I’ve been hearing bits and pieces of South Charm news this past week. But compared to the big wedding news with Kenya, it seemed rather boring.
Most of the news is about Thomas spending the week in Santa Barbara. He spent some time at the Santa Barbara Polo Club, but polo was not the game he was there to play. Ashley, the girl who visited him in Charleston was all over him again. Apparently she was conveniently visiting him when Shep’s show was filming but is not one of the chicks Shep is banging on his new Sheptastic Drunk Sex Across America spinoff. While she might have been at the pool party filmed for the show, she apparently really was “with” Thomas.
As it turns out I received photos of Thomas and Ashley walking on the beach in Santa Barbara last Tuesday. There are numerous photos on Instagram of Ashley and friends doing tequila shots and licking salt off her boobs. And of her and Thomas sucking face.
According to my Santa Barbara spy…
“A big part of the polo crowd revolves around a Nebil Zarif. He’s the dad of Brandon Davis from the Lindsey Lohan ‘Fire Crotch’ days who had/has the nickname of Greasy Bear because he’s a sweaty person. Nebil, or Bilo as he’s called here, owns the Summerland winery right by the polo grounds. He’s a trip. He’s like 62 and says he’s 52 on social media. He was supplying wine to the Vanderpump restaurants but not sure if that’s still going on.Anyway, all the girls looking for guys with $$$ hit up the polo grounds when it’s the season. After polo, they go to places in Montecito like Lucky’s or the Biltmore. Ashley and her friends go there and they follow Bilo and his winery on Instagram. Bilo alledgedly brings strippers/hookers up from LA to do what they do… pretty nasty looking girls who don’t fit in on our beaches here but it’s pretty much on the down low because he has a lot of wealthy friends (who are probably all doing each other’s wives or girlfriends but discreetly). I think he keeps a condo overlooking the polo field for these hookups.”
Sounds like Santa Barbara is to LA as Polo is to yachting.
In other news, wherever Thomas goes, Landon is never far behind. Apparently, one of her friends got married in Montecito and since Thomas was already in the neighborhood, he was her plus one.
Thanks TT. You know, I decided to think about what I actually “like” and wouldn’t want to miss on BRAVO. It’s not so easy anymore to come up with anything. The gossip is great about the cast and shows, but actually WOULD NOT MISS type of shows, nope. Shame really, used to live for reunions, now they are even boring.
I looked at Chelsea and Austin’s social media yesterday and it really doesn’t look like they are dating.
Sounds like Ashley wants to be on Southern Charm.
She is crossing her fingers and toes to get in. It looks like Thomas is her jump to fame in Sourthern Charm. Apparently Thomas is renting an apartment for her in Charleston.
1- Landons always got to be clutching onto someone, but Austen seems to holding Shep’s leg not Landon’s and 2- Wow, those unphotoshopped kids in the background really make me feel better about my Mom bod.
That crowd has something for everyone, lol.
I really like the pool toys.
So is this a real thing between Thomas and Ashley? I’m slow.
For legal reasons, I will simply suggest that you read what the source said with all of your critical thinking skills involved.
Think I need a social media class. No knowledge about snapchat, instagram, don’t know how to know what people are doing. Guess I’ll just come here and let TT and commenters do it for now. I don’t have a clue about any pictures, people or places.
So dependent on TT, pathetic, lol.
TT does pretty good. I have Twitter but only use it to follow the tv gossip. Twitter is easy, I like to discuss Bravo shows with other people who love the network and other reality based garbage tv that I just LOVE! Lol!
Thank you Lizzzzy. TT is better than pretty good (sorry, partial to TT), 🙂 I mean I couldn’t carry on a Twitter conversation, that’s how bad. My son, after showing me 5times, said “I love you mom, but I’m out”, lol I’m sure there’s a video or something. I just don’t know how people can follow people’s lives or actually wonder who’s life I’d follow.But it would possibly come in handy, ??
Lizzzzy, and the live Twitter chat while watching? I can’t imagine doing both, or know how it’s possible. Kudos to those who can. 🙂
That is not Landon, looks like Chelsea in the middle. Her hair is wet so it looks darker. I think the bodies in the background look pretty damn good.
Exactly, it’s Chelsea who has the caption says had “come between Shep and Austen”
Thomas really loves katherine!! When the love is so strong, the fighting will be also. Everytime he looks at his children, he sees Katherine. He will always see her in Kenington’s eyes. Can we send in votes, emails, letters or phone calls to get Landon off the show ? My God, she has to get off the show, we are begging you Andy. She is too old, has nothing to offer, the voice makes everyone sick and she couldn’t pick up a single guy if he was drunk first. For Pete sakes, send her packing!!! It’sounds getting harder to watch the show with her nasty attitudes, rude comments, flat out lieing and plotting & scheming. Get her gone !!!!
Thomas does not love Kathryn. He used her as a birthing vessel for his heirs and she was dumb and money hungry enough to believe he would marry her. If Kensie had been a boy he would have never knocked her up a second time. Trust! He wanted a male heir to carry on the Ravenal name. Thomas loves himself and cocaine, period.
I really like Austen & Chelsea. They seem like they are a good fit for one another. I hope it’s true that they’re dating.
I’m prayin’ to the sky people that Katherine is lucid, together and able to express herself clearly and rationally at this reunion. I’d love to see all her co-stars that seem to enjoy seeing her struggle eating crow. ?? Thanks for the tea, TT!!
I like them too!
Kathryn is going to be on WWHL tomorrow night. If they film all day tomorrow and then she does WWHL that could be a hot mess.
Oy vey. This doesn’t sound good…
Ruh-roh! Hope she lays off the booze. Not a huge Kathryn fan but I despise Landon and don’t want her to have the satisfaction of seeing Kathryn make an ass of herself.
That is the most awkward looking kiss ever between Thomas and Ashley. His eyes aren’t even closed = no passion, drunk chick kiss.
I love Austen and Chelsea together. He is such a lovesick puppy and it shows whenever they are together..i hope they hang in there until the altar. Austin is the total opposite of Shep.
Thanks for the update, TT. You always do such a great job!!
Thanks. Someone is trying to recreate Pretty Woman.
That will never happen.
Does no one remember ANALOGY QUESTIONS from the SAT or LSAT? I bolded the analogy for you.
Well I got it but didn’t comment because I was puking. :rolls eyes: ?
And shaking my head!
In other news, local paper is promoting Arthur Ravenels first novel, Pastor Stat, set in the Civil War. Wonder if he was on the show to drum up interest. Not on best seller list yet.
Landon doesn’t annoy me like she does most of the folks here. Sure she’s looking for a “partner” who can restore her former way of life. I think she’s pretty up front about that. On the other hand, there’s Kathryn.
I believe Kathryn is after the same thing.. a man with money and status. She “drove her ducks to poor water” when she thought Thomas was that man. I think he and Landon would make a good couple considering their shared goals.
I am so disappointed in Shep this season. I want old Shep back so I can continue with my little old lady crush!
As always a great post, Tamara!
LOL. I don’t think people really care as much as you think about Kenya and her surprise wedding. Soo over it but good recap on southern charm ?
Noelle, it wasn’t so much the wedding, it was the fun of it all!!!! 🙂
Thomas is not with that Ashley chick anymore, he has a new one now.
Is the new chick’s hourly rate higher or lower than Ashley’s?
The part about Ashley being an escort to Bilo (Nebil Zarif) is 100% true! I don’t know about all the other stuff, but I lived at the Polo Club condos and she was very well known as an escort among everyone. It’s not a secret.
Good to know. Thanks for an eye witness account!
