If y’all remember, I told you guys that it appeared that something had happened in court with Thomas and Kathryn just before Thomas took off to California with the kids. My sources said it had something to do with a court order. It appears at this time that Thomas got permission from the court to take the babies to Palm Springs for Polo season. It also appears that some stipulations were put in place that Kensie would not miss out on her schooling.
Thomas has been busy having his nannies snap photos from social media of him with the kids, the Kensie getting “polo lessons’, Kensie having a great time with other polo players’s kids, Kensie learning about spending money… no seriously she was playing grocery store check out with a new classmate and a fancy little school. It was adorable.

All of it is so adorable.
Meanwhile, back in Charleston, my sources say that Kathryn had no idea this was all going on and was expecting her every other week visitation. Thomas is trying to make it seem like the kids are having the time of their lives, and it looks like they are very happy and well cared for.
But it feels at lot like when Leeann Rimes used to post about spending Christmas with “her boys” and posting photos about how happy they were even though they were away from their mother.
It is all very calculated in my opinion. Like Thomas is trying to push Kathryn over the brink. For the first week, Kathryn didn’t post at all on her Instagram. And now we are back to vanity/modeling photos.
I’m worried. BUT! I also think Thomas might have just flown Kathryn out there for her weekends. We could all be being played. Kathryn is probably up the street enjoying polo season on her own time as well. I’m just saying. There is a lot of strange info flying around.
When does the new season begin???
April 3
Thank goodness both sides of the family have money…Sadly, I predict a lot of future therapy bills for those kids.
I agree. I feel terrible for the kids. Kathryn is just a kid herself and has no knowledge about how to deal with conflict and important issues. And Thomas is 10 times worse. He’s a grown man basically fighting with a child, who happens to be the mother of his children. He really should take the high road and start to support her instead of creating conflict. I also wish Kathryn’s mother would step into the picture. Kathryn needs a role model on how to raise a family.
Ugh I feel bad for these kids! Thomas is to old to be so petty !
I found it odd this ramped up prior to air time. Not sure what to think any more. Still team Katherine… with caution.
I’m always afraid that when he is nice to her it means he wants to fuck her and knock her up again.
Since the beginning, these kids seem like pawns of a reality show. I just hope not.
I think Thomas is trying to the right thing for his three children.
Thomas only has 2 children..he is the third child. I agree with TT in that he is very calculated and knows exactly whats he’s doing posting those pics. Late late last night another tweet from Thomas bashing an upcoming modelling gig that Kathryn tweeted about. She is (I believe walking in it?) and is very excited and nervous. Thomas had to get his dig in! #Shock… I “respectfully” and Thomas “not so much” had words back and forth about how bad it is to degrade “Charleston Fashion Week” when the mother of his daughter was doing a job (that women do) to earn extra money. He then called me an “idiot” (big surprise) and deleted the tweet. #ThankGoodness
With S4 coming next month, his horrible reputation for treating our Kathryn so bad and Kathryn being so popular, he is now “the best Dad in the whole wide world” and has the pics to prove it. It’s good for the kids as they look happy ( I give him some Dad points) and I do hope Kathryn stays strong while he continues to try to drag her down. She does acknowledge what all the fans mean to her, have done to help build her up and support her as part of the reason she is healthy again ….so that’s good
Thomas is an ass!
Charleston Fashion Week is a big deal. I think this is all a big show for ratings. As much as TR acts like an asshole, he’s at heart a southern gentleman and I’m betting money flew KD out to Palm Springs. Plus, I’m sure a judge would have made him responsible for making the kids available to KD for her visitation. My husband went through something similar in South Carolina.
Katherine is only popular on this site. She chose to have children with Thomas and needs to take responsibility for her actions too. This blaming Thomas for her actions/non-actions is silly. I’m no fan of his but at least he’s putting the kids welfare first. Remember she started this by not allowing Thomas to see the kids for months and why he had to go to court, to her detriment. Thomas may be petty but he doesn’t keep the kids from her or use them as pawns.
It is not accurate to say Katherine is only popular on this site. She is popular on the Daily Mail website. Landon seems to be the most despised character from the show on that website.
I’m team Kathryn but Kathryn posted o Snapchat day before yesterday and it didn’t make any sense to me at all.
What’s her Snapchat name?
I too found her snapchat the other day to be a bit off. In fact, I find most of her snaps to be a bit off. She rarely posts but when she does, it gives me the impression that she is not completely sober. I was hoping that Thomas getting custody would be her wake up call but that does not seem to be the case.
If Thomas is flying her out to California, this was not her weekend because she posted snaps today about her family history that I’m pretty sure were taken in Charleston.
I hope that he is being a nice guy thru this. But he always posts himself in the best light. He believe he is better than everyone . Kathryn was young and had a lot on her plate the last few years. She will come out the better for it. If TRav was not wealthy, I don’t think people would look at him twice. He has shown himself to be selfish and mean spirited more than once.
I wonder how much care he actually spends with them or is all for photo ops? Timed well, of course
#Team Kathryn
Nanny’s for all. He’s playing polo probably goes after and drinks with the boys?
Plenty of women in the south would date him for his family name alone. I would imagine money, a pedigree, and a fantastic education causes him to have quite the ego.
I really don’t believe it’s true that Kathryn is “only” popular on this site. Not True!
I watched back all 3 seasons of Southern Charm and yes JoJo Thomas does have a sweet side that shows up every so often and he does genuinely love and care really well for those babies. But he treated Kathryn like shit, made all kinds of promises in S1 that he broke, he screwed around on her while she was pregnant, he did have Whitney..ugh… come over with girls while she was pregnant. In S2…He gave Kathryn a game plan to follow to be a proper “politicians” wife (cooking, cleaning, how to dress etc..) which she did and then he acted like she didn’t exist half the time. In S3…. It seemed like Kathryn had to coddle him or stroke his ego to get what she needed or receive the proper attention that she deserved while pregnant with his son. Not to mention Landon the dolphin and Cameron the ass kisser crawling out of Lady Patrica’s butt every once in a while to tell us all what a piece of shit Kathryn is. Something else negative that Kathryn had to see while the show was airing. I truly believe that he and possibly other cast members may have drove her to the brink and she dealt with it with drugs.( which lets face it a lot of reality stars have easy access too) Didn’t Thomas go to jail for drugs? and everyone seems to have forgiven him that transgression. I only hope that Thomas comes off better in S4 but judging by a tweet he put out a bit back blaming editing for a season that hasn’t even started yet and all this “look what a great dad I am” pics He is still the same Thomas looking out for number 1 —-> himself
Why did she have a second kid then if things were so terrible? Both of them are immature and toxic for one another. My concern is the kids.
Also the last two seasons no one wanted to be around Katherine due to her unpredictable volitility. Cameron said it herself. Time for Katherine to grow up, stop being a drama queen, and realize her plan to be Mrs. Ravenel is not going to happen no matter how many babies she pops out. It’s not just about her anymore. She should be on Teen Mom.
OT: Bill Paxton passed away yesterday. So sorry to hear and loved him in “Twister.”
Why did she have a second kid???? By your logic why didn’t the older ..cough…wiser Thomas say “I’m not having sex with that woman again” It takes 2 and as Kathryn once said, he could be charming and sweet. Perhaps he convinced her ( he always wanted children) to believe it would work between them. As he said after Saint was born…”Ready for a third?” Maybe the young naive Kathryn actually believed him? So I blame Thomas! Like he said once on WWHL or the reunion—> he does take the blame for igniting the flame over and over again. he is old enough to know better!
Kathryn was a perhaps volatile due to his constant lies, cheating, broken promises after leading her to believe all will be good. Or the constant Kathryn bashing from the cast…minus Craig who eventually caved to Patrica’s demands also to keep his friendships and a spot on the show. Cooper Ray kept a friendship with Kathryn, and has now disappeared from the show #Sad
R.I.P. Bill Paxton… I loved Twister, Tombstone, Apollo 13 and of course Titanic to name a few
Oh please, children come from our bodies and women really have MORE of a responsibility to ourselves and our children to pick a decent man/father. Katherine took a chance and lost. What makes me mad is she involved innocent children in her games. Thomas is a known “player.” Your pity party for Katherine is amusing that the cast and Thomas caused her problems. She went nutty because she didn’t get her own way for once. She is just as calculating as Thomas. Let’s see: first Whitney, Shep and then Thomas. Wonder what they all have in common that Katherine likes so much? LOL
Have a good day!
You have a good day as well. I did enjoy the banter, that’s what this site is about. Everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to it. I am and forever will stay #TeamKathryn
Thanks TT This blog made for a good Sunday, now on to the Oscars xo
Yes, enjoyed the banter too. You make some valid points. Here’s to happiness and success to Katherine.
Happy Oscar’s to you too.
Thanks, Spunky, cause I feel the same way – the babies come from our bodies and we control that…when I was much younger I had someone older point out to me that I needed to look at men I was intimate with as potential fathers to my children. That was enough for me to realize that I was in control and there was no way I was going to allow my children to be victims before they were born. I understand she’s young but I honestly think she wanted a certain kind of lifestyle and image and thought Thomas was the way to achieve it. She was too naive to look deeper into the man and the situation. She had baby #1 and he treated her like crap so then she goes on to make baby #2? And now she’s a single mom with 2 young ones. I don’t believe that was her plan. Thomas, on the other hand is a deplorable, perverted drunk. IMO he used her to get exactly what he wanted… all at her expense. I think a lot of folks here view her as an innocent victim because of her age, not realizing her reputation preceded her as she was known to be irresponsible and quite the partier looking to hit the big time the best way she knew how. I am not a fan of hers but I feel badly for the position she is in today, as well as the fact that she will have to deal with this asshole and his money/ power for the rest of her life. I am hoping all this drama is just for the show. And who knows? Maybe she’s better off with him having primary custody. Again, IMO there is a tremendous amount of pressure for females to have their children with them and it can be hard for them to admit they can’t handle it alone. It’s hard for a lot of women to relinquish custody, even when they know it’s for the best. Society views such females in an unfavorable light.
“as she was known to be irresponsible and quite the partier looking to hit the big time the best way she knew how.”
What exactly is your support for that accusation? She’s in her early twenties, when most young woman “party” and run wild and make some bad decisions. As for “looking to hit the big time” I am not even sure what that is supposed to imply. She was in college interning when she was approached for the show.
Kathryn was very young when she encounterd Thomas. She believed it when he was promising her a life all the while he was playing her. Add that hormonal pregnancies, more lies and what young woman would not crack?
His kids will see this someday and there will be a shift for sure. I think Kathryn is witty and bright and honest. I hope she’s clean, because that girl is smart. Very well read and I wish she’d finish college and make a career. I don’t know how other women can be so judgemental when you saw how he led her on and lied to her. You need to remember SHE didn’t see what he was doing, we did as did she when she watches the show. It’s heartbreaking how those people treated her! Adults no less!
That Patricia is an awful woman- do some research in her, she is not well liked in NYC, and not accepted well in Charleston. There are reasons for the NYC Mistrust and shunning if her. LOOK IT UP. I won’t mention it here as I don’t want to cause TT any legal issues. All I can say is I don’t trust phony Patricia at all! She is a con.
I only watch the show for Kathryn. I would LOVE to style her! I tell you, when she wears earth tones, greens and some jewel tones? With a smoky eye and a neutral lip? STUNNING! I’d tone down the red hair to a deep auburn. The woman is beautiful. Finish her education? The world would be at her feet.
Well if he did want to push her over the edge flaunting their kids all over social media knowing she will see is a major trigger to want to numb the pain & hurt. My heart goes out to her how difficult it must be sending out prayers and blessings for strength and healing.
They are both idiots. She’s to immature and selfish yo be a good mother. He’s a Moran and needs to take it down a notch. They need to not be on show and focus on learning how to be good parents. Please don’t have JD or Jennifer on either. They both try to hard to act like they belong and they just don’t. Also I think Craig needs to go. He’s a hot mess. Keep Cameron, shep, Whitney and his mom Patricia. Find more young professionals to join cast. Love Patricia….. she’s my fav.
Ditto. As many problems being on the show created for KD you would think she would not be on the show. She has no other means to money. She thinks she is above working a regular job like most people. She is always looking for easy money. TR should NOT be paying her anything since he has the kids full time. So she needs to get over herself. We don’t want to see her on the show. Train wreck.
Thomas posted a picture of Kathryn in the delivery room a few weeks ago and he stated how happy they had been. He stated how the reality show life had been a detriment to both of them. It makes me wonder if they could have had a better chance of being a real couple and family if they had decided to stay off of TV.
Of course! If you want to ruin your life, be in a reality show.
The kids’ needs need to be put first. When a child is in school, for example Daddy might have to miss polo season. Its called parenthood. It’s also called childhood and everyone only gets one shot.
Kensie will be three next month. She’s in a preschool out there even though she is rather young for preschool. She seems to be having the time of her life.
That is good. Kids don’t/can’t fake it for all the social media.
I knew you were gonna come back at me about this…she thought by having children with Thomas she would have the life and money of a Charleston socialite. Lord knows I made a million mistakes when I was in my teens and in my 20’s, even now, sometimes but just a generation ago most mom’s were in their late teens or early 20’s when they started having children…it was the norm and women took on the challenge. She had TWO babies with this tool who is old enough to be her father. And yeah, she was most definitely known for partying hard when she was in school – she didn’t end up being approached accidentally. Hell, I was known for extreme partying in high school and college. But I didn’t fall for a drunk and crank out two kids with the hopes that I’d be taken care of…if she’s so bright she would have done things differently. Once you bring a child into the world you need to put your child’s needs ahead of your own. And when the father of your children is a prick like Thomas, that’s even more reason to get your shit together or walk away.
Years ago I worked with the mentally ill. It didn’t matter what their issues were. There were consequences to their actions. We didn’t tolerate self medication nor did we tolerate bad behavior and we didn’t make excuses for their behavior. Why do we excuse Kathryn’s? I just don’t understand at all why so many folks want to ignore her part in all of this. Honestly, we trash the teen moms but give Kathryn all kinds of passes.
As far as citing my sources who know about her partying ways, I’ll ask them if they mind my dropping their names, but I can’t imagine they would agree to it cause they have their reputations and would never dream of putting their lives and dirty laundry on blast. (Especially for a Bravo paycheck. They know what’s buried in their backyards. That’s the one thing these “reality stars” always seem to forget about.)
Peach please, you have been here long enough to know this is not me coming for you. I just think you are very hard on Kathryn and your expectations are too high. I’ve seen nothing from Kathryn’s parenting that shows her as anything but a loving mother. I’ve seen nothing regarding her relationship with Thomas other than her being a bit naive and in love and hoping he really means it each time he makes promises to her.
Just as you are entitled to your opinion, I’m entitled to my opinion of your opinion. See how that works? Can I pour you a glass of Merlot?
I literally almost burnt my kitchen down a few minutes ago. It’s much needed.
I knew you weren’t coming for me, I just knew you weren’t gonna like what I was saying. I just want her to be stronger and it pisses me off cause it looks like he got what he wanted and she got nothing and he’s gonna fuck with her for the rest of her life. Honest to God, I know this sounds cold but if I were her, I’d let him keep them while I got my shit together. As they get older they’ll see what kind of person he is. And if she wants those kids full time (and we don’t know that she does) she is robbing herself and them by not getting it together. She really is in my prayers cause I want her to come back fierce and strong and be the person who has it all.
And for God’s sake, don’t burn your kitchen down unless you decide you want to just torch the whole house and walk away. (There was a time once when I used to pray my abode would burn down with everything except me, my jewelry and photographs in it.)
I hope he no longer pays her anything since he has full custody now. All KD is about is his money. Her family does not have money. She through she hit the jackpot. How funny is that?
Not funny at all, cruel really. He promised her the moon, she was young and believed it. Who knows wgTvekse he said that we did not see? But your obvious glee at her pain is very telling of you! Please don’t have children until you find empathy and compassion for others. Yikes!
TEAM KATHRYN!! She’s spoiled and immature no doubt, and shouldn’t be hooking up with men twice her age with more money and power, but it took both to have these 2 kids! Is Thomas a good Dad or does he just want to look like a good Dad….not sure but someone needs to take the high road, he has issues too but shouldn’t it be him at his age??
