CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: Kathryn Dennis was recently arrested for allegedly 'squatting' inside her cousin's home. 'Southern Charm' star cousin's neighbor from a Charleston, South Carolina residence dished all about Kathryn's messy drama to the police.

It appears like Kathryn doesn’t need to be on a television show to have drama in her life. Kathryn's personal life turmoil has always kept her in the news, despite the fact that she was released from her contract because she essentially stopped turning up to events that were being filmed.

Why was Kathryn Dennis arrested?

'Southern Charm' star Kathryn allegedly created a messy situation while living with her cousin. According to All About The Tea, "She [Kathryn] pooped on the floor and vomited in bed, that’s when cops came and threw all of Kathryn’s clothes into her car." Police reportedly intervened after an unspecified incident involving the 'Southern Charm' alum played out last week. A source, who identified herself as a Charleston resident, spilled the story explaining that a friend witnessed a 's**t show' unfolding at a neighbor's house. The source revealed she was told that 'the cops were literally throwing clothes into her car'.

Is 'Southern Charm' star Kathryn Dennis OK? 

After the incident, Kathryn's cousin reportedly texted her neighbor, "Well my cousin is a psychopath right now and has lost her children and is on drugs, and she was squatting at my house," as reported by the outlet. Due to her drug use and mental health concerns, Kathryn was reportedly unable to appear on the Bravo program. The 31-year-old entered a marijuana recovery program in 2016, claiming that alcohol wasn't her problem. As per reports, Kathryn has a history of drinking and was a complete mess while 'Southern Charm' Season 8 was being filmed.

Inside Kathryn Dennis' legal lawsuits

Kathryn has been in legal trouble for years for multiple reasons. The reality star lost the permanent sole custody of her two children, Kensington Calhoun Ravenel, 9, and Saint Julien Rembert Ravenel, 7 to Thomas Ravenel. Earlier this year, Kathryn settled an eviction lawsuit and hawked items on Charleston's Facebook Marketplace as she prepared to move. Bravo producers cut ties with Kathryn after becoming weary of Kathryn’s unprofessional behavior during the filming season. The decision came after Kathryn accused her ex, Chleb Ravenell, of assault. A subsequent investigation was unable to substantiate her allegations.
