Assault and battery allegations

In April 2018, Ravenel was accused by Ashley Perkins, a Florida-based real estate agent of sexually battering her mother, Debbie Holloway Perkins. This was after Ravenel met Debbie on the dating app Tinder in December 2015. Ashley claims her mother told her later that Ravenel ”stuck his penis in her face” and held her arms back while sticking his fingers inside her vagina and anus. Ravenel’s attorney Richard P. Terbrusch denied her allegations, stating that his ”client enjoys a certain degree of fame and unfortunately has become- unfairly- a target for an individual who has, in my opinion, dubious motivations. However, Bravo and Southern Charm production company, Haymaker, revealed on May 4, 2018, that it was taking the ”allegations very seriously” and launching its own investigation into their validity.

In May 2018, a second accuser, Dawn Ledwell, the former nanny of his children, came forward. She claimed that in January 2015, Thomas assaulted her following a night out with his friends. Dawn stated ”I went upstairs to get my jacket which had the key to my vehicle in the pocket. I was corralled into the master bedroom and he shut the door behind me. I turned around and he had his pants dropped, not wearing underwear.” She went on to say ”He was blocking the door. I was mortified, embarrassed, and scared.” Charleston police then opened an investigation into the alleged assault following the nanny filing an incident report in early May, and she settled the case and completely recanted the details of that evening’s events.

Ravenel later plead guilty to third-degree assault and battery in connection with an attack on Ledwell on September 11, 2019. He will therefore pay a $500 fine but serve no jail time. Ravenel also settled a civil suit with her, agreeing to donate $80,000 in her name to a charity for sexual assault survivors in lieu of paying her damages.
