JD Madison from Southern Charm hasn't been spotted in seasons, and fans are wondering what happened to him. Through the years, there have been cast shakeups, with many people coming and going. Because he's friends with Thomas Ravenel, fans knew that he wouldn't last long on the series.
Even though JD was never an official part of the Southern Charm cast, viewers considered him to be a cast member in his own right, since he always seemed to be hanging out with the guys. In Charleston, JD was best known as a real estate developer and businessman, who was very close to Thomas. JD often hosted lavish events, and frequently acted as Thomas' confidant when he was going through relationship issues with Kathryn Dennis. JD had his own issues, which he covered up pretty well, but they eventually resulted in him being excommunicated from the group.
After JD and his wife Liz separated, the whiskey enthusiast started to spend less time in front of the cameras. Many fans believed that the father had cheated, but the couple always denied the rumors. In 2017, JD was accused of sexual assault, as per People, by a woman named Susan Johnson. The female alleged that JD had drugged her by slipping something into her drink, noting that she woke up and found him on top of her. Only five months later, Susan was charged with filing a false police report against JD. In 2018, JD was arrested for writing a bad check.
Southern Charm fans couldn't help but notice that JD just slid into the background. The former star's social media has also gone dark, as JD has deleted his Instagram, which means that he never posts updates. Viewers also find it interesting that he hasn't given a single interview since he left the series. JD was also forced to close his famed Gentry Bar & Grill after failing to pay the rent. However, viewers can still buy his whiskey online if they want to.
Even though JD is no longer on Southern Charm, every so often, fans get curious about what happened to him. Season 7 has already been explosive, with Kathryn popping off at Naomie Olindo. The only remaining OGs are Shep Rose, Craig Conover, and Kathryn. Many of the cast members have moved on from their time filming the show, and it looks like JD is one of them. He is said to be trying to reconcile with his wife, since both shared that they were not considering a divorce at the time.
