Southern Charm has a good sized cas,t but a lot of the drama throughout the run of the show has been focused on Thomas Ravenel and his relationship with Kathyrn Dennis. They now have two children together and a tense co-parenting relationship due to the conditions around Dennis staying sober.

But now, Ravenel is in the hot seat with women off-screen. Two women have come forward with serious allegations against Ravenel. It looks like the show is distancing itself from him. Here are eight things to know about Ravenel not filming Season 5’s reunion (page 6) and more.

1. Thomas Ravenel reportedly paid a settlement to a woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her

  • It has been revealed that Ravenel paid a settlement to a woman who went on a date with him.

The disgraced politician has been facing reports claiming he has sexually assaulted two women. One claim came from Ashley Perkins who said her mother went on a date with Ravenel in October 2015. After the date, she said she noticed something was wrong.

Perkins said her mother “acted very withdrawn” before telling her that Ravenel “stuck his penis in my face,” according to People. She also noticed her mother’s wrists “starting to look bad” the next morning and took a picture of it.

Eventually, Perkins said her mother went to mediation where she signed a non-disclosure agreement and received a $200,000 settlement from Ravenel.

Next: He’s facing more potential charges.
