Southern Charm<\/em>‘s Kathryn Dennis <\/strong>forgot about… well, the charm.<\/p>\n

The Bravo reality TV star has found herself in hot water and is now apologizing for her racially “offensive” messages that she sent to radio show host, Tamika Gadsden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For some backstory: Over the weekend, the radio show host called out a beauty salon owner in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina for hosting a “Trump boat parade.”<\/p>\n

“In Charleston you learn, fairly quickly, that the face of White Supremacy resembles that of the boutique-owning, gatekeeping glitterati,” Tamika shared on Twitter<\/a>, alongside screenshots of the salon owner’s event that was originally posted on Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

She added, “This is Katie Shields<\/strong>, owner of Mylk Bar in Mt. Pleasant. She’s organizing a Nautical MAGA rally with her friends. Katie is reprehensible.”<\/p>\n

So how does the Southern Charm<\/em> star fit into this? Not long after, Tamika posted her Instagram conversation with Kathryn over the matter.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I guess I didn’t give her the response she wanted,” the radio host wrote<\/a> in reference to the Southern Charm<\/em> star’s messages.<\/p>\n

Some of the Instagram DMs show Kathryn asking Tamika, “Why are you calling us ‘white people?’ that is so racist.” Another message from the Bravolebrity reads, “Ha dude u are crazy.”<\/p>\n

It appeared Kathryn didn’t stop there.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In other messages Tamika shared<\/a> online, the Southern Charm<\/em> star also wrote, “Grow a pair.”<\/p>\n

She added, “That’s how serious I take this,” and also included a monkey emoji. Another response read, “You’ll learn.”<\/p>\n

Tamika took to Twitter to slam the reality TV personality over her Instagram messages.<\/p>\n

“This is what happens when a Black woman in #Charleston speaks up against white supremacy in the form of MAGA rallies,” Tamika’s caption read<\/a>, alongside a screenshot of her and Kathryn’s Instagram exchange.<\/p>\n

She continued, “My comments re: Mylk Bar prompted this @BravoTV “actor” @KathrynDennis to taunt me with monkey emojis in my DMs. Along with a whole host of other names.”<\/p>\n

In light of the messages surfacing, the Southern Charm<\/em> star issued an apology.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I want to acknowledge that using a monkey emoji in my text was offensive, and from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone I hurt. Although the context was not my intention, there are no \u201cif ands or buts\u201d that excuse me… part 1<\/p>\n

“I want to acknowledge that using a monkey emoji in my text was offensive, and from the bottom of my heart I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone I hurt,” she expressed on Monday<\/a>. “Although the context was not my intention, there are no “if ands or buts” that excuse me… part 1.”<\/p>\n

Adding, “Part 2: ….I did not give it thought, and it was and is wrong. I know I am not that person. I know and will do better.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
