She was booked on charges of driving under the influence and transporting a container of alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal broken, according to

Dennis was arrested the evening of May 20, 2024 when she was stopped by the Goose Creek Police Department in South Carolina. She had been involved in a three-car collision.

Videos from the arrest obtained by TMZ showed Dennis arguing with the officers. “Ya’ll are ruining my life — and my kids’ [lives],” she said in the video. “Thanks for nothing.” Dennis shares two kids with her ex Thomas Ravenel.

This is not Dennis’ first run-in with the law.

In 2023, a vehicle registered in her name was also involved in a hit-and-run incident in South Carolina that injured a school resource officer, according to People.

Dennis starred on Southern Charm for eight seasons after it premiered in 2014. The reality star had been open about her struggles with sobriety while on the show

Dennis was ordered to attend a rehab facility in 2016 as part of her custody agreement with her ex. She temporarily lost custody of her children during her drawn out legal dispute.

She eventually left the show in 2023, during which she issued a statement admitting the show captured some moment she would “like to” forget.

“What a wild ride it’s been!” she said in a statement at the time. “Can you believe I was 21 when I first started filming Southern Charm, back in its first season? That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, it’s safe to say my life changed in ways I could never imagine. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so lucky to have had reality cameras there, capturing so many moments that I’ll never forget (and a few, even, that I’d like to).”

She continued, “Through it all, the love y’all have shown for me not only gave me the strength I needed to tackle it all, but helped me realize that I wasn’t alone. I’m so grateful. I’ll be carrying that love with me as I enter this next chapter of my life, away from the Southern Charm lens.”
