Yes. Kathryn seemed alarmed when Ashley said she knew things about her. "You're threatening me?" I think that struck fear in her, and then she went and told Thomas, "Be careful, because if she'll threaten me, she'll threaten you."  Ashley knows things. I don't know what she could possibly know that would be so devastating to Thomas' reputation. It's not like he's held in the highest regard.

I think TRav told Ashley what happened between him and a woman (or women) accusing him - or maybe he abused Ashley, which may explain her weight loss. Kathryn must be scared for her kids - I could see Ashley telling them all kinds of lies about their mother just for control.

[HunterHunted]

Ashley loves to throw it in Kathryn's face that Kathryn has lost custody/is a bad mother/etc, but she rarely ever talks about Thomas being a good father. Nor does Ashley seem to actually be concerned with the kids wellbeing. It's like the children are irrelevant and only a means for her to jab at Kathryn.

Seeing how Ashley has tried to provoke Kathryn all season, I 100% believe that quote from Luzanne that Thomas wishes Kathryn had overdosed and died and that was their plan this season.

So, I don't follow these people much beyond this forum and links posters provide.  I must be missing a ton.   I don't recall reading anything about either Thomas or Ashley posting negative comments about the woman accusing TRav of sexual harassment.  They must have if the woman hired attorneys.

[Booger666]

I’m in the minority, but I don’t believe blackmail is involved.  A few ep back Thomas said “Who does she think she is?  She’s nobody!  I have the money.  I have the power.”, and that told me a lot about how he views her and relationships.  I think he keeps Ashley around because he can easily mentally and emotionally manipulate her, and he likes her physicality.  She’s made it clear she isn’t going to leave so he can end the relationship whenever he wants and on his terms.  It’s completely up to him if they move in together to progress the relationship.  Most people want companionship and affection.  Thomas’ relationship goals are to completely control someone who isn’t turned off by his coke-addled diseased ding dong.

I don't cosign the blackmail theory either.  I was thinking it was all storyline driven, but that wouldn't explain why they're "still together", six plus months post-taping, especially when his participation in the future of the show is highly questionable.  Ashley is a perfect choice to continue with the show, regardless of any future relationship with TR, simply because of her caustic, nasty character (as seen on TV).  As respulsive as the thought is, she is exactly what Bravo loves in an antagonist.

True but if she has to keep a nurse's schedule, she might not have time to film.

They'd have to offer her a lot of money for however many months they film for her to gets time off work.  Or she won't be in many scenes.

If TRav isn't around next season, it would be silly for Kathryn and Ashley to have more fights and arguments on camera.

It’s also been months since the allegations and there have been no charges. It’s not just about powerful men it’s that such cases were there is no evidence other than the persons word are tough to prove and so prosecutors are reluctant to bring the case forward unless there is a ton of external pressure. So far only one powerful person has actually been criminally charged in the #Metoo movement and that was because of the overwhelming attention and outrage that they had failed to prosecute him in the past. There isn’t the same spotlight on Thomas.

One thing that I think that Kathryn is fully aware of is Ashley's ability to go from nice to hellion probably isn't limited to Kathryn only. I bet part of the reason she doesn't want her around the kids is that has certainly shown that she could flip in the same manner on the kids and say hurtful or damaging things about one or both of their parents.

Isn't it interesting that when doing a Google search of TRav, this is the prominant photo shown on his bio.  Maybe Google has already weighed in the the accusations.  Looks like he ran into a wall.  Several times.

Don't expect South Carolina to move at the same pace of New York.

That said, I strongly suspect that Thomas will not be charged unless there is overwhelming evidence that goes public.  That doesn't mean he'll ever be completely cleared either.  And some of his very public outbursts certainly do not help to dispel the specter of those accusations.

The charges with Harvey are from 2003 and 2014 so it would be hard pressed to move slower particularly in the 2003 case where she went right after it happened.

The accusation that has a settlement attached to it on its face is a misdemeanor and the Kathryn has said repeatedly that Dawn the only person accusing Thomas of rape is a liar. I firmly believe Thomas has raped women, I just don’t believe he will be charged based on Dawn’s allegation. The realtor who he settled with has not filed charges.

[mytmo]

Question - Was Dawn the nanny that Katherine did not like and thought she was trying to turn her kids against her or was it the replacement nanny?  

On another note you know Lindsay Graham is laughing his ass off about Thomas' troubles especially since Thomas threw a whole bunch of shade at Lindsay during the congressional race in SC.

It would appear that her efforts at character rehabilitation fly in the face of her professional duty.  I'm assuming that she thinks by posting photos of patients, that she is essentially saying "see how nurturing I am?"

That is wrong on so many levels. She could lose her license over that. I’d be incensed if someone posted a photo of my family member. Besides the Nursing Board she may also have separate charges brought against her for violating a clients privacy. 

Shes off on a downward spiral. Yep, TRav has shown her everything not to do. His money isn’t going to save her butt. He’s having a hard enough time trying to save his own. I don’t know if they are still together but they are a pox on each other’s legal troubles.

Nail on the head @SuprSuprElevated The way she's cheek kissing the patient in the wheelchair the way she kisses Thomas in her social media posts makes me want to vomit. Her behavior sickens me.

Very bizarre.  Unless she has the written consent and permission from the patient or their legal guardian to post that way, I would think it was a huge violation AND, even if she did have it, Ashley's employing agency, wouldn't want to go that route, because people who see it, don't know that there was written consent.  I suspect that Ashley has what a lot of people have now days....they can't control their online social interaction.  IT's like an addiction and they really can't seem to stop themselves.  Some people put acts of them committing crimes online, because that need is greater than their fear of retribution.  

There was a mother in my city recently, who arrested, when she posted ON LINE, her making her one year-old baby smoke weed!  NOT kidding.

This is a HIPAA violation and grounds for dismissal for sure. Board action on her license is possible as well. 

[nexxie]

Wow, what a disgusting opportunist - using her patients this way.

btw, she’s wasting away - obviously in need of medical care herself.

Civil penalties can be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for one HIPAA violation.

Another blind item on the Crazy Days and Nights site about Thomas.

 

"That reality troll company that is for hire for put upon reality stars is at it again. This time they have been hired by the besieged reality star from the south to go after people who go after him in comments of tabloids and other online forums. One of these days, they will go too far and the people behind the company are going to end up in jail.
Thomas Ravenel"

 

I have heard of celebrities hiring companies who will troll their opponents online. Not surprising Thomas would do this. He has the money to throw away.

I think in the beginning Whitney persuaded him to film the “sizzle reel” knowing he’d  be an interesting character, especially with the Ravenel name, wealth, and “heritage”. The reel was shopped to Bravo. Thomas probably thought it sounded like fun, there was probably plenty of alcohol involved, and he may not have needed much persuasion. Then the show got picked up and he filmed the first season. Once he got a taste of Bravo-lebrity no doubt he was hooked. Even he has said that his parents and siblings don’t like him being on the show and have tried to convince him to quit. It sure fits his arrogant nature to want to be a “star”.

I hope this is the right place to post this. Apparently Ashley is in Santa Barbara and was supposed to get paid to do a club appearance. Page Six is reporting that the club has cancelled her appearance and apologized to their LGBT patrons for booking her in the first place. I feel like I’m missing part of this story. Does anyone know what the scuttlebutt is?
