Southern Hospitality’s Will Kulp Exits Series Citing Horrible Experience

Will Kulp will not be returning for the fourth season of Bravo's Southern Hospitality, describing his time on the show as a "horrible experience and a life lesson." The law student and former bartender announced his departure on Instagram, expressing gratitude to select cast members, production staff, and Andy Cohen for their professionalism. Kulp hinted at negative experiences with the show's production and network that influenced his decision, promising to share more details when appropriate. Despite his exit, his fiancée Emmy Sharrett will continue to appear on the series, and Kulp plans to support her from the sidelines. The couple faced accusations of infidelity during Seasons 2 and 3, which they have denied, and Kulp notably skipped the Season 3 reunion, citing the difficulty of addressing his portrayal on the show. Southern Hospitality has enjoyed growing ratings success, becoming Bravo's first original series since 2018 to increase its audience across its first three seasons.
