Leva Bonaparte confirmed that she is gone Southern Hospitality after falling out with Joe Bradley and TJ Dinch.

Months after Joe, 31, joined a “new” hosting group with links to Southern charm stars Craig Conover37, and Austen Kroll39, and TJ, 30, threw shade at someone who tried to stop the growth of his hot dog business, Sir Weiners, which prompted Leva, 47, to seemingly criticize them as “fake losers,” Leva addressed her status with Bravo.

“Are you at [Bravo Fan Fest] in Charleston this weekend?” someone asked her on Needle.

“I live here yes. No I asked Bravo to kindly release their schedule!” Leva replied. “I’m moving on to a new chapter in my life! I loved my time there but it no longer serves me…new projects on the horizon!”

In August, amid rumors about Leva’s separation from Southern Hospitality cast, Bradley Carter29, confirmed “growing pains” in an interview with Us Weekly.

“I’ve never had an experience where Leva didn’t support me, but sometimes people have their priorities, and they’re just a little bit different than theirs, so. Southern Hospitality“, he noted.

He also said he was “hopeful” for a fifth season.

“I think there’s a lot more going on than you know. I can’t confirm a season 5, but I’m not going to say it’s off the table. We have a lot going on in Charleston,” he said.

A week later, Maddie Reese29, and Michael Peña23, spoke to Page Six Virtual Tea about what the fifth season would be like.

“I feel that since we are no longer at Republic, it would be kind of to look at another side of our lives and what we do outside of that,” said Maddi. “At the end of the day, we all have things going on, and we’re all growing and starting new chapters. I’ve been working at Republic since I was 19, so 10 years of my life, and I just feel there’s time to grow and enter new chapters.”

“I feel the same way,” Michols agreed. “Like, for me, I’ve made my life for six years so I’m like, it’s time to put the bottle down. But yeah, I’m happy. I’m excited for everybody to see if we come back.”
