Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy Took ‘No Days Off’ From Filming After Giving Birth
Maternity leave wasn’t a thing for Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy. She gave birth to her second child, her first with husband Brett Randle, on Saturday, June 29. According to her, she went right back to filming Southern Charm without missing a beat. But don’t feel bad for her. This comes with the territory of being a reality star, and she wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Why Madison LeCroy was happy to get right back into filming Southern Charm after having her baby
Madison spoke with Page Six about welcoming baby number two into the world earlier this summer. She first revealed her pregnancy during the Southern Charm season 10 reunion, and when they picked up cameras for Season 11, she was very, very pregnant.
Brett and Madison named their daughter Teddi, and it sounds like we’ll see her grand arrival into the world on the upcoming Season 11 of Southern Charm.
“I went back to work immediately. It’s been great,” Madison said. “I’m filming a reality show during the birth of my child, so there were no days off for me.”
For most of us, the thought of returning to work after welcoming a new baby sounds grueling. Madison, however, described a love-hate relationship with her job. She’s been at this for so long that she couldn’t imagine anything else.
“As far as going back to the show and things like that, that’s the part you sign up for. My job is my reality,” she said.
“You guys have seen me through not being married and being a single mom to then having a husband and welcoming a new baby,’ Madison continued. “So it felt right. It didn’t feel too overbearing. I kind of knew it was gonna come.
Madison explained that having cameras up during this time felt like a blessing in some ways. It helped her navigate the monotonous early days of postpartum. Rather than “sitting around waiting for time to pass,” she’s been able to focus on filming with her husband, and we can’t wait to see their adorable little life on screen when Southern Charm returns for Season 11.
Former QB Rips Unimpressive Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty is one of the most hyped running backs to come into the NFL in recent years. With running backs typically having success as rookies, many aren’t going to be patient with him.
The Las Vegas Raiders beat the New England Patriots 20-13 in Week 1, but Jeanty had a poor game, averaging 2.0 yards a carry. The offensive line didn’t do him many favors, but the team would like to see more from the highest-drafted running back since Saquon Barkley.
It’s just one game, but some are starting to question whether or not Jeanty is as good as everybody thought. Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms slammed Jeanty after the win against the Patriots.
“Ashton Jeanty, I know he’s the star, but … I don’t like the way Ashton Jeanty looks,” Simms said on PFT Live.
“He has not impressed me once yet. There’s a lack of explosion that I think is lacking for a guy that was drafted in the top 10. I’m hoping I’m wrong because I loved watching him in college football, but I’ve not been thoroughly impressed at all.”
Jeanty has another tough matchup against a stout Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 2, so it might still take some time for him to have a breakout game.
Pete Carroll Talks Jeanty’s Debut
Jeanty would likely be the first to admit he didn’t have his best game. He did score a touchdown, but 2.0 yards a carry is about as bad as it gets.
Now, he was frequently met in the backfield by defenders due to poor offensive play, so it might not necessarily be all his fault. Head coach Pete Carroll spoke about Jeanty’s debut and where the young running back can improve.
“Ashton was hyped,” Carroll said Monday. “He was jacked up and he would tell you, I think, that he wishes he had been a little more patient on some reads and things like that. That will come. He didn’t look like that in preseason. This game, being out there, being called on to play and carry the ball 19 times, it was a little bit different for him. He’ll play way better, he’ll see things more clearly. I know he was a little frustrated by that.”
Do Raiders Need to Be Concerned About Jeanty?
The fact that Jeanty didn’t have a very strong preseason has only added to the noise that he’s not as good as everybody thought. However, it’s still far too early for anybody to be concerned about him.
He’s a young player who just played his first NFL game after playing at a non-Power 5 school in college. The fact that the Raiders’ offensive line played poorly didn’t help. Just look at how much better Saquon Barkley was once he got behind a great Philadelphia Eagles offensive line.
Jeanty has far too much talent not to at least make some big plays this season. Maybe he won’t be one of the best running backs in the NFL as a rookie, but the Raiders drafted him so highly because they were confident in his ability. They aren’t going to start worrying about him yet, especially with the type of work ethic he has.
