Bravo Star Abruptly Quits Show After Calling It a ‘Horrible Experience’ originally appeared on Parade.
The verdict is in – Will Kulp is not returning to Bravo’s Southern Hospitality ahead of the upcoming season 4.
“A little update: The new season has started filming, and unsurprisingly, I will not be a part of it this year,” Will, 30, wrote via Instagram Stories on Friday, July 18. “I will likely never film a second of reality TV ever again. It has been a horrible experience and a life lesson.”
The Bravo star continued, “A big thanks to some cast, some production, Andy Cohen and ALL of the crew for the seasons past. You know who you are. Your kindness and professionalism are rare occurrences in the industry.”

Will, who walked away from season 3 with strained friendships amid his tumultuous relationship with now-fiancée Emmy Sharrett, shaded his now former co-stars in the latter half of his statement.
“Best of luck to this new season. Hope it can be entertaining without a defamatory story line or unwanted use of my name, image and likeness,” Will continued. “When it is appropriate, I will talk more about experiences and production and the network that led to this decision.”
Will concluded the statement, stating that he was “happy” to exit the show and will be “cheering Emmy on from the sidelines.”
Will was a founding cast member on Bravo’s Southern Hospitality during the series premiere in 2022. The show features the lives of the staff of Republic Garden & Lounge, owned by Southern Charm alum Leva Bonaparte.
The aspiring lawyer’s exit may not come as a shock to fans, as he skipped the season 3 reunion after facing infidelity accusations from his costars. Will and Emmy navigated their newly long-distance relationship after he started law school. Not to mention, the Republic crew called out Will for talking negatively about Emmy, 26, and their relationship, which he later admitted to. Despite Emmy and Will defending their relationship and denying the cheating rumors throughout the season, their friends and coworkers thought otherwise.

In May, Will and Emmy announced their engagement after nearly four years of dating.
