        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<strong>Southern Charm&#8221;</strong>&nbsp;star Kathryn Dennis believes her spat with activist Mika Gadsden has &#8220;been blown out of context.&#8221;</p><p>The reality star wrote on Instagram Sunday night that <span >she is “freakin (sic) heartbroken and so depressed because the way I’m being portrayed is totally not true!!!”</span></p><p>Earlier this month the 28-year-old <strong>got into a heated exchange</strong>&nbsp;with Gadsden over a planned “Trump Boat Parade” to be thrown by local businesses in Charleston, North Carolina.</p><p>Dennis&#8217; argument over whether supporting the current President made her racist rapidly degenerated into a racially insensitive rant. According to <strong>Buzzfeed,</strong> Dennis sent Gadsden 28 messages calling her a “psycho” and one that had a monkey emoji.</p><p>“I use that emoji all the time because it looks silly and awkward and that’s my baseline,” Dennis wrote. “The account was anonymous. I didn’t even know who I was messaging???? And now I’ve been labeled all this crazy stuff and it’s just not true. And it’s not fair.”</p><p>There have already been repercussions for Dennis. Last week she was <strong>abruptly dropped as brand ambassador</strong> for a South Carolina-based clothing store.</p><p>“As a minority-owned business, Gwynn’s and our employees are dedicated to serving all members of our community. Indisputably Kathryn Dennis’ comments and statements to Tamika Gadsen [sic] do not reflect the values of the Gwynn’s brand. Her previous affiliation as a brand ambassador was periodic and on a contract basis. We stand in unity with people of color and with causes that fight to end injustices,”&nbsp;<strong>Gwynn’s of Mount Pleasant</strong>&nbsp;wrote on Instagram last Wednesday.</p><p>Dennis promised that she will be “making a full statement tomorrow” but felt compelled to write “because I cannot stand my character being annihilated.”</p><p>“Please just be patient and know this s&#8211;t is just not true,” she concluded.</p>]]></content:encoded>
