Joe Bradley says it’s “hard to say” if his co-star Will Kulp will return to “Southern Hospitality” after skipping the season 3 reunion at the last minute.
In a March 6 interview with Decider, Bradley said he spoke to Kulp after the reunion taping and that the law student had been “super nervous” about facing the cast amid rumors that he had been unfaithful in his relationship with Emmy Sharrett.
Kulp and Sharrett have repeatedly denied the cheating rumors, with Sharrett telling Entertainment Tonight, “I know Will like the back of my hand. That man, he’s never cheated on me. He’s many things but a cheater is not one of them.”
Despite Sharrett’s defense of her man, Bradley admitted that he doesn’t really see a “future” for Kulp on “Southern Hospitality” given his no-show at the reunion. “Because the whole point of the reunion is to reconcile and move forward. And if he’s not willing to do that, I don’t know how we can move forward back in Charleston,” Bradley explained to Decider. “We’ll see what happens, though.”
The third season of “Southern Hospitality” starred Bradley, Kulp, Sharrett, TJ Dinch, Maddi Reese, Bradley Carter, Mia Alario, Grace Lilly, Michols Peña, Molly Moore, Lake Rucker, Austin Stephan and Republic owner Leva Bonaparte.
Joe Bradley Said Will Kulp Regretted Skipping the Reunion
Bradley said he considers Kulp a friend, but he questioned how his pal let Sharrett attend the reunion by herself. He noted that Kulp told him afterwards that he “regretted” skipping the season-ending sit-down.
“After the reunion I walk into the dressing room and he is like, ’Oh, I feel so bad. I feel like I could have done that. I just couldn’t handle it at the moment,’” Bradley shared. “I’m like, Bro, OK, so now you’re regretting doing it?’ … But to hear him say that he kind of regretted it was maybe a step forward.”
Of Sharrett, Bradley added that she’s “doing good” following the intense reunion.
Emmy Sharrett Said Will Kulp Did Not Quit ‘Southern Hospitality’
During the “Southern Hospitality” reunion, host Andy Cohen announced that Kulp showed up for the reunion, but at the last minute, he made a “conscious decision” to remain backstage. Cohen asked Sharrett why Kulp decided not to appear on camera.
“Will, you know he’s here to support me, he loves me, but I just don’t think that he can continue to entertain and engage with this group any longer to this capacity,” she explained.
When Cohen asked if Kulp was quitting the show, Sharrett replied, “He actually hasn’t said that, funny enough. But he just has said that he just can’t do this reunion.”
Cohen admitted he felt bad that Sharrett was forced to defend her relationship on her own, but she assured him she was good. “My head’s very clear today,” Sharrett told the Bravo host. “I’m very calm, cool and collected, you know. … I don’t want to diminish [Will’s] love for me just because he’s not here to say it himself.”
In the past, Cohen has not tolerated reunion skipping. When “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum Adrienne Maloof chose to skip the season 3 reunion, Cohen dramatically announced, “Adrienne Maloof’s final act as a Housewife is not showing up tonight”.
He has since softened his stance. Mary Cosby was invited back to “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” after missing a reunion, and Lisa Vanderpump has an open invitation back to RHOBH despite her no-show at the season 9 reunion taping.
