“Southern Charm” star Kathryn Dennis is getting help from an unexpected source in her custody battle with Thomas Ravenel, as his current girlfriend’s former roommate is rushing to court to spill some tea.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, a woman named Lara Dawson has submitted an affidavit detailing her experience being the roommate of Ashley Jacobs, Ravenel’s on-again off-again girlfriend.

She lived with Ashley from September 2018 until January 2019, and often would encounter Ravenel. Dawson accuses him of having a drinking problem and said Ashley “corroborated” that.

Dawson said, “Whenever she [Ashley] and Thomas would break up, she’d always tell me the truth about what had been occurring over at his house. She always talked about his alcoholism and the fact that she was tired of taking care of his children.”

She said Ravenel relied on his nanny to take care of the kids and recalled a time he was so drunk he couldn’t read them a book. Dawson also trashed Ashley saying she has a horrible temper and is “extremely vindictive.” She even submitted text message convos with Ashley where they talked about Ravenel.
