The Real Reason Michael From Southern Charm Was Hospitalized

Southern Charm's Michael the butler had to be hospitalized after suffering a stroke. In a statement to The Daily Dish made by Whitney Sudler-Smith, son of Patricia Altschul and creator of Southern Charm, it's confirmed that in late February 2021, Michael suffered a spinal cord stroke. Whitney told the outlet, "I am sorry to inform you that Michael Kelcourse, affectionately known as 'Michael The Butler,' recently suffered an acute spinal cord infarction which is often called a 'spinal cord stroke." Adding, "Although this tragedy has caused significant nerve damage and impairment, with the help of the outstanding physicians at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, we are hopeful Michael will soon recover." Whitney ended the statement by saying, "Thank you for respecting Michael's privacy during this challenging time." 

Both Patricia and Whitney think fondly of Michael and almost like a family member. In a 2018 interview with The Daily Dish, Whitney called Michael the "nicest guy in the world" and said that he's truly "devoted to [his] mom." 

We hope to hear of a speedy recovery and our thoughts go to Michael and his family, as well as Patricia and Whitney during this time.
