Corey Kiefer, from his brief stint on Summer House might be making his debut on Southern Charm as a friend of. I think we speak for most when we say we dont need anymore of those types of dudes on Southern Charm... Why dont we give the ladies the spotlight for a season instead of immature f-boys? Love island makes its return soon and the bros are geared up to dive in head first. Last but certainly not least, Jasmine from the Valley is getting a lot of heat from social media about Danny. Apparently people think she's using him for a story line because HE was creepy and grabbed both Jasmine and her girlfriend. Make that make sense. People are weird. Team Jasmine all the way.
