CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: Fans of 'Southern Charm' are in for a major shake-up in the cast, as sources have revealed that Kathryn Dennis is out and she has not been offered a new contract for the next season. The reason is said to be the multiple no-shows and poor treatment of the staff. The rumor comes a month after she was threatened with being kicked out. The rumor was first reported by Instagram account @queensofbravo. The insider said Dennis had been struggling with money problems and said, "this is a wake-up call" The news has broken the hearts of fans who are now speaking out in support.

The 31-year-old television star was faced with two Rule to Vacate notices last year for her WestEdge apartment, which she once shared with ex-boyfriend Chleb Ravenell. Now she could lose the show, too. The source told the US Sun, "I know Bravo didn’t offer her a contract, but when you treat people poorly like she has they finally get sick of it. She doesn’t show up on time or show up at all during filming a lot. She treats people like they are beneath her. She can’t stand anyone doing better or getting more attention than her." "I think that’s why a new producer was brought in; the previous one couldn’t handle it anymore," the source continued about the star's exit from the Bravo reality show. They further said, "I know she’s had money issues and now I don’t know how she’s going to work, she’s never had a job. I’m worried for her, but maybe this is a wake-up call."
