Grace Lilly, a 27-year-old Bravo reality star from Southern Hospitality and Charleston resident, was arrested on December 28, 2025, for second-degree harassment. The charge stemmed from a two-year pattern of alleged stalking and harassment by her ex-boyfriend over custody of a shared cat. She was stopped on the Ravenel Bridge for a traffic violation after a Flock camera alert, booked at Al Cannon Detention Center around 1:40 a.m. on December 29, and released on personal recognizance by noon.
