We have some surprising news for fans of Bravo’s Southern Charm.
Jarrett “JT” Thomas has made a significant announcement regarding his future on the show. As Season 10 is set to premiere on December 5, JT has confirmed that he will not be returning for the upcoming episodes.
In a heartfelt message shared on Instagram late Friday, November 8, JT expressed his decision: “It is with a heavy heart that I announce my resignation from Southern Charm.” He elaborated that he had informed Bravo about his choice to skip the remaining green room interviews before the season airs. Up until now, he had participated in approximately nine interviews leading up to this point and decided against any further involvement with the series.
This revelation certainly comes as a shock!
To clarify, while principal filming for this season wrapped up earlier in the year, cast members are still engaged in recording confessionals reflecting on past events from their time together.
In his post, JT hinted at feeling overwhelmed after an intense filming schedule. He chose not to delve into specifics but stated simply: “I will leave it at that.” He added that he plans to focus on recovering both physically and mentally after what has been an incredibly taxing year.
A press release promoting Season 10 hints at an exciting transformation within the cast as they commemorate “a decade of sipping and spilling sweet tea along Charleston’s social scene.” The statement suggests that while familiar conflicts may arise again among friends, there is also a commitment towards personal growth concerning business endeavors and family life. However, it acknowledges that challenges are likely as these new paths unfold.
Recently released previews show JT engaging playfully with fellow cast member Venita Aspen while also facing accusations from Craig Conover regarding comments made about Patricia Altschul—one of the show’s prominent figures. This flirtation occurred just days before JT introduced his new girlfriend Ali Pereless via social media with a caption celebrating their relationship alongside images showcasing their affection for one another under the hashtag #itscomplicated.
As fans gear up for what promises to be an intriguing season filled with drama and evolution among its characters, they will undoubtedly miss seeing Jarrett Thomas navigate through these dynamics firsthand.
