Disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel will stand trial for sexual assault , and he is also being sued for the same incident. His baby mama and ex, Kathryn Dennis, is making the best of Christmas for their two very young children. She even shared a series of sweet Christmas photos. See them for yourself: “Real life,” Kathryn Dennis captioned this short series of pictures. In the pictures, she poses alongside her very young children. Her daughter, Kensington Calhoun Ravenel, is four years old. Her son, Saint Julien Rembert Ravenel, is is only two. As you can see, both are decked out in festive attire for the occassion. Kathryn also put the photos into context and sent a message with her tags. “#Christmasfamilyphoto,” Kathryn writes. “#reality.” She is a star of reality television, but Kathryn places herself among a growing number of reality stars who use social media to share this message: Reality television is not real life. Not for the first time, Kathryn is reminding her fans and followers that what they see on camera is just that. It’s entertainment. Her real life — her reality — revolves around her two precious children. Of course, there are other, less pleasant parts of Kathryn’s life these days. She is engaged in a court battle for primary custody of Kensie and Saint. According to Kathryn’s court filings, Thomas goes through “periods of impulsive and uncontrollable bouts of anger.” That is something that matches up with what multiple people, including his own friends and former castmates, have said. Kathryn’s court documents say that Thomas struggles with “extreme narcissism and anger management problems.” Per the court accusation, she also accuses him of relying “upon the use of full-time nannies.” And that is not the end of it. Court documents allege that Thomas “has drunk alcohol to excess, mixed with prescription drugs, that has caused him to be impaired.” Partying on your own time is fine, but she says that Thomas has done this “during periods of time in which he had custody of the children.” That might be mitigated if he is relying upon full-time nannies, but ti’s not exactly encouraging. Combined with everything else, including the two accusations of sexual assault, and it doesn’t paint a pretty picture of Thomas as a man or as a father. Thomas, however, hit back. Thomas argued that Kathryn made these court arguments “in bad faith.” He went on to argue that Kathryn did so “for the purpose of garnering media attention.” Thomas even alleged that Kathryn was bent toward “creating material for her storyline on Southern Charm and ensuring her marketability as a ‘reality TV star.'” Kathryn’s priority is her children. Everything else is secondary. Because celebrity court battles are so very public, it is not uncommon for one party to argue that the other is just trying to feed a media frenzy. Sometimes, the men who make these arguments are just bad dudes. One thing that we should point out about these Christmas photos is that we don’t know who took them. It could be anyone — hired help, a friend, or any family member. It could also be Thomas Ravenel himself. Sometimes, parents set aside their differences on holidays, especially when young children are involved. That said, it appears that Thomas and Kathryn held separate Christmases for their children at separate homes. A wise decision.

With The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 in the can, there’s one thing that’s become abundantly clear about the most recent season: Shannon Beador does not like any of the new additions to the cast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you already know the long-term cast member blatantly ignores Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter whenever they try to talk to her. Gina claimed on Sunday’s reunion show that Shannon is “an open book of bulls–t.” Gina was tired of the back and forth with Shannon and felt like the recently single housewife was lying about everything, all while putting on a show for the cameras. According to Gina, Shannon called her up and said the following: “I have a history of not remembering things, and I’m in a custody case, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose my children. I wanna know what was said.” As you may recall, Gina was the one who told Shannon what was said about her after her meltdown in Jamaica. That thinly veiled attempt at finding a friend while throwing another under the bus did not go unnoticed, and Shannon assumed Tamra Judge was the person talking about her. Gina said during the reunion that she even offered to bring up the comments in front of the other woman to prove she was telling the truth but added that Shannon told her to leave it. Andy Cohen interjected and asked whether that was the truth, but Shannon essentially called Gina a liar. “Yes, you did! You’re lying!” Gina screamed, adding: “Maybe it’s your selective memory? All I know is that you told me you were gonna lose your kids, and I felt bad for you and told you what was said.” “I was in the middle of a divorce. There was no custody issue then!” Shannon fired back. “I’m going through a custody issue now. Don’t put words in my mouth!” “DON’T SAY WORDS! YOU ARE AN OPEN BOOK OF BULLSHIT!” Gina yelled back. “IT IS RIDICULOUS! PAGES AND PAGES! NOBODY WANTS TO READ IT ANYMORE!” “I was just trying to help you!” Gina continued. “All your friends talked about you being mentally ill on that trip.” Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson went on to say that everyone deals with things differently. Maybe they were trying to throw some support Shannon’s way, or something, but it fell flat. Tamra then chimed in and stood up for her former BFF. She felt like Gina should not have said anything about it because Shannon was recovering for surgery and not in the best state of mind. “I am sorry I brought it up. Shannon, I promise you I feel bad for you,” Gina said in response. “I really do. And I promise you, on a level, I understand what you’re going through.” “I’m sorry. I’m really not trying to make a problem for anybody, and anybody who knows me knows I don’t go with malice in my heart,” Gina continued. “I feel terrible for you and what you’re going through. I’m going through it, too. It sucks. I promise you. I got my heart broken, too, okay? In my heart, at the time, I was just checking in. Looking back on it now, I think it was bad timing.” “I accept your apology,” said Shannon as though she had to force herself to say it. Okay then. What are your thoughts on the latest twists and turns? Hit the comments! View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Premiere Just Gave Us So Much More Hope For Season 13
When Tamra Judge isn’t on reality television exposing Shannon Beador’s secret boyfriend , she’s worrying about her husband. Eddie Judge has a serious heart condition. He’s had surgeries for it and is scheduled to have more. Tamra is at her wit’s end. She’s worried that her husband could drop dead at any moment. Eddie Judge has already had seven heart surgeries in an attempt to deal with his heart condition, atrial fibrillation. As Tamra Judge revealed to Andy Cohen during the taping of the second portion of the reunion special, her husband will need to undergo two more. Sorry — at least two more heart surgeries. RadarOnline reports that one one of those surgeries is right around the corner, and Tamra is losing her mind over it. “Eddie will be having another surgery in the coming weeks,” the insider shares. The source explains that the surgery’s purpose is “to close up a hole that was left in his heart after his most recent procedure.” Every surgery is a risk, but so is this heart condition. None of this is sitting well with Tamra. “Tamra is scared to death that he is going to die,” the insider reveals. This is an extremely natural fear. One that we hope will not be realized. This latest surgery didn’t dredge up Tamra’s worries out of the blue. She’s had this concern since day one. “She has been fearing this all along,” the insider shares. “And she is trying to stay strong,” the source affirms. The insider acknowledges: “but it’s very hard.” “Just when she thinks that they fixed the problem,” the source characterizes. “He needs another operation.” Recently, Tamra herself spoke on this topic. “I have to stay strong,” she affirmed. “But I’m super scared because I’m just afraid what if? What if?” “What if he has a heart attack?” she asks, for example. “He has a stroke?” “All these things. Like the other day, he wouldn’t wake up,” she shares. That sounds harrowing. “His alarm was going off and he was just laying there so peaceful,” she characterizes. Tamra continues: “I’m like, ‘Eddie!’ And he was just laying there. I’m like, ‘Oh my god, he died!’ I’m like, ‘Eddie!’ Like that.” Tamra has spoken in the past about how she feels that Eddie’s body has betrayed him. Eddie Judge is 45 years old, and will turn 46 in March of 2019. Atrial fibrillation is a little surprising in someone his age. Though the condition is considered “very common” in adults aged 41 to 60, it is often associated with old age. Additionally, Tamra is a fitness buff and Eddie keeps his body extremely fit. Sometimes, those who devote themselves to exercise are more surprised when their bodies develop life-threatening conditions. Atrial fibrillation is different from, say, a simple heart attack. In the simplest possible terms, the heart malfunctions and that can change one’s resting heartrate and blood pressure. There are a number of solutions. A procedure known as a cardioversion can shock the heartrate into returning to a normal rhythm. Some even get pacemakers to ensure that their heartrate remains stable. We hope that Eddie can resolve this condition and make a full recovery. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Premiere Just Gave Us So Much More Hope For Season 13
Source: Michael Tullberg / Getty Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood concludes its fifth season tonight with part two of its annual reunion. It’s all shenanigans as usual. We pick up from last week where someone we couldn’t really see tried to run up on Akbar’s harem. That someone was Moniece, shocker. Anyway, security handled that situation because they are about that life. Speaking of Akbar’s harem, Nina Parker asks them if they were broken when they met Akbar since Akbar said he likes picking up broken women. Both women said some version of they were lost until Akbar found them and helped them step their game up. The segment even continues with Bridget asking Akbar why he would drag Teairra into a toxic situation with women that don’t like her. His answer is dumb. This whole situation is bull and then we get to the sex tape. Akbar still claims he didn’t leak Teairra Mari’s tape even though he said he did it on TMZ (according to Teairra). Then Alejandra (one of the harem) alleges to have seen Teairra release the video. However, at one point, Alejandra claims she released the tape and said she took ownership of the act because TT kept lying about releasing it. TT said Alejandra is lying on her and that she did not release her own tape. Why were we still even entertaining this again? They end up spending too much time on this segment trying to get to the bottom of a situation with people who aren’t going to be honest. Let’s fast forward to Brooke. Nina addresses Brooke’s messy ways and Brooke actually apologizes to anyone she may have hurt. But can we really believe it because we all know what happens when the cameras start rolling… Anyway, next we get to the whole never have I ever incident where Brooke tried to blow up Nikki’s spot about sleeping with Solo Lucci. Nikki says Solo Lucci is lying, Solo Lucci says Nikki is lying. TT was allegedly there when it may or may not have happened, and TT said she didn’t see any intercourse popping off. So, that’s that. Everybody tryna use someone else for a storyline. Paris and K Michelle have a moment to discuss their never-ending unauthorized Uber saga. They’re still beefing. K Michelle still maintains that Paris stole from her. Paris says that it was a $50 Uber and she didn’t steal since she was K Michelle’s assistant. K Michelle calls her a Twitter fan that she felt sorry for who became her assistant and near tax write off. Paris says she tried to pay K Michelle back but K Michelle never took the money because she’s so busy trying to ruin Paris’ career. We all know how nutty K Michelle can be, so this got blown all the way out of proportion. They just can’t get right and that’s that. The brightest spot of tonight’s episode is that Moniece and Princess actually manage to call a truce. This is huge. Remember how Princess insulted Moniece’s mothering and Moniece later tried to attack Princess while she was pregnant? Yeah, their resulting beef was intense, but it’s all good now. Who would have thought this beef could ever be squashed! And now we prepare to return to the North East for Love and Hip-Hop New York , which premieres next Monday.

Over the past several months, Chris Zylka got to spend a lot more than just one night in Paris. Alas, the mediocre actor will not be settling down there for good, however, as we just learned his engagement to the famous sex tape star is over. According to numerous outlets, Paris Hilton and Zylka have called off their plans to marry, nearly a year after Hilton happily confirmed the development to People Magazine. “I am so excited to be engaged to the love of my life and my best friend,” Hilton told the publication, which somehow managed to snap photos of the actual proposal. The question was popped while the two were on vacation in Aspen in early January. “I have never felt so happy, safe and loved. He is perfect for me in every way and showed me that fairy tales really do exist!” Hilton added at the time. TMZ reports that Hilton was the one who ended the romance and that the break-up took place a few weeks ago. The two got together about two years ago after they met at Art Basel in Miami. Things were got and heavy for awhile, but the flame eventually burned out. “Their relationship moved really quickly, and she realized he wasn’t right for her. She wishes him well and hopes they can remain friends,” a source tells E! News of what transpired. After receiving a $2 million engagement ring from the former Leftover and Secret Circle actor, Paris wrote on Instagram: So happy & excited to be engaged to the love of my life. My best friend & soulmate. Perfect for me in every way. So dedicated, loyal, loving & kindhearted. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! You are my dream come true! Thank you for showing me that fairytales do exist. She and Zylka had initially set a wedding date of November 11, but after it got pushed back to an undetermined date, fans figured something might be amiss. Both halves of the ex-couple, meanwhile, have ended engagements in the past. Hilton called hers off to Jason Shaw in 2003 and to Paris Latsis in 2005; while Zylka broke off his engagement to Hanna Beth in 2015. For the record: Paris Hilton is an ex-celebrity who rose to fame by having intercourse with a boyfriend on video. Kim Kardashian actually worked as her assistant before she also had intercourse with a boyfriend on video — yet did so in the social media age while having a very smart marketing person for a mother. Kim is now an A-Lister around the globe, while Hilton is someone who still exists. We wish her the best.
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.

Money can’t buy you class, but some help and some hard work can get you your sobriety — and a comeback. After missing last season’s reunion while in rehab , Luann is back. Not only is she filming scenes for the new season, she’s celebrating 100 days of being sober. Luann de Lesseps is back at it! By it, we mean filming . She is still very much not drinking, thankfully. TMZ reports that Countess Luann recently celebrated 100 days of sobriety. As of Wednesday, November 14, it has been 121 days since we reported that she was returning to rehab. (It may be that her celebration wasn’t so recent, or it may be that she’s not counting her time in rehab where there’s no temptation) According to TMZ , her extended sobriety has resulted in a “domino effect” across multiple areas of her personal life. And that positive spin has also extended to her professional life. Luann has returned as a Full Housewife for the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City . (We know that it was always expected, but there were people who thought that she’d quit or even get fired not so long ago) In fact, TMZ reports that the Countess is already filming scenes for the new season. After she missed the reunion taping last July, she had to play catch-up with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live . Recovering from a relapse can be rough, but hopefully, she won’t have to miss any filming this year. She’s definitley closing 2018 on a more positive beat than she did the year before. It’s been almost 11 months since Luann’s arrest in Florida in late 2017. At the time, what could have been an awkward incident — or, at worst, a trespassing charge — turned into a scandal. Luann apparently resisted arrest and even kicked an officer. It’s an understatement to say that she was under the influence of alcohol at the time. Though some have cynically suggested that she cleaned up her act as a ploy to avoid prison time, the arrest was a real wakeup call for Luann. Luann entered rehab and returned to her life. Everything seemed to go well for her … until this summer. After receiving some upsetting news — that her ex was suing her — she ended up relapsing. As is so often the case for people who abuse any kind of substance, she used the alcohol to self-medicate. Luann drank an unbelievable amount at that time and realized that she had let her guard down. So she returned to rehab, even though it mean missing the reunion special. Her health was worth it. Now, Luann has been sober for months. And she aims to stay that way. Some went so far as to suggest that Luann would no longer be “interesting” as a Housewife if she isn’t drinking. That is ridiculous, of course. Not everyone “needs” to drink in order to be fun or interesting. Without alcohol, Luann is healthier and happier and able to be more present. Good for her.
