Bravo says Thomas Ravenel’s lawsuit against the network is bogus.
Bravo and “Southern Charm” producers filed court documents in their ongoing lawsuit against their former star, saying that he is trying to unlawfully stop them from exercising their first amendment right by airing footage of his children with Kathryn Dennis and footage of Dennis discussing Ravenel, The Blast reports.
Bravo also argued in their paperwork that the lawsuit he filed against them is part of his custody battle with Dennis, which means it should not apply to them as they are not in any way responsible for their children Kensie, 4, and Saint, 3.
“If Ravenel actually wants to stem the public flow of information about this custody dispute, then his recourse is to stop his own public mudslinging in the pleadings he has filed in this case, stop posting photos and videos of his children on the Internet, join Dennis’s request to seal this Court’s records, and/or seek to restrain Dennis from discussing the case,” they said in the papers.
“Ravenel’s actual interest appears to be to prohibit anyone besides himself from maintaining a public platform to discuss this lawsuit now that he is no longer a cast member on ‘Southern Charm,’” they added.
As a result, they want the suit dismissed with him paying their legal fees.
Ravenel, 56, first filed suit against Bravo and “Southern Charm” producers at Haymaker over unaired footage that they shot after Dennis, 26, filed for full custody of their children in light of the sexual assault allegations against him. Ravenel retorted by claiming that she is an avid drug user.
The case is still ongoing.
