Madison LeCroy is speaking out after facing claims of trying to look like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley.
After sharing a new photo of herself on Instagram in which she was seen wearing a black headband, large sunglasses, and a zip-up jacket, the Southern Charm cast member took to her Instagram Story, where she clapped back at those accusing her of being a look-a-like.
“It’s all down hill from here,” Madison wrote in the caption of her January 25 pic.
And as soon as the image was shared, Madison was met with several fans who believed the image was of Dorit.
“I thought this was [Dorit Kemsley] at first!!” one person wrote.
“Why is she posting a pic of Dorit?” asked a second.
Meanwhile, a third was more critical of the Southern Charm star, asking, “Do you want to be known for you as Madison or a look alike of Dorit, [Kim Kardashian], and many of the other [Real Housewives]?” and encouraging her to “be you!!”
Following the comments, Madison shared a video on her Story.
“I keep getting messages that I look like Dorit or ‘Why am I trying to look like Dorit?’” Madison began in the January 26 clip, via Bravo’s Style & Living. “I didn’t do that. I think that Dorit is gorgeous, so thank you — I said that as a compliment. But… it’s not like I went and had plastic surgery and said, ‘Hey, help me look like this.’”
While Madison acknowledged that they both have “blonde hair” and “fake lips,” she insisted she was not trying to look like the RHOBH cast member — or anyone else.
“I’m not trying to look like anybody but me — well… enhanced,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Madison’s husband, Brett Randle, who was beside her in the video, asked, “Who’s Dorit?”
In other Southern Charm news, Madison recently admitted her new spouse is the “complete opposite” of her ex-boyfriend, Austen Kroll.
“I would say my relationship now is completely opposite of any relationship I’ve ever had. He has a level of respect for me and as I do for him. And with that being said, what a difference. I have not been treated so well. And I am very blessed,” Madison gushed during a January 19 interview with The Daily Dish.
And during the same interview, Madison spoke of her friendship with Patricia Altschul, saying they’ve always had “a good history of a friendship, and we could never not be friends.”
As fans may have seen, Patricia and her son, Whitney Sudler-Smith, recently spent time with Madison and Brett.
“The new hubby is sweet, kind and ever so good looking,” Patricia wrote in the caption of a pic shared on her Instagram page.
Southern Charm season nine is currently in production.
