Madison LeCroy Slams Mom Shamers Saying Her Pool Isn’t Safe for Kids

by

Madison LeCroy is setting the record straight. 

In response to criticisms about insufficient safety precautions surrounding her swimming pool, where her 12-year-old son Hudson and newborn daughter Teddi reside, the Southern Charm star defended her actions on July 3.

In a post on her Instagram Story dated July 18, Madison expressed understanding for the concern, but wanted to clarify that by the time Teddi begins crawling, all necessary safety precautions would have been set up.

The 34-year-old responded directly to criticism she encountered from a particular commentator, who had expressed concern over a photograph she shared earlier of her in-ground pool, suggesting, “It would be wise to install a safety fence or pool cover.

“It’s summer,” Madison said. “So no, we’re not putting a cover on the pool right now.”

Despite not embracing the idea of covering the pool, the reality TV personality reassured her audience that she was indeed taking alternative measures to ensure safety in the backyard for Hudson, whom she coparents with Josh Hughes, and Teddi, her child with Brett Randle.

Similar to how I began swim lessons for Hudson when he was between six months and a year old, that’s what we’ll do for your child too,” Madison assured. “My word on it.

She mentioned that she and Brett, aged 38, are fully conscious of the potential dangers and will do their best to ensure safety. However, she expressed her wish not to constantly justify posting photos around the pool each time.

It’s not surprising that Madison managed to ignore her online critics. Given that she openly expresses confidence in her role as a mother, it makes sense that she wouldn’t let negativity affect her.

During her Feb. 11 interview on the Southern Charm After Show, Madison expressed, “What I admire most about myself is being a mother.

In fact, she credits her motherhood journey with giving her purpose in life. 

Madison expressed her feelings by saying, ‘Many mothers might say this, but I truly feel that if it wasn’t for Hudson, I wouldn’t exist.’ She went on to explain that without him, she wouldn’t be the person she is today, and she is incredibly grateful.

Following a challenging split with co-star Madison LeCroy in 2020, Austen eventually found happiness anew in 2024 with Audrey Pratt.

In response to a question from TopMob News in December 2024, Austen stated, “We’re not rushing into anything like that yet,” referring to a potential development he had recently revealed about Audrey during season 10 of the series. “I personally believe it’s premature. We’re simply having a good time and enjoying each other as much as we can.

But despite taking their relationship slowly, Austen shared he’s no longer afraid of the “C” word.

He shared extensive discussions with his counselor, which led him to understand that when he encounters the appropriate individual, he would be prepared to make a commitment. Remarkably, he found such a person and admitted that he could not overlook this fact.

Madison and husband Brett Randle tied the knot during a destination wedding in November 2022.

In February 2025, after her recovery from thyroid cancer, Madison shared the joyous news that she and Brett are welcoming their first child together, a baby girl whom they intend to name Teddy, in honor of her deceased father, Ted LeCroy. She is additionally a mother to a 12-year-old son named Hudson, who she had with her former partner John Hughes.

In an interview with TopMob News in February 2025, Madison playfully said, “My daughter is going to be really frugal,” hinting at having to dress her economically, similar to herself. However, she expressed hopes that her daughter won’t share her sassy and talkative nature as much as she does.

After a highly disorderly breakup with Shep Rose, Taylor started a new relationship in the year 2023 with Gaston Rojas, a figure familiar to Bravo viewers due to his previous stints on Southern Hospitality.

In an interview with People magazine in November 2024, the medical sales rep was told by her partner: “For the first time, I truly feel on par, and this isn’t just lip service because we’re discussing our future plans.” She expressed that in all her previous relationships, she had never felt this level of importance. Her partner consistently prioritized her decisions, making her feel valued and appreciated.

As Taylor put it, they first encountered each other at a gathering among mutual acquaintances, which unexpectedly developed into what could be considered an “unplanned date.

During the 10th season of “Charm,” Shep developed a deep affection for Sienna Evans, Miss Bahamas, but it soon became evident to his co-stars and audience alike that she didn’t reciprocate his feelings in the same way.

In my role as a lifestyle guide, I’d rephrase that sentiment like this: During our getaway to her homeland with the crew, I found myself deeply smitten, only to have my feelings shattered publicly by her in front of my closest companions.

Venita shared with TopMob News in December 2024 that it was heartbreaking to witness a fan exploit Shep, as she believed he genuinely cared for her. This appears to be the first instance where we see Shep expressing affection, only for it to be misused.

A significant part of season 10 focused on Craig and his then-partner, Paige DeSorbo, dealing with their long-distance relationship. Despite Craig expressing his desire to establish a stable life and start a family as soon as possible, the growing demands of Paige’s career presented challenges in their three-year relationship with Bravo stars.

In the Giggly Squad podcast, one of the hosts confessed during a confessional on the Bravo series’ Feb 19th episode that they feel somewhat sorry for Craig. This is because they have transformed into a different person compared to the girl he started dating three years ago. They now lead a busier life, are less available, and frequently change their views on matters like marriage, moving, and having a baby.

After parting ways in November 2024, neither Craig nor Paige admitted infidelity as the reason for their separation; Craig himself referred to it as an unexpected turn of events.

Craig remains single and on the search for his soulmate.

The prominent real estate tycoon has maintained a low profile regarding his relationship with the woman known as Ali, ever since he left the show back in November 2024.

At the outset of season 10, Venita disclosed that she and her boyfriend Manny parted ways because Manny wanted to chase his dream of performing on Broadway. This situation left the influencer unattached and open to follow her emotions towards costar JT…but he firmly friend-zoned her instead.

Later, Ventia made it clear that she wasn’t aware he had a hidden girlfriend during her attempts to connect with JT on the program.

To put it simply, she clarified on Instagram in March 2025: “I want to set the record straight. The dinner JT and I had following my Branzino preparation occurred after the scenes you saw from the Bahamas earlier. This week’s episode may give the impression that I’m unfaithful, but I assure you, I am not. I understand the nature of my profession, but I won’t let it be assumed that I’m that kind of person when I’m not.

In an interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish in 2022, Leva described working with her spouse as follows: “He takes charge decisively. When he enters the room, it’s clear that he’s upset, and there could be trouble ahead. Our staff prefers not to have him around.

Although Salley showcased her relationship with Andrew Dietz during the 10th season of Southern Charm, she announced in January 2025 that they had parted ways, leaving her single at present.

Prior to their split, Salley admitted Andrew wasn’t the kind of guy she usually falls for.

In a private moment, she shared, “Usually, I associate with a businessperson. It’s strange, isn’t it? He’s very assertive, yet he chooses to speak softly and express everything gently. Somehow, this is altering the type of person I find myself attracted to.

In season 10, the former model toyed with the notion of dating Shep, but Molly continues to be unattached and open to new relationships.
