Kathryn Dennis Shares Cryptic Comment After Thomas Ravenel Arrest

On Tuesday, disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel was arrested for assault and battery . His ex and baby mama Kathryn Dennis managed to avoid direclty addressing the accusations of sexual assault against him. But just hours after Thomas’ arrest, she posted a cryptic message to social media. Kathryn Dennis posted a photo to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon — just a matter of hours after Thomas’ arrest. The photo doesn’t show her or Thomas, but their two young children, Kensie and Saint. Kathryn’s caption was simple and succinct. “Everything in life to me,” she writes. It’s a great photo — but the quote sends a pretty clear message. As you may recall, when multiple women accused Thomas Ravenel of rape , everyone wanted to hear Kathryn’s thoughts. Kathryn’s public reaction was a thoughtful line, carefully measured in light of her priorities. “I’m not going to comment until I guess it’s resolved I think,” Kathryn said. “What I am going to focus on is just the children and staying out of it.” She didn’t accuse the women of lying or really say anything one way or the other. Instead, she made it clear ther her foremost priority is her children. The fact of the matter is that Thomas is their father. One day, they’ll google the truth about him — and Kathryn doesn’t want them to see her quotes when they do. Kathryn’s reaction this time may be similar, but Thomas’ situation is a little different. The sexual assault allegations were that he attacked Nanny Dawn who tended to his children and that he attacked another woman after a date. This time, it’s not a #MeToo story — it’s an arrest. The charges aren’t for sexual assault, but for assault and battery. A lot of the circumstances of the arrest and the charges remain a mystery, but it seems very likely that most if not all of those details will come to light. Perhaps then, Kathryn will find a delicate way to more directly speak about the father of her children. The sexual assault allegations are worrying, and included accusations that he became intoxicated and seemed to have become a different person. Another woman came forward after the accusations came to light and shared that she had witnessed Thomas seem to transform after a date, saying that it frightened her. Even his co-stars and “friends” on Southern Charm have been very direct about how Thomas has what they perceive to be a dark side to his personality. When it was said that Thomas was spotted throwing leftover food at his then-girlfriend Ashley Jacobs, Ashley blamed herself, but the stars — even those who did not particularly like her — were quick to say that she was not at fault. While we wouldn’t care to speculate on who the victim of Thomas’ alleged battery may have been, we know that a lot of viewers may find it easy to believe these charges after all that they’ve heard. A number of fans have really come around on Kathryn’s behavior, and even come to blame Thomas for some of her over-the-top reactions in earlier seasons. Kathryn is, after all, much younger than Thomas. And some have pointed out that Thomas appeared to be “doing the same things” to Ashley Jacobs. In general, that just means scolding someone or verbally putting them down and shaming them for little things that don’t matter. Thomas has already shared that he will not return to Southern Charm , and it sounds like that is for the best — whatever comes of this arrest.

Bill Cosby Begs Wife: Get Me Out of Prison Before I Die In Here!

As you’ve likely heard by now, Bill Cosby was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison yesterday after being convicted of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. The disgraced comedy legend was handcuffed and taken into custody shortly after the judge delivered his sentence. It’s been less than 24 hours since he was imprisoned, but already, Cosby’s booking photo has become a viral sensation, and reports about his first day behind bars are being gleefully shared on every social media platform. (A report from TMZ that Cosby’s first meal will include Jell-O has proven particularly popular.) Naturally, Cosby took advantage of his first opportunity to place a phone call, and insiders confirm that he contacted his wife of 54 years, Camille Cosby. Now, a new report Radar Online claims that Cosby spent most of his time on the phone imploring Camille to do everything in her power to get him out of jail.   “They took my cane, tie and shoelaces because they think I will harm myself,” Cosby reportedly told his wife . A witness who listened in on the call, says Cosby complained about the conditions and led his wife to believe he was in immediate physical danger: “He said he had a stale hotdog bun thrown at him and he fell down a few steps because he wasn’t being guided,” the source recalls. “He told Camille, ‘Grab the checkbook and hire anyone and everyone’ who could get him out as soon as possible.” Obviously, as a lifelong serial rapist, Cosby is deserving of absolutely zero sympathy. But if the idea of a mostly-blind 81-year-old grandfather living out what might be his final years in state prison strikes you as tragically pathetic, fear not. Life is easier for rich people everywhere — including prison. Cosby will likely serve his sentence in a relatively cushy facility for “low risk” inmates, and a team of lawyers will descend on the place every time a guard so much as looks at him askance. Fortunately, his treasured “legacy” has been thoroughly decimated, and Cosby’s many victims can hopefully rest easier knowing justice has somewhat been served. And with any luck, Camille Cosby will soon see the value in being free of her monstrous husband. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: What Led to His Arrest

Exclusive: Bobby Shmurda Gets More Time To Mull Prison Shank Deal Due To THIS Bizarre Reason

Troubled Rapper Accused Of Possessing Jail House Shiv Bobby Shmurda will get a few more weeks to think over whether he should take a deal in his prison knife and perjury case – but it’s not what you think. The “Hot N***a” rapper was in Bronx Criminal Court this week for a “decision” hearing on his prison shank and perjury case. Prosecutors offered him a deal of 1.5 to four years, to run concurrently with his current seven-year sentence for gang conspiracy and weapons possession. But Shmurda’s lawyer, Paul London, called the court that morning and said he had a bad case of the flu, and asked for the hearing to be postponed so he could recover. “Mr. London called this morning,” the judge said. “He’s got the flu and is requesting a two-week adjournment.” The Bronx District Attorney’s Office accused Shmurda’s gal pal of trying to pass him a “sharpened metal object” while in the visiting area of Riker’s Island in 2015 – and then lying about the incident to the Grand Jury. The gal pal, Kimberly Russeau, has already pled guilty to promoting prison contraband. Shmurda, dressed in khakis, and button-down crisp white shirt and flanked by two court officers, said “aight,” after the judge informed him of his lawyer’s illness. The Brooklyn artist is due back in court next month, where he’ll reveal whether or not he’ll take the deal.

A Woman’s Worth: Patient Awarded Only $142,000 After Hospital Wrongly Removes Her Uterus

Really?!? Woman Only Awarded $142,000 After Hospital Wrongly Removes Uterus A New York woman who was given a hysterectomy without her knowledge during a hospital stay is rightfully upset at only receiving $142,000 in compensation. via NY Daily News A jury added insult to injury Wednesday, handing down a “shockingly low” verdict in a lawsuit brought by a NYU dance instructor who said she was unknowingly bullied into a hysterectomy that she didn’t want or need. The Manhattan Supreme Court jury awarded Jill Jacobs just $142,000 in damages — even after the judge in the unusual case found NYU Langone Medical Center guilty of malpractice, making the trial strictly about the amount of compensation Jacobs deserved. Jacobs — who is a teacher at Greenwich Village’s Steinhardt School — sued the hospital for $5 million in 2010, claiming that surgeon Bhavana Pothuri was wrong to perform the hysterectomy during an unrelated operation in 2009 to remove a fibroid from her uterus. “I’m shocked,” an ashen Jacobs, 54, said Wednesday as she put her hand to her throat and tried to hold back tears. “It’s a very, very long road to bring your case to trial. You do it because what’s done was wrong.” Jacobs claimed her “butchering” at the hospital sent her into a tailspin of depression, ruining her self-image and reviving horrific memories of being kidnapped and raped at age 20. Hopefully this young woman will file an appeal and keep pushing this case forward because this is ridiculous! Do you think she was fairly compensated?

WNBA Jawn Is A Real Ball Breaker… Restraining Order Filed Against Hoop Star Following Ex-Boyfriend’s “Growing” Injury

WNBA rookie Jantel Lavender is in hot water for hitting her ex-man where it really hurts. According to TMZ reports : L.A. Sparks rookie Jantel Lavender — the #5 overall pick in the 2011 WNBA Draft — allegedly kneed her ex-BF in the junk so hard, his groin area was “throbbing from the pain” … this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ. According to court papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Lavender’s ex Adam Ashley obtained a temporary restraining order against the 6’4″ athlete two weeks ago … claiming he’s been “in hiding” ever since a July 5 altercation where Lavender allegedly grabbed a knife and threatened to kill him. In the docs, Ashley also says Lavender “grabbed my head and slammed it into the wall. She grabbed my neck and was choking me.” Ashley claims it wasn’t the first time Lavender got violent with him — alleging she also tried to choke him during a fight in June. During that altercation, Ashley claims, “While I was grabbing for her hands she kneed me in the growing [SIC] area. My private area was throbbing from the pain.” Jantel has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Ashley until the next court hearing. After the judge granted the restraining order against Jantel — she filed a request for a restraining order of her own against Adam … claiming he attempted to punch her during a recent screaming match at her home. The two are set to meet in court on August 30. They do say there is a thin line between love and hate. But we’re curious what exactly Adam did to incur Jantel’s wrath… after all, we hear there’s an even thinner line between infidelity and a lifetime of impotence. Just Sayin’.

DMX’s Jail Time Extended Over Alleged Drug Violation

Rapper will remain in Arizona state prison for at least another week. By Gil Kaufman DMX Photo: Larry Busacca/ Getty Images It sounds like rapper DMX will have to wait at least another week to get his latest attempt at a career reboot off the ground. According to TMZ , the MC (born Earl Simmons) was ordered to stay in prison for another week after authorities allegedly caught him with drugs. X, 40, has been housed at a state prison in Yuma, Arizona, since January, and according to the gossip site, he has broken a number of rules over the past month, including drug possession, failing or refusing a drug test, smoking in an unauthorized area, acting disrespectfully to the staff and engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct. Of the seven alleged disciplinary infractions since January, four have come since June 12, with two more in April for alleged drug possession and disorderly conduct, and another in January for unauthorized smoking. Due to his latest infractions, the troubled rapper — who had been slated to be released Wednesday — will spend at least another week in prison, according to the Associated Press . His new release date is July 19. He was sent back to prison in December for a probation violation after an arrest in November for failing to check in with his probation officer. Around December 20, X was reportedly transferred to a mental-health unit after the judge in his case described him as having an “undiagnosed mental condition,” before ordering him back to prison for one year. DMX’s manager did not return requests for comment by press time. Related Artists DMX

Casey Anthony Deemed Competent to Stand Trial

The Casey Anthony trial resumed this morning after a judge ruled that the 25-year-old accused murderer from Orlando is competent to stand trial. The trial was abruptly put on hold over the weekend after the judge said a “legal matter” had come up. That matter was Anthony’s mental state. Defense lawyers filed a motion to determine her competency to proceed, and after three psychologists found her competent , the trial goes on. Casey, who is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, in 2008, has pleaded not guilty. She faces the death penalty if convicted. Prosecutors allege Anthony killed her daughter by using chloroform and suffocating her with duct tape, then leaving her lifeless body in the woods. Casey Anthony’s defense hinges on the theory that Caylee accidentally drowned, that Anthony and her father, George, covered up the accident. George’s prior sexual abuse of Casey when she was a child factored into this poor judgment, her lawyers have posited, to much controversy. Caylee’s remains were found in December 2008, almost six months after she was reported missing, in a wooded area not far from her home. On Friday, Casey’s attorneys showed jurors photos of Caylee climbing a ladder into a pool as her grandmother, Cindy Anthony , supported her. Cindy testified that Caylee could’ve climbed into the pool herself , and also said that she, not Casey, searched for several suspicious terms online.

Judge to Audrina Stalker: Get a Shrink!

Zachary Loring is not a fellow you would term, say, normal. A judge pretty much told Audrina Patridge’s stalker as much. Amazingly, you go off on one profanity-laced tirade in open court and you end up a prime candidate for a psychiatric evaluation. Who knew? Well, besides DMX? That’s precisely what happened to the dude harassing Audrina Patridge after his judge-directed verbal lambasting resulted in a suspension of his criminal case. Zachary Loring is stalking this. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] Zachary Loring, who’s been loitering at the home of Audrina multiple times, tried to enter a guilty plea to one count of felony stalking The Hills star. He tried . His attorney then objected, and after the judge sided with the lawyer and refused to accept the plea, Loring absolutely erupted, tearing the judge a new one. Always prudent. He also went off on a judge last month too. Immediately after the flare-up, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William Ryan suspended the hearing, ordered Loring to undergo no less than two evaluations. He was then returned to police custody, where he is being held on $150,000 bail. A competency hearing is set for April 13. We wouldn’t bet on him passing.
