Southern Charm” appears to be back in action. The 11th season of the Bravo reality show has reportedly started filming, per a post shared by @Queens of Bravo on May 4.
In new photos posted online, the “Southern Charm” cast members were dressed up for Madison LeCroy’s all-pink baby shower, which was held at Patricia Altschul’s Charleston estate. LeCroy is expecting a baby girl with her husband Brett Randle in July.
Fans Reacted to the Cast Photos
In a series of photos shared by multiple fan accounts, “Southern Charm” veterans Austen Kroll, Shep Rose, and Leva Bonaparte posed with season 9 newcomers Rodrigo Reyes, Molly O’Connell, and Sally Carson at the outdoor celebration. All of the cast members wore pink clothing for the event.
A second photo showed grand dame Patricia Altschul seated and wearing a pink gown, and LeCroy wearing a pink floral dress as she sat with a gift on her lap. Rose and Whitney Sudler-Smith were talking to the expectant mom in the photo. Other photos showed a pink flower-topped tiered cake, pink cupcakes, and macarons on a dessert table.
Fans immediately had questions, with some asking why a former cast member was there.
“Whyyyyy is leva there,” one fan wanted to know.
“Wait I thought leva quit the show?” another asked.
“She’s still friends with them, it’s not like housewives. They are friends in real life 😂,” a third chimed in.
Photos posted by Altschul confused fans even further. The “Southern Charm” matriarch shared photos of cast members, including Craig Conover, posing at the shower. Fans zeroed in to question why “Winter House” and “Summer House” alum Kory Keefer was present at the shower.
“Is that Kory?” one fan asked.
‘Ok who invited Kory tho,“ another wanted to know.
“Is Kory from Winter House joining Southern Charm next season?” came another post. “Because why else would he be at Madison’s baby shower?! …He’s Craig’s longtime friend but still seems random he’s there. “
Leva Said She Was Out For Season 11, But…
The cast for “Southern Charm” season 11 has not been confirmed by Bravo. But three Season 9 cast members have already announced their exits.
Jarrett “JT” Thomas announced his resignation from the series before Season 10 even began airing last fall, although he did return for the reunion taping.
Taylor Ann Green posted to Instagram in April to announce that she would be stepping away from the Bravo reality show after five seasons.
That post came a few weeks after Bonaparte posted to tell fans the same thing.
“I love my friends on charm wish them the best and I’ll show up when they need me – maybe you’ll see me at party or two throughout their new season! “ she teased in an Instagram message to fans.
Bonaparte added that viewers would still see her on the spinoff series “Southern Hospitality,” which follows staffers sat her Charleston bar, Republic. “So, this isn’t TV goodbye! Just maybe a you’ll see me a little less! 🫶🏽❤️ “ she wrote.
