‘Southern Charm’ alum Kathryn Dennis reflects on the value of life 1 week after DUI arrest
Kathryn Dennis has returned to social media following her recent DUI arrest.
The “Southern Charm” alum, 32, took to her Instagram Story Wednesday to share a quote about the value of life with her followers.
“You can literally be here today and gone tomorrow,” the message read. “Be grateful, be humble, be appreciative, be kind, be loving.”
Dennis was arrested in Goose Creek, S.C., last week for driving under the influence and driving with an open container after being involved in a three-car collision.
According to TMZ, a responding officer claimed the former Bravolebrity had “glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person.”
Footage of the arrest showed Dennis arguing with police while they conducted several field sobriety tests before placing her in handcuffs.
When she was told to put her hands behind her back, Dennis asked the cop, “Wait why? Am I in trouble?”
As soon as she was in the backseat, Dennis began arguing with the officer in the front.
“Ya’ll are ruining my life — and my kids’ [lives],” she said. “Thanks for nothing.”
When the officer informed her that he was going to do a blood alcohol test, Dennis insisted she wasn’t “stupid” and called the arrest “some bulls–t.”
“It’s really messed up for you guys to just like take people in though. What if they have kids? Because it could really affect their children’s lives,” the ex-reality star added.
Dennis has opened up about her struggles with substance abuse over the years. In 2019, she admitted she wasn’t completely sober and still drinks alcohol.
Three years prior, she completed an ordered stint in rehab in Malibu, Calif., per her custody agreement with ex Thomas Ravenel.
Dennis shares daughter Kensington, 10, and son Saint Julien, 8, with Ravenel.
In July 2019, Ravenal accused the former model of being “addicted to prescription medications, marijuana, alcohol, shopping and sex,” which she denied at the time.
Dennis and Ravenal ended their on-again-off-again relationship in 2016.
