Emmy Sharrett is “110 percent” certain that her boyfriend Will Kulp didn’t cheat on her, revealed what it would take for her to leave him, and teased their potential wedding plans.
In a trailer for the new season of Southern Hospitality, accusations surfaced that Will allegedly slept with “multiple people” while he was away during his first year of law school. Castmates also claimed he badmouthed her when he was drinking, allegedly stating that Emmy wasn’t “fun” anymore because she stopped drinking.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Emmy shared that she’s still set on tying the knot with Will despite the cheating rumors.
“Will has 110 percent been faithful to me,” said the 26-year-old. “I do not believe Will cheated on me at all for one second.”
She also slammed the “narrative” that Emmy is “so dead set on being a lawyer’s wife that I don’t care if Will cheats on me.”
“I would dump Will in two seconds if he cheated on me, gone goodbye. I will not be disrespected,” she said. “Do it once, I will warn you. Do it again, I’ll break up with you and I won’t look back. And that’s how I’ve always been.”
According to Emmy, she has “very high standards” due to her parents’ “beautiful marriage,” and she’s prepared to leave the relationship if Will doesn’t meet these standards.
Emmy also shared that she’s the “breadwinner” right now, as Will is “tens of hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt” amid his second year of law school.
As for the comments Will made about her, Emmy said, “I knew about what Will had done already, and I don’t think people knew I knew because I never talked to my friends about it … A lot of it is also being exaggerated, as you can imagine.”
Emmy claimed Will was “stressed out” before exams when he made the comments, and he had just undergone surgery for a broken ankle.
“You take it out on the people closest to you and you say stuff you don’t mean because you’re avoiding the reality of what’s really causing your pain in your life, which for him at the time was law school,” she said. “Will and I had our own conversation about it where he was incredibly apologetic and embarrassed, and he knew it was inappropriate.”
Emmy asserted that what Will actually said was “not as crazy and as bad” as it will appear on the show.
“If Will was living this happy, luxurious life where he was a bachelor, making all this money and wasn’t struggling with his mental health, struggling in law school, not doing well [and] in chronic pain — if he was in a good place and this happened [it’d be a] different story,” she continued. “But the context of [it] — I [had just] nursed Will for weeks and I know exactly what he was going through and his mental state. So I have a lot of understanding and empathy for it.”
“Do I condone it? No. Was it unacceptable? Yes. But nobody’s perfect and we all make mistakes,” said Emmy, who explained that she overlooked his comments.
She also plans on saying yes when he proposes.
“Will has a three-year plan because he’s in school, so it only makes sense to then build a plan off of that as far as our relationship goes,” said the star. “Realistically this would be the year that he would propose.”
According to the plan, after Will graduates law school in 2026, he’ll then take the bar exam that summer.
“Probably summer [or] fall of 2026 is probably when we would have a wedding. It just makes sense,” she said. “We’ve been dating for three years, so it’ll be four years in October. So it’s a long time. So it’s not like this is crazy out of the blue.”
She’s expecting the ring “by the end of this year.”
“It would just make the most sense, but I always say that’s between Will and my dad,” Emmy shared. “Plans always change.”
