Former “Southern Charm” star Thomas Ravenel claims Bravo exec Andy Cohen is exploiting his custody battle with ex Kathryn Dennis for the sake of ratings.

According to legal documents obtained by The Blast, Ravenel claims the network failed to inform him that his custody drama would become a central plot point this season, and he demanded a court hearing after the Season 6 trailer revealed photos of his children and discussions of the court proceedings between him and Dennis.

Ravenel also claimed that Dennis’ May 2019 appearance on Cohen’s late-night show “Watch What Happens Live” disparaged his character. He said that Cohen assuring Dennis that “everyone is rooting for [her]” portrayed him in a negative light.

He also alleged that Dennis appeared “highly intoxicated on drugs and/or alcohol” on the episode — a claim Dennis called “patently false.”

Ravenel has been involved in an ongoing legal battle with Bravo over footage of the family airing on the show.

Dennis lost custody of the couple’s two children in 2016 when she failed a drug test, but was awarded joint custody after getting sober in rehab.

Dennis is now fighting for sole custody of their kids, after Ravenel was arrested for assault and battery in September 2018. The assault case is set to go to trial this summer.

Bravo didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Tuesday.
