Bradley Carter is addressing Leva Bonaparte‘s drama with the Southern Hospitality cast, specifically her alleged feuds with Joe Bradley and TJ Dinch.
Just over a month after Leva, 47, unfollowed Joe, 30, and TJ, 30, and seemingly called them “f*cking losers” as they focused on endeavors outside of her Charleston hotspot, Republic Garden & Lounge nightclub, Bradley, 29, spoke of “growing pains” and shared his thoughts about a potential fifth season of the Bravo reality show.
“I think, from my experience, sometimes when you are growing, there are some growing pains and you can run into some people that are supportive, and maybe some people that aren’t so supportive,” Bradley told Us Weekly on August 22.
As Southern Hospitality fans may have seen, Leva’s unfollow happened around the time that Joe left Republic for another hospitality group and TJ announced the expansion of his gourmet hot dog company, Sir Wieners.
In addition to promoting his company in an Instagram post at the time, TJ hinted that Leva was attempting to stunt his professional growth as he admitted he “let someone convince me that I needed them for my dreams to become reality.”
Although Bradley didn’t mention Joe or TJ by name, he insisted he’d always felt supported by Leva.
“I’ve never had an experience where Leva didn’t support me, but sometimes people have their priorities, and they’re just a little bit different than theirs, so. I think you will see all of that play out if we go into another season of Southern Hospitality,” he noted.
In recent weeks, season five has seemed to be up in the air, with rumblings of a cast shakeup, including reports of Leva’s exit. However, when Reality Blurb spoke to an insider about the buzz, they insisted the show would be back.
”The show is going to see some cast members fired, some still there, and a fresh look that fans will not see coming,” they shared.
Looking ahead to a possible new season, Bradley echoed the sentiments, saying that fans should be “hopeful.”
“I definitely think we should be hopeful. I think that there’s a lot more going on than you guys know. I cannot confirm season 5, but I’m not going to say that it’s off the table. We have a lot going on in Charleston,” he stated.
While he also told Us Weekly that “cameras have not been rolling” thus far, Bradley added that the cast was “in a better place than where [they] were” amid season four.
“I feel like the cast is coming together. Some people are still on the outside, and some are on the inside. Hopefully we get a season 5 so you can find out,” he added.
