In South Carolina court records obtained by The Sun, Thomas claimed a mutual friend told him about a with Kathryn, her , Kensie, Saint and others.
Thomas claimed the friend said: “He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous.”
Kathryn alleged in her court response: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”
She also agreed to take a drug test as long as Thomas “pays for it and takes one as well.”

He believes it is in the children’s best interests to move with the minor children to Aiken, South Carolina, as he can maintain a “safe, stable and secure environment” for them.
He explained how he has “never wanted to deprive Kensie and Saint ample time with their mother” and that Kathryn “loves” their children.
He continued: “But I have been terrified for years that they continue to be put in harm’s way every time they are in her care.”
Thomas noted how at one point in 2020, they got along and he let her stay in his guest home, which was .
He added: “However, I could not and cannot ignore the accumulation of evidence that Kathryn continues to put our children in harm’s way.”
Thomas continued in the court documents: “Kathryn cannot be allowed to play Russian Roulette with our children’s lives.
"Unless the Court intervenes to protect Kensie and Saint, it is not a matter of ‘if,’ it is a matter of ‘when’ until something devastating happens to them while under Kathryn’s care.”
