Hey, y’all I work hard for the money SO HARD FOR IT HONEY… lol So please if you are discussing this EXCLUSIVE on other sites or writing your own blog, please quote sparingly and give me a link. Banjo needs new pair of shoes and wine is expensive. xo ~tt
So it’s after midnight on Saturday night and I am enjoying getting caught up on all the good shows I don’t have time to watch during the week. At the moment, that means a binge of Succession on HBO while sizing photos for next week. Then I start getting DMs from a source on Twitter. It’s not a source I hear from very often so I knew something was going down in Charleston. It’s a crazy (literally) story that involves Kathryn Dennis.
To follow this story, first you need a bit of a backstory. And it all goes back to Ashley Jacobs. When Thomas Ravenel stopped paying for Ashley’s apartment, she needed a place to stay. So she moved in with a woman named Lara Dawson. Knowing what the world knows about Ashley Jacobs you would either have to be crazy or have a drug problem or both to take Ashley as your roommate.
BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER you need to read this post. There is simply too much information there to repeat. The roommate mentioned in this post is Lara Dawson. After Lara threw Ashley to the curb, she somehow had a short lived friendship with Kathryn Dennis. I think their kids went to daycare together or something. There was something about a blogger with a boat who invited a bunch of Southern Charm people to go sailing, or something. It’s late and I want to get back watching Succession.
Now We Can Talk About Kathryn Dennis’s Friday Night
According to my source, early on Friday evening, Lara called the cops and claimed that Kathryn Dennis was hiding in her closet. As you recall, I explained in the link above that something was not right with this roommate.
It is unclear if the police came out to do a wellness check for that, or if she called again before they arrived. Edit: it appears that there was a two day period between the first call and the second call. This sounds more like mental illness than a drug problem. But it could be both. According to my source, Lara then called the cops again and said that Kathryn Dennis was “stalking her with a black guy.” Ah, the elusive black guy. This happens a lot in South Carolina. I wonder if it is the same black guy that kidnapped Susan Smith’s boys? Le sigh. Any way Kathryn Dennis and “the black guy” were also hacking her wifi.
Where Was Kathryn?
Eventually an officer came out and took a report. It has not been filed online yet since it is the weekend. The officer knew Kathryn or somehow had her phone number so he or she called Kathryn on her cell.
Well, at the time Kathryn Dennis was at her attorney’s office. Mama Joyce’s streets say Kathryn is hiring a new attorney. At any rate she was not in the closet and was not stalking Lara Dawson.
At that point Lara was arrested and charged with filing a felony police report. According my source, Lara bailed out today and was threatening suicide. The police finally located her and held her on a 72 hour psychiatric hold, my sources claim.
In the meantime, my sources claims that Kathryn has filed for a restraining order EDIT plans to file for a restraining order on Monday . It’s another headache Kathryn Dennis does not need.
The only thing I was able to confirm was the arrest itself. Stay tuned for further updates.
I hope someone knows about all of this and is taking care of her father, who is believed to have Alzheimer’s, and her child.
Good grief!!! You are so right! Kathryn does not need this. Her plate is full. I have never thought Kathryn was an angel. I felt like when she met Thomas, she was young, very naive and impressionable. We all made mistakes in our younger days…well, I did. I just feel for her. I am rooting for her. I really want to see her do well. It makes me wonder if this Lara person is just straight up crazy, if Thomas has a hand in this, or both. Please keep us posted! You amaze me with all the info you find out.
I’m very fortunate to have people that keep me up to date.
This has Thomas written all over this. Someone needs to send Kat the book “Divorcing a Narcissist” ( Google it) Unfortunately a family member went thru a custody battle w her ex who is Thomas Ravenel to a tee. Or Tea.
Wasn’t this girl w Ashely when she crashed Miss Pat’s party on season ending? So she’s friends w Thomas. Once a narcissist meets someone they can easily manipulate its game on. Idk how this web was weaved but I’d bet big bucks Thomas has a hand in this. Thomas wants two things- to be the only surviving parent of those two kids & to drive Kat to suicide. I kid you not. Thomas, in his mind, thinks Kat is the reason for all this happening to him. He wants to inflict as much damage as he can b/c he knows what buttons to push. He wants those kids, although he really didn’t want Kenzie as much as he wantEd a son. I remember him throwing out Kenzie & Kat many a time before his son was born. Also he’s cheap & Kat is costing him plenty. Remember when she lost custody & she had to pay HIM child support. Granted it wasn’t much b/c she had little to no income at the time.
My family member’s narcissistic ex husband didn’t want the kids as much as he wanted her completely gone. His comment to me was “do you realize she terrorized next for 10 years?!?” This coming from a man who was cheating on her, with several women, was a dry drunk, & held no job, while she made 6 figures supporting him. He was borrowing money from his wealthy parents pretending he had a job- this all came out in divorce & PI- as long as he got custody of kids his parents helped financially & my family member had to pay HIM child support & alimony- but he first drove her into a psych hospital.
I wish Kat well & want to see her take TR down. She’s showing her maturity not dragging that sad excuse for a father thru SC or online, but Thomas Ravenel takes no prisoners. Remember he kept saying he wished Kat would overdose.
She is an egg donor to him. Ashely didn’t pull that out of thin air.
Sorry to ramble but I’ve seen this entire story before play out in front of me.
This ex husband played mind games w my family member- claiming a 105lbs women intimidated him & he was so scared he need a TRO. Tried to gaslight her into believing she was crazy when she suspected he was cheating… I can go on & on.
Kat got away alive & sane. I hope she has a good shrink, she’s going to need one to deal w her ex until the day he dies…
It’s hard to battle people with money and political connections.hes going to do something crazy before it’s all over with.he will pay someone to do something .
No, that wasn’t Lara at Patricia’s party, but I believe she was with Ashley at the fox hunt/hay ride.
I agree with Sandy & Mike, respectively. This probably goes on everywhere. I have a family member go thru divorcing a rich ‘Man’ (term used loosely)
My family member lost her 2 kids to this crazy man. He drank ,did drugs, & cheated on her for years. The mental & verbal abuse was awful. He turned on his charm and money and everyone turned on her.
She didn’t have a relationship with her daughter until she was almost 30.
The good old boy system is alive & well!
She needs the biggest, asshole, yankee (all the Charleston ones are in bed with the Ravenels), attorney in South Carolina.
That being said. If Thomas would have married Katheryn like he promised, none of this would ever have happened, I thonk they loved each other anmd would have been happy. Her father, and his, should have insisted. Even if in name only for the kids sake.
HI Joy, you mean the Thomas that has attacked several women .? Even some say raped? He has been physically abusive and mentally abusive to a number of women including Kathryn. That is whom you think should have married her? A man many years her senior who kept her living in the basement of his home with HIS newborn child? That is the man you WISHED her Father and HIS insisted she marry? Seriously? Really?
Ditto! I feel the same way for Kathryn. I lost my two baby girls(ages 4&1)while divorcing a “very important” person years ago, they held court on a Saturday(which has never been done b4 or since!)in a county we didn’t even live in and took away the only thing that ever mattered to me! So I know how she feels, I learned the “truth” didn’t really matter in that courtroom, if u had enuf $$ to hire enuf people to say whatever u wanted them to say, then that became the “truth!” If enuf people say it, it becomes the truth! That’s the worst thing that’s ever happened, I’ve since lost my only brother and my baby sister and as much as I’ve been thru, there is nothing worse than a mother being ripped away from her children! Something inside of u dies…at least for me that’s what had to happen else I wldnt have survived. So Kathryn, it will turn out for the best, it took 18mons but I got a new judge and he overturned the one who took the payout, so keep ur chin up, u have a lot more people cheering u on than u cld imagine!
I’m sorry, that you ever had to go through that. A mother’s love for her children is everlasting. Hugs to all the moms out there!
Okay, I’ll be the first to comment! Crazy attracts crazy.
I just want Kathryn to get a break for the love! No wonder she’s been a mess, messed with and too often overrun. We’ve seen her try to move forward, I suspect she’s getting her game up hard, seeing what I’ve seen of her it goes against her nature to fight, she’s a truster that one, it’s got to be hard for her to have to fight back so hard. Sad.
It seems Ms. Lara Dawson has a history of making false police reports & has a criminal record for it.
Interesting.
I just saw your purple pen edits, I was coming back to say I wonder if Lara has some type of mental illness based on her history.
Poor Katherine. Thank goodness she will be granted a restraining order (hopefully) to protect herself & those two innocent children. She cannot catch a break.
Sadly it sounds as though she may have been Adderall, and had a psychotic break. Its all sounds so familiar because that happened to my 24yr old son. He always thought his phone hacked, he ALWAYS thought people were in cars watching him at night. How Craig went off in the airport, my son would do the same. Adderall will take a person’s mind and they may never recover. My so is somewhat “back”, he’s 28 now.
I agree 100% but did you notice Shep & Austin had zipped their lips? IMO they’re all on it. Shep goes from 0 to 100 w everyone at anytime, he’s either bipolar or he’s taking Adderall himself and Austin enough said.
Thomas just finished up his plea deal & again is free to focus on getting rid of KD anyway he can. If this Lara gal was the one w Ashley at Miss Pat’s party she was tossed out of, it’s not impossible she was/is friends with Thomas & May have been manipulated by Thomas to do this. As crazy as this sounds, it’s could be very true.
Thomas is a malignant narcissist who wants KD gone. Literally.
In his mind she is the reason for everything going wrong in his life. Not himself or his addictions nor his pathological behavior.
I hope KD has gotten a good lawyer who has a PI. I wouldn’t put anything past Thomas Ravenel. Look what he did to that other woman he tried to date that he thought was better material than Ashley….
Indeed!! Its time his family put pressure on him too. They do matter to him. Shape up, son!! Act like an adult!!
Post edited with two minor edits in purple.
Adderal is speed. Speed makes you crazy. Xanax allows the crazy to come out of your mouth. Ambien makes you sleepwalk, sleep Drive etc. so like zombies, the crazies will walk and drive among us if these drs keep prescribing this dangerous combination. They are under the influence of these drugs. Not who they really are. If they are getting them legally then their drs and pharmacists should be held accountable. They are supposed to monitor what their patients are taking and whether they are contradicting.
As long as Kathryn has Patricia in her corner Kathryn will be fine…. I hope..
Indeed. That Patricia Is a powerhouse. How I would love to have a friend like her on my side.
Me too. She’s s good ally to have in your corner no matter what. Miss P don’t mess around
Kathryn is being abused by a narcassist who has money touse the courts to harass her. At first, he was able to alienate her from….EVERYONE…including ..and most importantly her kids. He is sick. Parental Alienation is a huge epidemic!!!!
She doesn’t neeed another person with a personal disorder attacking her. I cant eait to read Kathryn’s book when she is 40.
While we can sit back, saying this or that….that sad fact is it sounds like the woman possibly had issues w Adderall. I only say that, due to my son, at 24, a Dr put him on Adderall. My son lived 4 hrs away ended up in psyic ward twice. He had a mental break, now after 4 years and living w me, he is slowly getting better. This last season of SC my heart hurt for Craig, all the Adderall signs were there. And Drs make it worse by prescribing Xanax to calm the SPEED of Adderall and prescribe Ambien for sleep.
Peace and Love ✌💜🙏
So sorry to hear that this happened to your son. I’ve heard about this being the next new prescription combo and it is downright scary and maddening. I recently commented that I am of the belief that Kelly Dodd of RHOC is on this combo and along with her alcohol intake the viewers have yet to see the worst of what’s to come.The fact that Bravo exploits these types of problems is maddening also. Glad to hear that your son is coming back to you. xo
Kelly has nothing to do with this. Troll.
Well aren’t you a delightful addition to the group! Please share with us your valuable input. I’m dying to hear it ALL.
And may I suggest, lighten up Francis! 🖕
Janice, Kelly admitted to being on Xanax on WWHL. She offered one to one of the other HW (Gina?) on TV. A felony. I am not sure but I think she admitted to being on other Rx meds too.
Ah, Jenice is new clearly hasn’t bothered to take the temperature of the room and realize you are a beloved commenter here. Lighten Up Francis INDEED.
I may have to give her another seating arrangement. But I’m down for one more chance.
How crazy ! Poor Katherine! Lord I haven’t thought about Susan Smith and what she did to this little angels in years. It was a good example of showing how there always claims of random black men.
I was living in SC at the time, I believe it was about the same time as the OJ trial but I could be mistaken. There was literally something on the news every night where some white lady was saying that “a black guy” did something or another. And everyone would nod and say “oh a black guy…” My not really a boyfriend but not really just a friend at that time was deeply hurt on a regular basis.
I read somewhere that Susan Smith was busted for drugs many times in prison & also sleeping with a prison guard. Obvious sociopath-scary these people have kids.
Whether this is due to existing mental illness, the Rx combination or both, it’s not good. I fear for this Lara person’s family as well as Kathryn. KCD does not need this right now! My goodness that girl’s plate is full and I’m sure she is still in a daze from losing her momma not to mention the car wrecks, and the never-ending Thomas crap. I will always have a soft spot for Kathryn.
Hello, Karma? Isn’t Thomas’s time up? He is literally the one who put ALL of this in motion in addition to the charges that he just bought himself out of! He is due his just desserts. 😐
As an aside, I hope you’re able to get caught up on Succession. It’s getting really good!
Thomas shouldn’t get custody AT ALL! Why is he even fighting Katherine when he is a convicted felon-the judge should just give full custody to Katherine-end of story!!!
Wasn’t a text from Lara also submitted
In court that lara was trying to score drugs for KD?
It’s been within the past two weeks, but Daily Mail had a video clip of Thomas slurring is words and taking mushrooms.
Word on the street is that KD’s ex, Ashley Pillar ( ha ha I know another Ashley) is responsible for the video. Another flip flopped person in all this crazy crap. He previously submitted info that said TRav is the better parent. Now he’s allegedly made the video public
Sounds like Ashley may have given this unhinged Lara some info about KD and she decided to use it to have her 15min … Very Sad.
Unfortunately takes one unhinged person to know another and they had to then involve KD
This poor girl … Maybe Bravo should start doing mental and wellness checks on who they bring onto these shows. .. JMO
That is exactly what happened — I know first hand of Lara and Ashley and poor Ashley got wrangled in by Lara’s pathological lying. (I would never say poor Ashley ever!!! But in this case – one only could!) Lara does damaging lying and even involves her young daughter. She needs to go find Jesus like she preaches about in her instagram.
The best thing Kathryn can do, like myself is get the hell out of South Carolina. Charleston isn’t the only city full of crazy. In that state. Charleston ranks up there with Lexington, Columbia and Greenville.
I just want to add that the super hot, well dressed black guy who is always with the cast is Chelsea Ravenel and I hope they make him part of the cast.
That’s all I got.
I’ve seen him in the background on the show. Chelsea and his family are great looking, fun insta too.
Wait, what? JoJoFLL, Chelsea Ravenel??
Yep. Go to Instagram and look him up. He’s a Charleston designer and involved with Gwynn’s. He is best friends with my girlfriend’s son.
WHA???? I thought I was your girlfriend.
Lara has pictures posted on her instagram of her and Kathryn at church together in August, and at Kensie’s preschool graduation in May. Kathryn commented “I love you girl, thank you for coming.” I guess my point is that from where I sit (behind a computer screen), Kathryn hasn’t been “dealt” another hand of crazy, but has invited it in.
jmo…but Thomas has PI’s that do stalk people and both he and Ashley have been accused of cyber/social media stalking. Maybe they saw an unfortunate victim/prey in ms. Dawson and have gone after her weaknesses because she has been a friend to Kathryn AND has given deposition for Kathryn in the Custody Battle in addition to pissing off crazy ass Ashley by evicting her and getting a restraining order against her. Lara made the report to the police but I would not put it past that evil duo to have driven her to it. I do hate it for Kathryn.
As I read about this woman and her paranoid delusions, it sounds like a bad trip on acid and mental illness tried up in a whole lot of crazy. It’s amazing to me how many people blame Kathryn for all their bad behavior. Im sure Kathryn has better things to do than hangout in someone’s closet. Thanks Tamara for getting the word out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
I wonder how much he paid Lara to do that and I’m being serious. It will either get KD in trouble or discredit Lara as a witness for her custody case, it’s a win win either way
No, Lara is just that crazy! She needs help and needs to really focus on her and her daughter and not her Instagram and 4 minutes of “fame”.
Lara really has issues! She had an oxy addiction earlier this year followed by a near successful suicide overdose attempt followed by outpatient rehab. Always taking pills of some type. Then her divorce was finalized. She is a liar and a manipulator. She can barley get through her days even knowing what day it is, while not even having a job. The saddest part is her adorable little girl who will more than likely be full time with her dad after this latest stunt. She claims to have been hacked in September FB posts but the emails shown as ‘proof’ indicate they were sent to her early June….Best of all she has wrangled some guy into believing she’s a Christian and updated their FB dating status days before her arrest. This poor guy, David Roberts has no idea what he’s gotten into! Run David RUN!! God help her Mother for having to deal with all of this, she is a sweet loving and caring lady.
What wrong with these people and why would a mother/caretaker but herself in this position? I’m happy Kathryn was at her lawyer! You can’t get a better alibi. I will pray for all, especially Kathryn, the child, and the sick father.
This is so sad. Based on your info I have great compassion for Lara and her family. I am sorry Kathryn has this cropping up for her as well.
I’d like to see Kathryn get a break.
Poor Kathryn, the creeps and lowlifes are really crawling out of the woodwork.
Im fromCharleston, andhave never known anyone who acts like these people. But I wrote to say, WE IN CHARLESTON, BLACK AND WHITE, TRULY LOVE EACH OTHER. Lookat outlr Unity Bridge is you want to see how we stand tof gether with each other. Js
Why do we suspect otc drugs, rather than good old fashioned, crazy making meth as being the drug of choice? It’s cheaper, it destroys the body inside out, creates a population of borderline personality disorder with schizophrenic tendencies. Maybe.
