Thomas Ravenel slammed his reality show Southern Charm and called it "the worst mistake" of his life. In a gag order he requested in his custody battle, he trashed the show and his ex Kathryn Dennis.

In court documents acquired by The Blast, the gag order was issued to prevent Kathryn from talking about him or their custody battle. The 56-year-old wants the custody battle to be sealed.

Thomas stated in the documents, "I do not believe Kathryn and Bravo should profit from this litigation and from the pain and suffering it has caused me and will inevitably cause our children.”

The father of two continued, "Sealing this case will do no good if Bravo and Kathryn are allowed to discuss this litigation on TV or social media.”

The former South Carolina State Treasurer claimed in the docs that if his demands are not met, "Bravo and Kathryn will be at liberty to control the public narrative of this litigation and shape the story as it suits them, and my children will bear the shame of being fathered by a man the public believes is a monster, an abuser and a narcissist.”

Thomas attacked the network and said that it's "not a news organization" and "does not publish truthful information."

He then went on to hate on the show and said, "The worst mistake of my life was agreeing to be the star of the reality TV show Southern Charm. It amplified my past notoriety, showcased my wealth I accumulated through decades of hard work, and made me a walking target for men and women eager to get in front of the camera. Most importantly, it caused embarrassment and pain to my parents, my sisters, and my children.”
