Jarrett Thomas says he has quit Southern Charm after two seasons as the show continues post-production on Season 10.

Thomas took to social media on Friday, November 8, to publicly announce his decision not to continue on the Bravo reality series.

“It comes with a heavy heart to share that I have resigned from Southern Charm,” Thomas wrote on Instagram. “Yesterday I informed Bravo that I will not be participating in the 2-3 remaining green room interviews remaining before [season] airs and that I no longer wish to participate in any ways moving forward with the TV show.”

He continued, “I will leave it at that for now while I work on next steps to recover both physically and mentally from what has been an extremely challenging and exhausting year.”

Thomas joined Southern Charm in Season 9 and was at odds with long-time cast member Austen Kroll, getting into a physical altercation during the show’s finale.

The trailer for Season 10 dropped, and Thomas was featured in it as having a romance with co-star Venita Aspen. Following the trailer release, a woman on social media claimed to allegedly have been dating Thomas while the show was filming. Many fans took this as Thomas creating storylines for the show. It is unclear if this was the reason for Thomas’s decision to quit the show.

Southern Charm Season 10 is set to premiere on Thursday, December 5 at 9 p.m. ET. The show stars  Shep Rose, Craig Conover, Austen Kroll, Madison LeCroy, Rodrigo Reyes, Venita Aspen, Taylor Ann Green, and Leva Bonaparte.
