Cameran Eubankshas had a change of heart.
Onpart oneof theSouthern Charmreunion Thursday, Eubanks broke down into tears while apologizing toKathryn Dennisfor judging her too harshly in the past.
“I view Kathryn in such a different light now,” Eubanks said. “I view you now as more of a victim. I do. WhenThomas [Ravenel]met Kathryn she was pretty much still a child. I think he took advantage of her and I think he manipulated her. He manipulated a lot of us into being against her.”
Dennis lost custody of her two children with Ravenel —Kensie, 4, andSaint, 2½ — and entered rehab in 2016 after she failed a drug test. She recently revealed she has sinceearned back 50/50 custody.
Eubanks, who gave birth to her first child in November, said becoming a mom helped her understand Dennis on a new level.
“I have so much more empathy for you now. I can’t imagine how you have felt and I’m really sorry,” she said. “I just can’t imagine what you’ve been through as a mom, and not having support around you in that time in your life. And then, to have all this s— you had to go through on top of it, it makes me feel sick.”
Dennis also became emotional as she accepted the apology.
“It means a lot to hear that,” she said. “I’ve had a lot of resentment and anger because I felt like I was treated unfairly. But I know that Thomas is super convincing and to have you say that finally gives me affirmation that I wasn’t the crazy one. Finally, you guys see it. He’s shown you guys on his own. I knew nature would take its course. And I just appreciate being in a place where you guys understand me.”
Throughout season 5 ofSouthern Charm, Dennis was determined to prove that she’dchanged for the better— and Eubanks noticed.
“The fact that you’re able to sit here and be so poised and calm and put together with the pure hell that you have been through, it says a lot about you,” said Eubanks. “I think in the end, you’re going to have the last laugh and you’re going to look back on all of this and it’s going to make sense.”
She continued: “I don’t think we even know the half of what she’s been through. You do a really good job of putting on a brave face.”
Along with her ongoing custody battle, the season also saw Dennis getting into several heated arguments with Ravenel’s girlfriendAshley Jacobs. During theseason finale, Jacobs referred to Dennis as an “egg donor” and questioned the validity of their family, saying “Don’t forget that your kids were taken away from you, don’t forget that. Someday they are going to want to know why.”
After watching the episodes, Eubanks called Jacobs a “horrible human being.”
