“Southern Charm” star Kathryn Dennis was in full mom mode this weekend while hanging with her two kids, amid her nasty custody battle with ex, Thomas Ravenel.
Dennis was having some summer fun with Madison LeCroy (who has dated Dennis’ co-star Austen Kroll) with friends on the river in Charleston, South Carolina.
Throughout the weekend she posted other videos and photos with her children, Kensie and Saint . The three of them all enjoyed the river while riding in a boat.
Kensie even enjoyed swimming in the pool later with her mom.
Dennis also posted a photo on the boat, posing with the caption, “took off my SPF shirt for this #doitforthegram #frecklejuice”
She made sure to tag Dolce & Gabbana in her pic.
The weekend trip for Dennis and her kids comes amid accusations by Ravenel that she tested positive for marijuana on a recent drug test.
He is requesting the court to only allow Dennis to have supervised visitation with their two kids. Dennis has disputed the test and pointed out her hair test came back clean. A judge has yet to rule.
He demanded sole custody of the two kids due to the test results.
Back in November 2018, Ravenel filed a lawsuit against Bravo and “Southern Charm” producers demanding a judge stop them from broadcasting unaired footage on the show.
Ravenel filed the docs as part of his custody battle with Dennis. She filed for primary custody of the children back in October. Dennis had her custody taken away in 2016 after failing a drug test but was awarded joint custody this year after completing rehab and staying clean.
In his suit against Bravo, Ravenel says the network and “Southern Charm” producers “encouraged” his ex to file for custody against him to create drama on the show.
He demanded Dennis not be awarded primary custody despite her request. Ravenel, who is about to be on trial for an alleged sexual assault in South Carolina, claimed he learned that Bravo and producers have unaired footage of his kids and ex talking about the legal battle and it was to be aired on the upcoming season.
The reality star sued demanding a South Carolina judge prohibit the sensitive footage from airing on the show.
Ravenel would later file docs accusing Dennis of buying drugs from friends and show producers and even accused her of committing a hit-and-run. Dennis has denied all allegations by Ravenel.
The case is ongoing.
