Which Bravolebs did the Southern Hospitality cast reach out to for reunion advice?
Emmy Sharrett
When speaking with BravoTV.com moments before the reunion, Emmy Sharrett revealed she was “excited” and a “little nervous” about the group’s first reunion. She also mentioned that she talked to Southern Charm’s Madison LeCroy, Summer House’s Ciara Miller, and her boss, Leva, for some advice, noting that “they were all very helpful.”
As for where Emmy stands with her castmates, she kept it sweet by saying, “I’m professional with everyone at work.”
Joe Bradley, Bradley Carter, and Will Kulp
The Republic trio, aka Joe Bradley, Bradley Carter, and Will Kulp, also shared the same feelings of “excitement” heading into the final sit-down of the season. However, Will managed to seek positive reinforcement from Austen Kroll to help shake off some nerves. “I asked Austen for some advice when I saw him in New York a few weeks ago,” he said.
Oisin O’Neill
Southern Hospitlaity’s rookie Oisin O’Neill made quite an impact on Season 2, and he plans to do the same on the reunion, revealing that he was “fully twerked” to reunite with the cast. To prepare for his first time in the Clubhouse, Oisin shared that he conversed with Vanderpump Rules’ Scheana Shay and Brock Davies, who told him to “enjoy the moment and take it all in.”
Maddi Reese
VIP manager and DJ Maddi Reese had a different take on her first reunion appearance, as she admitted to being “anxious” to confront the group. Unfortunately, she forgot to contact any Bravolebs for advice, but did disclose that she regrets not contacting Olivia Flowers for tips “on how to prepare and destress.”
Grace Lilly
Queen of “Wavy Baby,” Grace Lilly, admitted that she was “ready” to face everyone, as they “have so much to talk about” for their first reunion. Like her BFF Maddi, Grace also failed to solicit words of encouragement from anyone.
Who was the last person the Southern Hospitality cast texted before the reunion?
Sure, the Republic crew may have ups and downs in their friendships, but they always stay in contact. Emmy revealed that the last people she texted with were Will, Brad, TJ Dinch, Mia Alario, and Lucía Peña in a “group chat.”
Oisin and Joe confessed to sending a few texts to each other. “[Joe’s] always there for me,” Oisin said. As for Maddi, her last text thread included Grace, while Grace’s last message went to Lucía.
