Thomas Ravenelmay no longer star onSouthern Charm, but he’s still very much part of the plot.
In a sneak peek from Wednesday’s season premiere, the cast struggles to come to terms with the fate of their former castmember and friend after he wasarrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree.(He has denied all the allegations).
“I just left the doctor with Thomas and Saint, which was awkward,” Ravenel’s exKathryn Dennissays while speaking to a friend on the phone. “It was really, really weird. I think he’s in denial or something.”
After reading about Ravenel’s arrest online, Austen Kroll calls Shep Rose to discuss the news.
“Now I’m reading that he can be convicted for up to three years,” says Kroll.
“Honestly, like, he can handle himself,” responds Rose. “I’m worried about his family.”
And while neither Kroll nor Rose has spoken to Dennis about her feelings yet, the mother-of-two turns to friend Craig Conover to confide in him about the complicated situation.
“Like, honestly I haven’t even begun to, like, really comprehend everything that’s happened,” she says.
“I mean, we all have, like, complicated lives in our own ways, but I think this is a little different,” Conover says. “But anyway, I don’t think it, like, changes anything for you.”
“Not, it won’t. Just more or less for, like, my life!” Dennis quips.

But not everyone is down to gossip.
“I’m not saying anything negative about Thomas because I don’t want to be sued,” Cameran Eubanks says. “Sorry.”
