Here’s how fans reacted to Grace Lilly’s dairy statement

Viewers were surprised that even after claiming to be dairy-free, Grace Lilly consumes several dairy-based items. Fans then deciphered that her definition of dairy-free meant no milk.

Fans couldn’t get over her statement. Take a look at how they reacted on Twitter:

In Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 4, Grace Lilly went to Maddi Reese’s house. When she arrived, the hostess mentioned that she was making a protein shake. In response, Grace stated that the protein shake had milk, and she’s dairy-free, so she would like a coffee.

Maddi went on to make black coffee, but Grace mentioned that she would take it with cream. Maddi stated that the cream was dairy. To this, Grace explained that she consumes cheese products, but not milk, leaving Maddi in shock.

In a confessional, Grace said:

“So, I am dairy-free, except for…I still eat cheese, I still like desserts that have dairy in them — ice cream. I love mac and cheese. I grew up lavender-y queen. I really like a good vanilla milkshake, but other than that I am dairy-free.”

Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 4 recap

Episode 4 of Southern Hospitality season 1 started with Mikel Simmons storming off from Grace Lilly’s birthday party after fighting with TJ Dinch. Maddi Reese was worried that Mikel’s grudge towards certain members of the Republic nightclub might not allow him to come to work. However, Mikel arrived on time and let Maddi be the DJ for the night.

The group then went to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the weekend as Maddi’s father arranged tickets for a NASCAR event, where the cast met popular racer Ross Lee Chastain.

On the trip, Joe Bradley was annoyed at Maddi for bringing her boyfriend, Trevor, who once cheated on her. Towards the end of the episode, the group checked in to Maddi’s 4-bedroom cottage in Charlotte.

Titled Off to the Races, Southern Hospitality season 1 episode 4’s official synopsis read:

“When Grace Lily’s birthday party takes a turn, Mikel questions if he can continue to work at Republic. Grace’s enthusiasm gets her back into Leva’s good graces, but Will’s wild night rubs his co-workers the wrong way. Maddi invites everyone to a NASCAR race in her hometown of Charlotte, where Trevor meets her parents for the very first time since their breakup.”

The group will have fun for two more days in Charlotte, where their form of enjoyment may cross some boundaries. Some of them will receive a lot of flak from their boss Leva Bonaparte in the upcoming episodes.
