SOUTHERN Charm fans slammed Kathryn Dennis as "uneducated" after she tried to make fans "feel bad" for her over her racism scandal.

Viewers believed the 29-year-old was trying to earn sympathy from fans during Thursday's episode of the Bravo show.

Kathryn called Leva Bonaparte, 41, to discuss the racism scandal.

The Bravo star said: "My intention was nothing racist or political. I was just trying to stand up for my friend."

Leva responded: "When I saw it, it hit so many nerves because I see you as an intelligent woman and then I saw the monkey emoji and I was really upset.

"The way you spoke to her, as a black woman, was not okay. And then I see the part about like, 'Don't use this minority claim' and 'You're what's wrong with Charleston.' That tumbled the offense.

"I'm a minority. My husband is black. My child is black.

"And the things that I've seen are making me think like, 'I'm good without that friendship.'"

Kathryn responded: "I feel like everyone thinks that I'm racist and I'm truly not, but just the simple fact that that statement is in the same sentence as my name sucks."

Fans didn't believe Kathryn when she said her intentions weren't racist.

Many Southern Charm viewers slammed her on Twitter, with one person writing: "The fact that Kathryn is trying to make people feel sorry for her for being a racist."

An additional person said: "Sadly, I’ve always been on Kathryn’s side-However-I’m So disappointed that she couldn’t find the Time to Educate herself on What is Most important Other than changing her Clothes & body!I realize now That She doesn’t seem to be Interested!"

A following person wrote: "Wow just looked at the #SouthernCharm tag and I’m disgusted. So many people excusing Kathryn and upset at the people who are trying to rightly hold her accountable. I don’t know why I’m at all surprised."

The criticisms continued, as another viewer said: "kathryn if you didn’t want people to think you’re racist. then you should have publicly spoken out about the statue of your relative who fought to keep racism ??"

"I just cannot with Kathryn. Not just the monkey emoji but her general apathy for everything and spaciness just makes it so hard to watch her," another person chimed in.

A following fan said: "I do not believe in this day and age that Kathryn did not know responding with a monkey emoji to a black person wouldn't be considered offensive and racist. She's not that stupid."

One person said Kathryn "knew exactly what she was doing" by using the emoji, adding: "She wanted to land a low blow, & figured being a bravolebrity would shield her. She double downed & lost."
