Southern Hospitality Season 3 is chock full of drama, and most of it surrounds Will Kulp and Emmy Sharrett’s relationship. The premiere opened with a flash forward showing the cast confronting Will over cheating rumors. In that same episode, we learned that Will made rude comments about Emmy at Republic and other bars throughout King Street.
When Emmy had an epic meltdown at work, Will was no help. Instead of comforting her or having her back, he stayed away at the bar to sip on High Noon. Emmy’s co-workers theorized that relationship stress was actually the catalyst for her breakdown. However, Emmy felt sorry for Will, ignoring how he made things worse. Also, Will mistakenly called her “Emily.” With all this going on, is Emily Emmy still planning on marriage and babies with her law student beau? Did she and Will prove the naysayers who called their relationship a “ticking time bomb” wrong? Here’s what we know about Will and Emmy’s current relationship status.
Emmy Sharrett shares her relationship status with Will Kulp after Southern Hospitality Season 3
Emmy spoke to Entertainment Tonight about Southern Hospitality Season 3. In the interview, she made it clear they are still together. There was some speculation when Will deleted his Instagram after they wrapped filming. Emmy said that was to protect his mental health and focus on school. “Will and I are genuinely great,” she said, “Will is my best friend.”
Arguing things are “better than ever,” she said Will went skiing with her family over the holidays. She gushed, “My family loves Will, my sisters love Will.” Emmy joked, “My one sister is a helicopter pilot, so if Will was doing anything bad, she’d know.”
Emmy confirmed he talked behind her back, and Will himself admitted to it. However, Emmy claimed that her cast mates used “extreme” words to describe what he said, and took things “incredibly out of context.” Emmy added, “Will got drunk and said some stuff, but the way they’re gonna put it is like he hates me.” Emmy stormed off when the group brought this up on the Lake Wylie trip. Reflecting on her thoughts in that moment, Emmy said, “I don’t give a sh*t about half the people at this table who all have an opinion about my relationship. I’m not gonna sit around and talk to them about it.” She felt like the group setting was an attempt to embarrass her.
Emmy specifically named TJ Dinch and Bradley Carter as the “biggest pot stirrers.” She called it especially heartbreaking because they were friends with her and Will. She also has “nothing nice to say” about newcomers Lake Rucker and Molly Moore, who added “their two cents.”
Does Emmy think Will was unfaithful to her?
This season, Will is once again accused of cheating on Emmy. As we saw in the flash forward, there are rumors that he lives with another girl at school and took someone else to his law school prom.
Emmy was point blank asked, “Do you believe that Will has been unfaithful to you at any point in your relationship?” Emmy dramatically shook her head and answered, “Never.” She continued, “I’m not dumb, or ‘blinded by the money’ he doesn’t have, by the way. Will’s not sitting on some trust fund.”
Seemingly responding to comments online, she added, “I don’t care about the status of being some lawyer’s wife.” She claimed, “If Will did cheat on me, I would never speak to him again.” Continuing to defend her character, she said, “I take no sh*t.” Emmy insisted, “I know Will like the back of my hand…he’s never cheated on me. He’s a lot of things, but a cheater isn’t one of them.”
Emmy defends Will’s actions amidst her meltdown
Adding context behind her meltdown, Emmy said she was up all night sick with strep throat. She said Will took care of her. But also that she was still “loopy” from the NyQuil he gave her. She also said that Will was checking in to make sure she was feeling okay.
To recap, the girls accused Emmy of using her store credit to purchase new work dresses but charging them full price. Viewers were shocked that, instead of having her back, Will asked if she did it. However, Emmy got why Will was “confused.” He wondered why she had such a big reaction if she didn’t do it. “It was an unfortunate way that he put it,” she admitted, but she understood his confusion. She also wanted Will to stay out of the work drama.
However, Emmy had less praise for the girls who confronted her over the dresses. Emmy accused Molly and Siobhan of just pretending to care about her and her relationship. She called it “kind of a cover-up” and theorized that the girls realized they “looked like a bully, I’m gonna reel it back by pretending I care about Emmy’s feelings.” She called it “disheartening” and added, “Who needs enemies with friends like these?” Seems like it’s Will and Emmy against the world.
Southern Hospitality can be streamed on Peacock.
