Southern Charm: Eliza Is Saying Goodbye To The Show Before Season 7
Eliza Devereaux Limehouse is leaving Southern Charm ahead of season 7. Cameran Eubanks, Naomie Olindo and Chelsea Meissner announced their own departures from Southern Charm earlier this year, so the Bravo reality show, set in Charleston, South Carolina, is losing another cast member.
Limehouse appeared as a friend of the Southern Charm cast for two seasons before becoming an official cast member during season 6. She comes from one of Charleston's oldest families. Her ancestors landed in the Southern city before it was even a city. Nine grandfathers ago, Thomas Limehouse signed the Declaration of Charleston, and Eliza goes back 15 generations all over South Carolina, on her mother’s side. She even had relatives on the Mayflower! Just as Thomas Ravenel's name pops up all over Charleston (the Ravenel Bridge is a major landmark), the Limehouse family is prominent. Limehouses own hotels, parking companies, commercial and residential real estate brokerage offices, and a produce company. Her father was in politics for 30 years as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives. You may not see Eliza on the show anymore, but you can still take a walk down Limehouse Street in Charleston.
Eliza Limehouse is sharing her feelings about the show and moving on: "It's been a thrill to be part of Southern Charm, but with a wedding to plan on top of my busy work life, it's best for me to focus on what's next," Limehouse told People. She continues: "I walk away from my reality TV ride with positive feelings, and no regrets. I'm grateful for the experience, for the friendships I made along the way, and for loyal fans who have been so supportive and kind. I can't wait to marry the love of my life Struthers, spend more time with my horses and start this exciting new chapter." The Southern Charm star's boyfriend, Mark “Struthers” McBride, Jr., proposed in February.
Naomie Olindo revealed on The Skinny Confidential podcast in July 2020 that her friend Leva Bonaparte joined the cast and that they had begun filming season 7. When asked about her co-stars Chelsea Meissner and Cameran Eubanks, who also departed, the Bravo personality said that all three of the women felt it was the perfect time to walk away.
The Southern Charm cast has been shaken up in such a big way, and fans can't wait to see what drama will ensue in South Carolina's holy city on the new season. Will you be watching Southern Charm?
