What is Thomas Ravenel up to now? Because I am confused. Last November, Thomas filed all kinds of scandalous allegations against Kathryn. If you missed it, go read all of those here, I’ll wait. In his court documents he talked about Ashley like she was Mother Teresa and that the kids would be devastated without her.Then a couple days after that he posted on Instagram that he totally disavows Ashley and her horrendous behavior.
So that turned out to be a win for Kathryn.
According to newly filed court documents obtained by The Blast, Ravenel says he believes that Dennis “abuses prescription drugs, is engaged in the use of illegal drugs, and consumes alcohol in combination thereof regularly.” The new documents claim that Kathryn gets overwhelmed when she has the kids for more than a few days and mixes prescription drugs with alcohol to deal with anxiety. Can you say ‘projection?’ all together now, “PROJECTION!”
Thomas also claims that Kathryn buys and trades drugs with her friends and members of production. I think this might be the only new allegation in the latest filing. Thomas if furious with production and keeps trying to drag them into his custody battle. He also says that Kathryn is only seeking full custody for a storyline.
He accuses Kathryn of encouraging Nanny Dawn to file charges against Thomas in order to benefit her custody case.
There was some random allegation about a hit and run accident Kathryn allegedly had at the end of October. There was nothing to support that claim in the documents.
He says that Kathryn is only interested in being famous and she doesn’t care about being a mother. He is asking for full custody and child support from Kathryn.
This is ridiculous and I am trying to figure out why an attorney would agree to file this document since the majority of it is a repeat of the November documents. I’m wondering if he has a new attorney who is willing to go even further beyond the pale in the courtroom. Maybe his last lawyer dumped him? I have no explanation for this filing. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
Just more Thomas, being Thomas I guess.
Either he’s paranoid af and the lawyer can see him coming from a mile away or Kathryn has more goods on him or his trick and this could be a pre-emptive strike. Either way it is really pathetic and Kathryn should consider a lawsuit for damage and malicious prosecution if possible.
He’s a drowning man, clutching at anything to stay afloat and if he goes down? He’s going to try to take her with him.
Totally agree. Trape and Trashley have made so many defamatory remarks on social media about her, KD can sue them both. I hope she’s not because she wants to settle the custody case first. Hopefully, that’s her attorney’s game plan. If anyone is on drugs it’s Trashley – she was def on something at the reunion. She made no sense and was skin and bones. The biggest snorter is Trape though. He’s an absolute lunatic, addicted to alcohol and sex obviously. Wasn’t there a story here that he was seen at a restaurant with another guy, meeting a girl at the bar. Then they went outside with the girl and then both guys came back into the restaurant. WTF is that all about? Sorry at his age, still single, still trolling the bars – it’s beyond sad. Add his horrific bursts of anger on the show – the kids need to be far away from him. I did see the mountain of presents he had an assistant buy his kids for Christmas. He’s all show.
what i see and a lady who has met him in real life , on the show he can be a southern charmer, and I think he is handsome. that being said, I hope he goes back to his faith, because some dark roads led him to being imprisoned in the past and loss of a promising political career; that being said , no one is perfect, and there are a lot of opportunists out there as well.
Am I the only who suspects toogie as being one of the nutbags who he flies in to fuck him? I mean how many people can the be out there that think he is handsome and charming and religious?
Ravenel fans are even more disturbing than LVP fans. At least she puts some effort into keeping up appearances.
LOL! Very true TT, and why did she even bother to post that comment? ?
im not a nutbag and you have a very vulgar mouth
Nutbags never know they are nutbags. Speaking of bags, a word of advice, if you haven’t screwed him yet, BE SURE TO DOUBLE BAG IT!
Oh so vulgar 🙂
Brings back memories of “Up In Smoke” Cheech & Chong,
“Hey? DOUBLE BUBBLE! Come on, baby, I’ll give you a ride! Let’s Go!”
hehehehehe
He doesn’t want to pay her child support.
If he can get full custody, he doesn’t have to pay her. This is all about money for him.
Katheryn’s Instagram tells a very different story than what Thomas is claiming.
He needs to be more concerned about the criminal charges he is facing and he’s fucked if JD or the chiropractor rat him out.
Plus Katheryn has a history of clean drug tests.
Thanks to Thomas, she has a clear record of clean drug tests. Karma.
It’s that sweet justice?
TR must have seen the photos of his very happy children spending Christmas with their mother. It looked like they were having a ball on their very first “real” Christmas. Mama looked exhausted (as most mamas are on Christmas with 2 small kids) but did NOT look wasted.
Kathryn is a smart gal and I imagine is expecting all kinds of weird behavior coming from the still addicted criminal who happens to be the kids father. But she doesn’t deserve all this crap.
Hoping the judge does the right thing.
Didn’t his lawyer die in a plane crash several months ago with his mistress?
YES!! I’d forgotten that!
That was a different lawyer. That lawyer was the one that brokered the hushmoney to the lady he attacked on Valentines Day. That was a NYC lawyer not a divorce attorney.
Hasn’t Kathryn been passing drug tests?
She doesn’t have to take them anymore.
I can sum it up…Has she been to PRISON for dealing drugs? NO!
Is she under investigation for ANY type of sexual assault? NO!
Has she complied with and passed EVERY random drug test and legal hoop that she has had to jump through? YES!
Take seat, Thomas…take several seats!!
*Take a seat*
Between sketchy WiFi and auto correct…I’m glitchy. New modem coming tomorrow.
We got it, though. You nailed it in one short graph.
Afriggenmen
How well you said it! Thomas is only a victim of himself.
When Is the next court date for these two? Gawd Thomas move on!
Money money money. Then control and power then money again.
He’s Disgusting.
Sounds like Thomas is grasping at straws.
He is a JOKE nothing more grasping at straws that NO longer exist! He is not TRAV he is TREX he is EXTINCT!!!
This is starting up again because Kathryn filed for full custody. Of course he’s going to drag stuff up. They are wrecking these kids lives. The only winner here are the lawyers. Grow up you two fools.
It’s not Kathryn, she is being a good mom! This is all Thomas and his drug addled mind trying to be on top of her again. He is delusional, his trick is delusional as well.
I see one, bloated, drug addicted fool. That’s it. Kathryn Dennis is younger than the OG Teen Moms and is doing a much better job at real life, even with an old drunk trying to bring her down at every corner.
Honestly there has to be a smoking gun. Thomas is loaded and has one of the best family attorneys in the south. They must have unveiled new evidence. From an outside perspective they are both unfit parents. Thomas reveals the children’s developmental issues in his filing. They stem from KD’s drug and alcohol consumption while pregnant. There has to be some type of evidence to back these claims up. He also suggests she never completed rehab. I’ve heard this from several sources. That’s something he can easily prove in court. I have to assume it’s true or he’s crazy and is trying loose the kids. If all of these claims are completely false he’s going to piss off the judge. Unfortunately now they are both playing dirty and we are probably going to learn a lot of incriminating things about both of them. And five years down the road K&S are going to be humiliated when they google mommy and daddy.
Not that your opinion matters, but how is Kathryn an unfit parent?
Was there ever an actual diagnosis of developmental delays or was that just Thomas’ claim?
IF there are developmental delays Why is it assumed it’s her fault? I’m thinking his sperm might not win any contests either. I mean doesn’t the sperm need to be healthy? Allegedly
Thomas has repeatedly proven his inability to keep his mouth shut, despite it being in his best interest. If he had evidence, it would have been revealed via late night social media rant or as an exclusive story via a less than credible gossip site that shall not be named.
In order to gain 50/50 custody, Kathryn had to complete an in-depth parenting plan with several phases. Its hard to believe that she would have gained 50/50 custody if she didn’t complete rehab, and I highly doubt completion would be based on her word alone, it would have been verified. Additionally, Kathryn had to sign a HIPAA consent form, allowing Thomas full access to her medical records. In my opinion, any smoking guns would have come out already.
I do have to acknowledge his attempt at killing two birds with one stone. Within an ever-growing list of allegations against Kathryn, he slipped in what will be his defense in his sexual assault case. Not too mention the vengeful way he managed to include allegations about the Southern Charm cast and crew.
It is difficult if not impossible to directly link developmental delays to a mother’s drug use/drinking, unless a child is born addicted to something or has been diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome. Developmental delays/disabilities are extremely complex and an absolute “cause” of most of these delays/disabilities is unknown at this time . Also, many are suspected to be genetic, or a combination of genetics and environment, and if I remember correctly, Thomas has a developmentally disabled sibling? If so, it’s very likely that there is a genetic link to any delays in his own children.
Yes. Plus there is peer-reviewed research linking older fathers with an increased risk of genetic abnormalities in their children— not that any have been conclusively proven to be a factor for KD’s children.
The thing is when he’s done all of this in the past, it’s worked for him. He has clout in the court system, somehow, and he gets his way. Look at how he had her taking all those drug tests whenever he felt like it. Who gets that kind of power?! Not any moms that go through that same court room. He’s never going to give this up.
So true. I always thought the same thing and that is why I’ve always felt for Katherine.
Jen……… The Ravenel money is old money……the reach goes far with them. His daddy is friends with everybody who’s anybody in Charleston. ‘They’ are all in bed together and scratch eachother’s backs. TR’s father would/will sell his soul to keep him out of prison…..for the second time. 🙂
This is what happens when you give your child every advantage—except attention, love and acceptance.
I thought that Kathryn had to do blood tests not urine tests. If that’s the case TRav is totally off the wall.
She did. He is.
I used to think, far back in early season one, that T-Rav was charming. The scales have fallen from my eyes, nay, been slapped from them by his behavior. He is a slimy specimen who should lose custody and be required to pay child support AND palimony (is that legal inSC?).
Thomas is a real slime. He can never prove any developmental issues were not caused by his own long-term alcohol and drug abuse, as we all saw, before and at the time of conception.
Given he was old to be a new dad then too, it is highly unlikely his sperm were of great quality. The children were lucky to have a young mum to balance that up.
All the recent research is pointing to how much damage a father’s substance abuse around time of conception can do to his child The serious risks of being an older parent have been known for at least a generation.
And yet the children ook fine, and better every year.
Does George Clooney know his sperm was too old too?
I have commented before about how cruel it was of TRav to make Kathryn get blood tests instead of pee tests for drugs. The old pee tests were fairly easy to beat, even with a person watching you pee. The new ones … not so much. And they show EVERYTHING. Now, I am so happy for Kathryn that all those pokes and bruises were worth something. If he thinks she can beat a blood test, he is mistaken. His cruelty has backfired. As a few people posted here, most likely it is all about the money.
And his anger toward production and his methods of payback — accusing them of pill trading and saying it was production that told Ashley to say and do abominable things — is as transparent as a kindergartner’s lies.
This guy is the scum of the earth- trash water….to fo everything to KD for over 6 years now……I truly feel for her !!
Can someone take this sweaty, coked out, prescription drug loving, abusive alcoholic to a swamp where there are some hungry alligators? PLEASE! He just needs to go. I just can’t with this “thing” anymore. Is he human? Alien? What is he? Will Bravo be running a show about him soon called “Sweaty Tom” like Dirty John? What will it take for this POS to go away, leave Kathryn with her children and fade off into the dark murky night?
His Old Lawyer is dead… Plain Crash if I remember correctly. So Yes New Lawyer.
No the old lawyer is the one who did the 200K payout to the other women he attacked. He’s from NY. This is a divorce case in SC.
His brains are mashed potatoes from years of alcohol abuse and drug abuse. He’s pathetic.
Thomas is using a Scorched Earth tactic this time probably because he doesn’t have the backup he had the last time such as Jennifer and Landon who back him up in court. He’s ticked at Bravo and his castmates so he’s going to put the burden of proof on them to say they are not supplying drugs to her.
He used these kids for camera time too or did he forget Kensie crying for her Mom and not wanting to get in the car? How about Craig calling him out at the Polo game? He used them to imply he was the better parent and I am convince he puts out there that they have issues, seems like his favorite site backs him up on this, when both kids look like they are healthy and quite smart.
If his son had issues you can bet Thomas would have screamed it form the rooftops, he would have used it no matter what it did to the kid. Plus what always got me about him is that HE KNEW she was drinking and drugging during her pregnancy, he was right there drinking along side her, and did nothing about it until it benefited him.
I know you can do crap about it if you want but you have to want to do it. I know because I called the cops on my own Kid when she was pregnant, had her charges with possession because she had drugs in my house, made them make her go to a program that at least protect the child while she was being carried. and went to court to press that possession charge even when she got teary eyed with the judge and he let her off easy. I stood there and told him she should have a stiffer charge because she wasn’t ready to get clean and if you let her go easy it will happen again.
He condone her behavior when it benefited him and then used it when it benefited him. I don’t say she isn’t just as guilty but he knew how to play her and she fell right into it because she was young and dumb and looking for a forever Daddy. I seriously hope she is truly better and taking her meds properly and I hope someone is there helping her keep it together otherwise its a never ending cycle of “My meds aren’t working so I’ll try self-medicating and see how that works cause my mind tells me I know best.”.
I really use to like Thomas but after seeing him at the reunion where he basically told her he’d bury her and was not required to give her anything I lost all kinds of respect. He has more than once showed his very vindictive and threatening side. After all she wasn’t the one who fell into the pool with a child in her arms.
For the sake of the kids I seriously hope they would have co-parented the way that he was showing on social media but it looks like he does things for show and when he doesn’t get his way he goes back to the “I will bur you” pattern. He better watch who he accuses though because he could be setting himself up for a defamation lawsuit if he names names yet has no proof.
Good luck to these kids, they’re gonna need it with these two.
TT, I would really like to hear your impression of the Kathryn Instagram videos over Christmas, assuming you saw them. I thought they were basically about the craziness and exhaustion that comes from having two small children at Christmas time, overloaded on new toys, candy and cookies but some folks at pointing to them saying it’s proof she was using and talking about her eyes being dilated. I don’t see that but would love to know what you thought.
I’m guessing that’s where all of this is coming from. The things people were posting about it was INSANE! I didn’t realize how many accounts are on insta that basically devote their existence to attempting to destroy Kathryn. It’s bonkers. These people act as if they know her and all of her nefarious ways. They go on about how they’re friends with Ashley and they hear everything that goes on. Ok, you are not actual friends with Ashley. She sought you out on social media to be able to use you as a pawn in an effort to wage war on Kathryn without getting her hands dirty. Congrats, her plan worked. These people write like Kathryn has come into their house, snorted coke off their child’s arse, slept with their husbands and sucked their bank accounts dry. How one can have such anger and hate towards someone they don’t even know is beyond me. And they believe every single word that comes out of Ashley’s mouth. Do they not take into consideration she may be a teensy bit biased and have an agenda when it comes to all of this? Bonkers. That’s all it is.
I agree. One of them that I won’t name actually made a posting about how she thinks about Kathryn at all hours of the day no matter what she is doing, about how much she hated her. Obsessed? I picture them sitting around with little Voodoo dolls sticking them full of pins. Get a life. It think they’re part of the Pit Bull group that formed around Ashley, although I think the group was maybe 3 people with multiple identities.
Ooooooh, the drama of it all and the price the children pay when parents behave badly. The attorneys manufacture such bs in their briefs and spin every minor detail into a cause celebre all at the expense of the children. When the day is done, the attorneys and judge(s) go home to their nice, intact, family life while the litigants attempt to rise above the scorched earth. IMO child custody documents should be sealed to protect children whose lives are now forever exposed courtesy of the current laws and internet.
It seems that neither parent comes with clean hands but obviously one has dirtier hands. Hopefully, common sense prevails and the alleged rapist loses custody.
I’m sure a Guardian Ad Litem has been appointed to the case to make a recommendation to the judge. Each side can throw whatever they want to the wall to see what sticks but ultimately the judge listens to their recommendation of what is in the best interest of the children . I do believe Thomas does not want to pay child support and this is what this is all about.
Remember at Thanksgiving when she and Austen posted the pic of them together and people were (rudely) asking if she was pregnant? She responded that she had just gained weight. Remember when Kathryn was in the thick of all the drug issues how skinny she was? Typically drug addicts don’t gain weight – just doesn’t really happen. So, if she was back on drugs, don’t you think it would be noticeable in her weight, if nothing else? Obvs this isn’t the most scientific assessment, but it’s definitely something that makes me even more skeptical of Thomas’ claims.
Maybe she’s smoking weed. That can put the weight on.
What a shitshow.
I need y’all to be rational here. I do not want to post things I have been told.
Thomas is nothing but your typical “psychopath next door”. These types always set their victims up to control them. At Kathryn’s age she was the perfect target for a Thomas, He could lead her on, then reject and disparage her, then lead her on again with conditions on how she must act and think, then reject her again for her “failures”. its a control game with psychopaths .They want to see their victims wag their tails for them when they fortunate enough to be accepted by a Thomas and then see that victim crawl like a scolded puppy to be accepted by him again he rejects them again, it gives a psychopath pleasure to manipulate their victims emotions like a yo-yo.
The dangerous thing about these little everyday psychopaths is when they lose control of their victim They become enraged and will even ruin themselves in an effort to destroy their former victim.
That’s what happened when Thomas lost control of Kathryn. Now he’s in a literal rage to destroy her.
This isn’t my diagnose btw…my sister in law is a child psychologist who is as addicted to SC as I am and this is how she pegged Thomas way back.
Amen! Litigation abuse is what they do. In addition to the excellent “Psychopath Next Door” book mentioned, similarly helpful books for anyone who keeps getting sued by high-conflict, controlling exes: “Why Does He Do That?” by Lundy Bancroft. “Leave A Cheater, Gain A Life” by Tracy (aka Chump Lady) Schorn. “In Sheep’s Clothing” by Dr. George Simon. “Women Who Love Psychopaths” by Sandra Brown. Power and control is their primary motivation.
I read this and I see Tyra screaming at Tiffany: “We were all routing for you!”
Oops. Wrong thread. I think I need to go to bed.
OMG that pic of Rav sweating…gross.
