Southern Hospitality reunion was full of drama as cast members recalled the best moments from Season 3, while also discussing the conflicts. One of the major surprise elements at the reunion was Will Kulp's decision to not join the others.
Along with show host Andy Cohen, cast members present were Emmy Sharrett, Joe Bradley, Leva Bonaparte, Bradley Carter, Maddi Reese, Mia Alario, Michols Peña, TJ Dinch, Grace Lilly, Lake Rucker, Austin Stephan, and Molly Moore.
In a conversation with US Weekly on March 7, 2025, Bradley said his fellow Southern Hospitality castmates Emmy and Will's relationship dynamic was confusing. He clarified that he wanted them to be happy together but Will's decision to stay out of the matter and Emmy defending their relationship wasn't right.
Joe Bradley explained:
“I do want them to be a happy couple and it’s not me talking s—, I am just saying that I am mostly saying this out of frustration. All of my frustration … it is out of love. It’s like hard love."
Southern Hospitality star Joe Bradley clarifies he wants the best for Emmy
During the interview, the Southern Hospitality star stated he was unsure where Emmy and Will's relationship would head. He expressed concerns regarding their future, adding that it looked as if Emmy was "all into" Will, but that wasn't the case the other way around. He said:
“I don’t know if it’s for Emmy if she’s with Will and they continue this behavior and this dynamic in their relationship. I think hospitality in the TV world is 100 percent for Emmy. It doesn’t look like [that]. It looks like she’s all into him. I don’t know if he’s all into her. I want him to be.”
Bradley said his concern for Emmy came from a place of love. The Southern Hospitality star added that Emmy deserved someone who would defend her and be right next to her to protect her. Bradley stated:
“I have a big soft spot for Emmy, and I just think she deserves someone that’s going to stand by her side. It’s that simple. It’s like if you love someone, you sit right next to them and you protect them and you take care of [them].”
He wasn't satisfied with Will's decision to skip the reunion and stay backstage. According to Joe Bradley, Will had the opportunity to clarify the matter and state that the allegations were just rumors. Bradley was confused as to why Will didn't want to address the matter. In the interview, Bradley reiterated that he wanted the best for Emmy:
“I see Emmy, she’s been killing it at work recently. I feel like she’s getting her spark back. And most important for me is for her to get that mojo back that Emmy shared that everyone loves. And I hate to see her cry.”
Southern Hospitality Season 3, along with the reunion episode, is available to stream on Bravo TV and Peacock TV.
