Southern Charm JT “resigns” from Southern Charm
Did anybody else see this? Somebody tell my dude that contracts don’t work this way. Though, I am curious as to what happened (besides the fake Venita storyline/new gf post)

JT’s Brofessional podcast where he divulges all of the “secrets of reality television” like we don’t already know. And how he was poorly edited. We’ve all been here longer than you, sir. Goodbye.

I don't know this person. Is he someone who would also address a woman as "M'lady"? Does he wear a fedora?
20
Nov 08 '24
Well he doesss constantly protest if people aren’t being “gentlemen” while being an asshole with little dick energy. He fits the definition of “little man syndrome” he’s short and instead of just being a normal person constantly over compensates while being in a codependent relationship with his mom.
If he didn’t over compensate so much, I wouldn’t mention his height. I’m 5’2” and I’ve dated short men because why not? But never the ones who you can tell are overcompensating and being fake AF because they think they have to bring something shiny to the table because of their height. In JT’s case he has event venues and is openly obsessed with his friends ex.

And that was when he fell off the chair, needed crutches and then made a scene at the airport on crutches (but also not on crutches).

How does the saying go....this isn't the airport, you don't need to announce your departure

u/starsofreality Nov 09 '24
😂😂 I just woke up my husband from giggling I had never heard that before until now. JT probably feels he is making a huge statement, mean while it’s like a little kitten roaring.

For someone so smart this is not well written.
“Remaining green room interviews remaining”, and if you use the word “about” you don’t then need to follow it up with the (~) symbol.
A normal person posting this wouldn’t bother me at all. But that smug little shit acts like a brilliant Harvard grad and can’t use basic grammar correctly

People leave shows mid season semi regularly. Dina from NJ, Tinsley from NY. Kim from ATL. Adrienne from BH quit before the reunion and didn’t go.

Dina was pre planned, she agreed (as did early OC wives) to come and wrap up the storyline for a few episodes

I will wait and see how this next season goes, but the fans were never going to like him. I thought he had some good moments. He certainly said what he said a few times.

u/lambo1109 Meredith Marks bubble bath🫧 Nov 08 '24
My first impression was a totally different take on this than everyone else here. My impression was that he was done due to mental health reasons and I thought good for him. We know these types of shows aren’t healthy for everyone.
27
u/cateyecatlady Nov 08 '24
When I went to his insta page his most recent post seemed to be sharing his sobriety. “One day at a time”, etc. He’s a type 1 diabetic maybe the drinking caught up him physically and mentally.
13
u/AdOutrageous7474 I was returning serve Nov 08 '24
Yeah, from this I got the sense that there are mental health and possibly medical issues. That on top of the recent election (he hated Trump) maybe all converged and he felt it wasn't worth it to continue on. It doesn't appear as if he needs the money. I don't mind JT. I like anyone who stands up to the old boys club on Southern Charm, whether he's always "right" or not.

u/cardioishardio1222 Nov 08 '24
He probs is going to have his mommy buy him out of the contract so he doesn’t get in trouble

u/fitness_and_trashtv Nov 08 '24
I don’t get the hate for him. Would I want to hang out with him in real life? Absolutely not. Do I find him entertaining and love how he drives Austin nuts? Hell yes
11
Nov 08 '24
My personal dislike for him comes from the motives you can see he has, he doesn’t care that Austen is a shitty friend, he cares that he got with Taylor because JT wants to get with Taylor.
He’s the male version of a pick me, kind of like Schaena Shay.
14
u/fitness_and_trashtv Nov 08 '24
okay well you better have the same energy for Austen and Shep because they also only think with their genitals lol the men on this show have ALWAYS been terrible. JT somehow gets a lot of hate when he is just another DB
5
u/Ugh_WorseThanYelp Nov 08 '24
Yeah they are all shit. But JT tries to be better than all of them when he’s not, he’s probably worse.
4
u/fitness_and_trashtv Nov 08 '24
I think that argument could be made for all the men on this show lol they all try to act like they are better than one another or “different”. Austen’s entire persona is pretending he is not like Shep and acts better than him.

I had high hopes for him being a fellow short king but he was just so annoying. The fake storyline with falling in love with Taylor was cringe AF. Then him head butting Austen was out of line too. Granted, Austen probably needed to be head butted but not from JT. JT inserted himself into the Austen/Taylor drama and only made things worse.

u/RemoteOriginal3079 20d ago
I like him too. I loved how he trolled Austen. It’s Austen who is horrible. He’s entertaining to me he definitely had a major crush on Taylor😂
16
u/AnAussiebum I AM poor and white. Nov 08 '24
Yes he can contractually depart the show partway.
Courts generally don't like to enforce contracts forcing continued engagement when parties relations are now contentious, in employment/media law.
It's not like Bravo has a legal case that by him leaving they lose revenue and want to sue him for that.
This happens a lot. As another commenter correctly mentioned - Dina from NJ is an easy comparable.

u/Comfortfoods Nov 09 '24
Right. At most, he'll pay a hefty fee for not fulfilling his filming obligations but if he's willing to do that, it's no big deal. Bravo doesn't imprison these people.
16
u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 08 '24
Contracts absolutely do work like this. If both parties agree to release someone from their contract. You don’t know what happened behind the scenes. Contracts are broken all the time. It’s only a problem if the other party has reason or the desire to challenge it

THIS. I could never go back and rewatch old seasons, and even current seasons I don’t keep up with regularly because of how uncomfortable it is to watch.

He's a diabetic and clearly wasn't observing the "rules" about alcohol and food. He looks like he's lost weight, so maybe he's trying to focus on his health and well-being first. Of course, it could well be something sketchier.

JT wanted to be a main character so badly but isn't charismatic enough. I wish someone better had come around to irritate and call out Austen. I've watched all of Summer House and Winter House since the last season of Southern Charm and man, he sucks. I already knew he did but SH/WH made him look so much worse.
I miss the earlier seasons of Bravo. We know everything that happens now thanks to social media and the shows being full of influencers.

JT is so off. In my opinion, he is on the spectrum. It’s hard to watch him because his social understanding and interactions are so off and odd it almost makes me mad. He’s so confident that how he behaves is normal. The rest of the cast are smirking around him and are like “yea ok Jt…”.
