- Every single person in this fucking room
has talk shit about each other.
- Tonight, the gang from "Southern Hospitality"
reunites.
- If you don't like it, don't watch the tele, all right?
- If you don't like it, you can step out too, baby.
- What percent sure are you that he did hook up with Luann?
- 99%. - Fuck off.
- Still that 1%.
- I don't like that comment at all.
- After an intense season, whose actions aged like milk?
- I have a soft spot for Maddi, especially when she cries.
- Joe, she was fake crying. - It seems like you were acting.
- You have a vendetta against me,
but you keep acting like I have a vendetta against you.
You started the shitstorm in the first place.
- We're covering it all from break ups to makeups.
- I take Emmy and Will's relationship very seriously.
- I want to hear this. - Shut the hell up.
- Are you two still seeing each other?
- I started to get wandering eyes.
- Yeah, he didn't handle it well.
- To staff shakeups. Are you not the AGM anymore?
- No. - No.
- Oh, my God.
- The staff from Republic is clocking in.
- No, Joe, I-I expected more from you.
I really did.
- The "Southern Hospitality Reunion..."
* Are yo coming out tonight *
...Starts now. Hey, everybody.
Welcome to the "Southern Hospitality"
season two reunion.
I'm Andy Cohen, reuniting with the crew from Republic
and getting into all the mess and drama
for which it stands.
So without further ado, let's say hi
to the gang from Kings Street.
Hey, Leva. - Hi, Andy.
- I know you're usually the boss around here,
but are you okay with me taking the reins today?
- I am. - Okay, good.
I appreciate that.
Hey, Emmy. - Hello.
- Uh, you still helping Will get dressed
or was that just while he had his cast?
- Um, only on special occasions. - Oh, okay, nice.
Hey, Will. - Hi, how are you?
- Good. Hey, Bradley.
- Hi, how are you? - Good, how are you?
- Doing phenomenal. - Been in any alleys lately?
- No, not recently. - Okay.
- But maybe after the show. - Okay.
[screaming]
Hey, Grace Lilly. We feelin' wavey, baby?
- Always, baby. - Very good.
Hi, Lucia. - Hi, Andy.
- TJ, does the Republic Bar feel lonely
without Will? - I miss Will so much.
- Aw. - It's on.
I'm alone. - That's actually really sad.
- Are you kind of the bone collector of the group?
Do you know everything that's going on?
- It's a vault. - Yeah.
We need a volleyball expert, and we have Mia.
Hi, Mia. - Bump, set, spike, that's me.
- You got to be careful. I'm very worried about--
I got my two Bibles here, so-- - Yeah, that's all you need.
- Okay. Hey, Oisin.
How's business on OnlyFans? - Fantastic as always.
- Very good. - The milk is pure.
- Yes. Hey, Joe Bradley.
- Hey, Andy. Happy to be back here.
- Good.
- I just ask you one thing before you started?
Why do you call me Jokin' Joe?
- Just because it kind of rhymes.
- Yeah, well, I love it.
I don't know if I'm going to be joking as much today,
but I'm happy to be here. - Okay, good.
And last but not least, Maddi, how are you doing?
- I'm good. I'm good. - After a dramatic season,
how does it feel to see everyone today?
- It feels okay, yeah. - Good, all right.
With the help of James Kennedy, Maddi had to turn up the volume
on her DJ career this season, but instead found herself
spinning out about more Trevor rumors.
And as Maddi dropped a few bombshells of her own,
her friends began to suspect that some of her disses
didn't track. Watch.
- Do you know a kid named Trevor?
- Trevor, Maddi's boyfriend? - Maddi.
- Yeah, did y'all make out? - Yeah.
- Oh.
- Trevor laid out that whole night to me.
He told me everything that happened.
- Did you leave out the part that he was, like,
making out with her and, like, trying to grind on her?
- Fucking liar. Hell, no.
- Okay, jeez. - Fuck you off.
So serious, Trevor. Fuck you.
Obviously, Trevor would never do that in my workplace.
That's just like, how dumb are you?
- He was doing it in your workplace.
- The thing is-- - He kissed her
and cheated on you again. - No.
- Now she feels uncomfortable because she found out
y'all are dating.
- I don't give a fuck how this bitch feels.
- I literally called the girl, Sammy.
She was literally like, Brad and I--
they were setting us up.
- I'm the bitch that fights.
You're a fucking liar. Have a great day.
Get the fuck out of here!
I know everything, sweetheart.
Honey, I don't-- I don't know if you know,
but I was on a phone call with Trevor.
He was there for the whole thing,
and I've heard it right out of your mouth.
- You did? - So you were on the call
with Trevor and Sammy? - Yeah.
- She literally orchestrated the whole thing.
- You're walking away? - You can sit the fuck down.
Everyone fucking knows that about me.
I will fight to the death. We love fireworks.
[laughing]
- Okay, so you two broke up
a few weeks after filming.
What was the biggest reason for your breakup?
- I would say, like, lifestyle differences, like--
- Pedicab versus... - He doesn't do the pedicab--
- I got fired from pedicab. - Everyone's reaction to seeing
that Maddi and Trevor had broken up?
Grace, what did you think?
- I want her to be happy.
I know how much they love one another,
but it's caused so much stress on her
because of some of the people that are sitting here.
It's made it more difficult for her.
- Do you still see each other?
We still have a lease together, like at a house.
- You live together? - Well, I--
I spend a lot of time in the islands.
- Okay. - Which is the other house
that Oisin and I lived at. - Okay.
- So that's kind of my safe sanctuary kind of.
- Do you still hook up with him?
- I've seen him since the shows ended, totally.
- You've hooked up with him? - I've totally have, yeah.
- Well, Maddi and Joe, Addison from Cleveland said,
Maddi, why-why did you feel like you had to get defensive
when Joe, your bestie, was telling you about
Trevor kissing Sammy and had video proof
to back it up?
And, Joe, did you tell her the info to look out for her
or try to break her and Trevor up?
- I don't think Joe would ever protect
or, like, say nice things about Trevor, ever.
Like what? He has feelings for Mia.
He has feelings for her. He would never.
If anything, he's like their relationship's ending.
Thank God. Like--
- Joe, you were quicker to believe the rumor
than you were to Will. Like, you're like,
Oh, it's 100% true! This happened!
It happened. I'm not 99%, I'm 100%.
- He would never defend Trevor. - W-W-Will's not--
Will's not a cheater. Trevor is.
- Can I say something, though? It didn't bother you
that he was walking with that girl and saying like,
Oh, you're touching my dick and duh-duh-duh?
- Did you grab my penis, friend? What the fuck?
- I'm taking it again. Taking it again.
- To me, what I saw from that video was one,
Why is someone taking a video recording this,
blah, blah, blah? And I feel like he's like,
Are you trying to touch my dick?
Like, I feel like he was trying to be like...
- It kind of look like he was having fun.
[overlapping conversations]
- He was literally twerking on her.
- Mia, Emmy, your takeaways of those last few minutes
of the finale, do you see Maddi in a different light?
Is it no big deal?
- I think I'll see Maddi in a different light.
I think maybe in like ten years
you'll look back on this and realize,
I think we were all-- we're trying to show you.
- Yeah, I'm totally going to laugh about it, like yeah.
- Yeah, exactly. And I think that you're--
You're going to be like-- they said it
in a lot of horrendous ways, but we all kind of
hate Trevor for doing horrible shit to you
and putting you in horrible situations all the time.
- I-I've known Trevor since he was 17.
- We know. - We know.
- So I have a whole-- just like me and Will
know each other for a long time,
I've known Trevor for a long time,
so I know the single Trevor, dating Trevor,
this kind of Trevor, that kind of Trevor.
And I just, you know,
I don't think that you guys are a perfect match.
I don't think it's supposed to be this hard.
I don't think you're dating someone--
- 100%. - And Maddi, I-I do feel like,
you know, I don't want it to be like,
Oh, we all hate Trevor.
I just don't feel like Trevor was
and is what's best for you. And I feel like--
- Let her figure that on her own.
- Yes. - This is random.
But Kaitlin from Hoboken said,
Why did Maddi leave Republic with a shovel
to go confront Trevor about cheating at home?
The shovel is never mentioned or explained,
and I haven't stopped thinking about it.
- I know. I always said
to dig his grave and bury him.
I always said that. - Okay, so it was symbolic?
- Do you keep it under your bed?
- [Indistinct] the closest thing to the exit at Republic.
- It is still there. - We bring it out
with a bottle sometime. - Okay.
- So Bradley, Kendrick from Los Angeles wants to know
if you went looking for info on Trevor purposefully
because Maddi exposed you for the alley incident last season?
- Well, the alley thing is the whole lie.
That was proven, um, from her best friends,
Grace and Mikel.
- A guy seeing you getting your dick sucked?
No, because I don't know what your dick looked like.
- I didn't see it, so I can't back it.
- But no, I do not purposely go out of my way.
Like, I don't go to bed at night, like, Damn.
How can I get Maddi back? Like, no, I don't--
I don't care that much.
I was literally delivering information that I was given.
I did not go prying looking for more on it.
- I don't think he was just like the messenger.
- You think he was complicit? - Absolutely.
- Information was presented to me
and then I presented it to you.
- Yeah, but then you kept pushing and pushing
and pushing the narrative. - Because you didn't want
to talk to this girl and this girl--
if someone cheating on me-- - No, but that's what
you found out at the very end. I did talk to the girl.
- Right, and everything was just proven.
And everything you said about that whole moment
with-with her-- you talking to her on the phone,
you couldn't even get your story straight.
All you've done is lie this whole entire fucking time.
You have a vendetta against me.
But you keep acting like I have a vendetta against you.
You've started this shit storm in the first place.
- Why didn't you just tell everyone you were
on the call to begin with?
- One I didn't tell everyone because it's not my fight.
It's not my rumor. It's Trevor's.
- So why did you lie? - I didn't--
I didn't feel like I lied. I feel like I--
I didn't go to that dinner being like,
I just spoke on this because I was trying
to avoid confrontation.
- But when you presented it to Joe, it was like
the first time you had heard it.
- Well, she told Trevor she lied.
- I-I think that, you know, it's no secret that
I have a soft spot for Maddi, especially when she cries.
Most of the group has told me that Maddi will,
you know, manipulate me a lot.
And for the first time ever, I thought that maybe
part of that was-was true when you were crying to me.
- Mmm-hmm, I feel like I was going--
[laughter]
- Joe, she was fake crying. She was lying.
- That was not big crying, Will. - You were like, Oh, my God,
I just got a bombshell. - Fuck you!
- And you started crying. - If that was completely fake,
I think-- I'd think she'd be on, you know--
[overlapping chatter]
- It was crocodile tears! - Joe!
- No. - It seems like you're acting.
- I felt manipulative. - No, no.
- It was acting. - But you were on the call--
- No one has a meltdown like that.
- No, I feel like I-- no, but imagine-imagine--
- You were lying. You were lying.
- Lying about what? - Oh.
- You said, I just got this bombshell.
There's this call.
Coming up...
- How long did AGM last for you? Two weeks?
[overlapping chatter]
- Why, are you not the AGM anymore?
- You were on the call, so you didn't just get
the information. - No, I feel like I--
no, but imagine-imagine-- - You were lying.
You were lying. - Yes.
- Lying about what? - Oh.
- You were on the call. You didn't just get the--
- Yes, but no. - This wasn't a new bombshell.
- No. - Yeah, but I don't understand
who I'm lying to. Just like the group that--
- No, to Joe. - Joe, who you were crying to.
- Saying what?
- You said I just got this bombshell.
There's this call.
- I did just get this bombshell in Miami.
- I do think it's hard to watch that finale
and not think about how conniving and planned
that entire scenario with the phone call was.
And like, I've watched Maddi manipulate Joe
and manipulate us
and try to have our cake and eat it too, with us.
And she's constantly like spinning everything
and conniving everything into this big lie.
And it was nice to see her finally get caught.
- But she's not getting a lot of respect from y'all.
- That's why! - I will say
you have said multiple times, you're like,
why are you all fucked up? I'm sober, so I know
exactly what happened. - Exactly.
- And then she gets to write--
- And then she gets to write her own story.
- No, we're not going to say that.
- It's true. - She's using her sobriety
as a weapon, that's disgusting. No, that's not true.
- Not a weapon, but people will believe her in a situation.
- But that's not her using a weapon.
We should have respect for people
and be nice sometimes, and sometimes
we're not being nice and I don't like it.
- Do you, Maddi, given-- - I'm just being honest.
We can admit we're wrong and make better
decisions and choices.
But we have been hard on this woman.
- Okay, I want to switch gears.
This year, the lineup at Republic
looked very different.
Dramatic staff changes had everyone shaken,
strained and more stirred up than ever,
leaving a few people here with a glass half empty attitude.
Watch.
- Leva is on a complete power trip.
- Somebody just got fired for drinking alcohol in the truck.
I'm upset. I'm upset.
- About what? - Some of the hypocrisy
that you are showing us as a boss.
- Hypocrisy? - Employees have drank here
so many times. - Okay.
So who did I keep in here? Who is drinking back there?
- Me. - You are fired.
You're fired. Clock out, you're done.
- You're not going to fuck with me.
No, no you're not. - Mia, you're fired.
We're both fired. She's fired me.
- What happened? - She just fired me.
- Don't fire yourself.
There's nothing I can do for you when you break the rules.
- If there is any confusion about the rules now,
now it's crystal clear.
I have been really happy with you stepping in
to a Maddi role on certain nights,
like you do it seamlessly.
I want to see more of that.
I think that kind of like competitiveness
is so healthy in a work environment.
What I am giving you is the AGM position,
Assistant General Manager,
which is actually Maddi's manager.
- You want me to be in charge of everyone?
Holy shit.
- Leva, Donna from Indiana wants to know
why fire Lucia without giving her a verbal
or written warning first?
- So everyone who's hired here signs off on all the rules.
I mean, obviously, some things I'm aware
that I'm not going to catch everything,
so I'm never going to fire someone based on hearsay.
But she was drinking on camera.
- You're talking about on your security cameras.
That's my security cameras. - It's on your security cameras?
- Yeah, so at that point, she was like,
go with the person she was drinking with.
They did wait for me to get back into town
to let me know because they knew I'd be really upset
because I do care about her so much.
- What was your initial reaction?
- I mean, I'm fine with it now.
I'm thankful that I am in such a great place
with my child and myself, and I am thankful
for all the opportunities I have gotten.
- Do you regret firing her? - I mean, I hate losing her.
I was more-- I was almost more mad at her
because I couldn't fix it.
- Bravo Buddies on Twitter said, Mia, looking back,
what would you have said differently,
if anything, during your conversation with Leva
that led to your firing?
- Um, I honestly wouldn't have said anything differently.
I hated the tone that I said it to you,
and I don't regret anything that I said.
I do regret the way that I spoke to you.
It was inappropriate and I shouldn't have cursed at you.
- At The Bottoms on Twitter wants to know
how come Oisin is allowed to publicly promote
his OnlyFans while working with you,
yet the girls were reprimanded for twerking
on the boat last season and posting it on social?
- Listen, this stuff lives like in the world.
It's not a good look for me and I don't like it.
I don't-- - Is his thing
a good look for you? - I don't like it.
- No, no. - You don't?
- I don't like it at all.
If he wanted to grow in the company,
it wouldn't happen for me because I don't like it.
- Do you-- by the way, do you do full--
- Like, porn. - On OnlyFans,
are you like getting off on OnlyFans?
- I mean, it's-it's there for you to find out.
- Yes, yeah. - Yes.
Okay, then the answer's yes. Okay.
- But I-- but it's my body, my choice, right?
- Yeah, I have no judgement. - And I think that girls
should be able to do what they want, too.
- You know what I mean? - Oh, they can--
they can do what they want. They're not going to get fired,
but it's just they're not going to grow in my company.
I'm not a strip club.
- Emmy, Jennifer from Canada said you crushed it
when you had to fill in for Maddi the night she DJ'ed.
Looking back at the confessionals, uh,
what do you have to say about her basically saying
you're a crappy server and you're not good at your job?
- I mean, I just think Maddi might have been
projecting insecurities, but I genuinely didn't
take it to heart. I just--
- I felt like you could tell. - It wasn't insecurity.
It was feeling betrayed by a friend.
- You have to be Emmy's friend to expect friendship from her.
And you haven't done that, so I don't--
You getting all upset about it all of a sudden was kind of,
like, out of left field, because, you're like--
- What do you mean, I haven't been Emmy's friend?
I work with her every night. I see her--
- The way Emmy reacted to Maddi was out of left field.
- I think it speaks for itself too.
- Yeah, of course. - Why give Emmy the AGM job
over Joe or Maddi, who've been working for you longer?
Because Joe and Maddi have different strengths
that are not Emmy's. Those are different jobs.
I don't want them doing AGM. I want her doing AGM.
- If you watch it back, though, like--
if you recall from this season, from this year,
I was always in Emmy's corner for her to get promoted.
She was doing amazing this summer.
- Until it happened. - And-- no.
Because she's the best server. I honestly--
- Joe, you let it go, "I feel disrespected by Leva.
"She overlooked me for this position."
- Not this position. More of a promotion.
- That's what you said. That's what you said though.
- Was my concerns correct, though?
How long did AGM last for you? Two weeks?
- Because of what? [overlapping chatter]
- Why-- are you not the AGM anymore?
- No. - No.
- That was my concern. Emmy's our best seller.
She should not be AGM. [overlapping chatter]
- There's an explanation for everything right here.
[indistinct chatter]
- We opened a new space.
I don't like that comment at all.
We opened a new space. We asked several employees
to go down there to help us open those new spaces.
Emmy was-was told, listen, you're going to train for AGM,
you're going to train for VIP,
and we need you to go down the road to train.
She didn't want to go down the road to train.
She felt uncomfortable or overwhelmed or whatever.
And I said, "Listen, if you want AGM,
"and I ask you to move, you need to move
"and do what I need you to do." - Okay.
- And she lost that position. - Because she wanted my job.
- Now what are you doing?
- I wasn't very secure on going down the road
to be VIP manager when I thought I was AGM at Republic,
and just everything just got very confusing to me.
And I just felt like--
- You wanted to go on a ski trip, and you--
- Joe, it was the summer.
I had no ski trips I was going on.
- Okay. - You went on vacation,
like, twice a month. - Or Bahamas, whatever.
- Okay. Maddi, Kim from Brooklyn
wants to know why you tried to sabotage Emmy
by having her wear the wrong color dress.
- I mean, I obviously showed up
in the wrong color dress as well.
I made a mistake, but I feel like Emmy
was so quick to jump on that mistake and be like,
"Oh, she picked the wrong uniform, duh, duh, duh."
- I would take responsibility if someone was in trouble,
but no one was in trouble. - Wait, wait.
I love that. "I will take responsibility."
So when the time came for you to take responsibility
for telling me to wear--
that you told me to wear the wrong dress,
you didn't take any responsibility.
You sat there in front of Leva, and you go.
"She wore the wrong dress." - Where's Emmy?
- She had to run to go get the blue uniform.
- What is the status of your friendship?
- We still work together, and we're fine at work.
- Yeah. I really do miss our friendship. I do.
- I think we have a lot to discuss.
But honestly, I would love to, at some point,
you know, find trust in one another again
and have a friendship there.
- There was a really good friendship here.
It's hard for me to see that they're not getting along.
- Coming up... When I last saw you, Joe,
you were in the clubhouse with Luann.
TJ, what percent sure are you that he did hook up with Luann?
- We're back with more from the "Southern Hospitality" reunion.
I'm Andy Cohen.
With Charleston's chaotic dating scene,
an endless supply of Peter Pans,
it seems nearly impossible for a genuine,
lasting love connection to take flight on King Street.
Want to get into that dynamic for a second.
Show of hands, who here has hooked up
with someone in this room? - In this room?
- Yeah. - Wait, I mean--
- Yeah, raise your hand then. Yes.
- Mia, we've made out.
- We made out, but we didn't hook up.
- Um, other than Joe Bradley with Danielle,
did Brad, Grace, Maddi find yourselves interested
in any Bravolebrities at Bravocon?
- Mmm. - I think there's a--
- Brad, I feel like there was some ladies on you--
- Yeah, no, a lot of-- - --like white on rice.
- Definitely. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of the Housewives
I was taking a liking to, but I'm married.
I'm not getting into that. - Right. Yeah. No.
- But also, I think it's a hilarious timing.
Like, crossover. I saw Alex Propson,
the guy that was, like, with Danielle on "Winter House."
Like, Grace, you had, like, a little fire with him.
That would be a hilarious double date.
- Oh, yeah. - Look at her face.
- Bradley,
I heard that you and Jordan
from "Summer House: Martha's Vineyard"
kind of hit it off. - That's what I thought.
- I love Jordan. - I ship that.
- I would-- me too.
- See, I'm scared-- all of the guys that Jordan--
has gone after Jordan have gone down like the Titanic.
And I don't want to be on that ship.
[laughter] I don't know about--
I don't want to bark up that tree.
- Okay. T.J., we always hear about
how small of a town Charleston is.
Why do you think Sally thought she could get away with
making out with your roommate while dating Joe?
- She was playing both of them. She was telling them both that--
well, Gaston was very open and honest with her.
He was like, "This is casual. I want nothing."
And yes, he did know that he was about-- or she was about
to go on the date with Joe at your apartment.
But she was also telling Gaston
that nothing serious with Joe, it's all casual.
"He knows what's up. He knows we've been hooking up."
So I don't-- I don't know why she thought--
- Meanwhile, she was telling me she wanted to be
like, exclusive with me. She wants me to--
- She wanted to be your-- She wanted you to be
her date to-- - To a wedding, yeah.
- A wedding in which she was in the wedding.
- She took Gaston to the wedding.
[laughter]
- And now Gaston is dating Taylor from "Southern Charm."
And then Oisin banged Sally behind Republic.
- Dude, we were gonna get married.
- Oh... [laughter]
- In the back of a jeep, twisted like a pretzel.
- [multiple repeating] Three times.
- If this isn't Charleston, I don't know what is.
- Taylor from Canada wants to know,
Grace Lilly, how are you doing post Liam?
What are you enjoying most about single life?
- I am feeling like me again,
and it feels so good.
- Is anyone surprised by Grace and Liam's breakup?
- [multiple] No.
- I'm so happy she did it. - She's better than that.
She can do better than that. - Yeah, she's--
- I was just happy at how, like, she cut it off
and she really cut it off,
and I didn't think she was gonna do that.
I found him a little bit controlling,
and like, manipulative personally.
- Absolutely. - From what I saw.
So I was proud of her for that.
- What happened with your cat, Fergie?
- Fergie...
- Free Fergie. - Oh, bad subject?
- Fergie's still with the ex.
- Oh, I understand. - Yeah.
- Free Fergie. - No, no, no, it's okay.
- #FreeFergie. - Free Fergie.
Yeah, I just miss her. - Okay.
Bradley and Luci-- are you two still seeing each other?
- No, not anymore. - How long did that go?
- So after filming-- - Summer thing.
- Yeah. Yeah, it was a summer thing.
And then after filming wrapped, honestly,
I started to get wandering eyes,
and I started seeing a girl from a past--
past life of mine. - How did he handle it, Lucia?
- Yeah, he didn't handle it well.
It was more of me trying to get the information out, sort of.
And it was just an amicable separation.
But-- well, not separation. Back to friendship.
- Back to-- yeah, yeah. - Back to--
so we're nice, cordial, great, happy go lucky.
I would say we're great friends. - Yeah.
- And are you still dating this other person?
- No, I'm not. No. - Yeah, so, not surprised.
- It was a weight. Correct. - Um, Mia,
how is your relationship going with Troy?
- Fabulous. He's here in New York.
- Oh, great. - Yes, he's a fantastic guy.
I mean, to years-- - Seems like a great guy.
- Two years going through the fucking trenches.
I mean, I really deserve it, I feel like.
- Good for you. - Yes, thank you. He's fabulous.
- Is he moving to Charleston? Did he get the promotion?
- Yes, he actually did get a promotion.
It's, like, a territory thing,
so he's going to stay in Charlotte for a bit longer.
He's really trying to pull me up there,
but very hesitant. I love my Charleston people.
- Last season, you brought up on "Watch What Happens Live"
how Shep tried to kiss you while he was still with Taylor.
- Yes. - Did he ever try to pursue
anything now that he and Taylor are broken up?
- No, he's very quiet every time I come around now.
- Okay.
- I think he learned his lesson, maybe.
- T.J., how's your dating life? What's it like being--
- Horrible. - --being gay in Charleston?
- Is it horrible? - Yeah, it's, like, nonexistent.
You know, it's just a bunch of-- - Closeted.
- Closeted men. - I was going to say,
it seems like a bunch of straight guys who get drunk
and then start knocking on you. - They love that.
- T.J.-T.J. says that. - Andy, they, like, love T.J.
- I'm sure. - I don't, like go out--
I just told Will this story the other day.
But like, I literally went out last Saturday night,
haven't gone out a long time.
And I get put in a situation where, like,
this guy approaches me. He knows, like, who I am.
We all hang out all night
and he comes back to my apartment.
But like, it wasn't my, like-- ever my mode of going out,
being like, "Oh, I'm going to find this closeted man."
It just like-- - They just fall in your lap.
- It's just they-- they're like--
they're like a gnat, or like a moth to the flame.
- They're like a fly to shit. - I've had so many times
where T.J., like, doesn't even know.
And then afterwards, he's like,
"This guy just broke up with his girlfriend."
Or, "He just--" you know what I mean?
- I don't know if he turns them, but he has this--
- It's a curse. - Your aura, I think he--
- You know, when I was younger, it was, like, fun.
But as I've gotten older, like, I want to settle down.
I want to be with someone long term.
I don't like entertaining those situations
because they're not going to accumulate anything.
- Dead ends. Yes. Yes. Joe, what's the latest
on your relationship with Danielle from "Summer House?"
I know you said in a magazine
that you were kind of putting the brakes on it.
- Yeah. And I adore Danielle.
I, like-- not a negative thing to say about her.
I don't know if I'm the man that Danielle
deserves right now, and I want to become that man.
I just don't know-- - Okay.
- It might be-- - Why do you say that?
- It might be-- - "It's not you, it's me."
- I say it because I'm admitting my flaws.
I am-I am not the man that she deserves.
And it's the right girl at the wrong time.
- So you guys, like-- - Well, when I last saw you,
Joe, you were in the clubhouse with Luann,
and I have to say, like, there was some chemistry there.
Great to see you. Have the two of you met?
- No. - Not yet.
- Never? - We just met.
- Okay. - Charming.
Very ch-- I love Southern boys.
- How old are you, Jokin' Joe Bradley?
- 28 and a half. - Oh, my God,
you're too young for me. - I like older women.
But [indistinct] - Oh...
- I think you say 28 and a half--
if you say the half, it's probably--
- 28 and a half. That makes it better.
- What? Don't say 28-- no, never say that.
Never say that.
- Then I read in the paper the next day,
or a couple of days later,
that you guys were canoodling in a bar.
I have to ask if anything happened there.
- I love the MILFs. I love the MILFs.
I'm the mayor of MILF City at Republic, and Luann also--
- Mommy issues. - He's MILF hungry.
- Well, did you sleep with Luann?
- This is the truth. Me and Luann got a drink,
and we hit it off, just like I--
you guys probably thought we would on "Watch What Happens,"
and she's incredible. I probably was too flirtatious
with her for how soon I was-- you know,
kind of told Danielle we're kind of taking a break.
- Well Danielle was here, too. - She was present.
- She seemed engaged with you. - She was engaged.
She knows that I'm a flirty guy, that I'm playful.
- Joe, I think you should be honest.
- I did cross the line at the hotel,
but I did not kiss her. We did not hook up.
- Are you 99% sure you didn't hook up?
- No, we did not. - Didn't go in the bathroom?
- Wait, 99%? - What do you mean bathroom?
We didn't go by the dumpster. [overlapping chatter]
- Hold on. What are you saying?
- I think you should be honest. - I did not hook up with Luann.
Like, I was telling you that I was, like, playfully,
like, hanging outside the bar, and that's fucking it.
Yeah? Yeah.
Like, why would you even, like, insinuate that?
- What do you know that we don't know?
- That's a vault. - It is a vault, like--
- Nothing happened.
- Okay, well, just-- - I mean, I think TJ--
- I think he's boiling right now.
[overlapping chatter]
- He looks like he's about to boil over.
- He really is, right? - Let him do it.
- He looks like a hot kettle. - He really does.
- What percent sure are you that he did hook up with Luann?
- 99. - Oh, my God.
- There's still that 1%. [laughter]
- Fuck off.
- Oisin, you were in the audience.
- I was, yeah. I was observing all of it, wasn't I?
- And what did you think was going on?
- I thought-I thought Luann is an amazing woman,
a little flirtatious herself, might I add, you know?
And I-I think that that's maybe where they got caught up.
Like, I mean, I was there at the bar, too,
and Danielle was there. We were all--
we were all having a great time.
You know, the vibes were high, so--
- I'm still hung up on TJ saying there was a 99% chance.
- Yeah. Joe, just--
- You know what? Fuck TJ. [indistinct]
- Joe, just admit it. - You're so guilty right now.
[laughter] I never--
- No, I'm not though. I'm not.
- This is as uncomfortable as I've seen you all night,
even as your friendships have been on the ropes.
- You're a terrible liar. - Terrible liar.
- Like I thought you would be better.
- Joe is not a good liar at all. - Nope.
- No, he's not. - Wow.
- Well, you know what I'm good at?
- Changing the subject. - Yep.
- All right, let's take a break. We'll be right back.
Coming up...
- Sweetheart, if you don't like it,
don't watch the telly, all right?
That's all I can say. - If you don't like it,
you can step out too, baby.
- Girl, you're closest to the door. It's right there.
- Joe, why did you say you have no faith
in Will and Emmy's relationship? - Yes, Joe, I'd love to hear it.
- Back with the gang from "Southern Hospitality."
Well, this season, the Republic crew
tried to unwind and let loose on a group trip to Miami.
But a group text about Maddi and a milkman meltdown
left everyone with a weird taste in their mouths.
Or maybe that was the butt shots. Watch.
[cheering]
[indistinct yelling and cheering]
- Bradley, let's go!
[cheering]
- So bad.
- What the fuck? - You didn't do shit, girl.
What are you-- just, like, fucking fixing
your face the whole time. Come on.
- Fuck you, girl. - Shut up.
- What the fuck happened? - You don't even work here.
To go home. You ain't got no job, girl.
- Oisin puts on this big, tough guy thing.
He's a pussy.
- My low of the trip was probably finding out
that Joe showed our group text message to Maddi.
- Yeah, that's definitely my low.
That's fucked up, dude.
- Joe's my friend. That's why he showed me
what you guys are saying behind my back.
- Did he show you in the group message
where he calls you a narcissist?
You want to talk about talking shit and being mean, Joe?
We got receipts and receipts and receipts of you doing it.
- You guys are just mad that Joe
is good enough of a friend to show me it.
- I wanted to be someone she could talk to,
and I vocalized concern to a group chat.
I understand she doesn't like that,
but for you then to show her that Joe,
you should have never shown her that.
- I didn't have bad intentions by doing it.
- I don't know why you can't get it through your fucking mind,
but Joe Bradley showed me this group chat
and I was sitting there crying about it.
I'm Maddi Reece, bitch, and I look forward
to never having to see you again.
[laughter]
- So Oisin, you wanted the group--
you wanted the trip to be a bonding experience
for the group. Watching the show back,
Why did you have such a huge reaction
towards Mia on the volleyball court?
- I-- obviously, you know-- I've made up with the girls,
and I-and I again, I apologized again
for how I acted, but at the end of the day,
I-I just reacted, is what I did.
And I wasn't thinking at all. - So, Mia, did you feel like
Oisin's apology to you was genuine?
- Yes, I can tell a sincere apology,
but I do have a little bit of beef with you
because I remember you sitting right here on this couch--
- I was gonna ask about that. - --and saying
that you had to put us in our place.
And I'm wondering what place is that?
- And you know how Mia can get.
You know, I think the girls were just talking about a shite,
and I had to, you know, put them in their place.
The thing is, like,
I barely knew you guys, right? At this time, right?
- I know, but this is a couple of months later.
- This was two weeks ago. - I know. So my--
I'm going to speak right now. - Yeah, do it.
- I was a-- I barely knew you girls,
and all I know about you is that-- all I've seen
is you girls just yapping on about everyone else
and their personal lives. - Oh, really?
- But please, I don't know who you are,
and I-and I-- [overlapping chatter]
Can I be accountable for me?
- You're-- you are as close to a caveman as--
- As I've ever seen.
- I-I'm sorry for how I acted that day on the beach.
- Of course, no-- - But how I am right now,
and who you are, is-- - So you had to put us
in our place two weeks ago, is what I'm trying to clarify.
- If you don't like it, don't watch the telly,
all right? Know what I mean? - If you don't--
if you don't like it, you can step out, too, baby!
- You're closer to the door, it's right there!
- She just said don't watch :Watch What Happens Live,"
y'all. - Woo, daddy, how cute of you.
- The door's right there. - I-- mmm, mm-hmm.
- Fuck me, what do you want to do?
You want to have an argument here, like--
I'm not comin' at ya! You're comin' at me.
- No, I-- I'm just asking what was the clarification
on putting us in our place? What does that mean?
To Oisin, on putting Mia and Lucia in their place?
Clarify on that, is what I'm asking.
- Where's their place? Where's their place?
- Where's their place?
- What-what place? - When you say--
- Like a playhouse... - "Put them in their place,"
where's their place? - I meant just like,
check them on their attitude and how what you're saying--
- What's your attitude? What's your attitude?
- My attitude is I don't like how you girls very much attack
all the time.
- Okay, let's change gears. A lot of drama resulted
from Joe showing Maddi the group chat.
Joe, do you regret showing Maddi the, uh, the group text?
- My intentions of what I showed her,
went about it completely the wrong way.
I was showing it out of-- out of concern.
I wasn't like, "Look at everyone talking shit about you!"
- So then did-- - But did you read the whole--
- But the-the-- - The thing is, you guys are--
- The amount-- - I'm not gonna talk if--
- The amount-- - One person talk at a time.
- The amount of shit that you-- that we talk in that group text,
imagine if you're not in the group text.
When you see a group text and people are saying your name,
and you guys have not been friends with her
for so long... - It's her fault.
It's her fault. - But what we were talking about
at that very moment was something that
was out of concern, was something that
we were worried about, and if you read the whole thing,
we were very emotional. We were all sad.
- I will say that a few staff brought it to my attention
that they were just worried about you,
and they said the nicest things about you.
Emmy was-- was the person that I actually had a conversation
with because she has struggled with some things, and she just
wanted to check on you and make sure Trevor wasn't,
like, getting in your head, or something.
From what I heard, the concern was genuine.
- At the moment when I showed it,
it was-- it was out of concern.
Yes, like, I should never have, like, showed it
in that manner. I was trying to express
my concern about Maddi, because you were very sad
and down low that night. We had a lot of emotions.
And, you know what? Like, that-- I should never
have, like, shown the group text because at that point,
you guys weren't that close-- - Is that why you tried
to blame it on Emmy? - Oh yeah, did we forget
the part-- uh, this is very important, actually.
- Blame what on you? - After this conversation
went down between Maddi and Joe,
Joe then spent the next fucking week
trying to gaslight me-- I will pull it up right now.
- Week? - Yes!
- Yes. - Gaslighting me,
gaslighting him, her, him, and him.
- Mm-hmm. - Saying "Emmy,
"last Saturday night I think you were too drunk,
"and you showed Maddi the group chat."
- Yeah. - Well that's what--
that's what Maddi told me. - Shut up. Shut up.
- I did not say that. - No she did not.
- I did not say that. I did not say that.
- And-- - Shut up!
- He-- shut up. And he gaslit the entire group chat,
trying to say that I was really drunk,
and I somehow from two months ago,
when this occurred-- - You think I made that up?
- Yes! - Yes!
- If you're so proud for sticking up for Maddi,
why'd you blame someone else for doing it?
- You lied! - Because she was telling me
that you guys had a conversation,
that you were upset-- - Why blame someone else?
- We did have a conversation. - If you did the right thing,
why blame someone else? - She confided in you,
and you told us-- - All right, um...
[overlapping chatter] - You were playing both sides,
girl, you were playing both sides.
- You still can't tell the truth.
- Let's move on.
Joe, did you and Maddi date?
- Me and Maddi have never dated. I think that, you know...
I-I-- - Like, you guys--
- Did you have a date? - You guys were kissin'.
- They had a moment. I don't think
they had a date, though. - Yeah.
- I would like to hear from TJ.
- As we see, I didn't know this,
but you and Trevor broke up three weeks after...
- Mm-hmm. - The 4th of July party.
- Mm-hmm.
- Was it because you made out with Joe,
and he found out? Or is that, like, still a secret?
- Oh, no, no. I-- He knows.
- When did you make out with Joe?
- Like... [overlapping murmuring]
- I think it-- I think-- - A month after filming.
- Ehh... - Something like that.
[overlapping chatter] - It was July 16th.
- A week after you and Trevor broke up.
- July 16th? - Yes.
- Why do you know that? - Don't ask me why I know shit.
- I feel like-- - So the 16th would be
12 days after the July 4th party
which would be 12 days after filming,
which is less than three weeks. - All right, mathematician,
you're gonna be a great lawyer.
- Okay, all right.
Let's take a break. We'll be right back.
Coming up... - I was so disappointed, Joe.
**
[sniffling]
- And, we're back.
Here with the gang from Republic.
Well, Will became Charleston's answer
to Elle Woods when he decided to enroll in law school,
and with Emmy's steadfast support,
the future looked bright for Republic's golden couple,
but this season, they struggled to
wash their hands of a certain bathroom cheating rumor,
one their so-called friends weren't afraid to rinse,
repeat all over town. Take a look.
- Pants, when, like-- [snickering]
You're not supposed to laugh when you look at it.
I just lie there, and she does all the fuckin' work.
- I've got some dirt on that boy.
And... he's been misbehavin'.
- Will did something on boy's night
that I thought was not very cool.
- What'd he do? - He fuckin' made out
with some girl. [laughing]
- What?!
- The one thing I don't stand for
is, like, people, like, fuckin' around on other people.
- All I know is that will is a bad drunk.
When he gets to that level, he is not exactly
the most well-behaved guy.
- You were the one person
that could have come in and just snuffed out that flame
in two seconds.
- Two girls that were in the apartment.
I actually happened to know one of them.
I said "Was Will Kulp acting inappropriate
"in any way with a girl that night?"
She said, "I definitely did see them kiss."
- Mia is not being my friend right now.
He would come clean to me immediately.
- Bullshit. It's bullshit.
- Like, Mia, who the fuck are you
to give me advice on relationships.
She is dating two men always at once,
and she never wants to admit it.
- And misery loves company.
- I love Mia, and I understand it.
She was looking out for me. But at the end of the day,
I will always have Will's back.
Period.
- All right, let's get into it.
Uh, IMonica on Twitter said, "Will, since you keep denying
"that you cheated, can you explain why
"it was okay for you and another girl
"who your girlfriend doesn't know, by the way,
"to go into the bathroom alone to talk?
"Would you be bothered if it was the other way around?"
- You know, at the beginning of the summer...
within, like, a five-day span, I-- like, buried my grandmother,
had shoulder surgery, lost my best friend
who was like a brother to me, essentially lost my job as well,
and, you know, it was-- it was horrible.
You know, I was doing a lot of drinkin' and cryin',
and being emotional, and, you know,
I went out with a-- to a late night and met--
you know, Oisin for the first time,
and tried to have a good time,
but when we got back to the apartment, the--
the antics in the apartment are what you can imagine
if you've seen these two guys together.
And they're kinda douchebags together,
and crying in front of them is not, like...
I was honestly afraid that I was gonna
be made fun of for crying. - Yeah.
- I think it's important who this girl was.
- Yes. - It's also important that
there was three other girls-- - It's very important!
- It's also-- - 'Cause I'm important--
- That's the whole thing. Well, this girl...
used to date Will's friend that just passed away.
- Literally two weeks before. - And they were sharing
a moment together. - That's very important.
- That's the most important part of all of this.
- Okay, okay. - It's also, like,
if you're gonna-- - No, the kicker--
there's a-- - If you're so sad,
why aren't you crying to Emmy? - No, okay--
- Why aren't you going to your girlfriend?
- I was. - He has.
- I was crying to everyone here.
- He had been crying to me for-for weeks.
- Except the people that aren't my friends.
I was crying to Bradley the night before--
- Joe, you remember-- [overlapping chatter]
- You guys! You guys.
- One at a time, or no one's gonna...
- Yeah.
[sighing] - NewSeasonTree said,
uh, on Twitter, "Do you think Emmy
"chose not to believe the cheating rumors
"against Will because of the potential lifestyle
"Will can provide her as a lawyer?"
[laughing] - I think...
that Emmy could do just fine on her own.
- Yeah. - It seems like it. Yeah.
- If there was any gold to dig, then she'd be diggin',
but there ain't any. - You want an investment?
[laughing] - I was gonna say,
it seems like-- - Well, you were workin'!
- It seems like the power structure
is her right now. - Well, I-I--
- She's making more money than any of us, yeah.
- Yes. - Michaela from California said,
"Emmy, please explain how Mia was being a bad friend
"by exposing your boyfriend's extracurricular activities."
- I just felt like Mia might have been channeling
a lot of her own, maybe personal experiences
between her or maybe with-- that some of her friends have had.
So it felt kind of like...
you weren't hearing what I was saying.
It felt like... - You're dismissed?
- I was dismissed. - I mean, I don't want you
to think that I was being dismissive towards you.
I felt you were being dismissive towards what I was saying
to you. I thought that you immediately in the moment--
there wasn't even a second in between.
- I'm not-- I don't-- I don't believe it.
I'm just-- I'm just--
- Emmy. - Mia.
I don't believe it. - Emmy, this is crazy!
You dismissed what I said to you,
you were very quick to not take a step back
and listen. I didn't want you to, you know,
my prerogative wasn't you being like,
"Oh, I'm breaking up with Will right now!
"This is over, I'll leave you!"
I just wanted you to take a step back,
hear what I was saying to you, hear the information
that I was giving to you. It didn't seem like
you were hearing it. - Will, how long have you been
in law school?
- Since August. - Okay.
- Like, right at the end of the summer, I left.
- So far, so good. - It's been great, honestly.
- Good! - It's-it's--
- It's nice missing him, and when I don't have him,
I hang out with TJ. [chuckling]
- Joe, why did you say you have no faith
in Will and Emmy's relationship? - Yes, Joe.
I'd love to hear this. [overlapping chatter]
Shh, I wanna hear this. - This is the thing.
- Yeah, what is the thing? - You two,
I've been on trips with you, I've seen you,
how you act to her a lot, especially when you're drunk.
It's not fuckin' perfect. And all the time that--
- Is it-- hold on! There's a difference
between a relationship not being perfect
and you saying you have no faith in it.
- Yeah.
- I mean, I literally...
I'm...
I was so disappointed, Joe.
[sniffling]
Fuck.
- Well, Em, you're not the only--
- No, Joe, seeing Maddi saying shit about me
didn't phase me, like, at all.
Like, I understood, we had issues.
But Joe, I-- I expected more from you.
I-I really did.
And you...
and you just...
- But what did you expect? Him to be like...
- No, but, like, Joe, like,
I just... I had more faith in you,
like, I thought you'd be-- you were my number one rooter
until, like, I watched even Oisin defend me, like...
Joe, why-- - Oh, a better promotion?
- Joe, it was-- - It was a hor--
it wasn't the right move for you.
- About the promotion? About their relationship?
About whether Will hooked up? - Why would you treat me
like that? - I-I-- and you know what,
Emmy? I'm still your biggest supporter and your biggest fan,
and-- - What?
- I was-- I-- - He is, I--
He is. - I really am, and, Emmy,
I wanna cry right now too, and, you know what? I have.
I like to cry behind closed doors
and be the tough guy, but so does Will.
And Will has cried on my shoulder,
I've cried on his. Will you look at me
while I'm trying to apologize to you, please?
- I'll try. - Okay, 'cause, like,
Jesus Christ.
Like, the finale, I tried to apologize,
and you say, "You're not my brother."
- You're just lots of words, and not a lot of actions.
Lots of words, words, words. - Well, how am I supposed
to have actions if you won't listen to me?
- Just so sick of the words, I'm so sick of them.
- Okay, so say what you're gonna say.
- All I'm saying is that, we do have a bond,
me and you, like, we do. And even though
you're at law school,
and everything we've gone through,
what we just watched, what we lived,
I don't want our friendship to be over.
I could easily walk away from this, and, like,
not talk to you, but, I would still love to...
you know, mend our relationship. - Why should I be your friend?
After everything that's happened this summer,
after everything that you've done
to my girlfriend, to my friends...
- Relationship. - To, like,
all of your friendships here, why should I be your friend?
You've shown me absolutely no reason
that I should be your friend, other than you just saying,
"Well, we should be friends. I really care about you."
Because that's good. Like, that's nice to hear,
but it doesn't do anything for me.
It's like a toxic relationship
where you're just getting back together with your ex
again and again, because you say you love each other,
but it's just not working.
- Maybe I-- maybe we should part ways.
I'm here if you wanna be friends again, that's fine.
I have enough friends. I have plenty of friends.
- Wow! That's not where I thought this was going.
- I don't wanna beg for your friendship anymore.
- Why should I be your friend?
You've shown me absolutely no reason that I should
be your friend. - I have enough friends.
I have plenty of friends. - Wow!
That's not where I thought this was going.
[overlapping chatter] - The reason why I'm saying
negative things is because you hurt me.
- I regret talking to Aria, I-I regret--
- Sounds like you've doubled down on everything tonight.
- Yes! - Yes.
- I'm trying to express how I--
the reasons why I've said things.
- Okay. - But one thing I will say,
I do care about these two. I've never rooted against
their relationship. - You did.
- I've never rooted against Emmy and her promotion.
I've said, I expressed my concerns about
where the relationship was going, and, like,
I didn't think that promotion
was the right move for her. Which it wasn't.
- You're just insanely un-self-aware, Joe.
Just insanely un-self-aware. - Y'all are really just...
tryin' to attack. - I know Joe is a really
good guy at heart, like, I really know that about him.
And I think that Joe, unfortunately, puts himself
in positions where he does try to keep everyone
at an even keel, and he does like to spread it thin.
I think he puts himself in a corner. That--
that's his own position what he-- who he is.
- Are you hearing that being a people-pleaser
isn't working for you? - At all.
- I think I need to shut-- I think I need to shut off
the people-pleaser thing when I clock out of Republic.
- All the time. - All the time.
- You're spreading yourself
too thin. - I think it works
for my career, but it doesn't work
with my friend groups.
- That's fair. [overlapping chatter]
All right. TJ, how can, uh,
Joe be a better friend to everyone,
and not constantly try to be liked by everyone?
- I just think that you need to be honest,
and... worry about pleasing yourself
and you being happy first. Because right now,
you're trying to make everyone happy,
and it's not working.
At all. Maybe spend some time alone, and...
sober. - That's what I said to you
on the rooftop, yeah.
- Emmy, you're crying. - Yeah.
I was, yes. - Why?
- I mean, this was...
it was really hard to watch everything.
I wish that, you know, some things would have
been said differently, and I wish...
a lot of things, but-- - This is hard,
because I feel like...
we're so close, and our families are close,
and I, like, you know, everyone's just yelling,
and I-- I see all their point of views, but, it's...
- You know me better. - Yeah, and it's hard.
It is hard. Because I know you don't mean it, but,
you do it, and...
we just-- - I spread myself too thin,
and I think I drown all my, like, insecurities
and my problems with my friends, my family,
and internally, and I drown myself at work
in trying to get everyone to like me,
and there's collateral damage with that, and I think--
- Our friendship-- our friendship has, like,
severely suffered, I think. - That's what I apologize for.
- Really? - Yeah, 100%. I mean, I--
- How long have you two been friends?
- He was-- he was the reason-- he was the reason I'm here
right now. - Yeah.
- Wow. - TJ kinda brought
everyone together. - Yes.
- He's the-- he's the glue. He's the glue.
- Uh, Leva, before we end it,
what advice do you have for everyone here,
as they try to move forward in their relationships?
- I think the friendships here are so real,
and they're so rare. You know, the older you get,
friends, you lose 'em. You know what I mean?
So it's important to work on the friendships you do have
when you're young, and the ones that, like,
give you grace, you grow together.
So, like, I would like them all to work it out, really.
And they're all great at what they do,
you know what I mean? Just say the things
you have to say that are hard to say,
and work it out.
- Well, one thing is clear that I can tell,
is that there is a lot of love in this group,
and in this room, and that's--
and it's why I hope you all come out of today better.
And before we go, I thought we could celebrate
with everyone's drink of choice,
butt shots. [laughing]
Uh, I am kidding, about the butts at least,
but we are having shots.
Maddi, we have water for you.
Oisin, I bet you have a great toast
just waiting in the wings. - I do, I got a couple out.
- Okay, give me a good one. - Um, so here's to
our noble selves, and to the legions
that admire us. - Cheers!
[overlapping cheers]
- Raise your glass to an epic season.
Cheers. I wanna thank the gang from "Southern Hospitality"
for being here. For more on "Southern Hospitality,"
