‘Southern Charm' Star Ashley Jacobs Fires Back at Former Roommate For Supporting Kathryn Dennis in Custody Battle

“Southern Charm” star Ashley Jacobs is accusing her former roommate of only helping Kathryn Dennis in her custody battle with Thomas Ravenel to get revenge on her.
As The Blast previously reported, Jacobs’ former roommate Lara Dawson filed an affidavit in support of Kathryn Dennis, as part of her custody battle with Jacob’s boyfriend Thomas Ravenel.
Jacobs tells The Blast, “Laura is a pill popper and she did this out of pure revenge."
She added, “Laura is simply mad at me because I moved out of her house due to the fact that I caught her stealing from me and that she is a pathological liar.” Jacobs threw shade saying, “makes sense her and Kathryn would team up they are both mentally ill. She is one of the main reasons I left South Carolina.”
Dennis filed Dawson's affidavit to help her with her case in the battle to get primary custody of kids with Ravenel.
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 fired back denying the allegations and demanded the lawsuit be dismissed. She accused him of past drug use and claimed he hired a private eye to follow her allegedly in violation of the restraining order in place.
The custody battle is ongoing.
