‘Southern Charm’ Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas Abruptly Quits Amid Filming
Southern Charm star, Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas has abruptly quit the show while Season 10 was still filming. Though the new season is set to start airing in December 2024, he still had work to do. So, why did he leave like that? Keep reading for more details.
Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas Abruptly Quits Amid Filming
Viewers were skeptical of Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas when he joined the Southern Charm cast in Season 9. He was messy, disorganized, and quite a gossip. After Austen Kroll and Taylor Ann Green secretly hooked up, JT was the one who spilled the beans and caused a disaster among the cast. Yet, he had little remorse for what he had done and, in fact, he went on to pursue Taylor. It was unclear if JT would return for another season but he was welcomed back. The one thing, aside from stirring the pot, that JT is good at is business.
He is shockingly quite successful and that may have played into the decision to keep him around. For Season 10, it appeared that JT was professing his love for co-star, Venita Aspen. This was an interesting and unexpected twist and then, he soft-launched a new romance on Instagram. It was odd timing with the show a month away and the Venita storyline still up in the air. He essentially squashed the idea that they could ever be a thing and then she unfollowed him on social media. Now, JT has called it quits on the show while it is still in production.
He shared his resignation on Instagram but according to Monsters & Critics, Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas was still under contract. JT has filmed the season, they just have the remaining confessionals and the reunion to film. He will not be a part of that which is quite sad. JT noted that he let Bravo know he was done with the show entirely, not just this season but going forward. He did not go into any further detail but it seems he is spent and needs a time out.
Fans Speculate The Reasoning
Bravolebs have not appeared at the reunions and that has been their swan song. Bethenny Frankel quit RHONY right before filming Season 12 began while Tinsley Mortimer left in the middle of the same season. However, the latter spoke with all of the necessary parties and did not breach her contract. As for Jarrett ‘JT’ Thomas, Southern Charm fans are speculating what caused his abrupt exit:
- During filming there were rumors about him having serious mental health issues and he was almost taken off the show as a result.
- He’s not fulfilling a contractual obligation by refusing to finish filming. It makes me wonder what is so bad that happened (on or off the season) that he’s trying to get away from.
Hopefully, he gets the help that he needs. Are you shocked that JT left like this? More so, are you going to miss seeing him at the reunion or do you not care? Let us know in the comments and watch Southern Charm December 5th on Bravo.
