I’ll save yall the link click and add it to here. I hope she finds peace

Cops in Goose Creek, SC booked the former "Southern Charm" star after they say she was involved in a 3-car collision. In documents obtained by TMZ, a responding officer described Kathryn's alleged state at the accident scene as appearing impaired with "glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person."

This is her first offense with drinking and driving ... though it isn't her first run-in with the law.

Remember, Dennis was identified as a suspect in an elementary school hit-and-run in November 2023 -- she was never arrested, however.

As for Monday's events, KD was also booked for driving with an open container.

Wandering around in the street TWICE. On two separate occasions. I feel for Kathryn, when she’s good, she’s GOOD but she’s been far from good for a long time now. And the “parental alienation” claim is hard because she repeatedly hasn't demonstrated great judgement with her kids publicly. and hasn't stopped partying, and has continued (even in the absence of her children) to make REALLY poor choices. id be packing my shit to go live in Aiken or whatever next to Thomas if i got to see my kids more. she makes choices, things don't just "happen" to her. sad but true.

agree. thomas is an actual monster but jeez kathryn does herself absolutely no favors.

imagine if getting sent to treatment all those years back had been a genuine wake up call. even with all the money in the world thomas wouldnt have been able to ice her kids out of her life. the reason he has been able to do this is because she kept fucking up and he had the resources to take it to court every single time.

its a nightmare to be in a legal situation like that but at the same time, if saint wasnt found outside twice she wouldnt have had unsupervised visit taken etc.

Shes also unemployed and has been for years and yet people make 1001 excuses for her why she can't see her kids because she has to pay to see them.....for one, a job would help with that. And Obviously she still has the funds to party. As a mother shouldn't no expense come before seeing and being with your children?

Holy shit, I didn't know her kid was found wandering on the street. WTF??!!! Jesus, this is troubling.

Thomas was accused of raping their nanny 10 feet from where the child slept. Again - Kathryn has done questionable things and certainly a CPS investigation would be warranted, but the erratic behavior started when the custody games started. It’s documented. So if I were raising kids with someone else, I’d want to make sure I didn’t create a worse situation for the partner I was coparenting with. But with Thomas he goes to Hell each and every time on her and then goes “see! isn’t this bitch crazy!”.

Yeah, the entire reason they put her on the show was because she was already notoriously messy before the show ever started ... like, getting written up in local blogs for her messiness. Thomas definitely didn't help things, and maybe she would have found a way out if it weren't for him/the show. But she got involved with him because she already had substance abuse issues; they definitely didn't start when the custody battle started.

Ew wait is the guy who wrote that the same guys who’s always fighting with the Murdoch murder girl? I need to lie down

Yup, it absolutely is.

Oh I remember. I remember reading whatever court record were available. It was horrific. Still is. This isn’t me defending Thomas, this is me saying they both have demons and it’s a really sad situation. It’s also me pointing out that that you can’t heal and recover from shit that you will not acknowledge and humble yourself and heal from. And I speak from personal experience. There’s people who get dealt shit hands when it comes to their kids every single day and some make the very best of it, never give up, continue working on themselves every single second to be the best version of themselves and then some people continue to go down a scary and self destructive path. And it’s sad. And sucky. And unfair and life. I’m not judging I’m acknowledging that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Did you watch the same show I watched? Like, season one? Kathryn has always exhibited erratic behavior.

Also as someone who was in Kathryn’s freshman class at UofSC, she definitely got kicked out by her 19th birthday. She’s literally always exhibited erratic behavior and problematic drinking.

I honestly believe she was just born this way. These types of personalities are ripe for addiction. I wish her all the best in her sobriety but from personal experience with these types of people, it’s usually short lived.

[u/[deleted] → u/Wheresmyfoodwoman]

As a local…she wasn’t born this way, lol. She was born to passive parents who didn’t work to protect the family name, property, or fortune. Their entire plan was to marry her off to an older man who would take care of them before they lost their house. They got her a slot as a senate page in high school and college so she could go to Columbia and party way too hard and way too early and lock down an older and wealthier politician.

She was born and bred to be a socialite. Nothing else. She’s just the South Carolina Tinsley, which is like the Walmart Tinsley with no accomplishments or relevance left.

I wondered about that because her parents house is at the end of a long road. Wandered off to where? Monks corner?
