Thomas Ravenel has kept a low profile since he was fired from Southern Charm in 2018. The OG villain found himself in a legal battle with two women, including his former nanny. He was accused of alleged assault, battery, and rape. In 2019, Thomas pled guilty to third-degree assault and battery in connection to the attack on his nanny. He paid a $500 fine, served no jail time, and donated $80,000 in the nanny's name to a sexual assault survivors charity. However, this was not Thomas' first run-in with the law.
In 2007, the former politician was indicted on federal cocaine distribution charges and sentenced to ten months in federal prison. Thomas has since been cleared of these charges and eventually ran in the Senate for South Carolina in 2014. However, he did not win. During the time he ran, he began his career as a reality star on Southern Charm. He and Kathryn Dennis began a relationship, later welcoming their two children together, Kensie and Saint. The couple's relationship did not last very long, as they broke up shortly after she gave birth to their daughter. They did reunite for a short time, during which they conceived their son.
What has Thomas been up to since he was fired from Southern Charm in 2018? Shortly after the 58-year-old was fired, he lost custody of his two children, and Kathryn gained full custody. Less than a year later, Thomas and Kathryn were granted joint legal and physical custody of the kids. It seemed as though Thomas and Kathryn were in a great place in their relationship and were co-parenting civilly. A few months later, Kathryn discovered Thomas welcomed a son with a woman she had no idea he was dating, reported Page Six. Thomas and his now fiancé Heather Mascoe welcomed their son, Jonathan Jackson Ravenel, in June 2020. On the season seven reunion, Kathryn confirmed she had yet to meet the newborn or the mother.
Before Thomas met the mother of his new baby boy, he and Kathryn were on the verge of a potential reconciliation. During the season seven reunion, the 29-year-old admitted she and Thomas slept together once while living together for a short time in January 2020. However, the parents were not able to figure out their relationship. Kathryn was also grilled about the pair's lengthy legal battle regarding the custody of their kids. She admitted he was trying to sue her for custody because he was moving. Less than a month after the reunion aired, People confirmed Kathryn temporarily lost custody of her kids. While all documents, in this case, have been sealed, Thomas has accused Kathryn in the past of having a problem with illegal drugs, alcohol, prescription pills.
Thomas has been busy trying to take on full custody of his kids now that he and Kathryn are officially over. He sees how happy Kathryn is in her new relationship with Chleb Ravenell (no relation to Thomas) and found the perfect time to go after her parenting abilities. During the time Thomas was away from Southern Charm, he has been finding ways to control Kathryn. Taking away temporary custody was his first move. It seems the OG villain is back to his wicked ways.
