I’ve been waiting for more Southern Charm Tea to make this post; but today I have another reason to write about this show. I’ve emailed my source for the latest but have not heard back yet. Maybe by the time I am done with this post I’ll have an update. The restoration is here trying to fix all the damage by they plumbing issue. The claims adjuster tried to tell me that this is not covered. My restoration guy and my insurance agent says that it is. So now we argue. So I am a bit scattered when writing this post.The following information as of the last day of August. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that THINGS CHANGE. But I have had no recent updates. When and if I get one I will update this post.
Southern Charm Is Coming Back!
“Southern Charm has been officially renewed for season 8. Taping begins next week (first week of September) and goes through mid/late December. Craig, Shep, Kathryn, Leva, Madison, John and Whitney have all had conversations with Haymaker about returning in some capacity. Craig, Shep and Kathryn received pick-up notices last week (The third week in August) . The others have only had conversations. ” I this point I started screaming for no more Leva. I don’t think my opinions have any influence but they do take online feedback into account. Bravo wants the show on air by February/March 2022.

I am so over Southern Charm that I didn’t rush to tell you this information at the time. Especially because Southern Charm is notorious at this point for having initial episodes rejected in its entirety for being crap. I feel like if most of the housewives shows weren’t sucking so bad, Southern Charm would not be back at all. But it is.
Warning Some Politics Ahead!
The reason I am posting this weak tea today is because, someone on Twitter sent me to a blind item that appears to be about Ashley Jacobs. My first reaction was “Who is Ashley Jacobs?” I am not kidding I totally had erased her from my brain. I had to Google and I was like, oh yeah, that bitch. Here is the blind item.
This former part-time reality star who got her start escorting before ending up on a reality show for a couple of seasons is very good friends with the newlywed wife of this politician. Federal law enforcement officials paid her a visit to ask if she knew anything about her friend’s husband smuggling drugs.
Somehow the CDAN followers immediately assumed it was Ashley Jacobs. Apparently she is friends with someone called, Ginger Luckey. That is apparently her real name and not the stripper name that it sounds like. She is the new wife of Matt Gaetz after the got married in California in late August. I knew that Gaetz was under investigation for sex trafficking minors, but I think the drug smuggling thing might be new. Am I right?
It’s good to know that Ashley has found her people I guess?
Ugh. No more Leva please. I’ll probably stop watching if she is back.
Does Katheryn have no custody of her kids?
I wish they’d bring Naomi, Chelsea, and Cam back.
I forgot to mention the custody issues. I stopped reporting on that because it is so sad. But Thomas has moved to Aiken and has gotten full custody of the children and apparently convinced a judge that Kathryn is back on coke. That is bad. But IN MY OPINION Thomas has been on coke for decades with no rehab ever. Anyway, She has SUPERVISED VISITS every other weekend I believe. Those poor kids .
Thomas ravenel is the Poster child for the me too movement. He is a predatorial alcoholic narcissistic bully . The only reason he has the kids and does what he gets aeay with os family monkey
Thomas new wife most be either very intelligent or a complete retard..
From what I’ve seen of his behavior, I wouldn’t trust not even his prayers.
Thomas does not have a wife or even a girlfriend. The new baby mama took the baby and ran last I heard.
But social media says they got married
I haven’t been keeping up with them. So I guess they could have. Last I heard she split with the baby. Again, I don’t keep up with them except for when he gets arrested for rape and stuff.
Thomas ravenel is the Poster child for the me too movement. He is a predatorial alcoholic narcissistic bully . The only reason he has the kids and does what he gets away with is family money.
Wait a minute. Thomas won full custody of the kids, but he’s kicked off the show and plead quilty to assault of his kids’ babysitter. What is wrong with this world. I hope it doesn’t send Kathryn off the deep end….AGAIN!!! Hang in there Kathryn 🙏 💓
He is evil. She only has limited SUPERVISED visits every other weekend. That said, neither of them are going to win parent of the year.
Is unacceptable what he’s doing to Katherine. Neither one of us ate perfect, but Katherine is an exceptional mother. Love her kids to death and has recover herself..shame on Thomas
I used to feel this way about Kathryn. But the truth is neither of them are fit parents.
Nah girl, Kathryn left the boy unwatched like twice in her front yard last year. Her neighbors got him bc of driving down road on big wheels by himself !! She loves them, but unfit.
Thomas is just like Gabby Petito’s “boyfriend” when he was talking to the cops. Judges are the worst in this country. To take a mother’s rights away and believe a Cokehead, cheating alcoholic like Thomas and give him FULL custody? Disgusting.
Thomas has custody of the children They are living in Aiken with him and attending private school there.
I agree. She is a bore that is full of herself.
I agree! Leva has NO VALIE ADDED to SC. Who cares if she WAS a friend to Cameron. You want to pin racism on Kathryn? Leva is the only one racist here… you talk about what has happened with Kathryn off camera… PLEASE LOOK AT LEVA.
I agree 100% !
Leva NEEDS to GO !!
She brings NOTHING to the show !!
Agree 100%! I may not watch if she is on it full time. Hoping she will still be a friend of instead.
Holy crap! That’s a big blind item. Hope it’s true & Gaetz gets put away for a long, long time.
Ginger’s sister hates Matt and has tweeted not-so-nicely about him.
I’ve read some of the things Ginger’s sister has said about him. The sister sounds like the one member of the family with brains.
Totally agree; I’ve read some of those too. I live in Florida and Gaetz is such a disgrace. He comes from wealth and was part of the frat boy type behavior that was so prevalent in Tallahassee. Lots of noise about him and his friends with partying with all sorts of women including those not old enough and paying them to “party”. Never heard noise about him and drug smuggling but I am up for anything that gets him out of politics and preferably in prison. His new wife is from So California so her knowing Jacobs could make sense.
I stopped watching So Charm a couple seasons ago. I missed Cam’s lack of messiness and missed her role on the show and while I liked Shep early in the seasons, it got tiring watching him not grow up. Let me know if Shep matures and maybe I’ll start watching again. I remember really liking the show the first several seasons.
BJ, don’t hold your breath about Shep maturing.
OOOOOHHHH SAY MORE!
Matt tried to set Ginger’s sister up with a dirty old man and she told him to fuck off. Her sister Ginger “disowned” her. Le sigh.
So frustrating regarding your plumbing disaster TT HUGS to you & BANJO! So over Leva! The latest was Katherine did lose custody AGAIN. She just doesn’t fly right or fly ” by the rules”. Thomas has baggage by his own wrong choice’s interesting how child custody is given.
The reason I didn’t like Ebony from RHNY was that she did too much of the finger wagging thing Leva did. By the end of RHNY Ebony was so much fun. There’s a way to manage difficult conversations without alienating people. Ebony eventually learned it. Leva did not. I don’t want to see her again. I love diversity and I’m always pushing for it. Charleston has a huge Black population and I wish they included more diverse people who are organic additions to the show. I loved Leva’s connection to everyone and she **could** have been a great addition.
Kathryn was a hot mess disappointment. I rooted for this single mom, especially since Thomas is especially heinous. It’s clear these two are awful people and deserved everything they got.
I’ll keep watching because I like the entertainment.
No Austen? What’s up with that?
Nothing. It just means that he hadn’t been given a contract yet at that time. This “tea” was pretty preliminary. As I always say thing change and develop over time.
Ehhhh, i lost interest in southern charm around season 5 or so. I do hope that Family Karma is coming back though for season 3. Any tea on if it is?
Put whoever Ginger is for Leva. Give her a clothes budget at Belk’s and let’s go to the polo match!!!
A friend bought 2 of Craig’s pillows and they are so much prettier and well made in person. I’m so glad Craig has found something he loves and is making money from it.
Go Craig !!
He’s gonna be on winter house !! I checked and he’s prettier than all the girls there.!! Lol😉
What about Austen? Surprised not to see his name here.
I asked the same question above and TT responded. He just hasn’t been given the contract yet.
Austen and Craig just filmed some Bravo version of Summer House but filmed somewhere snowy. Three of the girls in the house are fighting over AUSTEN. Which confuses the hell out of me. He must have hidden talents.
I heard from my source that “The network is currently tweaking the cast.” Also, They will have the final cast by end of next week. A few people started filming this week.
Stay tuned for future updates.
Thank you for the tea! HUG’S
Lol. I think it’s just bc he’s famous and easier than Craig. OR it’s bc he’s Madison’s sloppy seconds. Same way rob got alot of chicks when kim k first blew up . 😂
kathryn most llikely does not have custody as the younger child was diagnosed with F.A.S. this has been verified by the father . neither child has a shot in hell , as their parents are both crazy.
Leva was the worst addition to the show. The only reason it was done is because of all the racial politics at the time. If she brought value to the show, it might be different
TT, if you need help with your insurance situation, you can contact your state Insurance Commission, which should scare the bejeezus out of your adjuster/company. I predict if you do that they will contact you, hat in hand, within 24-48 hours. The companies hate nothing more than getting a call from the Office of the State Insurance Commission. Just be sure you keep a log of every poone call/every conversation that has trnaspired in the process with your company & anyone elese involved. Such a log can become a legaldocument. Good luck!
Wow that’s so helpful. I wish I knew that when my sis burnt mom’s house down.
OOOOOH! NWFlorida Girl here and I would LOVE to see the dirt on Matty-Boy hit the fan. Joel Greenburg, Seminole County tax collector (until recently) was one of his running buddies and is now running his mouth about partying with 17 year olds 🙂
I heard that Leva was getting her own show based on her restaurant bar The Republic… they compared it to Lisa V show. Anybody else hear about this?
I’ve tried to ask my source about this and it was neither confirmed nor denied. My source is in the middle of a crisis (AREN”T WE ALL?) so lots of things are sort of slipping through the cracks or the source doesn’t have time to worry about things like this at the moment. LOL. I sure hope not. Bravo just continues to circle the drain.
They have been playing good movies on the weekends sometimes though.
THIS IS ALSO THE REASON THAT I ASK YOU TO TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU READ ELSEWHERE WHEREEVER YOU READ THEM.
COMMENTING RULES
Leva can definitely go, she’s way to judgy. I didn’t see Austen or Danni on there. Hope they are both coming back. Thomas nor Kathryn need custody of the kids,as much as I love her she’s still a hot mess, Thomas needs to be in jail. Hopefully one day she will get it together, keep it together and get her kids back for good. Wish Cam would come back.
I so agree…..not a good fit for Southern Charm. Leva comes across as a bully ….bullying the most awesome Katherine….the show would be nothing if they didn’t have Katherine.
I love Leva. I think she’s classy, intelligent and brought a much needed level of social awareness to a very small, ignorant group of people. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not intentionally bad. Just privelidged and blissfully unaware. I think they all benefit from the element Leva adds to the show.
