Roofer in Ravenel, SC

Southern Charm alum Thomas Ravenel dragged his ex Kathryn Dennis after her former costars spoke out in support of her at BravoCon.

'The worst person in the world I know is Kathryn Dennis and the total losers who make excuses and applaud her horrific behavior like Craig [Conover] and Shep [Rose] and Austen [Kroll]. Total Losers,' the 61-year-old politician - who recently suffered a punctured lung in a polo accident - wrote in a since-deleted tweet on Tuesday, per Page Six.

After a fan asked Ravenel on X why he 'picked' Dennis to be the mother of two of his children -- the exes share eight-year-old daughter Kensington and six-year-old son St. Julien -- the former reality star replied, 'Damn good question! You got me there!'

When another X follower inquired online, 'So what has set off this tangent? What has KD done this time?', Ravenel answered, 'She was involved in a hit and run at an elementary school crossing. Anymore questions???'

In October, a vehicle registered in the 32-year-old's name was involved in an alleged hit-and-run at Whitesville Elementary School in her native South Carolina.

Ravenel's social media slams came after Conover revealed at BravoCon over the weekend that the cast was 'in touch' with Dennis -- who departed the series after eight seasons in January.

'The door’s always open and I think she’s working on herself and has a lot of work that she has to do before she comes back,' Conover said on the panel.

Rose added, 'We’ve come a long way and you’ve all seen the bumps and bruises and all that stuff and unfortunately, Kathryn stumbles sometimes.

'We do love her because there’s a person right inside of her that we know is a good person.'

In May, it was reported Ravenel temporarily won custody of their two kids after a long custody dispute since their separation in 2016, per The Sun.

Thomas originally filed for sole custody in 2020, with Kathryn temporarily losing custody in 2021.

In 2021, after he was temporarily awarded full custody, his attorney said: 'I can confirm the information released last week that Ms. Dennis currently has weekend, daytime supervised visitation with the parties' minor children and that Mr. Ravenel plans to relocate with the children to Aiken, South Carolina this summer.'

The pair previously shared joint custody of their children, and the arrangement worked well for the exes, according to the Southern Charm star.

Better days: Ravenel and Dennis first began dating in 2013 before splitting up for good in 2016

Departure: Dennis departed the series after eight seasons in January

'We actually have a great coparenting relationship,' she told Us Weekly in November 2019.

'It's good for him, it's good for me. We're moving forward, which is the first time I've said that in a long time and it feels good.'

The positive words struck a contrast to their otherwise ugly custody battle, with Thomas accusing Kathryn of being addicted to prescription medications and marijuana, among other allegations. Dennis denied the accusations.

Ravenel and Dennis first began dating in 2013 before splitting up for good in 2016.

Thomas Ravenel threw daggers at his former “Southern Charm” co-star Leva Bonaparte.

“Just watched the latest update on Southern Charm and can’t believe the most boring person on there is still Leva,” the 61-year-old reality star wrote via Twitter Saturday.

It is unclear what prompted Ravenel to come for the “Southern Hospitality” star, 44, but his rants over the show didn’t end there.

Ravenel also made a remark in the comments about the show’s audience, writing that the “viewership went from 1.5 million to 250 k” after he made his exit.

The controversial former politician appears to still be an avid viewer of the South Carolina-based reality show despite leaving the series over five years ago.

Ravenel’s time on the Bravo show came to an end in 2018 after he pleaded guilty to assault and battery.

His nanny at the time, Dawn Ledwell, filed charges in 2015 after Ravenel forcefully tried to kiss her in his home.

The dad of three admitted to his wrongdoing in court at the time, saying, “Your honor, on the night of the incident, I did attempt to kiss her, and in so doing, I grabbed her arm and that was wrong and I am much appreciative of the opportunity to apologize to her in court today.”

He received a 30-day suspended sentence, a $500 fine and avoided jail time.

Ravenel also underwent a messy custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Kathryn Dennis.

Ravenel — who shares son St. Julien Rembert and daughter Kensington Calhoun with his former co-star — was granted permanent sole custody of their children in May.

In August 2022, Ravenel took to Twitter to slam Bravo after being seemingly displeased over how the network covered the custody battle.

“If I lost all custody of my kids, all the Bravo controlled media would be talking about what a horrible father I am,” the disgraced politician wrote, and quickly deleted, on Twitter at the time.

“Instead, as I have full custody, the narrative is that I’ve bought off the system and Family Court is corrupt.”

He concluded, “I think Bravo is corrupt.”

Ravenel also shares son Jonathan with ex-fiancée Heather Mascoe.

Cameran Eubanks and Thomas Ravenel are among the Southern Charm stars who have stepped away from the Bravo hit over the years.

Eubanks was part of the original cast of Southern Charm, which premiered in 2014. After six seasons, she shocked fans in May 2020 when she announced her departure. That same month, Eubanks shut down claims that she left due to her husband, Jason Wimberly, being unfaithful.

“It has come to my attention that insidious rumors are now spreading and fake articles are being written … some of which pertain to my marriage,” she wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing that leaving Southern Charm was partly to “protect what is sacred” to her and that “some things aren’t worth a big paycheck.”

Eubanks exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022 that she has no plans to come back, explaining, “If I was to ever go back on television, it would have to be something boring that didn’t involve fighting or having to talk about people.”

In May 2018, two women accused the former politician of sexual assault, including his kids’ former nanny. Ravenel, who shares two children with ex Kathryn Dennis, was arrested in September 2018 for the alleged assault, which he denied.

Ravenel pled guilty to third-degree assault and battery in connection to the attack on the nanny. He paid a $500 fine and donated $80,000 to a sexual assault survivors' charity.

After being fired from the show, Ravenel chose to keep a low profile on social media. He welcomed son Jonathan with Heather Mascoe in June 2020.

That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, it’s safe to say my life changed in ways I could never imagine,” she added. “It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so lucky to have had reality cameras there, capturing so many moments that I’ll never forget (and a few, even, that I’d like to).”

The day of her exit announcement, Dennis — who continues to coparent with Ravenel — hinted at a new beginning via Instagram. “In order to rise from its own ashes, a phoenix first must burn. – Octavia Butler,” she captioned a photo of herself holding a drink.

RAVENEL, S.C. (WCSC) - Passionate Ravenel neighbors filled Tuesday evening’s town council meeting to urge councilmembers to vote on a zoning change.

The switch would allow for over 100 houses to be developed in a subdivision on Drayton Street, and residents have countless concerns.

After over an hour of residents voicing their opinions on why they don’t want the zoning change and a few tense outbursts, the council voted to table the vote until their next meeting.

The decision was made after council members saw and heard a presentation from the property owners, and said they need time to digest and become more educated on what the plans are before they can vote. They also decided to have a workshop in the coming weeks to discuss it further.

“I’m excited that they tabled it for now and that they are willing to entertain concerns and make an educated vote,” resident Juliett Collins said. “That’s the best we could have hoped for tonight.”

Resident Roy Smith said while tabling is better than approving the rezoning, he feels the workshop will be unproductive.

“What information are you going to find between now and then?” Roy questioned. “You’ll be no more educated then than you are now because there is no site plan, there is no traffic study, you don’t know what infrastructure you need or what storm drains are going to be there.”

Mayor Stephen Tumbleston recused himself from this matter, as the property owners of the 96 acres of land up for discussion are family to him, but some residents remain concerned.

“We’re fighting an uphill battle anyway and when you throw in big money and political influence those are two hard things to ever stop,” Smith said.

Several residents wore t-shirts Tuesday evening that read “oppose the rezone, our town depends on it.”

“Where we live, we have one home per acre, there’s lots of room to roam and we have great neighbor,” Collins said. “That’s why we chose Ravenel and that’s why think it’s attractive to so many people.”

Tumbleston did not respond to a request for comment, and Mayor Pro Tem Buckey Waters said he did not want to speak on the matter at this time.

The council workshop is scheduled for Feb. 15 at 6 p.m. The public is allowed to attend, but only to listen.

RAVENEL, S.C. (WCSC) - Ravenel residents say they are fed up with the town after the council postponed a workshop that was scheduled for next week.

Up for discussion were the plans property owners recently presented to council members about what would happen to a large piece of land on Drayton Street if a rezoning request is granted.

Residents feel that those asking for this rezoning are getting special treatment because the property is owned by the Tumbleston Trust and the family to Ravenel Mayor Stephen Tumbleston.

When the family came to the council with their plans for the land on Jan. 30, they didn’t have an actual site plan or a traffic study to show, and that’s why the council tabled the vote, saying they didn’t have enough information and scheduled the workshop for Feb. 15 to dig into it further.

On Wednesday, they postponed the workshop at the request of the property owners, who say they will now work to provide the traffic study, site plan, entrance locations, buffers and protected areas.

Residents say council should have denied the rezoning request and told the owners to try again at the appropriate date when they could provide more information.

“It’s wrong,” resident Olivia McCarty said. “It’s clearly a two-tier justice system, no one else would have gotten this type of treatment. You submitted an application that has insufficient information, the town council saw that it was nothing and should have denied it on the spot”

They say they feel like this process is giving free rein to the property owners, while the community has had to follow the rules.

“We were limited to five minutes to speak {at town council}, but the owners got up and took as much time as they wanted which was well over 13 minutes. I asked ‘Sir, are they limited to five minutes?’ and I was shouted down, ‘You’re out of order, you’re out of order,” resident Roy Smith said.

Residents say they don’t have an issue with residential development with the way the land is zoned now but fear the change will be the first step to making the rural town the next West Ashley or Johns Island.

“Next thing they are gonna do is put apartments out here and we’re gonna be pushed further back into the sticks until everything is city, and there’s no room to breathe, there’s no horses and I don’t want to live like that,” resident Corbin Haydel said.

It is unknown if or when the workshop will be rescheduled.

Mayor Tumbleston recused himself from this matter and Mayor Pro Tem Buckey Waters says he will speak when he feels it’s appropriate to do so. Councilmembers LaJuanda Brown, Jim Rodgers Jr. and Terry Wilkinson have not responded to a request for comment.
