Blind Item: It’s with a heavy heart I break this news. It looks like this former RSP is going to either walk on his charges, or get no jail time from a judge. He has gotten SEVERAL extensions on making a plea deal. But I am hearing there will be no trial. It’s unclear what that means. I have heard there will be no jury, And a judge is close to making a decision. IN MY OPINION he or she as been bought.
Once again, money gets you out of a lot of things. The worst part is several people privately emailed me who were so glad their attacker was finally going to be held accountable for something. For some it happened in college. This has been a pattern his whole life. Another is afraid her husband would kill him and go to jail if she came forward. I’ve heard too many stories that were awful and this will be devastating to many other victims.
I went a long time really redacting a lot of disturbing comments here and getting a lot of emails that were very hard to read. This is hard a hard Blind Item to report.

This will be disastrous for the child custody case as well. I fear for those kids. But in the south, and I am a southerner, sometimes it is all about who you know. But letting someone with (inadmissible) sexual assaults let back out onto the streets is despicable. He his not capable of stopping what he does. And he is not a parent to those kids.
If this blind item is true, I will be devastated along with my #MeToo #TimesUp sisters. For the first time, I hope my source is wrong. But I don’t think they are.
Ugh. F*** you T Rav. What are your thoughts (if my guess is even close) on their custody judge?? I haven’t been following too closely, I admit. I just always like to hear your thoughts.
F*ck. I had a feeling T-Rav would get away with it. Only Silver Lining is his name has been dragged through the mud. And hopefully numerous women will now know to avoid him like the plague
For a lot of us, I think it was a foregone conclusion that TRav would never serve jail time or have any type of real punishment. Given his family’s lifelong connections, like a tree with roots that run deep and strong, there’s no chance that the good old boys’ network would convict one of their own. It makes me want to throw up.
Didn’t he already do prison time>
Thomas Ravenel
Please post the whore in church.
This makes me sick. I really hate that he’s going to get away with what he’s done.
I am up all night about it. FOR ONCE I AM HOPING MY SOURCE IS WRONG. But I don’t think it is.
Transparency is a potential deterrent. Has this info been available to the Charleston media? Public outrage after the fact will accomplish nothing.
I felt nauseous reading this. This is sickening and enraging, but I can’t say it’s surprising, sadly.
At first I thought Jenelle because its been reported her husband used the good old boy favor line aka threat to get the kids back. But, I could see where it could be Thomas. I said all along that the one with the most money would win in the end. Not that I think Kathryn is fit either.
TRav will be given another chance at life but he will repeat his pattern. He thinks he won, and because of that, he will do it again. Kathryn needs to stay quiet and do what she is doing. It will happen again. He thinks he is above the system.
I totally agree with you. I do think that he’s luck will eventually run out.
As we all know, Karma is a bitch. I have witnessed it too many times. What goes around comes around.It May take a while but it will happen. Praying for those children who do not know what their destiny will be. No child deserves parents like these!
At first I thought it was going to be about Joe Guidice. I hate that they are allowing him extra time to complete his Court documents. I am ready for him to be deported. I wish the same for Teresa. Deport her too.
They say she’s served her time and made restitution but only a small %, There are still Sandy victims Joe bilked out of insurance money that has never been repaid and they have no homes. She knews and was complicit. Bu they can’t deport her since she is a citizen.
But how would that fit with the statements written about how things work in the south? Definitely not them. T-Rav!
This beyond sickens me! But maybe the universe will send him a woman who won’t take his shit and will “put him in his place” when he tries his shit.
This does not surprise me at all. Ravenel’s family money and connections were enough to keep him out of trouble this time. Thomas Ravenel is a danger to women and society in general but the Ravenel name must be kept “clean” no matter how much fucking money is paid out to do so.
I feel so desperately sorry for Kensie and Saint. I really hope that Ravenel doesn’t have much to do with them! Better they are raised by nannies than by a psychopath.
Of course my heart goes out to Kathryn. I can’t even imagine her life if this blind is the truth. I can only hope that Ravenel money and connections don’t grease palms in order to take Kensie and Saint away from Kathryn altogether.
Charleston, SC reeks of sleaze and evil right now.
Sadly, I never really believed he was going to be held accountable anyway. It isn’t just in the south that powerful men with money get away with crimes. It’s worldwide.
I came to say the same. Epstein, Kevin Spacey’s recent result, and many other such cases all over the world tell us that connections, money, and blackmail win out.
Shame for Kathryn, the kids and all his victims. There will be future ones. I think the same will be happening with that sleaze ball producer Weinstein..
I’m sickened to here this.
Assuming it’s the douchcanoe Ravenal you’re referring to. I despise him & his SICK family ( if this is who the blind is referring to) for aiding his predatory ways!
I’m all for family “sticking together “ but not when it comes to law breaking/ ruining other peoples lives. If they are helping, they are just as guilty WHEN he does it again!
Praying 🙏 the source is wrong or a miracle happens!
So sick!
Sending Prayers to the victims!
Could they take it to a civil suit??
It has to be T-Rav and it is beyond sickening! For the life of me, Kathryn has been on the straight and narrow for I would guess at least a year now – why can she not have physical custody of those children at this point? She’s done the work and she’s an awesome mom! Just makes me want to throw up reading this news.
I am sickened by this news. Prayers for Kathryn and her children.
I, like some others here never thought he’d be held accountable. This is the sad reality of the world we live in even in the “Me Too” era. We still have a long way to go.
If this is T-Rav I’m worried that he will retaliate against Katherine. I don’t think it would be hard for him to set her up and make false accusations causing her to lose custody. She seems to want to co-parent and I think he could slither his way back into her life and when her defense is down destroy her. How can she protect herself moving forward? Does she have the money and connections to fight back?
For shame.
He’s going to revert right back to scum he is.
I do think eventually he’ll be punished, but not soon enough.
If there is a trusted reporter in the area, I hope the information is passed on to the reporter for investigation of corrupt judges. Someone needs to blow the whistle and report this judge to the FBI. Corruption should never be tolerated.
This is so, so upsetting. I was really hoping that he would finally be held accountable for his actions, but the pessimist in me is sadly not surprised.
Sadly I have read so many news accounts of men getting off because of the good old boy network such as the judge who gave a kid virtual no time for rape because “he’s from a good family”. Its beyond sad.
I totally believe that a lot of the ‘evidence’ he had against Kathryn is suspect. Not all, but some. Either he paid off the lab to give him a clean drug screen or he paid off the judge. Sadly, I knew nothing would come of these sexual assault charges against him. He’s a miserable and spiteful douche hole who only wants to get custody of those kids to stick it to Kathryn. And so he doesn’t have to pay her anything for child support.
This Sucks.
This is the way of the world now. Men getting away with what they have always gotten away with , only now they don’t have to bother hiding or pretending because…..as long as they have the name, the money, the power it’s all good. They can even brag about it and people laugh. It’s not just this case, its many people in politics, in entertainment , in churces . It doesn’t matter. Why should one even believe there will be justice any more? Well, I do. I believe with all my heart that somehow, somewhere when they least expect it or from the most unlikely source justice will be served. I have to believe that……I have to.
I don’t think a lot of these guys are hiding what they do. They do it in full view of a great many people who through a comibnation of apathy, self-interest or fear say nothing and do nothing. I won’t say names but people have known about men like the billionaire who’s in the news now for allegedly raping under-age girls for decades. Nobody did anything about it.
I wonder if someone approached the judge and said the children needed their Dad. Perhaps someone was concerned the kids would have a “jailbird” Dad.
Not an excuse, obviously. Just the only thing I can think of to let him be free.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! Wow. I just can’t even believe this. Fucking good old boys club bullshit.
I am hoping when his old man kicks the bucket that Charleston will not keep covering up his crimes…but I am naive…
I hate to say I told you so but I am not surprised at all. Men like him have made a mockery out of crimes like these. I hope he rots in hell for the damage he has inflicted on society. He is absolutely disgusting & vile. Those women’s lives will never be the same & he walks away sneering & unscathed. God help us all. This kind of behavior is atrocious & that animal is walking upright amongst us. So disturbing & horrific. I pray for all of his victims.
my mom was a nurse in a SC college town and I remember in the papers and her coming home talking about it when an enraged husband (or maybe wife…I forget) cut off a man’s pecker with an electric carving knife and threw it in the lake….this was pre-Bobbit….I smile and chuckle and hope this for our blind item….ps…I think they fished it out the lake…
Here’s how naive I am. I looked up RSP and got ligit terms for this acronym till I realized I needed to look up the slang!! Anyway the story is very sad and I feel for Katheryn since she has to deal with his sorry ass for many years to come.
I had to look it up too.
I also thought we’d se justice prevail in this case. My rose colored glasses need to be put away. This is so wrong. I’m so sad to hear this news. Please don’t give up people! Somehow we have to make the system change and correct these atrocities. #MeToo
I’m still praying for you nanny Dawn and Kathryn!
You’re not alone! I had to look it up too, my guess was completely wrong. LoL.
Maybe Kathryn and he will marry – and Trashley kill him because he didn’t pick her! Kat gets the kids, kids inherit and T-Rav and Ashley get their Karma.
I’m not surprised. Seems like men like him never get punished. I hope he meets karma someday. Horrible man. I hope Kathryn and the children can find a way to get rid of him. He’s going to make their lives difficult, that’s what men like him do. I’m also very, very sorry for the victims.
The only thing that surprises me at all is that TRav went to jail for coke; someone was unable to sweep that under the table. After that he has just been a felon with impunity. Knowing that Kathryn had to drug test when she was neither arrested nor convicted of drug use while he displays questionable behavior, cavorts with a “polo girl” and attacks others is a miscarriage of justice on many levels. I wish that CPS would step in and demand an investigation by federal authorities. Or he needs to get busted in a state where his good ol’ boy status means nothing. Every pig has their day; he will have his.
This is so sick and sad.
This is scary. He won’t say “phew, that was a close one I better change my rapist and predatory behavior.” He was just shown he can assault someone and get away with it. He can create problems and leave them for his family, children, and those around him to clean up. He’ll try this again.
The good? This reputation will still follow this man and hopefully prevent further victims. People will point to him in bars and tell their girlfriends to “stay away from him.” Or a quick Google search will show a disgusting, sweaty church selfie and instantly turn dates away. Hopefully.
What I’ve taken from the #MeToo movement is that I have to speak up. I have to teach my daughter how to speak up. I have to support women when they speak up regardless of the amount of “proof” they have. Not just in cases of violent sexual assault but also when some douche grabs a woman’s breast or makes a disgusting comment. Will it work? God, I hope so.
I hope so too snail. But there are plenty of Ashley Jacobs with piss poor parenting who will line up to be the next victim, unfortuately.
Now I’m wondering …just how does Kathryn provide such beautiful digs for her children?
Seriously? It was a promotional ad for the house. they never lived there. But her new house is amazing if that is what you mean. She makes six figures on the show and has people who do the interior design in exchange for promotion.
Tamara, does this mean that Aaron Rothman is off the hook too or is there still a chance they will be held responsible for failing to report assault as they separate cases? I believe he knew and covered it up for ratings.
Nothing ever happens to the Haymaker assholes either. But again THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. I would not have posted it at all if I had not heard it from MULTIPLE sources. I am hoping they are all wrong. If I had just heard it from one place, I would never have posted about it. But it is word all over the streets. SO… Let’s hope it is just gossip. Because if not, this is sickening.
I just can’t help but think what’s second worst only to T Rav? Covering up sexual violence against a woman in order to profit. I hope someone still holds them accountable as I believe they knew. At the very least the #metoo movement has brought down the T Ravs of the world, maybe not legally but he’s a disgrace and his career is over. But Aaron Rothman just gets a free pass?
This is horrific, how much is enough to let someone get away with this behavior?! Disgusting.
I’m not surprised. Sickened but not surprised. I hope it’s not true but I suspect it is.
This absolutely devastates me not only as a victim but for women everywhere. It’s hard enough to come forward and then this happens WTF it’s a slap in the face to every woman! Fuck him! And fuck the two men who did it to me and got away with it in this good old boy justice system. I hope they all burn in the depths of fucking hell!
Sorry TT this really set me off. You can delete if necessary.
I don’t think it is TRav. TT would not be this passionate about TRav. It’s someone else.
F-ing Thomas Ravenel. Good ole southern “justice” never ceases to amaze. The thought of this being true makes my stomach turn. I’m afraid for Kathryn, his children. and all of his victims if this blind is true. There’s truly no way to beat the good old boy network unless you’re one of them. They turn on their own without a second thought, witnessed it personally, so I can’t imagine what they could do to these women. Disgusting.
I pray that this is not true but sadly I wouldn’t be surprised. Sickening. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Le sigh :/
