Madison LeCroy Addresses Rumors About Thomas Ravenel’s Return To ‘Southern Charm’: “It Would Be Great For Us”

It looks like Thomas Ravenel won’t be rejoining the cast of Southern Charm after all — at least, according to series regular Madison LeCroy.

The reality star recently spoke to Page Six, where she opened up about the rumors surrounding Ravenel’s potential return to the upcoming tenth season of the hit Bravo series.

“No, I mean, unfortunately, it would be great for us, I think, but I have not heard that or seen that at all,” she told the outlet.

Speculation began flying after someone claimed in a since-deleted TikTok that they saw Ravenel speaking with production members. The former politician also debunked the online chatter on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) earlier this month. When someone asked him if he was coming back to the show, he replied, “No.”

Ravenel was an original cast member on Southern Charm, which largely followed his turbulent relationship with his now ex-girlfriend Kathryn Dennis (who eventually became the mother of his two children). However, he was fired during Season 5 in 2018 after he was charged with assault and battery for an incident involving his kids’ former nanny. He later pleaded guilty to the charges.

Meanwhile, the popular Queens of Bravo account recently told fans to “expect some cast changes” on Southern Charm — and unlike the rumors about Ravenel, LeCroy was able to confirm this one.

“I’ve got some friends that are gonna be joining, so that’ll be nice and interesting, some new, fresh faces that I think [are] gonna be great for us, and I think everybody’s gonna love them, and yeah, I’m excited to be able to have some more people in my corner,” she said. “We’ll be opening up a whole new can of worms with these guys.”

With production for Season 10 likely starting in the spring, LeCroy thinks it will be “fun” for viewers to see Charleston in the “warmer months.”

Bravo has yet to announce the official cast, though it should be interesting seeing as Taylor Ann Green and Olivia Flowers were unable to mend their friendship during the Season 9 reunion.

For now, you can stream the first nine seasons of Southern Charm on Peacock.
