After a wild, alcohol-fueled team-building trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, the cast of Bravo’s Southern Hospitality is back in Charleston working hard and playing harder. After receiving a humiliating tongue-lashing from their employer at Republic Garden & Lounge, Leva Bonaparte, at the conclusion of last week’s episode, our favorite VIP hostesses and bartenders are slowly regaining their footing. In this exclusive clip from next week’s episode (airing Monday, January 9 at 9PM ET on Bravo), we see the gang unwinding at The Griffon, the best pub in Charleston, when the evening takes an unexpected turn.
Bradley Carter, VIP host, personal trainer, and grillmaster, is confronted by the new Bravo power couple, bartender Will Kulp and VIP waiter Emmy Shariat. As they shout at one another, Emmy goes fast to the source of the conflict: “We are bringing up the fact that you and Reagan were fucking!” As a fellow Republic employee and presumably the girlfriend of someone else, Reagan observes. Bradley is quick to dismiss their claim of an Emmy as “just a rumor” In order to defend his girlfriend’s accusation, law student-to-be Will divides the accusation into three sections for Bradley and the group. “Initially, suspicion. Will tells a furious Bradley that he has a reputation in town for hitting on ladies with boyfriends. Will then goes to Reagan and says, “It’s common knowledge that you cheat on your boyfriends.”
He continues with determination: “Let’s go on to the second section, proof. Joe Bradley heard you guys making out in a treehouse in Atlanta. Joe, the VIP host, barely refutes Will’s accusations, but Will continues with his argument: “Third section, admission. Reagan told Emmy face-to-face, “If I fucked Bradley and he starts talking, I’ll ruin him.” Bradley continued to reject the charges in his confession: “Will is over here pretending to be a lawyer, but he’s missing something—an actual law degree.”
VIP Manager Maddi Reese becomes enraged when Joe denies telling her and the group about a potential relationship between Bradley and Reagan. VIP bartender TJ Dinch makes a perceptive comment in a confessional: “Why does Maddi care so much about someone else’s life? The fact that your ex-boyfriend cheated on you isn’t anything that someone is pressing down your neck about.” We must concur with him!
