It’s not the first time Bravo has taken down an episode because it’s offensive.
Bravo also fired a “Below Deck: Mediterranean” cast member for a racist and misogynistic Instagram post. In the wake of this recontextualization in June, Bravo fired “Vanderpump Rules” original cast members Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute, along with two other members of the cast. The Black Lives Matter protests that arose earlier in June led to a cultural reckoning that has caused media companies to examine practices that were once standard. The Bravo spokesperson confirmed that the episodes had been taken down as part of a review the network is doing to flag potentially offensive content. The following day, discovered that more “Southern Charm” episodes were missing from Bravo’s VOD services: Episode 1 from Season 3, Episode 1 from Season 4, and Episode 8 from Season 4. “This was aired! Primetime! Bravo!,” she says. In the scene - which she plays in Part 2 - Arthur tells Thomas he likes to get rid of $5 bills because Abraham Lincoln is pictured on them, smirking wryly at the camera. In it, former cast member Thomas Ravenel has lunch with his father, ex-Congressman Arthur Ravenel Jr. She had wanted to rewatch the episode, and discovered it wasn’t there. 11, in a three-part TikTok series, she pointed out that an episode of “Southern Charm” - Season 1, Episode 2 - was missing from Bravo’s on-demand services. TikTok user first noticed the missing episodes of the Bravo docusoap, which premiered in 2014, and follows the lives of socialites in Charleston, South Carolina.
(Re-loading something onto cable and satellite on-demand services takes longer.) The fourth episode will also return, but with a scene set at a plantation removed from it. Three of them have been put back up on and to the Bravo app, and will soon return to VOD. A spokesperson for Bravo said that four episodes of “ Southern Charm” were taken down from the channel’s video-on-demand services because of racially charged moments within them.
