On Oct. 25, Dennis filed documents in Charleston, South Carolina,seeking to obtain primary custodyof her and Ravenel’s two children.
In the filing, Dennis accused Ravenel, 56, of relying “upon the use of full-time nannies” and referenced thesexual assault allegationsbrought against him and his recentarrest.She also alleged he “has drunk alcohol to excess, mixed with prescription drugs, that has caused him to be impaired during periods of time in which he had custody of the children.”

He also alleged that Dennis’ attempt to seek primary custody was “for the sole and/or primary purpose” of securing her role on the show and “progressing her storyline as the ‘rehabilitated mother who regains possession of her minor children.’” (Dennis previously lost custody of the kids and entered rehab in 2016 after she failed a drug test. She has sinceearned back 50/50 custody.)
