Well people have been telling me this for months. But I can’t imagine him not living in Charleston and basically leaving his children. But apparently he has knocked someone else up and they are going to live in Aiken in his new home. I personally feel like it will be his home during polo season. I have not checked into his new baby mama. No idea who she is and do not care.
Land and homes are quite cheap in Aiken. It will likely be a part time home. So who ever he has knocked up this time will likely live there during the season. I think the only person who cares about this story is Ashley, the nurse of death.
I had to look up Aiken. So it’s near Augusta (GA)?
It sucks for the people of Aiken, but maybe the people of Charleston will finally get some respite? Thomas is such trash. I don’t care about his “pedigree”. He’s a straight-up predator.
The epitome of white privilege.
I agree Deb & I’ll be honest-it makes me really angry. Do you ever look back on your life & think-wow-you know what-I’m a pretty good person & I led a nice life as I was kind to most people(that’s the way I was raised). I then look at people like him & I’m baffled. They live in these gorgeous homes all the while just being horrible, despicable people. I know a lot of wealthy people can be truly wonderful. I worked in an industry for years & they were my clientele. Some were lovely, generous & kind to many. It’s not even the homes-it’s everything. It feels like they skate through life with a path of destruction. I normally hold a lot in(too much to my detriment)& it’s not healthy thus a recent complete breakdown(I’m now on disabilty). This lockdown has shown a horrible side of humanity. He already has these big beautiful homes but I guess it’s never enough. Does he just wake up & go buy another while we go through a pandemic that is crushing mankind? It’s seems so brazen, “look at me-look what I can do”! It’s disgusting & it takes a lot for me to say that out loud. I’m getting braver & more vocal(at least on here with all of you here-lol)being in lockdown. I apologize for the rant!! Thanks for letting me vent. Sending love & prayers to all of you?
Hahaha right?!?!?!
People of Aiken will never see him. Small town in the country. He will torture the people of Augusta instead.
When I read the part that said “I can’t imagine him living” I spit my drink out. That was thee most fortunate autocorrect, ever. Loving your site from afar and sending you all kinds of positive vibes TT. My sisters bf died very suddenly last month when this all happened, he was never tested and cremated. 46. Haven’t been commenting but always love getting away from the reality by logging on your site. ?thanks for everything
Sorry about your sister’s beau. 46 is WAAAY to young to go. It sounds like you two are healthy, so thank the angels — not the ones in Ravenel’s church above — for that.
My heart breaks for you & your family. I can’t imagine. If I could take this all away for everyone I would. I feel helpless & I wish I could say something that could help y’all during this time. Please know people do care & are thinking of you during this time. I will include your family & your sister’s boyfriend’s family in my prayers tonight. People say my prayers really work?❤️
I think even Nurse Ratchett Ashley doesn’t care about Ravenel.
What will she do if polo season is canceled or delayed. I guess she and the Dolphin COULD rent a yacht — The SS Minnow.
For some reason always seeing the picture and then reading your “literal whore sweating in church” caption makes me smile and laugh every single time. Thanks for making my day TT!
I think it is time to stop talking about Mr. Ravenel…His children are getting to an age where they will be hurt by things he has done in the past…Please be decent and say something kind about someone you know…Where does it gain anyone to continue bashing him? Think about it people…Please…
Yet, it really isn’t the past, is it? He continues with his vile behavior and has little to no regard as to the consequences of such actions…especially when it comes to the emotional well being of his children.
The internet is forever and this is a mild post compared to Thomas’ past behavior regarding women. If he’s so concerned with his kids seeing his true colors perhaps he should change his ways, but we all know that will never happen. Men like Thomas and Shep don’t change – money ensures them to be rotten forever with little to no consequence.
If the this was about his children and exposing private moments in their life (such as it happens on Teen Mom) I would agree. However this is about Thomas and his actions. It is people like him that get away with horrific behavior because they depend on people not talking. As far as I am concerned TT should post away and continue to expose his behavior.
I think it will be more distressing to find out he went to prison for selling drugs and took a plea deal for rape, and to see his hideous behavior on national TV than to worry about what the public reaction to his behaviors were. Also, PLEASE READ THE MOTHERFUCKING COMMENTING RULES. See? I was nice. I said please!
Totally agree! He has been accused of so many things and will not stay off social media to protect his children. He should be exposed for what he is!
He should be thinking with the head on his shoulders than the little head his daughter is at the age she is reading, the only thing he does is run from life he promises the world and the ladies get nada
I can’t imagine any mature woman with a brain dating, let alone breeding with, that old roué so I had to have a gander at this messy boots and messy she is.
Oh how LOVE the moniker “roue'”! Havent heard that one in a long time. Fits TRavenous perfectly!
It does describe him perfectly!
If memory serves me correct wasn’t this show based on the premise of Peter Pan boys who never grow up?
They have no understanding of the word “Mature” however the word “Messy” was and still is their mission statement.
The other word that comes into play ” Money” so I think here we go again ” Ground Hog Day 2.0
TRAV, Kathryn and Messy will get their own show on how to be a blended family… Ashley will become the new Nanny.
OH Good God…Nooo – I am giving myself a headache.
I can appreciate the people who are concerned about the children & what they might read in the future. I was a step-daughter & step sister to very young children. My step brother got to middle school with a third grade reading level. I was furious. My very wise mother told me that you can’t care more than the parents. You will make yourself crazy because you have no voice in the situation, not my kid, not my place. It’s advice I apply when I’m watching reality show’s of parents who don’t give a moments thought how their behavior or words may affect their children. Too many examples to point out but it helps my Blood Pressure. Thanks TT for all you do while we all lose our minds. This blog & the commenters is my happy place.
I love everything you said, Lisa. You’re so right, it’s completely unfortunate that he just doesn’t seem to care. Maybe he feels at this point there’s already too much out there to come back from. Or maybe he’s a disgusting predator completely devoid of any feeling. Either way, I hate that the kids will suffer for it. But your mother gave you great advice. Sounds like a very wise woman indeed.
how many staff does it take to run that place, the house, the stables, the grounds? wonder what he sold to buy this new place. the overhead must be awful.
He’s moved Kathryn to his old farm once she got pregnant. Maybe it’s just a tradition for him at this point.
And made her live in the basement. Allegedly.
Yeah I remember seeing her film in the basement
I guess he sold the place on Edisto? So he needed a place for his ponies and needed to purchase another home to avoid any taxes on the profits from the sale of the Edisto “farm”…..Aiken is a HUGE horse town with a shit ton of horse/polo people. That place is gorgeous and the price he paid seems very reasonsable but hell…I have a friend who is a detective on the police force in Aiken maybe I ought to give him a head’s up that a felon/rapist is moving to town.
You totally should. I don’t think he sold Edisto. I’ve considered moving to Edisto many times. He has put it on the market many many times for a ridiculous price. There are still many little shacks on Edisto that I can afford. While we are talking about real estate, I saw some houses in Silicon Valley today (don’t ask) that were like five bedrooms and NINE BATHROOMS!! Who the hell needs NINE BATHROOMS? My little three tiny bedroom and on bath house is where my parents raised FIVE KIDS. It just seem like an excess I would not want to pay for even if I a kajillionare!
Brookland is currently on the market for $3.6M. It’s a beautiful piece of land, but remote (on a relatively remote island) so Katherine’s struggle was real. And TT, the shacks out here aren’t affordable at the moment, but take another look this fall. Based on our 6 week lock-down, I suspect there will be a lot of “I rent the house to pay the taxes and property tax” places will be well priced.
Beachboy! Is Dodge Plantation still for sale? I would rather live there than Brooklands…the land is pretty at Brooklands but the house doesnt do it for me…not like Dodge …love that place.
And Thomas always lists the plantation for WAY more than it is worth.
Are you talking about the Edisto plantation? Edisto is an amazing island and if you are not on the water, there is affordable housing. I have one of those real estate sites sending me info all the time. I want to be ON the water though. Not across the street.
The Edisto Plantation that I love is called Seabrook Plantation but it is also known as “The Dodge Plantation” and it is staight up just gorgeous. It was selling for like 7.9 million but I am not sure if it is for sale still or not. I dont blame you…the beach is wonderful but after those two hurricanes, Irma and Matthew, that have hit there I sometimes wonder if beachfront is worth the trouble or the insurance rates…They have some sweet little cottages in Windham Golf Course that I love and that would be my choice if I win the lottery! Or maybe one of the older Beach Houses a few rows back that still have the original Heart of Pine wall paneling, they bring back good old memories!
Yeah I think when Banjo dies I’ll go somewhere and rent a place on a beach somewhere. I am sort of a dish nut. So I have dishes for “my beach house” that I haven’t even opened here somewhere….
I checked with a realtor friend here, and Seabrook is not currently on the market. But, if someone showed up with that $7.9M check…it could likely be yours! We’ve seen a mini building boom (on the beach island, up island, I can’t say) so a lot of those old heart of pine beach houses either aren’t as affordable or are going to the ground because people want “modern” amenities. Even at a sleepy little beach like Edisto.
Sort of related: just saw an ad in our little monthly newspaper at Edisto that Brookland is available to rent for “weddings and events.” Gotta pay those high property taxes somehow!
Oh look! There is a pool for him to drop the new baby in!
Oh f**8 them that house is gorgeous…would have loved the idea of it in my 20’s and 30’s, now I just think , Oh my g***., just too much trouble, cleaning, etc, etc .But I guess if you can afford to buy it , you can afford to get someone else to clean it for you, garden for you, do the upkeep for you…arrrrhhhgggg… I’m tired
Aiken is rich horse country.
The house and grounds are really lovely!
I’m wondering if the furnishings that are shown are his or staged. It really looks beautiful
Not his. That was the agents’s selling video. He got a VERY good deal on the property. If I had the money I would have bought it too. He paid 1.8 million and has sold for in the twos several times.
Aiken is a polo town he spends a lot of time there in the season. He will like living there .
Aikenites love ‘The Balconey’. I don’t know anyone here who is happy that TR will be a resident in our beautiful, quaint town. People here pride themselves on being ‘everyday people’. I have stood in line at our local grocery stores with multi-billionaires who dress like they bought their clothes from a thrift store. Just saying, old Aiken money is NOT pretentious, just the opposite. I am honored to be a resident of Aiken, good people. Now we have TR ?
I love Aiken, it’s beautiful. Sorry about Thomas.
Eff effing TRav
Can we get an open post? Because I just video chatted with a friend who agreed about (did not point out and was not malicious in any way) how fat I’ve gotten. So now, I can’t stop crying. I’m so fat. I’m so sad. That is all.
BTW, right now the hubs is trying to reassure me while being very still, hoping the storm doesn’t turn his way. Gotta love a man who knows how to lay low.
Good hubs to back you.
Even if you have gained weight, you can get back to your best weight later. No deadline. Just take care of yourself. Stay healthy.
Nice house/property!! Except the ‘subway tile’ in the main kitchen..blech! 🙁
