On Southern Charm, fans were first introduced to Kathryn Dennis’ interim boyfriend, Joseph “Joe” Abruzzo, but her fellow cast members were concerned that the lanky redhead was repeating past patterns after Googling him online and seeing similarities to her ex, Thomas Ravenel.
In the teaser for the upcoming episode of Southern Charm, viewers finally get to meet Abruzzo as he visits Dennis in her Charleston home. At the time of the shoot, Abruzzo was about to step down after serving as a Florida state senator from District 25, according to The Broward Palm Beach New Times.
It was Craig Conover who first expressed concern about Abruzzo after reading posts on the internet about the politician, saying that “He’s not just a politician, he’s a disgraced politician who has been accused of domestic abuse by his ex-wife,” says Reality Tea.
