trash footage?
There is so much to like about these kids and he is trying to drag it into the gutter. Disgusting.
Very reassuring recaps, Tamara. Thank you. As another one of your followers who was “wailing and carrying on about never watching the show again”, I’m really relieved I won’t have to go to such lengths. Not that I really would have, in all honesty, but it sounded good in a passive-aggressive, old granny kind of way. God forbid I should have actual scruples and keep my word when it comes to boycotting my reality shows. I’ve sunk to the bottom of the pond, and can’t seem to find my way back. Not trying very hard actually. I’m getting rather used to being down here with all the algae and muck – apparently, I fit right in. Can’t wait for the show to air – it’s one of the few that I have actual withdrawals from when each season ends.
Hopefully after so many strikes, they will get the memo that the cast nor viewers want to see anymore Ashley.
LVP is the quintessential fun villain to watch. Ashley is not.
exactly, LVP and Patricia are love to hate, not a fan of either but both need to be on their shows, They serve a purpose and both have lots of fans, dumb fans but fans nonetheless Ashley is just a disgrace to the world, Why in the holy hell do they go to the west coast and pick call girls, ALLEGEDLY like the dolphin and Thomas’ paid companion to be on a show called southern Charm? They are neither Southern nor Charming. It’s such a stupid idea to transport Californians to a show about Charleston. If you need more cast members, there are hundreds of beautiful women in Charleston. There are also respectable gentlemen too.

Ashley is the Brandi of SC
She’s way way worse than Brandi! And I can’t stand Brandi
Sticks and stones, I am not dumb. Love me some LVP and miss Patricia is growing on me.
Me too. I just can’t hate on a woman who drinks while she dresses. And I love LVP with her British snark and side sniper ways. I would watch a show of just her, her house and her zoo.
Kathryn is wearing a jumpsuit with see through pants. She had the link to the suit in her Instagram story from the night of the party. She looks fabulous and i love that she is daring enough to pull it off.
Thank you TT for this hot, hot 4 part tea!
It looks like Trashley is the captain of her own demise. She started out today by Instagramming that she’s going to Patricia’s house with an AK 47. The instagram post is apparently a joke? It’s been reposted by various Instagram accounts. Aaron Rothman should be fired for pouring gas on this fire, a fire that is clearly mentally ill. This is what the SC fans saw – a woman who is mentally ill, unstable, deranged. She’s not a villain, she needs a 5150. Huge difference. That…is why we don’t want to see her again. Hopefully, Patricia has called the police. Now if Aaron can get Ashley’s arrest on video, I would tune in.
I agree, she’s mentally unstable and the fact that production purposely puts her in potentially inflammatory situations is really shameful. I’m proud of the cast for rising above this kind of maneuvering.
As far as the Instagram post, out and out scary, and TT gets in trouble over one word on SM, and yet this kind of threat is ok? Our world is scary enough these days, why would she even be considered for filming and now that she has filmed hopefully she’ll be edited out. She just can’t help herself can she?
I’d love to see the post you folks are referring to. Did she delete it?
I’m still trying to understand Instagram and Twitter (wet behind the ears) after reading again, it doesn’t look like Ashley posted this, someone from her crew?…still in very poor taste.
Lordy, I’ve seen them I think. Heavens to Betsy, it doesn’t look good for Ashley or Thomas. That was in extremely poor taste and judgement.
To me, the “storyline” to carry through into this next season is not Ashley at all – but Kathryn and Patricia! I love it when they tweet support for each other, or mention that they’ve been together, etc. Kathryn has the grace and poise to become the “grand dame” herself someday.
Honestly, with the men that are still on the show, they’ll have enough storyline with all the women having to deal with those “kids”. LOL.
Holy shit. I hope the police have been called and dumb ass is in jail. She’s off her rocker enough that I would be very very concerned/scared. If that isn’t enough for the powers that be to finally get rid of her, then the whole cast needs to ban together and quit. There is no excuse for this behavior. I hope charges are pressed against her. I also hope Kathryn has her children and are staying out of sight . Unfortunately in this day and age shootings are too frequent and tragic.
The attire for this ball is a far cry to last year! The guys look like they are dressed for a middle school mixer in the gym
I am pissed at the blog ,Celebrity Insider for stealing your intellectual property, Tamara. Those plagiarists credited TamaraTattes with just ONE fact and summarized everything else as if it was their reporting! I need a drink?!
Thanks for letting me know. I have had the posts taken down for copyright violation. Always let me know when you see this. It is illegal for them to steal my work.
Great! As a former English teacher I have no tolerance for plagiarism.
I’ve got two questions or comments.I really do not want to watch the episodes with Ashley Jacobs.How do we really get there attention that she is not wanted on the show.Also if her and Thomas are supposedly not together than why fight the restraining order which he is and throwing Kathryn’s boyfriend in there.He should just say fine she’s out of my life so the restraining order is fine with me instead of fighting it.He is so dumb.
I don’t know how I freaking missed your updates on Ashley from Jan/Feb – holy smokes! I just read them for the first time – either that or I’m catching my dead mom’s dementia now too. I had a chick in my life (not willingly) – she was a coworker of my ex’s (who was NOT my ex at the time), she slept with him, and then proceeded to be bat-shit crazy for almost 2 years. She knew that I worked from home, so she would call the house at least a minimum of 60 times day/night, either hang up or say the most hateful things, then she started playing these stupid mail games – I went to my local post office, talked to the postmaster and he took all my evidence and sent it to the state’s main office in the capitol city, where they proceeded to lose the entire file. She was stalking my place even after the ex and I got divorced, which made me so incredibly stressed that I literally would shake all over and feel like I was going to barf 24/7. Yes, I was scared of her – I had a child in grade school, a husband who did not grasp the concept of being faithful and not a freaking liar and cheat, who just loved all the attention he was getting – so I gave up and left. I ended up having to move out of state on the recommendation of my therapist (who was also terrified of my ex too). Please, I hope AJ get the heck back to Cali ASAP and gets the heck away from everyone in Charleston – these women are a cancer that will eat your heart and nerves out and not bat an eye. They have zero consciences and will resort to the worst possible things that you cannot even dream up as a normal person. I’m taking it that Kathryn’s custody is not going to end well and that breaks my heart for her – how can any judge in his/her right mind not see that TR is a horrible, horrible person and not a good father. It literally boggles my mind.
