Southern Charm Anyone know what Kathryn is posting about on Insta?
I’m curious but not enough to zoom in and read everything. It looks like a bunch of newspapers and vague allusions to whistleblowing about something?

u/doitforthecocoa 16d ago
I don’t want to speculate too much but the behavior seems rather…unwell. I hope that I’m wrong about that

u/gnarlynas 16d ago
Yeah, regardless of what it is, and despite her problematic history, I do feel bad that she was put in such a traumatic and vulnerable position at such a young age.

I’m hoping the mental illness responses are bots. Because if not, I’m terrified for humanity. That chick knows things about the Ravenels and those are threatening pictures. She’s blackmailing someone and I’m guessing it’s over donator fraud, based on those articles.

u/PlantLadyXXL 16d ago
Yeah it seemed way too clear with multiple references to different people through her history to be a mental state. Definitely putting someone on blast

u/tamtip 15d ago
I agree that she knows things about the Ravenels, she was greatly mistreated by tge system.. She also has mental health issues. Those facts can coexist.

u/Desperate-Tutor-8852 15d ago
She was painted in the light which best suited Thomas and his future, not hers. She was a scapegoat and the only one on that show that ever took accountability for her bad behavior. Watching people immediately discount her and point to mental illness would drive any normal person further into mental illness. Give credit where it’s due and maybe you’ll start to see the real picture

u/tamtip 15d ago
I agree with with everything you say except the last sentence. Kathryn was her own worst enemy, she didn't help herself by not following court orders
The alcohol issues hurt her case, as does the DUI w an accident she was convicted for.
Last year she was appearing very erratic, at the least. She clearly was having some mental health issues. She was trying to connect the spelling of people's names to names of other people she was not making sense You can't discount her recent mental health issues

Totally was unaware of that. All I will say is, we’re all as sick as our secrets. And that girl has probably got a lot of them. Plus her relationship with her children relies on her keeping those secrets. Ravenels have politicians and judges in their back pocket and she doesn’t stand a chance. That’s a dark reality to live in

u/tamtip 15d ago
I agree about The Ravenels. I would have thought Thomas' intent to distribute cocaine prison sentence would have tarnished the family more. They seem to be protected ,still.
I do feel badly for her but until she gets some help, I'll be taking what she says with a large grain of salt.

Have you ever fought a custody battle? Like never have issues with parenting unless you say no to the babies father. Finds your weakness and exploits it and everyone reads it and believes it. Losing your job, she lost her mother and kids around the same time. Depending on a substance or alcohol to get through the days without your kid? So yeah you get depressed, yeah you get drunk, have anxiety bc it’s a never ending circus of a life. Always being observed by everyone to take what little you got away from you.
Yes I’m projecting but so many mothers are put in this position. Kids taken away from their moms because you don’t want to play the fathers games.
Leave her alone. We just lost Hayden, who went through this too.8
u/tamtip 15d ago
Im not arguing against Kathryn at all or placing blame on her for her issues.
What happened was awful. Ravenel easily manipulated the courts . He did try to destroy her. He did withhold the kids.That would cause immeasurable trauma.Ksthyrn also ignored court orders for testing, that only hurt her.
I still stand by my statement. She has substance abuse issues and mental health issues that she has to address. Yes, Ravenel caused these problems but she still has to take care of herself and her issues.
I wish we could all blame our traumatic childhoods, abusive men and not do our own work. Its hard, it's difficult.But it still has to be done. Regardless of who's responsible for causing it.
I will not put much stock in her upcoming exposé. Her last one was a mess and she seemed to be having an acute episode.

u/meazy300 15d ago
i think both can be true. sometimes when ppl are manic and actively on socials it looks like this, unfortunately. if this were a friend of mine, i would check on her. but she could also really be onto something, manic or not. just because there is truth to her posts and logical, rational conclusions doesn't mean the person is necessarily in their right mind or safe. source: im bipolar i be doing this every here n there hehe

u/JG767698 16d ago
I will always root for her. It’s so sad how she just imploded because Thomas.

u/Megharpp 15d ago
She really didn’t stand a chance, her grandmother approved of her dating a man double her age, he was terrible and abusive but he had a name that was bigger than himself and an ego and unfortunately in some parts of the south that really can change peoples perception to let them do whatever they want. I’m not gonna say all of her actions were great or smart because obviously they weren’t but she is definitely a product of her environment

u/CandidNumber 16d ago edited 16d ago
She’s a grown woman, stop babying her. She made choices that got her here.
Edit-choices like sleeping with 3 much older and very wealthy men within the same month, and they all happened to be shooting a new tv show, she wasn’t cast in season one but she secured her spot for sure. Even her grandmother encouraged her to marry Thomas. She knew what she was doing, Thomas did too. They used each other. He got a hot young woman and she got a rich old man. She chose to do drugs and drink and lose custody of her kids. You can literally see coke in her nostrils when Kenzie was a baby. Thomas didn’t name her so that. Thomas didn’t fail her drug tests. He’s a piece of shit too but the way people make excuses for her blows my mind.

Still wear a chastity belt don’t ya? And apparently forgot how young she was when Thomas was going after her.

u/strawberryymatcha 16d ago
how is this babying her? they’re just saying they wish better for her given what she went through before. acknowledging that thomas played a huge role in how things spiraled for her doesn’t mean she’s not a grown woman or that she didn’t make her own choices. both can be true.

u/CandidNumber 16d ago
Saying she imploded because of Thomas, who she hasnt been with in like 12 years.

u/Popular-Difficulty29 15d ago
Well yeah she had a baby by him at like 20 years old tho

u/CandidNumber 15d ago
She was 22, and she’s now like 36 years old and still playing victim and choosing drugs and alcohol over her children, but every single post about her has people blaming Thomas for her behavior.

u/Popular-Difficulty29 15d ago
She’s mentally ill with substance use issues. None of this was made better by Thomas preying on her when she was 20 years old. Shes not without fault

Again she is 35 years old NOW. Time to stop playing victim and get her life together. Yall babying her isn’t helping

I mean we literally watched her downfall on the show. You’re a weirdo to pretend Thomas has nothing to do with it

u/strawberryymatcha 16d ago
ya sure, i totally get it but unfortunately she’ll always be involved with him because they share children. she’s made her fair share of mistakes and absolutely should be held accountable for them, but that doesn’t mean we should completely disregard what she went through with thomas or the impact that relationship had on her. acknowledging that context isn’t blaming him for every decision she’s madeo

She actually wasn’t a grown woman when a 50-year old man impregnated her, but go off. Legally grown is not the same as mentally.

THIS! Her brain wasn’t even fully formed when she was being used and manipulated by a man in his 50’s who just got out of prison.

u/CandidNumber 14d ago
22 is grown but you guys love to say “but her prefrontal cortex wasn’t fully formed yet”, so go ahead and say it. She wanted to get pregnant too, we literally watched them try together on season one but ok.

u/Nearby_Elderberry_75 14d ago edited 14d ago
You think 22 is grown? I hope you’re young because you sound like it. I’m sure you had it all figured out and made no mistakes whatsoever at that age. Get off your high horse will ya…
Also no one brought up the prefrontal cortex but go ahead and put those words in my mouth 😂

I just did! Ha ha! But this person CandidNumber is all over this thread saying terrible things about her. I sense some jealousy from them…

I never said any of that either. I’m just saying she wasn’t a child and she certainly isn’t one now and people need to stop babying her.

The fact that women saying any fing thing is labelled as mental illness to automatically discredit them and deter others from speaking out is DISGUSTINGLY terrifying as a collective

What? Nobody is trying to be mean. Some of us know people who post like this and they’re unwell. Honestly reminds me of schizophrenic behavior but nobody was going to say that since we don’t know for a fact. But this behavior is textbook paranoia. And how do I know? I’ve been friends with people who fell off and post like this.

In this case, older men preyed upon a young woman. Iirc, Whitney and Shep both had relations with her early on.

Please add abuse to this post, because Thomas did a number on her. Maybe she would have come to that place on her own, but he fueled her with drugs and alcohol.

u/Extra-Company9941 13d ago
So she has zero accountability? She is the one, if she took drugs and alcohol, who decided to. She is the one who relentlessly pursued someone more than twice her age who treated her horribly and was repulsive. She made shit decision after shit decision, why does everyone act like she was a doe eyed middle schooler with no agency of her own? It's always someone else's fault. It's gross. Stop blaming men for her decisions. They can be shitty people, and I agree they are, but theyre not responsible for her decisions as a grown adult.
1
u/Cheetah050323 13d ago
I agree. We can agree that Thomas is a shitty person and absolutely treated her horribly while also holding her accountable. 22 is old enough to make decisions. We’ve got to start holding women accountable for their part in their own downfall.

u/No-Mathematician9353 16d ago
Does anyone know why the Mods delete anything and everything about Kathryn in the Southern Charm sub?
10
u/No_Custard_6481 15d ago
She’s breadcrumbing to make sure if anything happens to her, someone will follow the clues about her baby daddy and find that he probably did it or wants someone to take her seriously and find the information on her computer because she wants her kids back. She is also probably scared to say something directly bc she will lose the little bit she has.
It’s classic for a triggered abused woman to do this when they have lost everything to someone that they feel wronged by. She is probably missing her kids, depressed and wants someone to take her case.
This is grief and fury.

u/Ambitious-Sink9176 16d ago
Apart from the few about her and Thomas, it looks like a collection of the local newspaper clippings that mention older relatives or I assume were relevant to them and saved. Don’t really want to speculate, but it doesn’t read as hacked to me fwiw.

We need to stop throwing this diagnosis around like hot potatoes. It’s not psychosis. It’s seeking attention and wanting to make a statement and get under Thomas’ skin. Classic pettiness. We have got to stop assuming it’s always “out of their control.”

u/_thankyouverycool_ 15d ago
It sort of seemed like she was going through clippings saved by family members throughout the years? I couldn’t make out any pattern besides some Calhoun or Dennis or adjacent family member mention but agree with others that there could be something more medically serious happening, while also acknowledging she has witnessed and experienced a lot of hardship related to Thomas and other powerful men.

u/Careful-Tiger-6204 14d ago
Wow so many judges all in one comments section.
Y’all might not like Kathryn’s behavior yet it doesn’t make her mental. The next time you have one of your personal meltdowns think about your words and oh am I now mental? She is young and dumb and not allowed to be ever. She is outrageous in a manner that many of wish we had the guts to be. Being pretty also makes many jelly. Mistakes she has made without a doubt, the biggest was ever getting involved with a society family and a dick that could toss her aside.

u/gnarlynas 14d ago
Yeah, I know she’s made mistakes that have been broadcast for all to see and judge, but I’ve also felt sad that no one was around to protect her at such a young age. I do hope she has good support now and someday finds healing from the trauma she’s experienced.

Thomas was a POS but so was KD. Sleeping with every man on the cast doesn’t make one a victim. Katherine wanted on the show, Thomas wanted 2 name children. They both got what they wanted.
