Patricia Altschul, considered the grande dame of Southern Charm, may give off the impression that she married rich and built her socialite status around her husbands, but she recently revealed that couldn’t be further from the truth.
In a new interview on Southern Charm costar Ryan Albert‘s podcast, You’re the Shift, Altschul said she has always worked, joking that men are “the most work.”
“I mean, it’s never mentioned; most people think that I didn’t do anything except marry rich husbands, but I’ve always worked,” she shared. “And as I just mentioned, men are the most work.”
She continued, “I would say that always goes unnoticed or that I have an excellent education and library. So I think a lot of people just think I’m a fluff bunny that landed on a reality TV show and had a couple of rich husbands.”
View this post on InstagramAltschul is one of the few cast members who has remained on Southern Charm since Season 1. Her son, Whitney Sudler-Smith, created the series and currently serves as an executive producer and cast member.
Despite her long-running role on the Bravo reality show, Altschul said she isn’t particularly concerned about what would happen if Southern Charm were canceled.
“If somebody asked me, ‘Oh dear, what will you do if Southern Charm gets canceled?’ I’ll just go on to the next thing, whatever it is, whatever presents itself, or whatever I make for myself,” Altschul said. “A lot of times you can’t just wait for something to happen to you. You have to make it happen.”
Still, Altschul isn’t ready to leave the Southern Charm world behind just yet.
“I still feel like there’s some more mischief to be had,” she said.
In the meantime, Altschul also had some blunt dating advice for women on and off the show about dating.
“I’ve had so many questions on how you get a man,” she said. “And I have a lot of stop answers, like don’t be accessible,” adding, “Make yourself interesting, have something to talk about, get busy.”
Southern Charm Season 12 returns to Bravo on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
