Thomas Ravenel, 56, is in a bitter legal battle with ex Kathryn Dennis, 26, over custody of their two children
Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel ‘has a personality disorder’ that led him to ‘sexually assault at least two women’ including his children’s former nanny and a Tinder date whose silence he bought with ‘hush money.’
These are just some of the explosive allegations leveled by the Bravo reality TV star’s ex, Kathryn Dennis, in her bid to regain sole custody of children Kenzie, four, and Saint Julien Rembert, three, who she lost to him two years ago.
DailyMail.com has learned that as part of that bid, Kathryn’s attorneys have now filed papers demanding that Ravenel hand over all financial, social media, cell and medical records dating back to January 1, 2015 - the year in which he is alleged to have committed two highly publicized sexual assaults.
Today, we can exclusively reveal that Ravenel, 56, is fighting back with a last ditch petition to the court to exclude any materials relating to events before June 2017 - the date he was granted sole custody in the couple’s previous legal wrangle.
The materials he is fighting to keep secret include potentially incriminating texts and emails of apology he supposedly sent to former nanny Dawn Ledwell in the wake of an assault she claims took place on January 25, 2015 and for which Ravenel is currently awaiting trial.
Now, court documents obtained by DailyMail.com lay bare the bitter spiral of claims and counterclaims that have brought the former Southern Charm couple to this point.

The former State Treasurer for South Carolina and Southern Charm star is fighting back with a petition to exclude material from before June 2017
Twenty-six-year-old Kathryn filed for sole custody of the children in November last year just three weeks after Ravenel was arrested and charged with assaulting nanny Dawn Ledwell.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com last year Dawn, told of how Ravenel sexually assaulted her in a drunken attack while his daughter Kenzie slept in the very next room.
Charleston Police Department’s report gives a more graphic account of how a naked Ravenel allegedly tore at Ledwell’s clothing, grabbed between her legs and, when she crouched down to try to avoid his attack, forced himself in her face.
Kathryn has never spoken publicly about any of the allegations made against her former lover.
But her petition for custody state that she believes Ravenel was ‘under the influence of alcohol along with potential drugs and that the incident included a sexual assault of the Nanny.’
The documents note that Ledwell passed a lie detector test.
They also claim that Kathryn is ‘informed that there are text messages and/or emails in which the Defendant apologized to the former Nanny for his conduct.’
In fact, the papers go on to claim that Ravenel told Kathryn ‘he had been afraid he would be charged with rape and that he would not do well in going back to prison.’
Any hope for peaceable co-parenting, fostered by previous seasons of Southern Charm in which both Ravenel and Kathryn seemed willing to amicably co-exist for the sake of their children, has been well and truly dashed by Kathryn’s excoriating custody filing.
In it, Ravenel is described as having ‘extreme narcissism and anger management problems.’ According to his former lover he exhibits, ‘periods of impulsive and uncontrollable anger directed at critics, strangers on the street and other persons at random times.’
Ravenel’s erratic behavior has become so notorious to residents of Charleston that, Kathryn’s filing claims, a website was created entitled T-ravsafefreezones.com listing restaurants downtown from which he has been banned.
The court documents filed by Kathryn's attorneys claim Thomas suffers from a personality disorder, is incapable of caring for the children and uses drugs
The documents which also pointedly note that Kathryn is 29 years Ravenel’s junior and therefore has more energy and time to devote to parenting, go onto allege that Ravenel skewed the results of court mandated random drugs tests that both he and she had to undergo as part of their original custody settlement.
The court documents state that Ravenel told Kathryn ‘he had been afraid he would be charged with rape and that he would not do well in going back to prison' for alleged assault on his former nanny Dawn Ledwell
Among other things, she alleges that Ravenel threw a party in his downtown home ‘with illegal drugs present’ and that he ‘informed fellow party participants while standing in the bathroom that mushrooms don’t show up on drug screens.’
True to form Ravenel has hit back with full vitriolic force against the mother of his children.
Amid the slew of allegations he hurls at Kathryn by way of response he claims that, while he has never been diagnosed with a personality disorder, she ‘has been diagnosed with multiple mental health conditions, including but not limited to Bi-Polar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, kleptomania, self-mutilation and Cluster B Personality Traits including histrionic and borderline personality disorders.’
He goes on to rubbish Kathryn’s claims to be drug free, alleging that she has ‘a history of purchasing synthetic urine’ in order to pass drug tests.
Perhaps most extraordinary of all is his claim that Kathryn’s suit for a change in the agreed custody arrangement is not brought ‘out of concern for the best interests of the children,’ but with ‘the sole and/or primary purpose of securing her role on the reality TV show “Southern Charm.”’
Ravenel has alleged that Kathryn’s only concern is ‘progressing her storyline as the ‘rehabilitated Mother who regains possession of her minor children.’
Certainly this is the version of Kathryn to have emerged towards the end of the previous season when she was embraced by all, most notably Charleston society doyenne, Patricia Altschul - once her most powerful critic now her most influential ally.
But according to Ravenel this is all just a cynical manipulation of life into ‘plot-line’ and fodder for the show’s next season.
Ravenel claims that Kathryn’s, ‘obsession with fame, stardom and public exposure is injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the minor children’
Ravenel's court papers claim daughter Kensington and son Saint have required intensive therapy as a result of their mother's actions during and after each pregnancy
He claims that Kathryn was egged on by the show’s makers and embarked on the suit with the ‘encouragement, condonation, and/or express or implied permission of the producers of Southern Charm, for the purpose of providing dramatic material for the next season of Southern Charm.’
Filming for season 6 wrapped last month and the new show is set to premier at the beginning of April.
And while Kathryn has a newfound social standing, Ravenel’s star is very much in the descent. He has been unceremoniously dropped by both cast and crew and will not be rejoining the show.
He has responded to the snub by biting the hand that used to feed him. He has now brought a suit against program-makers Haymaker Media and Bravo whom he blames for orchestrating his dramatic fall from grace for ratings.
He describes Kathryn’s suit as ‘frivolous’ and made ‘in bad faith,’ and goes a step further by alleging that she was behind both Ledwell and Perkins’s decisions to go public with their claims of assault.
Ravenel states that he, ‘believes that it is not coincidental that the pending sexual assault allegation….was brought on or around the time the parties were scheduled to attend mediation over custody, per the terms of the 2017 Final Order.’
Both children are undergoing therapy with each parent blaming the other for its need.
For his part, Ravenel claims that Kathryn’s, ‘obsession with fame, stardom and public exposure is injurious to the health, safety and welfare of the minor children.’
Meanwhile, in a complete reversal of fortune, Kathryn has painted Ravenel as morally unfit and mentally unstable to parent the children she bore him, lost to him and now may very well win back from him.
The Presiding Judge of Charleston’s Family Court is expected to rule on Ravenel’s petition today.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
