Thomas Ravenel: EXPOSED on Video Taking ‘Shrooms!

Last month, Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel wrapped up their custody war with more or less of a draw. That may change, however, and not just because of Thomas’ guilty plea to assault and battery. Kathryn has new evidence that the court may want to consider, starting with a video of Thomas doing drugs. According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail , Thomas Ravenel may be in hot water with Charleston family court. In a new video submitted to the court, he appears to be taking hallucinogenic mushrooms at a party. “I’ve never tried this in my life,” Thomas says in the reported video. He takes out a baggie, filled with what are implied to be psychotropic fungi. “Just one,” he then says. “Just one.” “You’re gonna do that right now?” a woman’s incredulous voice can be heard saying. “Thomas, no!” the wise voice admonishes. “No, you’re, like, gonna geek out right now!” If one were to partake in hallucinogens, particularly those they have never taken before, they would want to do so with a sober babysitter to make sure that they do not have a bad reaction. Experimenting with drugs in a crowd can be … dangerous. Even if you don’t have a health crisis, you might strip off your clothes or soil yourself. “I wouldn’t want to do it,” the woman advises him. “I don’t want to hallucinate.” As someone who once had an allergic reaction that plagued him with days of hallucinations, I’d have to agree. Thomas, however, sounded indifferent over the potential use of the alleged substance during the video. “It’s just mushrooms,” he tells the woman dismissively. Interestingly, this is not the first time that Thomas and “magic mushrooms” have come up recently. In an affidavit, Thomas was accused of having advised a friend that said fungus, despite its properties, will not show up in urine tests. Kathryn was clearly concerned that Thomas might find ways to bypass court-ordered urine tests designed to keep Kensie and Saint safe. Kathryn’s affidavit also accused Thomas of having sent her a video in which he calls his child by the wrong name and slurs his words. The implication is that he must have been under the influence, in defiance of court orders. “The time that we had a pool party,” Kathryn recalls of their personal history. “And,” she narrates. “Thomas was so drunk while holding Kensie that he fell into the pool with her as a baby.” Kathryn continues: “and I had to jump in to grab Kensie:” She also cites “the Christmas where Thomas flew into a range [sic] and threw the Christmas tree that I had decorated across the room.”  “The time he put my fake fur coat in a tub full of water…” Kathryn recalls. She makes reference to “the time he threw a lamp at me and glass shattered everywhere;” “And,” Kathryn’s written recollection mentions. “The time he threw an astray [sic] in my face.” These are horrifying accusations, and it seems that Kathryn wishes to connect Thomas’ alleged drug use with his abhorrent behavior. There is another disgusting incident mentioned in court documents. “And the time …when he masturbated on my back while I was asleep,” Kathryn writes. She says that he did this “because he was mad at me for rejecting his advances for sex (because I was exhausted and pregnant).” “I also discovered that he had been watching muscleman porn that night,” she concludes. For the record, I don’t know exactly what muscleman porn is even after looking it up (yes, I put that in my search history; I’m so brave). The important part of that accusation is ejaculating upon someone without her consent in order to feel in control and powerful. Kathryn is concerned that Thomas is up to his old tricks and violating the custody terms. Will the court agree? View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!

Thomas Ravenel Pleads GUILTY to Assault and Battery

Disgraced Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel finished his custody battle with Kathryn Dennis in something of a stalemate. But that doesn’t mean that he’s out of the woods when it comes to the very serious accusations of sexual assault. This week, Ravenel reported back to court — and entered his guilty plea. On Wednesday, September 11, Thomas Ravenel appeared in a Charleston courtroom. There, he entered a guilty plea to the charges of third degree assault and battery. His sentence? 30 days in prison. Additionally, the judge suspended the jail time, changing it instead to require the wealthy socialite to pay a fine … of $500. Ravenel has an estimated net worth of $6 million. Keeping in mind that he is accused of raping his children’s nanny, that is … not the outcome that many of his detractors had hoped to see. There was, at least, an allecution. “On the night of the incident, I did attempt to kiss her,” Ravenel admitted in court. “And in doing so,” he confessed. “I grabbed her arm and that was wrong.” Ravenel concluded: “And I am much appreciative of the opportunity to apologize to her in court today.” Dawn Ledwell, his accuser and his children’s former nanny, was not present in court to see him skate by with a modest fine. Ravenel’s story of an attempted unwanted kiss certainly qualifies as assault. But it’s a very different story than the one that Ledwell mustered the courage to share. She describes the 2015 incident as him having removed his clothing, cornering her, and forcibly place her hand against his genitals. She accuses him of having places his hand against her groin in turn. Ledwell sustained injuries to her neck and breasts during the assault, apparently caused by what was done to her clothing. Ledwell explained that she did not cry out or fight back during the alleged sexual assault because one of the young children was sleeping nearby. As awful as what was happening to her was, she was more afraid of the young child seeing it and being traumatized. One year ago, in September of 2018, Ravenel was arrested for assault and battery in the second degree. It seems that prosecutors were already uncertain of how much of what happened to Ledwell they could prove in our court system. Clearly, even less than they thought, as the disgraced former politician was able to reduce the case to giving an unwanted kiss and then pay what amounts to a parking ticket. Ledwell is also not the only woman to accuse Ravenel of sexual assault. After a Tinder date with one woman, he allegedly changed demeanor dramatically and alarmingly and sexually assaulted her. That woman is bound by an agreement to not speak of it. Her daughter was involved in the proceedings but is not beholden to an NDA, and it was she who shared the story with the world. It has been strongly suggested that Ravenel may have had other, unidentified alleged victims sign NDAs in the past. But for now, that is speculation, and Ravenel remains a free man. A free, awful man. View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!

Kathryn Dennis Explains Extreme Spending: I Was Irrational!!

Even though Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis boned Whitney Sudler-Smith again , they’re not dating, yet alone married. Her castmates are struggling to understand why she’s spending money like she’ll one day inherit from Patricia Altschul. In a new interview, Kathryn is explaining her reckless spending. Season 6 of Southern Charm has brought a lot of joy to viewers … and a lot of criticisms about Kathryn’s current lifestyle. The wise Cameran Eubanks openly suggested that Kathryn is burning money by renting her house for $6,000 a month. (We know that home ownership comes with hidden costs, but it can’t be as bad as what Kathryn’s shelling out) The striking Naomie Olindo took aim at Kathryn’s needlessly fancy car — a Rolls Royce, calling it “foolish.” She also pointed out that the public perception of Kathryn living such an opulent lifestyle is “not great.” Optics matter, folks. In a new interview with Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast, Kathryn makes it clear that she’s well aware of what her friends have said about her. “I will say that they were coming from a good place,” Kathryn quickly acknowledges of the criticism. She suggests that “That conversation got misconstrued and polarized.” “The spending habits,” Kathryn says. “They know nothing about my spending habits, quite frankly.” Seeing a girl driving around in a Rolls Royce tells you enough, though, right? Despite her insistence that her castmates don’t know as much about her business as they think, Kathryn changes her tune. “In retrospect,” she begins. “After a few more things happened.” Well, that’s vague as heck. “I realized whether or not they know what place they were coming from,” Kathryn admits. “I was making irrational, irresponsible decisions regarding money, etc.;” Better late than never, huh? “However,” she notes. “I caught myself soon enough.” “My entire life has been basically making a mistake and learning afterward,” Kathryn points out. That’s true for everyone, whether we admit it or not. That’s how people learn and grow. “But luckily,” she says. “I have good friends.” Kathryn clearly appreciates her friends “who try and help guide me in the right direction.” Is that her version of a thank you? “I’m very hard-headed,” Kathryn freely admits. Deeply relatable. “So,” Kathryn confesses. “I still kind of will do what I’m going to do.” “But,” she notes. “Life is a perpetual learning experience.” It certainly is! “And,” Kathryn concludes. “I’m trying my best.” Kathryn Dennis is absolutely right about how everyone is learning and growing from their experiences — including their mistakes. That said, she is a mother of two. While her worst mistakes (Thomas Ravenel) are in her past, she does need to make sure that she’s making the best possible decisions for her chidlren’s future. We know that she has endorsement deals, a furniture line, and a reality career. But while she’s doing well for herself as a 26-year-old, she doesn’t have the kind of wealth that justifies dropping 6 figures on a car. Fortunately, she is (now) acting like she knows that.

Kathryn Dennis, Thomas Ravenel Reunite For This Sweet Reason

Southern Charm has just returned for its sixth season, minus one disgraced former star.  Thomas Ravenel is engaged in a heated custody battle over his two children with Kathryn Dennis, who wants full custody before it’s too late .  But they both managed to grin and bear it to pose as a family for their daughter Kensie’s latest milestone.   On Thursday evening Kathryn Dennis uploaded this striking family reunion photo to her Instagram. The gang was all smiles as they posed together to comemorate daughter Kensie’s preschool graduation. Kensie is growing up so fast, right before our eyes. And she looks so precious holding her little bouquet.    She and her younger brother Saint both appear happy, blissfully unaware of the animousity we’ve seen from their parents’ custody war. Even Kathryn and Thomas seem to be forcing a grin as they pose together for the first time in nearly a year. In the same post, Kathryn shared another picture of Kensie sporting her over-the-top graduation regalia. In this photo, there’s nothing fake or forced about Kathryn’s proud smile. You can see the love and admiration she holds for Kensie. It’s clear that the mother and daughter share a special bond, and that the day will be a treasured memory for both girls. Kensie looks proud of herself too. At just five years old, this ceremony is a huge deal for her. Kathryn included a sweet caption to go along with the cute family moments “Our little graduate! Can’t believe she is going to be a kindergartner,” Kathryn captioned. She also included a crying face emoji, to illustrate what an emotional day this was for her. She concluded with “#adulting,” displaying a bit of her humor, and reminding us that parenting as a milennial is a surreal experience. But make no mistake, the 27-year-old is deeply committed to her role as a mother. Kathryn’s intense maternal love for her children is why she’s deicded to fight so hard for their best interest in this custody battle. Their contentious court battle explains why full family photo ops like these are so rare for this modern family these days. In fact, the last time Kathryn shared anything about Thomas on Instagram, they were both neck deep in Ashley Jacobs drama. Last Autumn, Kathryn filed to amend their custody agreement. Katherine wants full physical and legal custody of both her young children. As you can imagine, Thomas is hardly satisfied with this development, and he’s fighting back. But it may be an uphill battle.  Last year multiple women came forward with sexual assault allegations against Ravenel. One of those allegations, cast by former nanny Dawn Ledwell, led to Thomas’s arrest by Charleston police. The court has also heard sworn testimony from Ledwell about Thomas’ alarming behavior toward Kathryn, including toppling bookshelves in a a fit of rage. At one point he reportedly threw cigarette butts and ashes onto Kathryn while she was sleeping. Katherine had to know that this was her best to chance to push for family court to see things her way.  View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar! Both parents have accused the other of being unfit for custody, and both have asserted that the other suffers from a substance abuse problem. But all of this ugliness has played out in legal filings and coutroom arguments. In front of Kensie and Saint, however, the two have stuck to playing nice. That’s how you get heartwarming family photos like the ones Kathryn shared Thursday.

Kathryn Dennis, Thomas Ravenel Reunite For This Sweet Reason

Kathryn Dennis: Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Pill-Popper!

Disgraced Southern Charm alum Thomas Ravenel claims Kathryn’s mental illness prevents her from being a good mother . This custody battle is downright nasty. Now, Kathryn is firing back, and saying that Thomas has a love for drugs and a psychiatric diagnosis of his own. … Nobody is pulling their punches in this vicious, vicious custody battle. According to documents obtained by The Blast , Kathryn Dennis has filed documents of her own in retaliation for Thomas’ accusations. In legal papers, Kathryn insists that Thomas “identify every prescription drug and/or illegal drug that you have used during the past 6 years.” “For each prescription drug,” the papers request. “Please identify the doctor who prescribed the drug.” And she also demands to know “where you purchased your prescription drugs.” After all, plenty of people find illegal ways to obtain drugs that are perfectly legal. In 2016, Kathryn lost custody of her children after testing positive for marijuana, which is still criminalized in South Carolina. She regained partial custody of Kensie and Saint in early 2018. She and Thomas currently share a 50/50 split. She wants full custody. Now, in court documents, Kathryn alleges that Thomas threw a party in which illegal drugs were present. “What date was it when you threw a party in your home downtown with illegal drugs present,” Kathryn asks. “And,” the papers detail. “You informed fellow party participants while standing in the bathroom that mushrooms don’t show up on drug screens?” Her implication with that question is that she probably has witnesses. Kathryn’s incident with marijuana was three years ago, but she’s not the only one whose personal history includes drugs. Thomas Ravenel once completed a 30-day rehab program. More significantly, he served 10 months in federal prison — which also killed his political career. This was after his June 2007 indictment ona  charge of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. The drug in question was some volume of cocaine that was less than 500 grams. Kathryn asks Thomas to produce “any and all evidence (whether photos, statements, videos, documents, etc.)” that she ”‘abuses prescription drugs.’” As we have previously reported, Thomas accused Kathryn of actively abusing illegal substances. He even claims that she makes a habit of buying, selling, and trading prescription medications. Thomas’ allegations say that Kathryn does this with friends, her Southern Charm castmates, and even producers on the show. Most seriously, he claims that Kathryn has been under the heavy influence of drugs while being the sole caregiver of her young children. Thomas has also alleged that there are vague “problems” with their children and that Kathryn is to blame. He says that Kathryn abused substances while pregnant, causing problems for Saint, and didn’t properly bond with Kensie, giving her behavior issues. “His eustachian tubes weren’t draining, so he had his adenoids out and needed tubes in his ears,” a source explained to People . The insider characterized that this was “like lots of little kids his age who have that same problem.” Kathryn wants to see “any evaluations of your son that have been performed by a medical doctor as to his abilities.” Finally, Kathryn turns the tables on Thomas, who accuses her of a litany of psychiatric disorders. “Have you ever been evaluated for a potential diagnosis of bipolar disorder or any other mental health issue, diagnosis or illness?” she asks. Kathryn demands “copies of all your medical, psychological, counseling or other related records” from January 1, 2008 to the present day.  She also wants “a comprehensive print-out of all prescription drug purchases made by you” from January 1, 2014 to to the present day. Kathryn requests “all medical and/or counseling records that you have obtained that relate to” her and the accusations he made against her. She also wants “all rehabilitation records that you have obtained related to” her. She demands “all drug/alcohol test results/reports that you have in your possession that you have had Kathryn Dennis take and/or which you have taken.” In other words, does he have evidence to back up his accusations? Kathryn then suggests that Thomas has been making use of a private detective. She wants “copies of any private detective reports, notes, emails, correspondence, videos, pictures, GPS logs, billing statements.” These should be logs “showing the time & date of surveillance and billing rate,” court documents say. “And/or any related documents obtained by your private detective,” Kathryn asks. “Which have been retained by you or your counsel.” Private detectives are not attorneys, doctors, or religious figures. Their records can be subpoenaed. Finally, Kathryn gets to the most serious and downright scary accusations against Thomas. She’s not the one making these. Kathryn asks that Thomas “identify each and every woman who has accused you of either assaulting her and/or sexually assaulting her.” Thomas is instructed to “produce all text messages, email messages and/or other communications that you have sent to or received” from a number of women. Kathryn identifies the women in the documents, and wants record of their conversations “since January 1, 2016.” She wants “a copy of your complete file and any related documents regarding the sexual assault allegations made by” Nanny Dawn. Kathryn also demands records of “any other women who have made allegations of inappropriate conduct by you.” She asks for copies of “any and all settlement agreements that you reached and payments that you have made.” We have already heard of one woman whom Thomas allegedly paid to keep quiet. Kathryn wants to know how many more there are. Finally, Kathryn wants to know if Thomas has “had any discussions” with or “about marriage and/or plans to marry Ashley Jacobs.” That’s a hell of a question. Obviously, some of this is typical custody warfare. Allegations and insinuations about drugs and mental illness are largely unfair on both sides. The stuff about sexual assault, however, is absolutely chilling. View Slideshow: Southern Charm Season 6: Everything We Know About the Return of Reality TV’s Most Scandalous Show!

Kathryn Dennis Shocks Fans: I’m Banging My BFF!

Fans are thanking their lucky stars that Southern Charm wasn’t canceled after Thomas Ravenel’s sexual assault accusations, arrest, and lawsuit. But with the departure of the disgraced former star, what storylines can they look forward to seeing next season? Well, for one thing, Kathryn Dennis has announced that she’s dating Danni Baird. Southern Charm star Kathryn Dennis and long-time bestie Danni Baird have been enjoying the winter weather in the Colorado mountains. “Out of our element,” Kathryn admitted in a selfie of the two of them. “On various levels.” Charleston, South Carolina is part of a humid subtropical climate zone. The weather is very different in the Rocky Mountain winter. But it was some of Kathryn’s other posts that really caught the attention of fans. In another photo with Danni, Kathryn writes: “we’re in a serious relationship.” Oh?! Kathryn was not the only one raving about her significant other on social media. “My hot date dressed me,” Danni wrote in the captions of a photo of her own. In the pic, she and Kathryn are both wearing dresses and standing side-by-side. “We would literally be glowing in the dark if it weren’t for @glowboss.co,” Danni added, throwing in what appears to be an untagged product endorsement. Bravo was quick to jump on the story, with it’s Daily Dish blog excitedly talking about the pair’s relationship and years of friendship. So … are they dating for real? RadarOnline reports that Kathryn and Danni are very good friends — but are not romantically involved. “With Thomas getting fired and all the sex scandals hitting the show,” the insider begins to explain. The source continues: “The producers and the network are desperate to drum up publicity for Southern Charm .” “Everyone loves Kathryn,” the insider notes. “And so they’re trying to use anything she does in order to get people interested in the show.” “But she and Danni are friends and they support each other,” the source clarifies. “They’re not romantically involved or dating.” At this risk of foisting labels onto these women, this is more or less the equivalent of two straight girls “getting married” on Facebook because they’re besties. That doesn’t happen so much anymore, because of marriage equality and because Facebook is mostly where old people go to be angry these days. Kathryn and Danni are close friends — which we agree is a very serious relationship. And someone being your “hot date” isn’t necessarily romantic — there are plenty of platonic “date nights” in this world. Some might accuse Bravo of what’s known as queerbaiting in an effort to attract a larger LGBTQ+ audience with false promises. But we think that anyone honestly looking at these posts isn’t going to be misled for long. In real life, Danni ended her engagement to Todd Baldree in 2017. Kathryn, who is truly living her best life these days, boned costar Shep Rose a number of times, but they’re keeping that very casual. A lot of fans would be thrilled to see Kathryn and Danni together, since they would be so non-toxic and supportive. But there’s a difference between wishful thinking and reality. Let’s just let them be friends — albeit friends who make jokes about their bond, okay?

Ashley Jacobs to Thomas Ravenel: This S–t Is Why We Broke Up!

Southern Charm fans were alarmed to see Thomas Ravenel slam Ashley Jacobs on Instagram. When a concerned fan asked Ashley what it’s all about, she responded as delicately as possible. Meanwhile, Thomas is looking at a lawsuit from Nanny Dawn on top of his upcoming criminal trial. “Why is Thomas all of [the] sudden turning on you?” a fan asked Ashley. “He filled your head with so much hate,” the fan points out. “But yet now he’s saying it’s all you.” “I would get as far as you can from that man,” the fan suggests. The fan explains: “He has proven time and time again that he is a narcissist and disgusting human being.” True enough. “Thomas and I aren’t together,” Ashley confirms in her reply. Curiously, she then adds: “I wish him the best though.” It’s always a relief to see confirmation that Ashley is done with Thomas. We hope that, this time, it is permanent. The fan’s question came as a response to Thomas’ now-deleted Instagram in which he totally disavowed Ashley. “Ashley Jacobd [sic] has been bad mouthing the mother of my children,” Thomas wrote. Thomas continued: “I totally disavow this horrendous behavior and will have nothing to do with her.” His November 11 post concluded: “I begged her over and over to no avail. So hateful. Hope she gets help.” That’s a hell of a statement to make about your ex, especially when you yourself were recently arrested over sexual assault allegations. In better news, Nanny Dawn is preparing to sue the bajeezus out of Thomas Ravenel. The civil suit, first reported by Fit News just a few days ago, follows the disgraced reality star’s arrest. Though sources are unclear on a number of details, the former nanny is said to be preparing to serve Thomas with the lawsuit “within the month.” The civil suit’s details may still be unknown, but it is very likely a lawsuit relating to her allegations that he sexually assaulted her. The suit may also touch upon the fact that she was fired and replaced a short time later. Ashley’s statement that she wishes Thomas the best, after everything, is perplexing at first. After all, not only is the man an accused rapist, he was notably unkind to Ashley. Southern Charm viewers and castmates saw him bait Ashley with unflattering comparisons to his ex, Kathryn Dennis. Thomas was also spotted throwing leftover food at Ashley, for which she blamed herself on the reunion special. But we have a guess as to why Ashley is so insistent that she harbors no ill will towards her ex. Maybe she just wants to feel at peace, and wants to avoid any feuding or conflict. Of course, if it’s peace that Ashley wants, one wonders why she decided to call out Kathryn Dennis. Recently, Ashley claimed that Kathryn is faking her sobriety as part of a stunt that Bravo paid for. At that same time, Ashley suggested that Kathryn has never been sober, that even her stint in rehab was a reality television ploy. We of course cannot speak to Kathryn’s sobriety, but we haven’t heard this accusation from anyone but Ashley. Also, Ashley and Kathryn’s explosive fights from the last season of Southern Charm don’t do wonders for Ashley’s credibility. Perhaps, with time, Ashley will manage the chill attitude towards Kathryn that she seems to have towards her ex. But let’s focus on the positives. It’s great that Ashley and Thomas are done, and we hope that it stays that way (this time). And Thomas is looking at fighting three court battles. One will be at his upcoming trial for sexual battery . One will be in civil court as Nanny Dawn sues him over the same incident. And another is his ongoing custody battle with baby mama Kathryn Dennis over their two preschool-aged children, Kensie and Saint.

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.

90 Day Fiance: Colt and Larissa Fight Leads to Domestic Battery Arrest

Over the weekend, 90 Day Fiance star Larissa Dos Santos Lima was arrested for domestic battery against her husband, Colt. After Larissa's panicked messages to fans, sent while locked in her bathroom, many expected that it would be Colt who was arrested. Now that we've heard both sides of the story, we understand a little more of how this arrest went down, and what led to it. Also, this is not Larissa's first arrest in the last five months. It sounds pretty toxic, folks. And parts of this sound a little terrifying. Beware that there are, obviously, some 90 Day Fiance spoilers here. 1. Colt and Larissa Had a Huge Fight We have both sides of their argument 2. Larissa locked herself in a bathroom She issued what looked like a frantic plea to her followers, saying that Colt had taken her phone and encouraging them to message him to reconnect her. 3. She also seemed afraid that he would call the police When the police arrived, it was Larissa who was arrested, not Colt 4. it started with Larissa being upset Apparently, Colt (probably to avoid spoiling 90 Day Fiance) asked her to not interact with him on social media, which she took personally, and went on an Instagram rant about how it was selfish and hurtful. 5. Colt came home with flowers This apparently did not have the intended effect upon Larissa, which she says that Colt took poorly 6. Larissa accuses Colt Larissa showed her followers video of a mess that Colt allegedly made while angry. That is definitely not good. View Slideshow
