This morning news broke that a judge had agreed with Kathryn Dennis’s motion to have court records sealed on her child custody case. My first thought was this was a reaction to Thomas Ravenel’s punitive strategy of deposing people from his criminal case in the child custody battle. His attorneys are given full freedom to ask whatever they like. The questions don’t have to be limited to child custody issues. His attorney has humiliated several people in the process.
However, just before the records were sealed, The Daily Mail received a copy of Nanny Dawn’s deposition.
Thomas Ravenel And JD Madison Cut From The Same Cloth
Allegedly, in the deposition, Nanny Dawn revealed that Thomas Ravenel offered to pay a female Uber driver $500 to wipe cocaine off his face and clothes She claims that Thomas Ravenel went on an alcohol and cocaine binge on the night Saint was born with another piece of crap JD Madison and two unnamed men. Also, he invited female Uber driver into his house to “give her a tour.” He was wasted she persuaded him to get cleaned up and go to the hospital to visit his son. She eventually did help clean him up before dropping him off at the hospital. JD Madison did exactly the same thing when his kids were born. And he missed the birth of at least one of his kids.
Nanny Dawn stated that Thomas Ravenel would get drunk and vomit down the side of his bed in his sleep.
The deposition states that Thomas Ravenel told her he took Viagra, Klonopin and bi-polar medications. He also injects what sounds like steroids. That would explain a lot. He traveled with huge bags of pills that he would have the front desk keep in a safe.
This is probably on of the things Kathryn Dennis was trying to avoid being in the public domain. I heard years ago that Thomas Ravenel tried to forced Kathryn to abort Saint.
More Thomas Ravenel News & Exclusive Southern Charm Season Six Spoilers Here!
Nanny Dawn said Thomas once threw cigarette butts in Kathryn’s face for sleeping longer than he found acceptable. In another incident, Thomas Ravenel pushed over bookshelves during an argument with Kathryn. In another erratic drunken episode, Thomas Ravenel allegedly “nearly amputated Kathryn’s hand in a car door.”
It is interesting to me that all of this information was published the night before the premier of Southern Charm.
So we have more evidence that Kathryn truly did suffer immense abuse at the hands of Thomas. He’s such a disgusting piece of shit, and Kathryn and the kids need to stay as far away from that monster as possible. It’s so scandalous that the South Carolina courts have cut him so much slack while putting her through so much hell.
I’m absolutely livid that this monster has been allowed full custody and to destroy the reputation of young Kathryn. The fact that he has the right to force her to take daily drug tests, but he doesn’t have to do them is proof to me that the system is flawed and he is buying off judges. Karms is coming for T-Rav.
It’s so infuriating to think that he was doing this and Kathryn was the one who had the children taken away from her! I think Mr. Ravenel could use frequent drug testing.
I don’t think there is a cell nasty enough for him, he like needs to be chained to a tree in the mountains naked in the middle of winter. A Minnesota winter, cold! Nothing about him stuns me anymore, I’m so hoping Kathryn gets full permanent custody of the kids.
Truly a monster. I hope he is given only supervised visits with the children, if he is given anything.
Holy Shit, vomiting all over your bed, side table, floor. Charming. Naturally he was with that other nasty piece of shit JD Madison. At least JD is now broke and most likely his wife has kicked him out for good. I watched a rerun this past weekend where JD told Patricia that Craig was his bitch- job wise. Oh how the tables have turned. In Whoopi Goldberg’s voice- Thomas you in danger boy!!
Does anyone know what the current status of the Madison’s marriage is? I’m just curious.
While it’s probably not a coincidence that this story was published before the premiere, I’m glad it came out because it shows another level of who this person really is.
I think it’s also safe to say that if the tables were turned, he wouldn’t hesitate to reveal the debased actions of another person, especially if it made him look good or helped his cause.
I hate this for Kenzie and Saint, however, even if this wasn’t made public, over time they would come to realize the type of person their father really is…a straight up jackass!
I used to really dislike Kathryn but now I have nothing but sympathy for her. Those kids need to be kept far away from Thomas.
The man is simply repulsive.
He preferred to target very young women who would fall for his veneer of sophistication, due to his money. I think Kathryn was completely sucked in to believing his “romantic” lies about a shared future. What a shock it must have been for Kathryn to be forced to accept the grim reality of Thomas and his cruelty – how he had used her to get the children he had wanted for ages – she had invested so much imagination in believing in him.
Ashley on the other hand got together with him as an older woman and trained nurse. She must have known the score virtually immediately and decided to work with his vices to get to her own goals.
It is kind of how the Daily Mail rolls.
What a piece of shit.
It is clearly how Thomas Ravenel rolls too.
Sorry if you are one of the few people left with blinkers re Ravenel, Erica.
A little confused – On the show Thomas brought KD to the hospital to have Saint so he was there for the birth. So he left afterwards?
Sounds like the Main house wasn’t a safe place for Thomas with all the expensive items to throw and throw up on – probably a good idea that he moved to the guest house.
About the alleged abortion claim- at on of the reunions Andy called KD out for not
Telling the truth on her WWH appearance when he asked her if she was pregnant again. She starts talking and Craig mutters something like. ‘You weren’t sure what you were going to do’ I always assumed that meant she wasn’t sure if she was going to keep the baby.
I also just watched the episode when she gave birth to Saint. He took her to the hospital and then we saw him bringing her home. I know she had a Nanny but I can’t imagine having two small children like that alone. To hear he was out drugging and boozing while she’s worried sick about how she’s going to do this alone is sadly not surprising.
The court does care about violent behavior and drug use. I hope Kathryn gets full custody.
What’s the status of Thomas’ case? Is he being prosocuted for assaulting the Nanny?
He has all the classic traits of an abuser, and had been allowed to use the court system to consistently re-victimise Kathryn.
Sadly, this is so common with narcissists. They put on the charm and the courts help them abuse their victims. It seems like it’s even worse in good ol’ boy South Carolina. If it’s true about his bipolar meds, those do not go well with alcohol or cocaine, so he probably has no memory of his sick behavior and therefore, sees himself as innocent. You can see on the show when he goes into one of those blackout rages, he doesn’t seem present in those moments.
I could tell this was the type person Thomas was from day 1. Poor Kathryn was so naive to believe his lies/lines. She looked so crazy trying to keep them together as a barely 21 year old, while he played mind games. I’ll never forget when they went to that golf course and she flew into a rage at Whitney….it was all because he was encouraging Thomas’s bad behavior. So glad she got the help she needed, and prayers she stays in recovery while getting full custody.
The first season I watch SC was the season Saint was born. I thought Thomas was with Kathryn. I swear he drove Kathryn to the hospital and she was gushing about how much Thomas has changed. What we saw on SC doesn’t mesh with the testimony given by Dawn.
WAIT WHUT??? A Reality show isn’t really REAL LIFE?
Yes it does. Dawn was talking about him celebrating with JD etc after the baby was born. We did not see him after the baby was born for some days. And Kathryn would not have known what was going on (that Dawn saw) after he left her and little Saint in the hospital.
Please stop spreading vile rumors. JD did not miss the birth of ANY of his children. I should know…I gave birth to them & he was the one that drove me to the hospital & was in the surgery room w/ me. He was very present before, during & after the births. He’s a fantastic dad.
Please stop this horrible rumor that involves my family.
Liz Madison
I think we have much different definitions of what makes a great dad.
I do think it is a bit sad that Liz is scouring the Internet to defend JD Madison. I truly mean that. I debated even putting he comment through. I mean what do you do with that? Let her try to defend her husband? Or believe my own sources
I don’t think great dads have multiple people telling me her wonderful husband was on a bender during one of her deliveries, On the other hand, /shrugs let her defend him I guess?
I guess what this tells us is that she is still with JD despite him depleting her inheritance
Unfortunately, I think your reply shows a lot about your character. I was sent this info by a family member via text.
It’s good to know that you actually debated placing this false info out there. However, you are basing your comment on made up gossip/ rumors. – I wrote to you to tell the truth.
I would think your ethical barometer would appreciate knowing straight from the source.
You see, I have children – this is a very false statement & your words actually hurt.
Elizabeth, I welcome you “setting the record straight” here. But I have reliable sources who tell me something much different. My intention is not to hurt your or your children. I can’t remember at the moment which cast member consoled you during difficult times. But some of that was on the show. Then you seemed to want to pretend like that never happened and not speak to her anymore. I do not believe that the information is false. I do not think that reporting what numerous people have told me is the cause of your pain. It is the father of your children who is source of your pain. I pray for your sake and the sake of your children you have gotten far, far away from him.
I would think her commenting would drum up a lot of replies since the show is popular. Then again, I don’t believe that’s Mrs. Madison commenting.
It’s her. And it’s sad. I don’t want to contribute to her pain. But JD’s activities in Charleston are widely known. Pleading with sites not to report it, isn’t going to fix her situation. I had really hoped she had gotten herself out of the situation. I’m not a Naomie fan at all. But Liz needs a friend who can get through to her.
I thought we were talking about ALLEGEDLY Thomas missing the birth of Saint…where was the post on JD missing a birth? I am confused.
That’s because you actually have to read the post you are commenting on to follow the comments.
Goodness, am I glad I decided to check for new comments on this post I’d read several days ago. It does sound like they are together (I asked that question a few days ago on this string) and I hate to see a family split up, especially when there are young children involved. However, I’m old enough to know where there’s smoke there’s fire. I only hope for the best for both Elizabeth and her children, and for any wrongs to be righted.
Maybe they’re working it out? Who knows? But if that’s the case, she should stay focused and stop trying to defend him to strangers who give JD nothing more than a fleeting thought now and then.
This is a bit like what Naomi encountered with Elizabeth.
So jesuschrist. What a ridiculous show. Kathy is the poor misunderstood adult woman that sleeps with multiple partners and then, because of egg and sperm uniting, delivers offspring. But according to tam here the only answer is misogyny and dumb youth. Poor Kathy.
Hi Ashley ?
El 444 certainly sounds like Ashley’s level of jealousy and bitterness. ?
Addressing EL 444, agreeing, and talking about Fynne’s nasty comment.
