The biggest clues that something may be brewing behind the scenes on “Southern Hospitality” didn’t happen on camera—they happened on Instagram.
According to a tip sent to us, Leva Bonaparte recently unfollowed TJ Dinch and Joe Bradley, setting off speculation that tensions may have developed among members of the Bravo cast. The social media move came alongside a series of other developments that have fans wondering whether relationships within the group have changed since filming wrapped.
“Looks [like] there’s drama between some of the cast of Southern Hospitality and Leva,” an insider told Bravo and Cocktails on July 17. “She unfollowed some of them. She unfollowed both TJ and Joe.”
Around the same time, Leva also shared an Instagram Story that caught fans’ attention.
“Not being liked by f*cking losers is usually a good sign,” the post read.
Leva seemed to fire back at her “Southern Hospitality” co-stars.
Cryptic Posts and Career Moves Add to the Speculation
Just one day before the unfollows were noticed, TJ shared a lengthy message about his gourmet hot dog company, Sir Wieners, hinting that someone had discouraged him from pursuing his own business.
“For a long time, I let someone convince me that I needed them for my dreams to become reality,” he wrote. “That I was moving too fast. That I should stay where I was. That my future depended on staying under someone else’s umbrella instead of building my own.”
He later added, “I finally stopped asking for permission and started believing I was enough all along.”
TJ also announced that Sir Wieners is expanding with brick-and-mortar locations coming to Charleston, South Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia.
Meanwhile, fans have also noticed that TJ no longer appears to be working at Republic, the Charleston nightclub owned by Leva that serves as the backdrop for much of “Southern Hospitality.” Joe has also removed Republic from his Instagram bio, another move that has added to the online speculation.
“Southern Hospitality” has not been renewed for season 5.
