Kathryn Dennis has been involved in two car accidents in the last month. On August 2, Kathryn crossed the median on highway 17 and took out three trees and two light poles landing in a ditch on the other side of the highway.
It is now being reported that last Wednesday on highway 41 Kathryn plowed into a line of stopped cars. She rammed into the back of a stopped car causing a chain reaction. In total, four cars were damaged. She was driving a rental car at the time due to the earlier accident.
In both cases, her children were in the car. Air bags were deployed in both accidents and no one was injured. Also, police reports indicate that there was no alcohol or drugs involved in either accident.
Kathryn has had a very difficult few weeks. Her mother passed away a day or so after she filmed the Southern Charm Reunion. Her mother was terminally ill with cancer.
Kathryn recently finished a long drawn out court battle with Thomas Ravenel that essentially ended in a stalemate. Both were petitioning for primary custody. Thomas was named the primary caregiver; however, the two were awarded joint custody.
Damn
Can Thomas use this against her since drugs and alcohol were not involved? I’m sure her head isn’t in a good place right now. I honestly didn’t like to drive a few years back when my dad killed himself. It just didn’t talk much for me to bawl my eyes out & I couldn’t focus or concentrate. I was aware I wasn’t myself. She has just been through so damn much! I’m really rooting for her. I want her kids to be safe. I want her to be ok and I want her to be an amazing mom. I still believe she’s the better parent for them.
take not talk
Kathryn and Hunter Price have also broken up since her mother’s death. I hope the police were diligent in screening so Thomas doesn’t take her back to court.
My only two wrecks were 3 weeks apart.
I’m thankful they are safe, and I hope KD gets some rest and maybe a driver for awhile. This is a vulnerable time for her.
Wow! She had to have been on her phone.. no one is that bad of a driver !!!
And we know this to be true how? Listen, none of here have any clue what happened at all. She’s been through a lot in the last few months. Maybe her psychiatrist is in the process of switching or readjusting medications and something isn’t going well. Maybe one of the kids did something that distracted her. I remember one time when my daughter was little, I was trying just to back the car out of the garage, both hands on the wheel until I turned and put my had back along the seat to make sure I was backing out correctly (driving a Ford Blazer), glanced and saw my daughter had managed to open my purse, grab my wallet, and was just in the process of tearing up my grocery money (which at the time money was very hard to come by for me) into tiny pieces – it wasn’t a huge amount, but it wasn’t small either and I did try to stop quickly and carefully, but I hit the side of the garage so hard that I took part of the door frame and my side mirror completely off on one side – like to have scared both her and me to death it was so loud. See how quickly things can go wrong – her children are small and a whole variety of things could have been happening in the back seat of the car. I just think it is best not to irresponsibly speculate when we don’t know Kathryn personally and we did not witness either accident. This could have happened to any of us, and yes, it could happen twice, especially with small children. I feel so badly for her – going through that hateful custody battle, losing her mom, losing the guy she said she was in love with by breaking up, the reunion wasn’t a good thing either – it’s a lot, people get distracted whether they want to or not, and children can distract us. Sorry for being long-winded – your post just pushed a button for me which I know you did not do intentionally.
I don’t KNOW what happens and neither do you.. Look .. on the show and her IG she’s on her phone. I am on her side and wish her the best, but she needs to prioritize.
I lost my mom and my brother in 2 weeks .. I’m not discounting her pain..
if you also look further down, I am not the only one saying so.. she was MOST likely on her phone.
I think she was also on her phone in the first accident we heard about in her parking lot when she plowed into a parked care trying to pull out of the parking lot. Why doesn’t SC have a hands free phone law? SC does.
Kansas does.
I was thinking that too.. NY does as well.
TN recently passed hands free law.
So did TX
Georgia as well
Huh? Why are you defending a stranger who was in two MAJOR automobile accidents so close together? These weren’t minor finder benders – you would have to be an inattentive driver, not driving within a safe distance, and massively distracted for either of those events to happen.
My worst fear in the world is to have someone like Kathryn driving near my loved ones – but you’ll defend her because you saw her on your TV.
I just wish this girl could catch a break. She’s very young to be dealing with all of this. My hope is that she will grow stronger and overcome all her obstacles. These reality shows are damaging to anybody who participated in them.
She does drive with no hands BUT i am assuming she’s using cruise control.
Wish her well. Dealing with Ravenel is rough enough.
Wow! Someone is watching out for her and those kids to walk away with no injuries both times!
ok katherine now is time to put your damn phone away. We know you’re using it because we see you post instagram stories while driving. I’ve been a supporter, but now I’m a little pissed off..
Ugh she does that?? I honestly think the penalty for being on your phone while driving should be the equivalent of a a dui. It’s so bad and I see every day.
I am always rooting for Kathryn but I do cringe when she makes a video or IG story WHILE she is driving. Please, everyone, put the phone away while driving!!!
I really am rooting for Kathryn. But she has got to figure out a way to get her shit together. Luckily no one was injured but I can’t imagine Thomas won’t find a way to use these incidents against her.
Two car accidents in 4 weeks. I’m sure it will be blamed on all her problems and stress. I don’t think she has the depth and humility at this point to even think to herself that driving while texting isn’t a good idea. Why would she care? It’s everyone else’s fault.
Can we leave her alone, and stop crucifying her? My God, the reunion was a repulsive to watch those hypocritical misogynists (women included), once again take endless stabs at Kathryn. It was like the cast saw blood in the water, and they went in for the kill. What is it about Kathryn that they all hate her so much? Craig is an effing drug addict, Shep an alcoholic. Cam’s husband has a DUI. Shep has an arrest also. What in the fck of fcks was that last night? Enough, she lost her mother, in a slow painful manner. If you haven’t experienced it as those of us have, it’s horrific. Leave Kathryn the fck alone, for once. How she has endured Trat’s mental warfare and stayed sane, is unfathomable.
Thank you! and let’s not forget her Grandmother died 2 years ago (Nov 2017) and Charleston traffic DOES SUCK..I cannot imagine the stress this young woman has had to deal with.
My grandmother died two years ago too. Can I nearly kill people with a two ton death machine?
I don’t know, CAN you?
This! 1,000 times, THIS!!!
What is Shep’s arrest for?
I googled it. Intoxication/disorderly, 2016.
So young & so challenged in life! Kathryn has been to hell & back at a young age. She has no support system, her Mother is gone! She was ill but they Luv’d each other very much! But I’m a true believer that the Good Lord doesn’t give u what u can’t handle. Kathryn is a survivor & she will weather this storm! She just needs to keep her eye on the prize, which R her children. I hope she finds true friends bc these aholes were absolutely disgusting. They attacked her to deflect their deviant behavior!! They all sleep with each other to include Cameron that tries to play Miss Goodie Two Shoes!! Lol They keep the Health Dept busy with all those STD’s! LMAO Yes I believe Shep gave Danni that STD! He’s a pig like the rest of them!
I barely remember the weeks after my father passed and I am much older than Katherine. She is a very young lady to have this much on her plate all at once. A parents death due to cancer, Add the break up, add the stress of custody, and the judgment on social media. I’m just glad everyone is safe. She sounds like she is overwhelmed. I hope she has a good support system.
I worked with motor vehicle insurance claims and there are just some people who are terrible drivers and have constant accidents and think it’s normal. I had many clients who thought going three months without an accident was admirable. I do have to admit however they were 90% younger ladies and when drugs and alcohol were ruled out, if I asked if we could check their cell phone activity at the time they got VERY nervous.
I do not in any way condone Katherine’s actions, however I think back to all the crazy things I did when I was in my early 20s and am thankful there were no cameras around. I cannot imagine having a relationship, let alone try and raise a family in front of the cameras. I stopped watching after the first few episodes this season as it looked as though Katherine would crash and burn and I couldnt stomach it. I am rooting for her! Austin is a wet noodle, Shep (who I used to love) gives me the creeps and I just love Craig. Chelsea is my girl crush.
Thank you! I’m glad that there wasn’t the internet and cell phones when I was that age! I honestly have thanked God profusely for this! Lol!
Oh amen. I was a teen in the 1970’s. Kathryn is a product of our times. I suspect she is making money the most legal way she can. Being an influencer means a lot of interaction. I do not condone what happened. But…
Clearly she needs to put her phone away.
I am definitely not jumping to the phone conclusion. The stress of her mom, plus — sometimes you just get spooked when you’ve had a car accident, and that obviously can lead to a second one. Maybe Thomas could use some of his hooker money and help her out with a temporary driver.
I think I am all alone here in left field apparently. I am sorry for the loss of her mother; I know that pain and grief. But no one is forcing Kathryn to continue to parade her problems on Bravo. Maybe she should stop worrying about her wardrobe, a new and better home that she doesn’t have to furnish, looking for a brand new man & falling instantly in love repeatedly, and putting herself in situations which have booze & weed. I believe her cast mates indicated that they thought she was drinking.
She can hire a driver herself. What is wrong with her? Her children were in the car – I could repeat that 100 times. Do the right thing, Kathryn, and focus on them and their safety. I find her actions appalling.
Not in the minority at all. I totally understand kids can be a distraction but your phone should be down until you are at your destination. She wants the world to believe she is the struggling single Mother doing the best that she can. I think she wants the best in life and her kids with others while she has her fun.
DoN’T cOme For mAh SoBrieTy…
Everytime I hear that line I think they are not sober.
I really hope she keeps it together. I feel very sad for her with so many things going on.
That said, I babysat for a couple once, I must have had my first fender bender and she said she went through three cars in two weeks when she just got engaged. That’s how she knew he loved her, one was his car! Anyhow, things happen, as long as everyone is safe and no driving under the influence is involved she can learn from it.
It is amazing she and her kids were not hurt, and though she has had a number of stressful terrible events, she needs to put the CAR away before she kills someone. It is literally a death machine and no matter what the reason maybe driving is not a good idea right now.
Luckily she hasn’t hurt her kids or anyone else. If she keeps this up, they’ll snatch her license.
