Southern Charm alum Kathryn Dennis was recently caught on camera sobbing and arguing with police officers during her DUI arrest. The incident took place following a three car collision in Goose Creek, South Carolina. In videos obtained by TMZ, Dennis can be seen undergoing field sobriety tests, being placed in handcuffs, and arguing with officers over the arrest. She broke down in tears when the police removed her dog from the car, pleading with them not to take her pet to the animal shelter.
The dashcam video shows Dennis conducting various balance tests before being handcuffed and taken into the police car. Inside the vehicle, she continues to argue with the officer and threatens to sue them over her dog. She expresses frustration with the officers’ handling of the situation and accuses them of not properly conducting tests. She becomes emotional when the police officer takes her dog, begging them to let her pet be okay and not take him to the animal shelter.
This incident came six months after Dennis was involved in a hit-and-run at an elementary school, though she was never arrested for the alleged incident. She was also booked for driving with an open container during the DUI arrest. This is reportedly her first drinking and driving offense. Dennis shares two children with her ex, Thomas Ravenel, with whom she has had a tumultuous on/off relationship. She has struggled with substance abuse in the past and reportedly lost custody of her children last year after failing multiple drug tests.
Dennis left Southern Charm after eight seasons, citing the need to move on from the show. She expressed gratitude for the support and love she received from fans throughout her time on the show. Her departure followed her ex Ravenel’s resignation as South Carolina State Treasurer after pleading guilty to drug-related charges. Dennis confirmed her exit from the show in January 2023, after one season as a guest star. She reflected on her growth and experiences on the show, as well as the friendships she made and the challenges she faced over the years.
Throughout her time on the show, Dennis has faced personal and legal challenges, including struggles with substance abuse and custody issues. Her recent DUI arrest and the accompanying video footage have shed light on her ongoing struggles and the impact they have had on her life. Despite the difficulties she has faced, Dennis remains hopeful for the future and grateful for the love and support she has received from fans and those closest to her. As she moves forward from this latest incident, she is focused on taking the necessary steps to address her issues and work towards a positive outcome.
