Leva Bonaparte has confirmed her exit from Southern Hospitality following falling-outs with Joe Bradley and TJ Dinch.
Months after Joe, 31, joined a “new” hospitality group with connections to Southern Charm stars Craig Conover, 37, and Austen Kroll, 39, and TJ, 30, shaded someone who attempted to stifle the growth of his hot dog business, Sir Weiners, leading Leva, 47, to seemingly slam them as “fcking losers,” Leva addressed her status with Bravo.
“Are you at [Bravo Fan Fest] in Charleston this weekend?” someone asked her on Threads.
“I live here yes. No I asked bravo to kindly release of their roster!” Leva replied. “I’m moving on to a new chapter of my life! Appreciated my time there but it’s no longer serving me … new projects on the horizon!”
In August, amid swirling rumors about Leva’s estrangement from the Southern Hospitality cast, Bradley Carter, 29, confirmed “growing pains” during an interview with Us Weekly.
“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.
He also said he was “hopeful” for a fifth season.
“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 teased.
Weeks later, Maddi Reese, 29, and Michols Peña, 23, spoke to Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea about what a potential fifth season would look like.
“I feel like since we’re not at Republic anymore, it would kind of be looking at a different direction of our lives and what we’re doing outside of that,” Maddi shared. “At the end of the day, we all have things that are going on, and we’re all growing and starting new chapters. I’ve worked at Republic since I was 19, so 10 years of my life, and I just feel like there’s time to grow and to enter new chapters.”
“I feel the same,” Michols agreed. “Like, for me, I’ve done my life for six years so I’m like, it’s time to put the bottle down. But yeah, I’m happy. I’m excited for everybody to see if we happen to come back.”
