I have been trying to wait for the child custody case to end before discussing Thomas Ravenel’s legal issues. However, Thomas Ravenel is working so hard to intertwine the two cases that apparently that day may never come.
Why Does Thomas Ravenel Want To Depose Patricia Altschul?
Short Answer: Because He’s An Idiot
Longer Answer: He’s furious with women in general. His “depositions” thus far in the child custody case are very nasty and meant to punish the person being deposed. Also he is planning to push a conspiracy theory that pretty much every woman he has ever encountered banded together and manipulated Dawn to press the assault charges. Kathryn’s custody filing is in large part based on Thomas Ravenel’s sexual assault and battery case filed by Nanny Dawn.
From what I have observed and heard, Thomas Ravenel feels like Kathryn played a part in Dawn filing charges. That is not true. However, that doesn’t seem to concern him.
I’m not covering the custody battle for many reasons. I think custody cases should be sealed in every state. Also he is shooting himself in the foot with the criminal case and I’m here for that. I am content just to take in all the information that comes to me.
When Does Thomas Ravenel’s Criminal Trial Start?
Short Answer: Maybe Never, I don’t know.
Longer Answer: My sources say Thomas Ravenel’s time limit on the plea deal has expired. So I’m waiting to hear if he was smart enough to take it. I don’t think he is.
There Are Two Outcomes At This Time
Thomas Takes A Plea Deal
The plea is to second degree assault and battery. This is a misdemeanor charge in South Carolina. Sentencing guidelines suggest a fine of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than three years, or both.
If he has taken the plea, the he would go before a judge for sentencing soon.
Thomas Does Not Take A Plea Deal
Thomas Ravenel is an angry narcissist and misogynist in my opinion. I do not recall if the plea deal includes jail time or if I ever knew that. If the plea deal includes any jail time, I don’t see him taking it. Even if it doesn’t include jail time, I don’t see him taking it. His sense of privilege and entitlement will preclude him from admitting what he did, in my opinion.
I also know what a toll this is taking on Nanny Dawn and her family. As is the case, prosecuting a sexual assault case is a re-victimization. For her sake, I hope he takes the guilty plea deal. At least she gets an admission. Again. I don’t think he has the fortitude to do that.
If he goes to trial, my sources say that the prosecutor will be asking for a finding on first degree assault and battery. That is a felony. That charge requires imprisonment. The maximum jail time is ten years.
Wait And See…
Because the plea deal time is up, we should be hearing one way or another soon. At one point I hearded that he asked for another thirty days to enter a plea. If that is true, its sound like he might be considering it. Or perhaps his attorney is trying to encourage him to consider it. I am not proclaiming I have all the facts and knowledge on either the custody case or the criminal case. Until we know the situation with the plea deal from a court official we have to wait and see.
I have heard what the streets are saying. I have heard what my sources are saying. And I feel like we will have more information very soon.
P.S. Those of you who are regular readers know I like to included the photo of Thomas Ravenel sweating in church in as many posts as possible. Someone recently told me that Thomas is “an atheist” who doesn’t celebrate Christmas. That’s puzzling. I need to go back and find those staged videos of Thomas with the kids at Christmas. Was there a tree? I guess atheists do have trees. I just thought that was an odd piece of information.
Funny enough, I’m covering a court case here in Nevada where the folks being sued are essentially doing the same thing in using discovery to punish their political opponents. There doesn’t seem to be any strategy beyond petty people being petty.
And yes, we’ve already known TRav is petty AF. Still, thanks for the update. I never grow tired of you posting that TRav sweating in church photo!
He’s an asshole with money. A narcissistic asshole with money.
My heart goes out to Nanny Dawn.
I would like to add to your post, JoJoFLL, by stating it’s my feeling that he’s a narcissistic alleged alcoholic and drug addict asshole with an alleged lot of money. My heart, as well, goes out to Nanny Dawn. I’ve been sexually molested as a child and as a teenager both and it took me decades and a ton of therapy to get past it as best possible. I still have complex-PTSD, anxiety, and depression that I daily battle with to this day. I hope and pray that Nanny Dawn has had access to excellent counseling services and a supportive group of family and friends to help her recover from the “alleged” sexual assault. I personally reveal that her statement about this alleged assault has been truthful and accurate. I personally hope and pray that he’s found guilty and does get prison time, given his previous drug conviction, and I sincerely hope and pray that Kathryn gets full custody of those children too, especially if Ravenal is still with that “alleged” escort and “allegedly” insane narcissist that he calls his girlfriend or fiancee or whatever she is because I worry for those children’s physical and emotional safety being around her and being around Ravenal.
As usual, thank you so much for your excellent and informative post about the horror-fest (allegedly) that Thomas Ravenal is involved in and creates, TT. At least I know that if I want the facts and nothing but the facts, this site is by FAR the BEST site to get that info.
That should have read that “I personally BELIEVE” her statement, not “reveal” – ughhh, it has been a long, long day.
I’m so sorry for what you’ve gone through.
Yes, TR has lots of money, his first cousin was a long term boyfriend of mine when I was in my early twenties.
I cannot believe that I thought that he was cute the first few episodes of the first season. So. Gross. Is Craig the only one who is still good looking? As far as being an atheist celebrating Christmas, my husband does. For us it is a fun family time. Not sure that I would be overly excited about Christmas family time with TRav. Kathryn, yes.
I was told that he DOES NOT celebrate Christmas. He does however attend church. I find this information odd and don’t see how it could be true. It would be known by people and MUCH DISCUSSED in Chucktown. Nonetheless, the source is pretty knowledgeable. So I just found it all puzzling.
There are churches I’ve known where people attend church just “to be seen”, more of a social club than a church, no Bibles even required. These types of churches are generally one particular sect of Protestant churches, I won’t say which particular one because I don’t want to offend anyone who might attend a good one of that particular kind, but it has been my experience that a lot of times the “rich and political” will attend just so they make themselves look good and many are atheists. Hey, even Satan was a fallen angel and was in Heaven until he was shown the door, so why not Thomas Ravenal – he and Satan may allegedly have a lot in common – ha ha.
Remember he also made a big deal and had his daughter christened. As you said, I wouldn’t expect a person who says he’s “not religious” to indulge in such a ceremony. If all he wanted was presents, he could have simply had a “sip and see.” Or even just a big party, without dragging a Priest into it.
He had the child christened to fuck with Kathryn who he did not invite or inform of the christening. But she found out and crashed her own kids christening.
That was for Saint’s christening, but remember, they held a christening for Kensie at Brookland Plantation which was said to actually be Kenzie’s 2nd christening.
According to the episode guide, they had a 2nd one because “their daughters first godmother may have gotten too frisky with Thomas.” I’ve always wondered what that story was all about and who was her 1st godmother…
My memory is a little foggy, but in an episode way back (once upon a time, in a land far far away…) I’m pretty sure he had some scenes with his pastor at the French Huguenot church talking about Kathryn. Of course, what he does in public doesn’t mean he also isn’t privately an atheist. Puzzling indeed!
Thomas and Kathryn were both members of that church. Kathryn had to find a new one to avoid seeing him every Sunday.
But yes, I am well aware that Thomas goes to that church that is where the photo was taken. Whenever he is in trouble his PR people have him walk with the babies in the stroller to the church for photo ops. This picture was one he took. Not quite what the PR team had hoped for.
There are a couple SC episodes where Ravenel was filmed with a minister. It appeared that they knew each other. I won’t speculate further.
Thanks for the update. I am already missing Mexican Dynasty. But I don’t think I can bear to watch SC.
If true, it says allot that the prosecutor wants the first degree assault and battery.
I would love to know who leaked our favorite photo. Its clearly a selfie.
He actually posted it himself on Instagram a couple of years ago
He looks like he’s sweating while taking a dump in church.
Could be attending the Church of meth and the air conditioning wasn’t working. I’ll never tire of this picture.
If Thomas had any idea that photo was going to be a source of such hilarity, it would have never seen the light of day!
His family were Hugenauts who came to America for religious freedom, if I remember correctly. The church he was photographed in is the family church.
Huguenot
T Ravs only God is money women & property. I hope Katherine gets far away from his sorry poor excuse for an ass. He makes me retch.
“T Ravs only God is money women & property”
This should be my only comment to anything. Someone gets it.
I don’t see him taking any kind of deal. In his eyes he has done nothing wrong allegedly. My own personal opinion is this type of man hates women and it’s deep rooted. Allegedly. Prayers for Kensie Saint Dawn and Kathryn.
exactly.
Yes, that would be a really big deal.
I just keep being stunned by his arrogance about all of this, he thinks it’s all people being mean and jealous of his hot self. He is such a fucking idiot, he is just wasting money at this point.
Ashley J and TRav posted a picture of themselves last year at the French Huguenot Church in Charleston. It was during the SC/Ashley debacle. I seem to remember Thomas being somehow tied to the French Huguenots. I guess anything to puff himself up. I also NEVER grow tired of that picture. Please always include it.
I would love Kathryn to get full custody of the children. She seems better equipped to care for them. Give Thomas supervised visitation.
Great piece TT! I hope they hang ThomASS from the highest tree. If he is truly an atheist it explains a lot. The man has NO soul.
He grizzled a Christmas or so on his Instagram that Bravo had made him delay putting u his Christmas tree at home. He had a picture of his big tree. So he does the tree at Christmas, if nothing else. He is so much into conspicuous spending to impress that it is hard for me to believe he does not do showy presents at Christmas to whoever is having their day “in the sun” with him.
Thank you for your update! I can’t imagine having 3 court cases going on at the same time. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
Unfortunately, I know TRav and his family. They attend same church as my family have for generations. He comes from a well known but decrepid family entitled jacka****. He is a real phony – the type that looks past you and never at you when talking. Everyone I know hopes Katherine gets and keeps the children-she has a really nice family. It looks like his time has run out for always getting his way-he’s made alot of enemies and his family is weary of his antics and embarrassment but they do love his children. The whole family is just awful. I don’t watch.
That was Saint’s christening not Kensie’s. T&K were together for Kensie’s christening.
TRAV is purely controlled by alcohol, ego, & this delusional conclusion he’s special? .. he’s not, he’s been such a GIANT d!ck, he’s looking like his dad..???
Thanks for the update TT ?
