After a week-long break, Southern Hospitality season 1 returned with a brand new episode on Monday, January 2, 2023. Episode 5, titled Rock the Boat, featured Leva Bonaparte getting upset over her staff’s vacation posts on Instagram.
In the previous episode, Maddi Reese took permission from Leva to take the team on a trip to North Carolina. They first enjoyed a day at a NASCAR event and then had a fun day off on a yacht in Lake Norman.
Despite enjoying a sanctioned vacation, they had to face Leva’s wrath because she was upset with the team’s social media posts. Southern Hospitality fans are now slamming the Republic Garden & Lounge owner for making a big deal out of the cast’s online posts.
Episode 5 ended with Leva yelling at her staff and telling them that she would fire people.
Fans want Leva to mind her own business
In Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 5, the cast members had a fun day at Lake Norman, North Carolina.
Although Leva Bonaparte knew her staff had a day off, she asked them to be active on social media and promote the nightclub. She later got upset over the team's raunchy photos, posted by Maddi’s boyfriend Trevor.
Leva making a big deal out of her team’s vacation photos irked fans. They slammed the Southern Charm star on Twitter and asked her to mind her own business.
In episode 5 of Southern Hospitality season 1, Maddi’s boyfriend Trevor posted clips and photos on his Instagram handle, which included beer-soaked photos of the girls, along with Grace Lilly's twerking reels. Leva was furious at the cast for letting someone post such photos of them on social media, claiming that it demeaned her restaurant’s name.
While the cast was returning to Charleston, Leva sent messages to a few of them, mentioning how upset she was with the social media posts. She then called a meeting and got angry at the staff, stating that she might fire people.
Some of the staff members sent Leva messages from their trip, giving her every detail of what was going on there.
In the meeting, Leva said:
“I heard like different rumblings about it [the trip] not being amazing. Yeah, high and lows are fine. Obviously, some of you got text messages about my disappointment of what things were being posted on social media.”
She continued:
“I was beyond furious. Like I am like shaking right now coz I am so angry. I think it’s so disgusting. How stupid are you to let somebody post that sh*t like that. Like I am gonna fire people.”
With her last statement, the episode showed “to be continued” and ended on a cliffhanger.
Who was Leva’s “spy” in Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 5?
Towards the end of Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 5, Leva Bonaparte called a meeting at the Republic Garden & Lounge. She mentioned that she was angry at the staff members for their vacation posts.
Before she arrived, the group discussed Leva knowing all the details that went on during the vacation. Lucia Pena asked who was the spy in the group who passed the information to Leva. None of the cast members said anything, but in three different confessional clips, Will Kulp, Joe Bradley, and TJ Dinch confessed that they told Leva.
Only time will tell whether the boys’ action will cost someone else’s job.
Southern Hospitality season 1 airs new episodes on Bravo on Mondays at 9 pm ET.
