IS “GENERALISSIMO” IN TROUBLE?
Last fall we brought our readers an item on “Generalissimo,” a planned Charleston, S.C. restaurant that’s the brainchild of Bryan Kestner – former Planet Hollywood creator and co-producer of Bravo TV’s Southern Charm reality show.
As of this writing, the restaurant – which plans to offer “French/ Mexican fusion with a Southern flair” – has yet to open its doors. One possible reason? Right around the time our story ran, Kestner was staring down a 2013 cocaine charge.
Last November, a month after we posted, he would up pleading guilty to a drug paraphernalia charge related to the cocaine bust – according to Charleston County court records.
Sources familiar with the situation tell FITS Kestner’s arrest took place in October 2013 following a party with some of the cast members of Southern Charm. In fact, a friend of Kestner told us he accidentally took a jacket belonging to one of the show’s primary cast members.
Whoa! Wonder which one?
Oh, they say the cocaine bag was empty, too …
Stay tuned … we’ll try to find out more information about exactly what went down.
As FITS reported exclusively back in July, Bravo TV will air a third season of Southern Charm in 2016. The show stars 53-year-old Lowcountry playboy Thomas Ravenel – a former statewide official who lost his job due to a cocaine bust. Also on the program? His 24-year-old baby momma Kathryn Dennis, the scion of two of the Palmetto State’s most famous families.

Oh, pshaw…every Republican office holder in this state has snorted cocaine with Thomas Ravenel.
Anyone who thinks his ‘cooperation’ with prosecutors which resulted in no information, which dumbfounded the judge at his sentencing hearing, should be able to put that together.
I hear cocaine make you want to fuck like rabbits.
…and crap your pants, slap the shit out of everybody, and think gay thoughts.
That must be what he meant by “French/ Mexican fusion with a Southern flair”
Boz, your IP address keeps changing.How do you do that?
That did not come from my IP address, by any means. It’s from pogo or GT. One of you guys, in other words.
But the truth is, it has changed several times, in the last two years, due to issues with old modems and routers having to be reset, and in two cases, having broken down completely and be replaced. So …
I conclude that you guys, not the FBI, are actually the ones hacking, or attempting to hack, others who comment on FITSNews. With, obviously, a special concentration on me.
Beware, everyone. Beware. These guys are more than just a constant annoyance and source of amusement.
LMAO! You are nuts! Oh my!
Yeah.
Maybe I am.
But I’m not Sybil.
I’m not civil either! LMAO!!!
I’m going to go back to stalking you now!
Flip, you’re so full of shit you waddle when you walk.
T-Ravs hook up?
Charleston bar/restaurant. Cocaine. T-Rave and friends. Drug bust. Double-cross.
Why does this all have such a familiar ring to it?
“T-Rave”, I see what you did there, good one!

They better not screw up this show. It’s what I live for.
“French/ Mexican fusion with a Southern flair”
i.e., garbage on a plate.
“In fact, a friend of Kestner told us he accidentally took a jacket belonging to one of the show’s primary cast members.

Come on Will, don’t play dumb. We all know who.
