Thomas Ravenel News: 'Southern Charm' Star Quits After Season Three [VIDEO]
Thomas Ravenel has quit Southern Charm.
After starring on the series for three seasos, Ravenel, who has spoke of leaving the show before, told fans on Twitter at the end of last week that they would be seeing the last of him during the remaining episodes of season three.
"Enjoy Southern Charm if you like me in it bc this will be my last season. They pay peanuts and destroy your life in the process," he wrote, as revealed by Reality Tea on Saturday.
This time last year, Ravenel expressed similar sentiments during a rant on Facebook.
“The story line about me making Kathryn wait to take her to the Founders Ball in tonight’s episode is a complete lie," Ravenel wrote to fans, according to a report by ABC News 4. "I went to pick her up quite punctually and she was nowhere near ready. The second time I went to pick her up she still was not ready and I waited at least 30 minutes...Because of all of their Bravo’s lies, (this is supposed to be reality) I only filmed 2 months on season 2 even though there were 3 months of filming. I’ve let a lot slide. Going forward I hereby refuse to do anymore interviews or appear again on the Andy Cohen show."
At the same time, Ravenel shared a post on Twitter, telling fans, “Since I am so insanely portrayed on SC; never will I work with them again. This is supposed to be reality not fiction.”
Ravenel also spoke of quitting in Oct. 2014. At that time, he spoke of an alleged dispute with producers.
"They wanted to film me going up to the debate, and I told them, 'Absolutely no,' and they said, 'We'll just send an NBC affiliate,'" Ravenel told the Charleston City Paper. "I'm thinking it'll be the local television station. Well, instead they sent the entire Bravo crew, so the story the next day was that the Bravo crew tried to gain entry into the debate and were denied entry. They lied to me. So I just sent them a note saying I'm not going to participate in any more Bravo shows."
For more Thomas Ravenel, tune into Southern Charm season three on Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo and check out a sneak peek at tonight's new episode below.
