Texts: Thomas Ravenel Tried To Buy Girlfriend’s Silence

THE LATEST ON A U.S. SENATE RACE TURNED REALITY TV SHOW … 

By FITSNEWS ||  Back in March, Lowcountry businessman Thomas Ravenel wrote a masterful indictment of the American military-industrial complex entitled “Heeding Eisenhower.”

In his personal life, though, it seems the independent U.S. Senate candidate needs to start heeding Dr. Phil …

On Sunday evening the 52-year-old Ravenel announced – via Facebook – the end of his relationship with 23-year-old girlfriend Kathryn Dennis, the mother of his seven-month-old daughter and his co-star on the Bravo TV reality show Southern Charm.

The post – which was quickly taken down – alleged an odd reason for the breakup.  Specifically, it claimed Dennis did not come to Ravenel’s defense quickly enough in the aftermath of a recent assault allegation made against Ravenel by Dennis’ hairdresser, Lauren Moser.

In that October 17 incident, Ravenel was accused of repeatedly slamming a door into Moser and knocking her down several steps.  A police incident report also alleges Ravenel fell into the pool while carrying his daughter in his arms that same evening.

Good times …

Anyway, Dennis stood by her man but according to Ravenel she didn’t do so fast enough … hence “his” decision to break off the relationship.

But is that really how things went down?

Sources familiar with the drama tell FITS a vastly different story … and they have documentation to back it up.

According to multiple witness accounts (confirmed via text messages obtained by FITS), Ravenel allegedly offered Dennis inducements – including a $3,500 a month stipend – to keep quiet after she broke up with him on Saturday evening.

“If you can keep this private, I will continue to pay for (the baby’s nanny) and let you stay at my house on Charlotte Street until we have a mediated settlement and will pay for baby supplies,” a text message from Ravenel read. “If you go public you will have to leave Charlotte Street immediately there will be no money for (the nanny) but I will continue to pay only for baby supplies.  And things are going to get very messy.”

“I’m going public,” Ravenel texted Dennis not long after.  “Better lawyer up.”

Ravenel also warned Dennis against communicating with members of the media.

“If I read about it on Fits then I’ll know where it came fro(m),” he texted in one exchange, referring to this website.

Ravenel also allegedly fired his child’s nanny in the aftermath of the breakup because she refused to go on the record saying Dennis was a “bad mom.”  The nanny declined to comment on the breakup, referring FITS to an attorney she has retained to protect her interests.

Needless to say, all of this is sensational copy for a reality television producer – but none of it is likely to help Ravenel win votes in his bid to unseat liberal incumbent “Republican” Lindsey Graham.

Given our oft-stated contempt for Graham, this website was initially quite supportive of Ravenel’s candidacy – but several weeks ago we cut ties when we began to suspect the whole thing was more about reality television ratings, not real world political issues.

(For our report on that metamorphosis, CLICK HERE).

Ravenel showed flashes of his policy brilliance during a recent radio interview with former S.C. lieutenant governor Ken Ard – reminding us of the vast potential he had as a candidate.  In fact internal polling from multiple campaigns showed him pulling between 12-15 percent support as recently as August – well within striking distance given a sufficient financial investment down the campaign’s homestretch.

“The numbers were there for him,” one GOP pollster told us recently.  “Lindsey Graham is the most unpopular Republican incumbent in America and Ravenel could have had him on the ropes with a credible and well-funded candidacy.”

Clearly such a candidacy never materialized, though …

I know enough about real estate law that if she has been living there with him for more than 30 days he cannot evict her without adequate notice. Given that the child is also in the mix little Red should stick it to old Tommy if he tries that. As for only paying for baby supplies, is this guy really that stupid? In his dreams..

My perception is that to him the baby is both an intrusion and a distraction – just a prop for his tv show. He’s already forgotten the baby’s name — all of my children were called by their names/nicknames and never as “the baby”, “the kid”, or “the brat.”

It appears to me that in the future legal agreements he has locked himself into a minimum of $3,500 monthly for Dennis.

Willing to bet she knows enough about Thomas Ravenel to not want to live under the same roof with this jackass for 30 more days, especially if the recent allegations are true. Physically violent, history of alcohol offenses, current spat likely meaning he’s already angry as hell… Unless she wants her next TV appearance to be on something like “Southern Fried Homicide” then she better get the fuck out of there.

Don’t be so sure. I have a friend who married a multi-millionaire. They had 2 sons together. He left her for another woman and when they divorced, she received $2,000 a month in child support for both boys. May sound like a lot for some, but that was chump change for him. Doesn’t always work out the way you think.

I hate to say this, but I think Thomas could have found a woman his own age more attractive than Kathryn.

Correct. Just ask The Sun News in Myrtle Beach and reporter/writer David Wren.

They were sued for defamation by a PUBLIC FIGURE (the court in Horry County ruled that former state senator and lobbyist Mark Kelley was a public figure) and lost a judgement for $600,000.

SC now has legal precedent for a a public figure or public servant/official to sue a site such as Fits for defamation.

My guess that is why Fits is so careful about the things they post about Haley and other politicians in the state/nation. :-)

They’re not married, not been together long enough to be common law married in SC either, so the best she can do is fleece him for the maximum in child support. Although, his pockets and connections are deep enough to get him a joint custody ruling, so the likelihood that she will get some ridiculous monthly support is not great.

Just to clarify, there is no length of time required to cohabitate to become “common law” married in SC. Time has nothing to do with it:

Both parties must be legally free to marry (not already married to someone else).

Both parties must be at least 16 years of age.

There must be an agreement and intent between a man and a woman to be married, no ceremony required.

The parties must cohabitate (live together). There is no set minimum time limit. You can live together one day and be common law married or live together for years and not be. It all depends on the circumstances involved.

Both parties must hold out to the public that they are married. Examples include but are not limited to filing joint tax returns, telling people they are married, and providing insurance coverage for the other party.

It wasn’t even average (and even calling it average necessitates the intellectual gymnastics required if you attempt to forget the prior piece where he wrote with a straight face (presumably) that we needed to close our “hundreds” of military bases in Germany. The guy has no clue. hanging out in the Caribbean for a few weeks a year does not foreign policy expertise make.

The TR “traction” that was supposedly building? Not so much.

TR becoming a serious person and overcoming his past personal issues? Unless yuo count a new DUI conviction, a new out-of-wedlock bay-bay with a girl half his age, a few domestic squabbles, and a blackmail attempt…not so much.

TR is a self-centered, dumbass buffoon, and he’s been one for a long, long time. Almost everyone in the state knows it, except for, of course, the FITS staff.

Problem with T-Rav ,in my opinion , is his mental stability and the fact he apparently has millions. Does anyone really think T-Rav is going to allow Fits to stalk (posting screen shot of T-Rav’s Facebook),harrass and post articles about him and his family (true or not) like Fits does about Haley and her family?

I posted above about legal precedent in SC that allows a public figure to sue for defamation and damages.

Appears to me T-Rav has nothing to lose suing Fits. Don’t agree with it however I see it coming. Just an opinion.

You’re right about the possibility of a TR suit, but it in my opinion it would be a long shot for a couple of reasons. Recent case law notwithstanding, public officials still have a higher bar. When TR and his low-rent group post their life online for the world to see, that helps a FITS “truth defense” even more. Further, TR makes for a pretty crappy victim (important if, by some slim chance, the case ever reached a jury). As for TR’s “millions,” by most accounts they are dwindling. If he stays at his current level of nitwittery and jackassery, his $$$ will continue to dwindle. The free market to which he pays so much lip service will see to that…

A couple of comments on this:

1. It isn’t unreasonable to believe that Haley and Sic did do the nasty, & the Queen doesn’t want that coming out in court…so it’s built in protection from a suit form her.

2. Along those same lines, who here doesn’t think Sic knows where some T-Rav bodies are buried? Sure, T-Rav might lose it and do something stupid, that eventually comes back around to hurt him in a court room, but at the same time…even the crazy give pause now and then when the danger is clear.

“It isn’t unreasonable to believe that Haley and Sic did do the nasty,”

It *wasn’t* unreasonable until the 40th iteration of “the dog ate my hard drive”, the vaporware book, etc. There’s still a very slim chance that the allegation is true, but considering Sic’s meticulously self-documented delusions (serial womanizer, political kingmaker), it just isn’t likely. Not that doesn’t have 99 problems, but Sic ain’t one.

As an overall observation, it’s sad to see this site being relegated to the gossip/infotainment bin because the founder can’t keep the focus off of himself and his manufactured drama(s).

For most of us, when we have a falling-out with a friend, it’s a falling-out with a friend.
For Will, it’s a “metamorphosis.”

What a rarefied atmosphere he carries with him. BWAAHAAHAAAHAAA!!

(And I’m a fan.)

Ravenel’s “Heeding Eisenhower” is a scratchy, poorly researched screed that bears witness to the idiom: Scotch is more preferable because it doesn’t give a hangover. Scotch does and your writing shows it, Thomas. I had to laugh out loud when he wrote, “What our leaders won’t say is Russia isn’t instigating, it’s reacting to a U.S.-backed overthrow of Ukraine’s popularly elected president Viktor Yanukovych.” Shoot, even a casual effort in researching Yanukovych reveals he was/is a Russian puppet. Here, for the last fucking time, is my timeline regarding Ukraine and the mythical US backed overthrow of Yanukovych meme from Fits and T-Rav

1991: Ukraine granted
independence from dissolved Soviet Union

2004: Viktor
Yushchenko, Presidential candidate poisoned with Dioxin

2004: Viktor
Yanukovych (Russian puppet) elected President in run-off of two round system

2004: Orange
Revolution protesting rigged run-off election

2004: Ukraine Supreme
Court annuls first run-off

2005: Viktor Yushchenko
elected President in court ordered 2nd run-off

2005: Orange
Revolution ended

2005, 2007-10: Yulia
Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko appointed Prime Minister, co-led Orange Revolution

2010: Viktor
Yanukovych declared President in two-round run-off over Tymoshenko

2011: Tymoshenko
found guilty of embezzlement, sentenced 7 years

2012: Yanukovych
ponders Association Agreement with EU with release of Tymoshenko as one
condition

2013: Last minute
changes prompted by Russian pressure, EU deal not signed

2014: Ukrainians
protest sudden reversal, 80 dead from Yanukovych snipers

2014: Yanukovych
invites Russian troops into Crimea

2014: Yanukovych
flees to Russia, found guilty of ordering sniper shootings

2014: Poroshenko
elected President.

Stop; just stop. Facts confuse the shit outta these folks. If they didn’t hear on a CATO CD or have someone read it to them from a Ron Paul newsletter, it just ain’t so!

“Thomas never hit that girl,” Dennis told FITS, referring to her hairstylist Lauren Moser.

“We are good people, nobody (and I mean nobody) knows what happened besides those who were there — including me,” she told FITS. “Anything false that is said, I will be correcting.”

“Anything false that is said — including by me, I will be correcting.”

Unlike other politicians, Ravenel is unsafe and unstable holding and kissing babies during campaign rallies.

There is nothing worst than a scorned women. Today, WOMEN must ALSO be SELF RESPONSIBLE.. There relationship was over BEFORE she got preg and she knew it…

He tried to do the right thing… but really… WHAT was she thinking. their was a BIG age difference.
