UPDATE! My source says there is a huge “Kill Fee” too get rid of this genital wart so there will likely be some iteration of it. Because it is cheaper. BUT I SAY IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME TO PUSH THE KILL FEE BUTTON IT IS NOW.
Just when you think that Southern Charm production can’t get any worse, Haymaker manages to make it so. Despite what has been reported elsewhere, Southern Charm did begin filming at the end of 2019 with two new castmates. The first episode was sent to Bravo and it was completely rejected. They didn’t even send notes. They told Aaron Rothman, the guy who brought us that lunatic of a nurse from California, to start over and recast the two new people. So they had to halt production and they started back again around February. Aaron sat everyone down and told them that they all had to bring it or this would be their last season.
“Bringing it” in these Bravo reality shows means a lot of below the belt arguments, and the airing of everyone’s dirty laundry. Cameran was specifically tasked with being the bone carrier and keep everyone worked up and paranoid about what the other were up to. So that is was she did in the brief stint of filming before production was shut down a second time due to the pandemic. Tamara Tattles exclusive source says that Cameran got wind that Aaron was going to have someone come for her and her dirty laundry, she opted not to return to filming when (possibly if) they start back up.
Despite Cameran being one of, if not the highest paid cast member on Southern Charm, they offered her several incentives to persuade her to stay and film. I tried to get my source to tell me the storyline that Cameran found out about and did not want to film and basically all I got was that it was about her family, parents, husband, sister, all topics that have thus far been off limits. So she decided to abandon the already sinking ship with her reputation intact leaving around $640,000 on the table.

It’s probably a smart move. You don’t want to still be at the bar when last call comes and the lights come on. Frankly, I’m not sure if they will actually get season seven done. It’s been a total clusterfuck. Cameron has young child (who is gorgeous btw) and her real estate license, and a husband with a good job. She doesn’t need the money or the drama.
In completely unrelated Southern Charm news, Kathryn Dennis has been spending her time defending Trump’s racism by sending racists tweets and DMs to a local black female podcaster (or something) who is not happy Trump is trying to have some sort of racist rally in Charleston. Yep, Southern Charm is going to be a shit show.
Good for her. She has managed to just be on the outskirts for the most part and still get paid. I don’t blame her for getting out now.
Good for Cameran. Honestly, she wasn’t originally my favorite. But over time, she grew on me. And when Thomas finally got exposed for all his filthiness, she didn’t hold back, even as others on that cast kept covering for him. From then on, she became one of my favorite Charmers.
I already had zero interest in watching the next season. But now that Cameran is out, I definitely won’t be watching… If the show even returns. Other than Chelsea and maybe Patricia, I don’t need to watch the rest of them be drunken assholes on camera. I mean, we already get a shit-ton of that on nearly all the other Bravo shows!
My understanding is the plan for the new season is to up the ratchet even more than The felon and the nurse. Because everyone seems to really like to see black women degrade each other, that sentiment has leaked into every housewife franchise and now Southern Charm. I predicted this with my first mention of Southern Charm. I wasn’t even going to watch it happen. Then K Cooper Ray showed up and I was hooked.
Meanwhile Cameran was making about three times what Thomas was making for most of the seasons. https://tamaratattles.com/2018/08/14/exclusive-thomas-ravenel-was-told-to-say-he-quit-plus-his-salary-information/ She did get additional pay for narrating the show. Who will do that now? This show was already TANKING HARD. BRAVO HAS NEVER TO MY KNOWLEDGE REFUSED AN ENTIRE EPISODE. ESPECIALLY A FIRST EPISODE OF THE SEASON! AND STOPPED PRODUCTION AND MADE THEM START OVER.
Haymaker really sucks. I used to let Bravo use my screenshots but Haymaker rarely managed to get my site name up, and I saw no benefit to going through all the legal paperwork when they did. It was way more trouble than it was worth. Then I found out that Reality Tea legal refused to allow it at all, and I was just done with them. And there is not great flux of or any flux of new readers when I was tagged on a show. Ain’t nobody got time for that! I’m running my own site over here and it’s a full time JOB.
Chelsea quit too!
Bravo is airing reruns of Southern Charm and it is the one show that I have no interest in seeing again. I liked Cameran (except for when she wouldn’t even agree to coffee with Kathryn), but could never understand why she scored the highest paycheck. She was just a narrator and observer of bad behavior. We saw very little of her life except for the “do I want to be a mother b.s.” 640K is a lot to turn down, so good for her.
I saw something where Patricia was disappointed with one of the storylines. At the time, I thought it was Kathryn trying to film with Thomas, but it makes more sense that it was a take down of Cameran.
I’ll miss her – she’s so charismatic- but if the show comes back, I’ll give it a chance. There’s always scenery of my favorite place, Charleston, to distract me.
I did too, she was my favorite and got so much hate because she did not want the crazy that was Kathryn and Thomas.
I’m not sorry to see her go. I just watched the reruns and all she did was gossip & stir the pot. If Craig, Kathryn & Thomas weren’t on the show she wouldn’t have had much of a role on the show.
If Kathryn is a racist she can fuck off. I’m definitely not gonna support anything that has to do with her. As much as I like Danni, Chelsea & Craig, I’m out.
I really hope this is real. Cameran has a real life and shouldn’t taint it anymore with this fuckery
Sigh, I hope it is really Wednesday. Seriously? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HERE?
Apparently, it is Wednesday and I don’t care.
Cameran has been my favorite on Southern Charm for years, but it’s a good move for her, especially with the shit show they’ll be bringing us next season. I’m SO disappointed in Kathryn. I have no words.
Kathryn has kind of been trash for a hot minute.
There’s not one redeemable person on Southern Charm.
Well there was. That is why they were throwing money at her.And at least as of now she is throwing away $640K for her family. I’d sell you mine for twenty bucks at the moment.
When I get scared and want to call my brother, I get two options 1) All about him (2) I am not going to talk to you when you are drinking and scared to death. Both calls are initiated by me.
I cannot tell you how many times he has called me because he was bored on a long drive and wanted to talk about himself. FOR HOURS. Or wants to tell me about driving naked in his Porshe with his girlfriend. My brother likes to pretend like he doesn’t drink. BUT WE ALL DO.
I have like eleventy billion nieces and nephews that haven’t asked me if I need anything either. Yeah so…. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. lol.
OMG the “I’m driving” phone calls are the worst! Naked in a Porsche is entertaining and unique though!
Think of the truckers driving past. Makes their day! Or ruins it.
JustJenn called it,,,
This show should never have been renewed after Season 1
I’m proud of Cameran!
The clock is ticking on this shitshow anyways!
Get out while the getting out is good. Kathryn has made an ass of herself and I am glad Cameron didn’t want to associate with that anymore. I’m glad Cameron finally saw that it is not worth it. I think the other ladies wouldn’t want to film either.
To be honest, I can’t remember but I think Chelsea is out and another female. Like they quit already before or maybe after the first failed attempt. Chelsea may have even moved. It’s been so long since this show was even relevant, I can’t remember. I probably posted about it at the time. THIS SHIP HAS NOT ONLY SAILED, IT SAILED AND SUNK.
No Chelsea either??? Who’s left to watch other than Craig? Uch.
Dani! I love Dani. But she never went all in on this crap fest.
My understanding it was Naomi, Chelsea and Cameron.
So you’re reporting on this instead of that fool Kathryn Dennis and her racist tweet!
Please tell me you don’t agree with Kathryn.
Well either two things are happening here.
A) I have a KLAN MEETING ON TUESDAY
B)YOU ARE DUMB AS FUCK AND CANNOT READ
Hahahaha, love this response TT!
WAIT! Did she REALLY just ask if you agreed with Katherine‘s tweets! Even if the last graf weren’t there … REALLY? I wasn’t here at the time of the Catlady Fights, but I can in equivocally voice that may be the the most ignorant comment ever made on this site ABOUT this site.
Whether a person agrees with Katherine is JUST THEIR OPINION, but anyone who has to ask whether YOU agree has no reading comprehension about anything you stand for. Or against.
Lol
FANTASTIC RESPONSE!!
You think that is a fantastic response? Lol
Just curious. I remember how much you defended George Zimmerman. I also see how you flip a switch and freak out on your readers at times.
So who knows what goes on in your head….
All good. Thanks. Just asking a question.
I never in my life defended George Zimmerman. What I did do is explain Florida law and why he could not be prosecuted. BIG DIFFERENCE. And I was right, What I knew was if they followed the Florida law was that he was going to walk. And he did,. It sucks but jurors must follow the law.
As for what is going on in my head, I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. I’m old and most likely have COPD and I am all alone. So thanks for asking.
The only reason why you are not forever in the WLS is because TT decided to share your stupidity. We never bash our fellow commenters here, but you’ve done gone and asked for it!
I didn’t BASH you or T. I asked a question. I called Kathryn a fool because she is. But, I didn’t bash any fellow commenters. And I was genuinely curious as to Tamara’s answer.
It’s all good. We are all a bit on edge, me more than most. I am just sick of people lecturing me on how I should be dealing with things. Even the people I like. That is all. We are all going to do this how we do it. We do not have a template and are all doing the best we can.
Another Mid Week Madness Wednesday!!!
Maybe I was the only one who didn’t really care for Cameron. She was the men’s cheerleader, and rather condescending while keeping sure to keep her private life private except for the constant poor me, I have to be a mother and care for/about someone else. I’ve loved this show but I think it’s likely to be over also. I got the feeling like the monkey in Kathryn’s twitter was her calling the other person a flying monkey, but I don’t know what was in her mind. Or lack thereof.
As the last person on earth with no cellphone and who can only make the the smiley emoji the old way, I’d LIKE to think this was a mistake on Kathryn’s part. But I am trying to think about any circumstance when I would want to use a monkey emoji. I mean what is that supposed to mean? Like haha my mother is annoying during quarantine #monkeyemoji? I wish I could go work out #monkeyemoji? WHEN ON EARTH DO YOU PEOPLE EVER USE A MONKEY EMOJI? Maybe I took my kid to the zoo and they really liked the #Monkey emoji? IDGI. Now TRUMP I can totally see him using a #MonkeyEmoji…. see where I am going here?
She said something the lady was saying was monkey shit, but used the monkey emoji. However, there seemed to be more texts that weren’t shown in what I read where Katherine continued to insult. Katherine also apologized, so I guess that she must have been sending racist stuff, which certainly makes me not want to watch this crap season if it comes out.
And I use that emoji all the time because I use monkey as a term of endearment, especially with my nephews.
Well Kathryrn basically killed the show. It’s toast.
I see where you are going and I am right there with you.
No one with sense would use a monkey emoji to African American people…unless you are legitimately talking about the actual freaking mammalian animal. Example: “I am at the zoo and the monkeys (emoji) are my favorite! They’re exhibit was the best!” To use it as an insult is telling…
The store where Kathryn worked said they terminated her work as an ambassador to the store. #girlbye
*their, dangit
The best use of a monkey emoji is:
Half past a 🐵’s ass,
And a quarter to his balls!
Lol, I also like,
🙉🙊🙈
The problem is, her public apology doesn’t paint it as a mistake in emoji translation or a misunderstanding, which is the excuse errr apology I would have bet all my dollars on Getting III NG. It seems like she is apologizing for a lapse in judgement, indicating she was intentionally being racist. Am I the only one who gets that read?
You know all that is probably true but I still like her anyway. She’s just one of those lucky people…
I’m right there with you. I never understood quite how Cameron hit this jackpot. She was the voice of SC, was paid the most while making the fewest sacrifices, and NEVER got the bad or embarrassing edit. Her most “humiliating”moments involved adorably tipsy antics.
Everyone else had to go through uncomfortable or embarrassing things being shared, but never her. It only started to bother me when she was judgmental and condescending to her poor counterparts who did all the heavy lifting to keep this thing going.
So, I don’t hate her, I just don’t have a ton of sympathy for someone whose long overdue day of reckoning (and I just mean in relation to everyone sharing the load) eventually arrives. And still she has the ability to flutter away with a squeaky clean, high profile image, carefully crafted by season upon season of pristine editorial control. She got pretty darn lucky, considering the nature of reality TV.
And now for something completely different–
I’m getting a sickening suspicion that Kathryn orchestrated 🐒gate to create buzz over this dying show and lure people in for a front row seat to the Trainwreck. I have a hard time believing a high profile person in particular would risk putting something this appalling and controversial in writing to a stranger. Keep in mind this girl survived the courtroom reboot of War of the Roses with one Thomas Ravenel. She KNOWS the danger of a paper trail where her bad behavior is concerned.
Bingo on Cameran.
Bingo. Cameran knew exactly how to work the reality show biz and was in no way going to expose herself.
Between Cameron leaving and Catherine’s racism and Shepherd’s taunting of the homeless, Southern Charm is kaput. I still love Craig, though.
Same. I would watch Craig not sewing a single pillow all day.
And he’s a fucking Yankee. I am starting to feel like I am fucking Yankee these days.
Welcome, My Love!
Yes, Craig is the reason for any season. God Bless his pillowy lips.
I’m a Yankee (Ohio) but my great grandma was from Georgia so I like to consider
myself a southerner at heart.
LOL, I would watch that too. Graig is just entertaining. He gets it, it’s a job not reality
Craig not sewing a single pillow. I love you, Tamara.
Cameron had NO real storyline…….duh becoming a mother with limited freedom………duh…….She was boring, boring, boring!! Chelsea, what was her storyline last year? She didn’t have one………..
I will move to Charleston for $640K, they can film me 24/7………..my brother hates me anyway…….time for my husband and kids to jump on that wagon….
$640K…the dream…….what can do with that money? Pay bills, eat, rent,….ah living the life!!!
Since most people only like Craig, they should have him move and get his own show.
Exactly. Back in Connect te Cut being the male Martha Stewart. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Did you happen to watch that Martha Steward reality show?
From your lips . . .
I would watch him do anything. He is such a sweetie, and he is original — his own man. Very attractive to confident women.
I always related to Cameran’s standoffish ways for some reason, as well as her views on motherhood. A lot of times I feel the same way as her…
My overly traditional family keeps talking to me about how I should have so many babies because we’ll be such great parents and it’s my job as a human female to procreate and somehow not doing so, or only having one, makes me less of a female than other people with vaginas. Oh! and how could we forget that I am “getting older” and need to hurry up when I am under 30. Anyways, I really appreciated Cameran for being honest with her feelings about having a baby and motherhood. I did not see her as “woe is me”, but more as it was difficult for her to adjust to living your life for someone else, when you were very content living your life for yourself. I am sure she loves her daughter, but I also feel kids come into your life, you don’t come into theirs. Cameran has everything! Good for her in not staying to be embarrassed of the shitshow. I had a soft spot for Kathryn after her Thomas situation, and her just getting bamboozled by him so young. But now, I’m just disappointed in the adult she has become. She appears to be a big spender and maybe not so smart with her Bravo money, so I am assuming she NEEDS that check. I hope she has investing because this show is over.
So let me get this right. You had a baby and you feel like YOU NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN?
I’ve only seen this on TV and I am all like WHY DO WOMEN DO THIS? It looks HORRIBLE.
I had my tubes tied when I was 26. Other birth control methods were ineffective or not options. I closed my legs to married men, but not to single men!
I never regretted getting the surgery. But I knew SEVERAL women who told me they wished they had done the same. EVERY ONE began, “I’ve never been able to tell anyone this … and, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my children … BUT if it had been MY decision, I would have done what you did.” Either cultural expectations, family, or husbands wanted babies. They felt they could tell me because I would understand not wanting to have children.
Strangely, every boyfriend who had kids was always the kids and I loving each other and losing the kids (or dog) being the worst part of the breakup.
Wow. That’s a lot of money to leave on the table. Good for her. She’s earned my respect back. Kathryn, on the other hand, has lost all sympathy I ever had for her. What a piece of shit~ just like all the men on this show except for Craig. I hope he doesn’t stay friends with her or I’ll lose my Craig love. I’m actually happy this show tanked. The shepherd and t-rav bullshit was too much and I never liked Naomi or MaTool either. Or the stupid Austen/Madison thing. Good riddance and hope Haymaker is finishED! To think I enjoyed this show in the beginning… SMH
I do really feel bad for those kids though. And I always liked Dani. Hope she’s got other things going on for income. :/
I think Cameron is a self righteous twit considering the trashy show she is on and the fact she hosted Girls Gone Wild videos. She’s pretty mean on social media when people don’t agree with her. And the fact she quits when production is coming for her just like she came for everyone else in previous seasons is hypocritical. I always wondered why she got a pass on the show when everyone else gets dragged.
Agree 100%
She was also MUCH younger when she hosted GGW. She also has said she cringes when she thinks of it now. It may be hypocritical, but I can understand why she wouldn’t want to be part of it.
Being in your 20’s is old enough to be making sensible, competent decisions. Plenty of 20-year-olds do it Just because some don’t and do reality TV doesn’t mean others can’t.
She was like 12 when she did GGW. Get over yourself. If you were on Spring Break in Florida you would have done the same thing when asked. DO YOU WANT TO BE JUDGED FOR YOUR SPRING BREAK DECISIONS?
This is exactly what I was saying! And to add insult to injury, she lorded her inexplicable lack of a bad edit over everyone looking down her nose at them wallowing in the mud that kept the show on the air. Girl tempted fate too far.
Peraonlly, I always thought it was because all the men were in love with her, but who knows?
No one on the show is even from Charleston.
Pat is a joke in Charleston. She is a carpet bagging yankee flashing her money. Charlestonians HATE that.
Thomas Ravenel is exactly like his father.
I like Cameron and Craig. I think Shep’s fame went to his head.
I wonder if this is why Eliza got engaged?
I think Eliza is off the show and not part of recording…well, she WAS off the show – guess she may be back!
Craig is lovely BUT HE IS ALSO NOT FROM CHARLESTON. It’s phony show. The rapist dude was the only guy from Charleston. Cameron is from Anderson so kind of close enough. Shep is from Hilton Head maybe. I have a truce with Pat so no comment.
You know Charlestonians, if you ain’t born on the peninsula, you ain’t from Charleston.
If I had to guess, I’de bet that lipton was related to her Dr. Hubs DUI’s. They are from years ago and he’s gotten it all cleared up that kind of thing is not good for a professional license, like a medical license. Dr. Jackie was ready to leave her show because they made a storyline out of her possibly/arguably violating dr. patient confidentiality.
This may be a silly question, but is there any word on Southern Charm: New Orleans? I actually enjoyed that contrived mess.
I read the same story today…. apparently Kathryn Dennis was filming for the show and was the one going to spill the beans when Cameran got wind of it and quit. So Kathryn is dead to Cameran. If it’s true, so sad. Is Palmer even two years old yet?
Chelsea and Naomi are both out. Kathryn should be ashamed of her self on what she was DMing, it leads me to believe that her and Thomas had more in common that what we orginally thought. I’ll miss Southern Charm, as I enjoyed it, but it’s a sinking ship, and Shep is just cringe worthy.
Is this confirmed?
They might as well end the show now. Now Chelsea and Naomi are gone and now we find out Kathryn has a lot to do with it. I “was” rooting for Kathryn and thought she was getting a bad rap. Not anymore, we now she the true person she is. I am done with the show. They should of kept New Orleans instead of this train wreck.
I like Cameran and will miss seeing her on my screen. I have a sentimental affinity for her because of her being a part of Real World back when pretty much the only TV I watched was MTV. And I could totally 100% relate to her situation about being a woman trying to figure out whether to become a mom and how to be a mom when you don’t have the same maternal instincts as other women.
But Cameran has never been totally forthcoming and open about her life on this show. That has been a problem for all the cast members except Thomas and Kathryn really. Although Craig is open about his life now, that was only after his secrets about his law degree/bar exam issues got exposed by other cast members. But Cameran having an off-screen and Chelsea having an off-screen boyfriend just made it apparent watching these women that we were not getting the full story of their lives.
Looking back on it, “Southern Charm” has always been pretty much a jumbled mess of storylines and casting. They had a marathon of Season 1 a couple of weeks ago and it was apparent during that rewatch that if not for Kathryn Dennis just basically crashing the show then this series would have gone the way of so many other Bravo one-and-dones. I do not know how you fix it now all these seasons later.
I think that Real World with Pedro was on about the same time as OJ. It was a lot for me to deal with, The Internet was starting to happen and I may or may not have called Pedro’s bestie who married I think the Asian woman on the show and professed my undying love,
Maybe it is just me, but I tend to freak out when shit gets scary. And I get mad when I feel like I do not have ANYONE, But I do have someone, And I have all of you.
I appreciate you all for bearing with me here
So Cameron, Chelsea and Naomi are all gone and Kathryn has something to do with it according to their Instagram stories, I wonder what happened
The info is there.
I read somewhere that Cam left the show because of an alleged 2yr affair her husband was having. Production wanted to make this a story line and Katheryn supposedly outed her. Cam got upset because she’s worked hard to keep her private life private so she quit the show. She addressed this on a social media site.
The woman accused of being Jason’s mistress says she never met him. I believe her. I would need to see receipts to believe _anything_ Katherine said.
Naomie called Kathryn out by name for this and “MANY other things.” She added a monkey emoji to the end of her post.
I believe her too. Also, my source says the show is going forward. AIN’T NOBODY GOING TO WATCH THE SHEP SHOW.
It should now be called “The Shit Show”.
“That Shitty Shep Show”
I laughed so hard at That Shitty Shep Show that The Fiancée came running in thinking I was choking. (Especially the “That.”)
If I must recap it in the future to keep you fucks placated, this is what I will call it, file it under and publcize it as.
Updated.
Tamara, is there any truth to these rumors about Cameron’s husband having the affair?
I don’t think so. It seems to be a Kathryn initiated rumor. But I really don’t have any special knowledge of that part of the situation.
Call me stupid if you must but am I the only one who dont understand this update?
“My source says there is a huge “Kill Fee” too get rid of this genital wart so there will likely be some iteration of it. Because it is cheaper.”
Who are you calling a genital wart? Are you talking about the show itself? Do you mean it would cost them more to cancel the show? That must be an astronomical cost if its cheaper than the salaries and production costs combined.
I read Whitney actually had the original idea for the show. Is that true?
Honestly, I liked the show but if TRav comes back that could change. They cant possibly be that stupid to think that would improve the show. Who knows, maybe if they replace the 3 that quit with 3 that will start putting the guys in their place, the show might be watchable.
Yes. I was referring to the show as a genital wart. Apologies. Shep always make of genital warts.
Understandable, Shep is a walking genital wart.
They are all part of a shit show. Cameron included. I stopped watching last year. Only person I’ll miss seeing is Craig. I don’t think anyone will miss Cameron talking on camera with a mouth full of food. We all have done it, but she goes way overboard. People like that go out of there way to try to make others think they are eating. It’s very disgusting to watch. She was a shit starter. And her always complaining how hard it was to be a parent. She’s got a rude awakening once that child reaches teen years.
I will miss Craig as well but also Chelsea. She seems like such a lovely person.
I had forgotten all about WartGate until this! LOFL.
I am literally arguing with my source who says this show will be coming back because the Kill fee is to much of a payout for no product. I SAY if there was ever time to enact the kill fee clause this is it. But apparently, “The show must go on…” But this will be the last season.
Maybe contracts are in place and they would have to pay the production company and cast of characters anyways? “The show must go on!”
Just taking a stab in the dark.
The kill fee is a clause in the contract that protects the production company if a network wants to just terminate production. It insures that everyone is paid for the amount of work they have already done. So SOURCE says that the kill fee would be a huge expense resulting in no product. So they might as well let the Shitty Shep Show continue when it is safe to do so, and at least get some episodes rather than pay them out and get nothing. They would not pay them for everything, just the work so far.
From my naive perspective, I think if there was ever a reason to exercise the kill fee this is it. But this is a multimillion dollar project, so… it seems that Bravo suits feel like a shitty season is better than no season at all.
