Back when Southern Charm first started, I said I would never watch the show. Because of Thomas Ravenel. Charleston is my favorite city in the world. I lived there very briefly as a child around age six. It was something to do with our move to Libya. Perhaps visa training for my dad. All of my siblings lived there. It’s kind of hazy to me but my eldest brother met his future wife there. Or perhaps they were already married?
Anyway, the main thing I remember is I used to like catching frogs. We lived in a house next to a little boy and together we caught all these frogs in a paper bag. I of course gave the bag to my mother. As a gift. Because, FROGS! We were inside the house when she opened the bag. So um, no good deed goes unpunished should have been an early lesson for me. Alas, I still can’t wrap my mind around that concept. But, back to Thomas Ravenel.
Charlestonians Hate Thomas Ravenel As Much As We Do
Anyway over the weekend lots of you sent me emails about a sign hanging on a house on the battery calling out Thomas Ravenel . The battery is one of the most beautiful parts of Charleston. It’s the street where there are gorgeous homes right on the water. There is a beautiful park. And it is VERY expensive to live there.

The sign was apparently made by a local restaurant/pub owner. I was a bit pleased this was happening. But didn’t post about it because I needed some time with my dog, Banjo. Thomas Ravenel was not a story I wanted to to over the holiday. But, I am REALLY pleased that today someone sent me a video letting me know it made the local news.
The words they blurred out were “forcible rape.” I really hope this guy is successful in running Thomas Ravenel out of town if he gets out of this court case.
Men like TRav never seem to pay the piper. I too hope that he is held accountable but so few men are. I like to think Katherine will thrive without that anvil on her heart & soul. The children are so beautiful & so is she. So much respect for her struggle, misspent youth etc. She really is a goddess. I pray she will rise to the occasion & has lots of support from her friends family community. Inspired by her.
I just noticed the suggested reads that WordPress uses below the comments. I think that photo of Thomas in the pink um, LAVENDER, Shirt on the boat was my first post about Thomas Ravenel, Probably worth a read.
Between this and the NeNe news, you rock the realm. Maybe no one will need to run off Ravenel because he will be in prison. Wouldn’t mind if his pig of a father was run out of town. He set the model for TRav’s behavior.
Thanks for the tea. The best crazy news, as ever.
Normally, I’m all about grace, mercy, “banning the box”, and giving people second chances. Ironically, TRav was generally not one of those people when he was in elected office. Yet now, he’s trying to force others to give him unlimited chances… To hurt more people?!
In this case, I totally understand why these folks in Charleston are calling #TimesUp on his sorry ass. I don’t care about his “breeding”, and folks there shouldn’t have to either. He needs to learn how to be a better person.
TT, I hope for all of us that have been sexually assaulted, that he goes away for a log, long time.
I hope Banjo is alright.
What is happening with JD’s case?
TT, glad you got to enjoy tacos and binge-watching with Banjo (even with his queso-stealing with the jalapenos – hope his tummy and his backside are feeling okay still!) – my Mom’s side of the family are all from Texas mainly with spillover into Louisiana – they were all in the poor class of people, but I am all too familiar with the “old money” folks and their giant senses of entitlement. I hope this time around with Nanny Dawn’s case that FINALLY that narcissistic alcoholic and drug addict monster gets what is allegedly coming to him and that Kathryn gets full and permanent custody of those two beautiful children, before T-Rav and his “escort” girlfriend or allegedly E-Bay-style pay-by-the-month bat-sh*t crazy chick have more chances to ruin those sweet children’s little psyches and hearts – neither he nor her should ever be allowed alone with those children, in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing this – I’m glad the folks of Charleston are finally hopefully ready to run T-Rav out on the rails asap too. Of course, as always, all I have written here is just my own personal opinion – the sooner that man is locked up for a long time, the better, not only for all young women, but for the entire City of Charleston. He creeps me out as much as some of those “Catch A Predator – Chriss Hansen types.”
Bwahahahaha!
You forgot his sweaty church picture! ?
Sorry, you are correct. I have a lot going on IRL.
I live on the west coast and I’d love to hang that sign from my 2nd floor balcony. They should sell them on Amazon.
That’s an excellent idea – they should do ones for every city in the US! That way, we could all buy one for our cities, in case he ever visits – heck, I would buy one!
Daaaammmnnnnn Gina!! Omg talk about public humiliation!! Karma’s a bitch!!
Holy smokes that was so hot I burnt my lips! Thanks for the tea TT! I love all your tea on Ravenel. I loved catching frogs when I was a kid too they made the best gifts!
I enjoy hearing about your love for Charleston. I was born there; however, weeks later my dad was assigned to a new Air Force base. That tie initially drew me to Southern Charm.
Someone should find out who owns the house hanging the banner; I’d love to send him/her flowers!!
It’s not a mystery who it is. And there is a new blind item today to explain his passion, um allegedly.
Holy shitballs! That takes some huge balls. Hats off to the dude who hung it!
Couldn’t the father file for an emergency order to keep Ravenel away from children? He’s a convicted drug felon, that should be enough?
I’m sure he is doing all he can.
Sorry, above post should have been on Blind Item thread. TRav’s legal bills must be astronomical !
Hey TT, What keeps you in Atlanta if Charleston is your fave city?
Saving for my next move, which will be out of the country.
I really hope Banjo is ok. We love our fur babies like they are our kids. On topic thanks for bringing this! Hope TRav gets found guilty and really pays for this.
T-Rav sleeping with JD’s wife…..
The owner is a local restaurant owner his baby’s mama is now dating Ravenel … the drama continues I live not to far away …gossip travels fast in this town specially broadcasting it from that location
