‘What a wild ride it was! Can you believe I was 21 when I first started filming Southern Charm, in its first season? That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, I can confidently say my life changed in ways I could never have imagined,” the former teen model told People in a statement.
“You all watched me grow up, become a mother to two wonderful children and build friendships that I will always cherish. And through it all, the love you showed me not only gave me the strength I needed to handle it all, but also helped me realize that I was not alone. I am so grateful.
“I will carry that love with me as I enter this next chapter of my life away from the Southern Charm lens.” I’m grateful to Bravo, the producers at Haymaker, and my castmates in Charleston for everything. And I’m excited for what comes next. If it’s anything like the last decade, it’s going to be an unforgettable ride. LFG [let’s f***ing go].’
