EXCLUSIVE! The following information is exclusively sourced by TamaraTattles.com. This page must be linked to when referenced. Especially By Chelsea Hirsch at Page Six who can’t write her own posts without me.
I have the exclusive tea on how the separation agreement went down with Thomas Ravenel. Haymaker gave Thomas a full release of all contracted terms including the non-compete clause. This just means he is free to start on another show immediately. As if anyone would have him.
Bravo contractually required him to say he decided to leave and it was his choice and not to mention the allegations against him. This is very interesting news. Bravo is shaking in their boots. It’s a legal nightmare for one cast member to be charged with sexual assault a show participant. Oddly, Haymaker’s “investigation” has not included interviewing key cast members with pertinent information.
Thomas Ravenel’s Southern Charm Salary Was Quite Low
Ironically, I went Google to see how many episodes there were of Southern Charm in season five. The first articles coming up include, “Thomas Ravenel Quits Show Amid Sexual Allegations.” That is the title of nearly every major outlet. So, the admonition not to mention the sexual allegations thing did not work out as Bravo had hoped. This explains some of the bizarre tweets that Thomas has been making.
There were sixteen episodes of Southern Charm season five. Tamara Tattles has exclusively learned his per episode rate. Thomas Ravenel’s salary full season pay is less than what Nene Leakes makes for two episodes of RHOA. It’s also less than the amount of payment in exchange for the NDA that the mother/ daughter team signed. Still, it was a paycheck that Thomas needed to continue to present himself as Charleston elite. However untrue that may be. Y’all didn’t think he moved to Daniel Island for the children did you?
Things are unraveling for Thomas Ravenel. This is only the beginning…
HOLY SHIT HOT OFF THE PRESS!! You. Are. Amazing. Love your caveat outing Page Six. Outstanding work.
I wonder if he will let the children to be filmed with Kathryn. I have a feeling he will not let them
Woudn”t be surprised
I’m guessing he won’t have a say…once he’s behind bars.
Very interesting.
Hope he goes down in flames.
Me too and I would like for him to do random drug testing as well.
Well at least if A&E wants to do one of those prison documentaries he will be free to participate lol he is going to end up in jail or drink himself to death
60 Years In!!!
(Appropriate reference to me, since that show was how I found this place!)
I’m so glad Kathryn is going onward and upward. I’m not sure how much child support she will be getting down the road, lawyers will be taking big chunks of whatever Thomas has left.
If they have 50/50 custody she probably does not get child support. :/
That is what their latest rounds of court were about Child support.
Fabulous SCOOP! And great shot across the bow to a certain person at page 6! The TRav saga – is truly a saga. Omg, are he and “she who must not be named” going to wash up on another show? If he has a full release on all contracted terms – does that include the terms that say no one can sue Bravo for defamation?
No the defamation thing is standard regarding the show and is still in effect.
And Chelsea is individually liable and attorneys are on it
Sorry- misread that- I see who you mean.
Oh and Chelsea Hirsch posted and “exclusive” based on Thomas’s tweets. She’s a fuckup. I’ve reported her to Page Six for failure to link. she basically lives here and gets twenty bucks for copying my work on Page Six.My lawyers will be in touch with her soon.
As well as others. But I have already oontacted her and page six about this issue so now it is time to send in the lawyers.
Legally , you can’t just say “Sources said” when you have no sources and are copying my work.And triple damages come in to play. Maybe my beach house is in site after all. Especially with other sites doing it. Page Six is on the hook..
“Give em the works”, TT! It is so wrong to copy other people’s work and not give credit.
Does she copy TT word for word? Or just paraphrase and say “sources”?
Does she copy TT word for word? Or just paraphrase and say “sources”?
OMG! I hope you do get a beach house out of it!!
I hear there’s a house for sale on Edisto! (But you’ll probably want to be closer to the beach…Brookland is pretty remote and a minimum 20-30 minute drive to the beach.)
I don’t see him fading away without making a scene of some sort when the remaining members of the cast start filming again. He’s clearly unstable and has an ego to feed.
You are Amaze-Balls, Tamara!
I just saw the Page Six article and came directly here for the Real Tea.
You never disappoint.
Great sweet tea TT!! U r my top 2 go 2!!! No more TMZ for me!!! I live for this POS to go down in FLAMES!!! Any word on my bff in my mind Bethenny??! Light, Love and Prayers!!
Thanks for the scoop! You are amazing. Since this is “only the beginning” I can’t wait to read the rest!
THIS is why I love your sight TT! Way to call out PS……mike drop!
Yay! I’ll make some popcorn for all of us!
Am I the ONLY one who sees Thomas with a new family centric show…kissing babies and what not? A “don’t be tardy” kind of deal. “Peter pan syndrome” man becomes responsible father of 2.
I read he and Whitney are speaking again and I wonder what that’s about. Whitney seems to know a good show when he sees one and if Thomas c oukd get Kathryn to come a long for the ride, cashing in on her popularity while repairing his image would obviously be something he would want…plus I should think Kathryn would want the father of her children to have a decent reputation just for her kids sake.
I don’t know, just my thoughts. I hope Kathryn has good advisors and makes sure to put herself and the kids first!
Please read the commenting rules regarding who Whitney is talking to. It’s a lie. and should be discussed only on whatever shit site you saw that on.
I wish you had a like button for your comments. They are amazing.
My Queen!
I really don’t think Kathryn would make any downward moves at this point. His reputation is so far gone nothing would fix it. I can imagine him and Ashley doing a marriage boot camp show. They would both probably jump at any money offered
That’s what I think. A marriage boot camp or something
I certainly hope not, but for many of us the dream of a “nuclear family” can be preyed upon and Thomas is disgusting enough to pull out all the stops, in my opinion. #teamkathryn
Exactly what I thought
Does Bravo want Thomas to say he quit because if they fire him, they will be acknowledging his behavior and in turn be culpable? I’m confused
They have directed him not to mention the allegations at all. And yes they have culpability if one cast mate allegedly raped another,
Which cast member did he allegedly rape? I know Nanny Dawn and the woman he went on a Tinder Date is saying he did, but Nanny Dawn isn’t considered a cast member is she?
Cast member was a poor choice of words I guess I should have said someone on the show.
I don’t know if you can answer this, or care to, but how much did Ashley play into his contract not being renewed? Obviously the allegations are serious enough and risky enough that Haymaker most likely is responding to those, but if he had a positive season is there a chance he would have still been around?
It was the rape allegation that got him tossed. Ashley remains irrelevant.
Tamara you are the only site I’ve Ever Believed. Way to go girl!! ❤️
Wait a minute!! “…one cast member being charged with sexual assault on another cast member”??? I must have missed something. Is this referring to Thomas? Did one cast member assault another cast member??? What the hell is going on over in Charleston? Is there more information about this?
Yes! I missed the part about the other cast member, too. This is crazy. How is Ashley still trying to maintain this ruse?!

http://tamaratattles.com/2018/05/11/is-it-me-or-is-this-thomas-ravenels-confession/
Thanks TT. I’m straight now.
Thank you! What a twisted, evil web!
Thanks for the links, I missed those due to new grandbaby at the time! Good Lord! That interview with Quentin! My jaw dropped. That is the most unbelievably crazy shit!!! Hope he gets his ass handed to him…
I’m confused too.
I am confused also! The first time I read TTs post, I read it as his contract was not renewed due to the two previous allegations. Now after reading the comments, I reread the post and interpret it as Thomas has been accused by another cast member?
Maybe the Nanny is considered a castmate? She did appear on the show I believe and is one of the accusers.
I have heard from so many others… Not on the show, but its a Bill Cosby situation waiting to happen but they are all so terrified of coming forward.
Wow this is crazytown
I think that’s in reference to the wife of one of the producers. Something else is going on. I don’t know any more information than that. Also there’s something allegedly going on with JD. Time will tell. I’m sure Tamra will have the scoop!
Oh have the exact same info in my inbox about JD. I have warned Bravo we will see…
You are my hero. Let the truth prevail.
Hopefully you post something about this soon bc I’m dying to know what Foghorn Leghorn has gotten himself into this time! ?
Great scoop. Watch Thomas down the road try politics again.
LOL Think more more Bill Cosby and less political candidate. He has the WORST reputation going into this show, and now it is even moreso.
I don’t like taking pleasure in other’s misery but for TRav I can almost make an exception…
I’m not sure who is squirming more, Thomas or Bravo Legal. It’s amazing….
I went to pool party last weekend and made shots and named them Bill Cosby’s. LOL
is it just me or is that not f-ing funny?
It’s not just you. Rape jokes are not funny.
TT. Thanks for all the juicy details.
I just hope you are getting enough rest with all the shenanigans happening.
Spectacular job Tamara T! Thomas is such an “sshat Who wants to watch a f-ckwit like him week after week. The Southern Charm cast are prolly very relieved that he is going.
I really hope more women come forward. He needs to be in jail. If this is Bill Cosby comparison worthy, he’s not going to suddenly reform even out of fear.
Tamara – Awesome, awesome scoop!!! By the way, wasn’t sure you’ve caught it yet (but, the way you are always right on top of every bit of good stuff, you probably already know) – RadarOnline now has an article that states something about “Bravo insiders” are basically saying Ravenal was asked not to come back, regardless of what he says on social media – they are done. Good luck with anyone wanting to have “T-Rav-elling All To Pieces” as the star of their new reality show – unless it’s that one show that hooks up prisoners and women/men on the outside! LOL! Thanks again for the great scoop and I hope your legal eagles take Ms. Chelsea to task asap and anyone else who has the freaking nerve to steal your scoops!
Is it just me or does anyone else wonder what Whitney’s take is on all this? I wish he’d make a statement about his BFF – I know Miss Patricia (yeah, I know, that sounds silly to most, but my Mom was from Texas and that’s how I was always taught to address those who were my elders if I first asked if I could use their first names, at least – I was raised pretty old school Southern – lol).has said that Whitney has blocked Ravenal on social media sites too – just wish he’d at least make a statement saying he’s done with him too – that would be the final icing on the cake. It’s one thing to block Rav on social media, but then I worry he’s still BFF-ing him privately. I honestly can’t get a good read on Whitney, but here’s my one totally insane thought about Whitney – I think he’s actually had a huge crush on Kathryn, even when he was hating on her, I think he still carried a secret torch for her and he likes them young too, although I don’t think he’d necessary want a ready-made family either. I’m sure he has a new girlfriend now too. It was just the way he acted that one seaon when they were at that cabin place, when T-Rav first found out that Whitney and Kathryn had hooked up at least one night – he was all nervous and I’m not quite convinced it was just because he’s intimidated by Ravenal either. Plus, I’ve always liked to study people – their eyes, the body movements, etc., when they are around others and it always seems like Whitney has been like super-shy/little school-boy crush around Kathryn this season especially, now that the real truth has some out about what T-Rav has done to her. I know, I have ZERO basis for feeling this way – just a weird intuition thing and of course, I could be completely wrong too. There’s just something in the way Whitney looked at her this season and when he was talking to his Mom and Shep about her. I also still think Shep would do well to settle down with Kathryn, although I fear Shep would be a serial cheater spouse. Just my two cents.
You think Whitney crushes on girls?
Isn’t that sweet? Bless her heart.
That wasn’t even the weirdest of her thoughts.
And I thought I had better radar than that. Yeah, I know I’m an oddball.
Message received – lurker mode permanently installed. 🙂
We like oddballs here! No need to lurk. It’s just things like Kathryn and Shep would be great together when he is never sober and she is in recovery and thinking Whitney likes Kathryn are just not logical.
I assure you you are not the only one that feels this way. It’s just illogical.
Whitney absolutely had the hots for Kathryn, and maybe still does. At some point in past seasons Craig says as much, and everyone acted like he was absolutely out of his mind, including his girlfriend Naomi. But my mom and I both knew he was spot on. Why else would Whitney HATE Kathryn to the extreme like he did? His actions just screamed “I’m a butthurt little bitch”.
Because Kathryn was supposed to be his beard during season one. Then she fell for Thomas and he didn’t have time to audition anyone else to be the beard.
The Puppetmaster thought there was a little poppet to mold and shape into a standard of perfection. The finest of arm candy. Then that scenario vanished.
Like and thumbs up
I am reminded of my mother and her sister. Mom very adamantly maintained that Liberace was “a straight young man who just loved his mother!”, and Sis had a desperate and ardent crush on Tommy Tune who she said was in love with Twiggy. Omg! I still think I am not related to them. However, I guess I am because the oblivious gene seems to have so landed on the next generation! (would not believe me about Kristen Stewart). Go figure! ?♀️
And I quote my mother, “Liberace just has not found the right girl yet!”
(The whole family watched his show)
I wouldn’t touch Shep with a ten foot pole. He appears to be a self-indulgent man-boy.
I, too, saw a very odd dynamic between Whitney and Kathryn.
KathyD……… Me, three!!!! Extremely odd but definitely some kind of dynamic. 🙂
Whitney likes girls,. Bhuahahaha!
#HiChelsea
“Let’s just say it is less than what Nene Leakes makes for two episodes of RHOA”
This is a tad confusing. Nene made est. $125,000 per episode for season 10 coming in at $2.5million over all.
If he makes in 1 episode just under what she makes in 2, he’d make in the region of $250,000 per episode and almost $4million overall for season 5.
I had no idea Thomas and Southern Charm are that popular to be able to demand such a salary.
No he makes his per season not per episode. So under $200k for the entire 16 episodes. He’s awful and I hope he runs out of money so he can’t continue to have no consequences.
No you misread the information. He makes under $200k per season. I hope he runs through his money and has to face the court with no dollars and has to face the consequences of his actions.
I hope not because he needs to financially support their kids.
I believe TT is saying that is what he makes for the entire season not per episode. The other clue is the NDA payoff which was 200K.
Great scoop TT! You’ve been a busy girl!
Thanks guys for clearing that up! ? I agree it won’t last long if damages are awarded in the pending cases.
Oh Girl!! Triple damages for YOU would make my heart soar! No one works harder on the TRUTH than YOU. And with such quick wit! I used to believe Page Sux as the gospel years ago. Now it’s time for YOU to have your own app!!
Trav is disgusting. He deserves everything coming his way. Shame it took too long, I bet hes been pulling this shit since the 80s. Love the tea, and best of luck on the legal front
PIPING hot tea, TT! You are AWESOME!
I have one question though: why would Haymaker insist he say he quit? If they wanted to distance themselves from the sexual assault scandal, wouldn’t it look better for the company to say they fired him?
I can’t WAIT to see him go down in flames.
Lots of reasons. It’s a “nothing to see here” sort of stance. If they say they let him go, the lawyers on the assault case could say that implies they believe the allegations.
Love the about out to Page 6’s Chelsea Hirsch!
Wonder if the next season of 60 Days Locked in will feature innate Ravenell as background scenery?
Shout out. Damn autocorrect.
If there are other accusers and it’s a Bill Cosby situation, how do you know they haven’t or will in the future talk to the police?
Also why did Miss Ashley delete all her Charleston photos from her insta? it’s as if that time of her life did not exist.
I think the others will come out of the woodwork now….The TV channels and the newspapers in South Carolina are also ALL over this. Shit is really hitting the fan….
This was a crazy Newsday. Bravo surely must be on pins and needles. Thomas, maybe JD and of course waiting to see if the blind was about Mr. Cohen.
HOWEVER, as exciting as this all was NONE of it compared to MDLNY and a shirtless Steve Gold….sigh!
Ashley is falling apart right now on her insta live.
Coincidence that Thomas announces he quits the show and Ashely announces the breakup on the same day? I think not…..Tamra do tell…….screams of business arrangement!
I’m not aware of a breakup announcement. As I’ve said before, things won’t really end with Thomas and Ashley until the end of October.
She cried on her instagram story that they had broken up and scrubbed her instagram of him. People magazine confirmed the breakup. Unless you think they are secretly together and just did the whole breakup thing as a PR strategy.
Yes I saw that too!?
Wonder how much that NDA for Ashley cost the Ravenel family.
She posted it to her private Instagram account this morningand . *Fun Fact* she’s already asking people to hook her up.
Bravo confirmed the breakup also! Lawwwwwd help the next victim, this is a whole bushel full of CRA-Crazy
She also said she was starstruck over Cameran..SMH…for someone who has never watched the show..she
brings BS to another level
WOW WOW WOW kudos to you TT!
I wonder if… I am not sure i’m reading between the lines right… do you think (it can’t be) but is it implied that maybe TRav is setting up another show? (Hence the freedom from a non-compete)??? I can’t imagine with the allegations and his horrible reputation. He has gone down/up in flames.
I kind of fell for his charming schtick early on, stupid I know. I can’t believe he tried to unseat KCD with TrAshley that it was premeditated but that is crazy insane.
I was wondering if you could elaborate on the “fictionalized” part of it? Meaning, they film like a lunch but it’s really 4:00 in the afternoon? Or meaning they make stuff up and it’s scripted? I mean, I thought it was real… or semi-real on SC. I know some of the business stuff was BS (like with Craig) but am curious how much is fake?
Had the crazy idea that KATHRYN SHOULD RUN FOR OFFICE.
I BET SHE’D WIN.
That would be the ultimate.
What’s worrisome is this is the perfect time for Ashley to swoop in with her “You and Me Against the World” shtick. I don’t believe for a minute they’re broke up. She’s paid up until October and since he probably can’t get laid within 1,000 miles of Charleston he won’t be letting her out of that contract, he’s “frugal”. My concern is he’s such a delusional narcissistic drunk idiot and she’s a crazy manipulator she might actually convince him or scare 🙂 him to marry her. I don’t give AF what happens to Thomas (hoping for jail but I doubt it) or Ashley but there are two REAL children, who didn’t sign up for the crazy. I hope there is a guardian ad litem in the picture.
I have to thank Ashley for something (gag!), I signed up for Instagram a while back to see her crazy and discovered the most wonderful posts by hilarious.ted, great posts on animals! I hope I didn’t cross a line and get sent the WLS for this.
Tamara, so many great posts in such a short amount of time, you deserve a great vacation! Hope you get wa wonderful beach house!
What is wrong with this guy? Every time he makes a “drunken post” to social media, the news outlets pick it up and remind everyone of his prison sentence, his rape allegations and pending lawsuits. He’s his own assassin!
Spam is going nuts on your sight again, I can’t open any articles without pop ups that make me have to shut down my browser… I’ve had to click on this page 10 times to scroll to the comments..hi Ashley…?
I view this site on Chrome and never have issue. Have you tried running a virus scan?.
Thought: Tamara, and I apologize if there’s already been made mention of this, but……..If Pat is all friendly with Kathryn now, do you think she still wants her for her son’s “beard”? Or do you think she doesn’t believe her son needs one?
Curious minds need to know!!
I wonder how much Katherine makes. I know she wasn’t official cast until the second season, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there is a ridiculous pay disparity between her and the men.
If not, there should be. I have so much admiration for her. She deserves all the success she is enjoying right now.
TT thanks for the wonderful update, no matter if we disagree or not I still love your site and you.. And honestly I did not mean to imply anything before regarding disrespect towards you on a previous Southern charm segment.. Us nurses get our feathers all ruffled at times.. So happy he will not be returning nor his plan B… Peace and Love and your the best..xoxo
