Grace Lilly Reveals a Major Career Change: “I’m Going to Rock With It”
Former VIP lounge host and Southern Hospitality cast member Grace Lilly is ready to embrace the next chapter in her life.
Grace Lilly is embarking on a new chapter.
On the Season 3 premiere of Southern Hospitality — which aired Jan. 2 — the former VIP host revealed some major life changes, particularly in her career.
"After five years of working at Republic Garden and Lounge, Grace Lilly has exited the building," she shared in a confessional. "I've been doing some modeling and I just want to do like, bigger things."
What kind of bigger things? Well, "There's never any knowing of where Grace Lilly will jet off to. And I'm going to rock with it," she declared.
As for what inspired the change, Grace Lilly said she sought guidance from the universe through spiritual practices and took part in an ayahuasca ceremony that helped her "dive deeper" into her emotions. In the process, she apparently connected with late singer Bob Marley, a figure she said she has a great admiration for.
"I told him, I was like, 'I love you Bob! I'm always going to spread your message.' I love him. He's like my f-cking role model for life," she shared with Maddi Reese while they caught up at a park.
Grace not only connected with Bob, she also had a "come to Jesus" moment where she was able to have a conversation with the big man up in the sky. "I just started crying and in that moment I had just this sense of like, release," she said.
To this, Maddi said, "Maybe I need ayahuasca."
What to expect from Grace Lilly on Season 3 of Southern Hospitality
Right now, Maddi and Grace appear to be back in each other's good graces, but the Season 3 trailer for Southern Hospitality teases a heated confrontation between the friends, among other events.
In the trailer, Maddi and Grace get into a screaming match that could spell the end of their friendship. At one point, Maddi yells at Grace, "I'm your best friend," to which Grace replies, "No, you're not."
Though the confrontation looks intense, there's always a chance that the girls could make amends once the dust settles and calmer heads prevail. After all, Grace has told Entertainment Tonight, "We're very dynamic [but] we're here to stay."
And Grace is also one of the people to pay witness to Maddi and Joe Bradley's Las Vegas nuptials. She's spotted crying in the pews of a chapel as her two friends exchange vows.
New episodes of Southern Hospitality air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock. Seasons 1 and 2 of Southern Hospitality are currently streaming on Peacock.
