Thomas Ravenel: Evil Kathryn Dennis is Using Our Kids Ratings & Fame!!
Last month, Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis filed to amend custody of her two children following the arrest of baby daddy Thomas Ravenel.
Though Thomas is facing a criminal trial, he’s also making time to fight this custody filing.
Thomas is alleging that Kathryn is only making this move to get better ratings — and that Bravo put her up to it.
RadarOnline got their hands on some documents from Charleston Family Court.
Thomas is suing, but he’s not aiming directly at Kathryn.
Instead, the disgraced former politician is suing Bravo and production company Haymaker Media, Inc.
Thomas claims that they “encouraged, condoned and/or gave Plaintiff express or implied consent to initiate a lawsuit against the Third Party Plaintiff.”
This suit being, of course, “for custody of Plaintiff’s and Third Party Plaintiff’s minor children.”
“The Plaintiff filed and was encouraged to file this lawsuit,” Thomas’ team alleges.
And they say it was done “for the express or implied purpose of providing material for the filming of Season 6 of Southern Charm.“
Thomas is trying to stop Bravo from airing any footage of Kathryn’s kids. Even though it’s a reality show and she’s their mom.
“The Third Party Plaintiff requests that this Court enjoin the Third Party Defendants,” the suit says.
The papers continue: “from disseminating and/or airing any Season 6 and/or otherwise unaired video footage which features the minor children.”
Thomas wants no footage relating “in this matter and/or which directly or indirectly concerns the minor children, this litigation, and/or the custody dispute.”
He specifies that the dispute is: “between the Plaintiff and the Third Party Plaintiff.”
“And,” the papers say, he wants this footage to remain unaired on Bravo “permanently.”
Thomas is also asking the court to force the defendants to pay all attorney fees.
“Defendant is informed,” the suit claims.
“And believes it is not coincidental that Plaintiff initiated this litigation during the filming of the next season of Southern Charm,” the documents conclude.
Kathryn Dennis is a reality star.
While she’s not literally always filming, she does spend a lot of her life during periods when she’s filming.
That is how the reality business usually works.
Thomas should know that — he spent five years on the show that he’s now suing.
If there is a special component to Kathryn’s timing, it probably has less to do with reality television.
It probably has more to do with Thomas Ravenel’s arrest in September for assault and battery.
The arrest stems from harrowing accusations from Nanny Dawn, one of two women who have come forward to accuse Ravenel of rape.
Kathryn insisted that she was going to avoid directly commenting on the allegations at first.
(She did manage to get a 50/50 custody split around that time, very quietly)
But an arrest is much more difficult to gloss over for the sake of one’s shared children.
Kathryn very likely seeks to limit how much her very young children are exposed to what’s sure to be a highly publicized trial.
It was the month following Thomas’ arrest that Kathryn filed to amend their custody arrangement.
There is doubt that Thomas’ team’s argument that Kathryn’s sinister plot to have custody of her own children is a ploy for ratings.
It seems more likely that, at “worst,” she cynically figured that right now — while he’s facing trial — may be her best shot at getting custody.
If Thomas ends up going to prison, she’s a shoe-in for custody anyway.
But if Thomas avoids prison time or is acquitted, she may never have this good of a chance in court again.
And again, how much of their father’s trial do Kensie and Saint really need to be exposed to?
We’re no legal scholars, but some wonder if perhaps Thomas doesn’t believe that he has a real chance of blocking Bravo from filming.
It may be that he hopes to instead plant a seed of doubt in family court about Kathryn’s intentions.
If he can successfully portray his ex as an opportunistic glutton for fame, the court may be less inclined to see things Kathryn’s way.
But the guy who’s about to face trial for rape is going to have an uphill battle to convince anyone that he’s the good parent.

Thomas Ravenel Accuses Kathryn Dennis of Exploiting Kids for "Marketability" and Fame
Thomas Ravenel continues to prove that he’s simply the worst.
We doubt anyone familiar with the former Southern Charm lead would argue this point, but please allow us to explain why it must now be emphasized once again…
As previously reported on The Hollywood Gossip, Kathryn Dennis recently filed to amend her ongoing child custody agreement with Ravenel.
The stars are no longer together, but they will forever be parents to a four-year old daughter named Kensie and a nearly three-year old son named Saint.
Dennis filed these papers and asked a judge to grant her full custody of the toddlers after Ravenel was arrested for sexual assault.
Obtained by People Magazine, the documents accuse Ravenel of relying “upon the use of full-time nannies” to care for his kids, while also referencing the pair of sexual assault allegations brought against him.
Dennis also alleges that Ravenel “has drunk alcohol to excess, mixed with prescription drugs, that has caused him to be impaired during periods of time in which he had custody of the children.”
She says plenty more as well.
Dennis claims her ex of exhibited “periods of impulsive and uncontrollable bouts of anger” and “extreme narcissism and anger management problems.”
Moreover, Dennis went after Ravenel’s most recent girlfriend, Ashley Jacobs, writing that he encouraged her to “verbally assault and attack” Dennis on the Bravo series, something for which Jacobs has actually apologized.
On November 6, responded to these scathing claims.
He actually filed a counterclaim, strongly denying all of Dennis’ allegations and accusing Kathryn of acting “in bad faith.”
Ravenel doesn’t believe Dennis actually cares about the well-being of her kids or that she really thinks Thomas is a bad influence on them.
Instead, Ravenel writes in his official reply that Dennis filed her complaint “for the purpose of garnering media attention, creating material for her storyline on Southern Charm and ensuring her marketability as a reality TV star.”
Indeed, there’s simply no way Dennis would want to keep her kids away from someone accused by two women of rape, right?
She must have a self-centered motive and simply must be making these claims to advane her own career.
(That second sentence was written with sarcasm, in case you couldn’t tell.)
In his filing, Ravenel allegsd that Dennis’ attempt to seek primary custody was “for the sole and/or primary purpose” of securing her role on the Bravo program and “progressing her storyline as the ‘rehabilitated mother who regains possession of her minor children.’”
(Dennis lost custody of the kids and entered rehab in 2016 after she failed a drug test. She has since earned back 50/50 custody.)
It’s hard to get much more cynical than that.
Ravenel even says that the producers of Southern Charm encouraged Dennis to seek full custody in order to have “dramatic material for next season.”
No one from the network has responded to this charge just yet.
Ravenel is asking the court to issue a restraint prohibiting Dennis from discussing their litigation on the show, on social media and with the press.
He’s also asking the court to prohibit their kids from being filmed or featured on Southern Charm.
Ravenel is saying all of this just days after a South Carolina judge found probable cause for second-degree assault and battery charges against Ravenel stemming from an incident in 2015.
A nanny who worked for the star has said on legal record that Ravenel “corralled” her into his master bedroom at that time, dropped his pants, blocked the door and “proceeded to rip my clothes off.”
She doesn’t explain how, but the nanny says she managed to extricate herself from the situation before anything further took place.
Ravenel has denied this claim and has said he will not return to Southern Charm for Season 6.

Ariana Grande BLASTS Pete Davidson: This Loser Used Me For Fame!
Hard to believe that it was less than five months ago that Ariana Grande stunned fans by announcing her engagement to Pete Davidson.
Of course, saying the situation didn’t play out the way she expected would be putting it very, very mildly.
Ariana and Pete broke up unexpectedly last month, and from what it seems, the split was far from amicable.
Now, there are many perks to dating a comedian, chief among them, of course, is the fact that your relationship is sure to be filled with laughter.
But there are downsides, as well, particularly the fact that comics tend to mine the more painful aspects of their private lives for material, which means there’s a good chance that a difficult breakup will immediately become joke fodder.
So it’s not terribly surprising that a new promo for the upcoming episode of SNL finds Pete playing the news about his love life for laughs.
Standing alongside hosts Jonah Hill and musical guest Maggie Rogers, Davidson jokingly proposes to Rogers, who promptly shoots him down, an obvious reference to Davidson’s tendency to move very quickly in relationships — particularly when his partner is a well-known singer.
Take a look:
Pretty harmless stuff, if you ask us, and Davidson is clearly poking fun at himself more than he’s skewering Ariana.
Still, Grande was obviously not thrilled to find that her very recent breakup is already being played for laughs, and she made her feelings very clear with a pair of scathing tweets.
“For somebody who claims to hate relevancy [you] sure love clinging to it huh,” Grande wrote.
“Thank [you], next,” she added.
We can’t help but think “fame” would’ve worked better there than “relevancy.”
After all, who hates being relevant?
But we digress.
Needless to say, fans have overwhelmingly sided with Ariana, with the tweets attracting many references to the spillage of tea and state-sanctioned beheadings.
(We assume that’s what’s meant by the phrase “slaaaaaay queen!”)
And as the details of Pete and Ariana’s breakup are hard to come by, it’s impossible for us to say if it was appropriate for Pete to joke about the breakup so soon after the fact.
But we can say that if Ariana is this thin-skinned, it’s a safe bet that her relationship with a famously envelope-pushing comic was likely doomed from the start.
Again, this argument is null and void if it turns out that Pete precipitated the breakup with some sort of monstrous behavior, but if it was just a standard split, then Ari might have to just come to grips with the fact that the snarky sense of humor she previously found so endearing will now serve as a source of mild irritation.
And hey, if she wants to shoot back by claiming that all that talk about “big dick energy” was just her way of compensating for Pete’s micropenis, we’re 100 percent here for it.
