A New Cheating Bombshell Rocks the Southern Hospitality Cast: "I’m Shaking"
Austin Stephan revealed some information he'd heard about Will Kulp during Season 3, Episode 5 of Southern Hospitality.
Another season of Southern Hospitality, another infidelity rumor — and yes, it's the same couple involved this time around: Will Kulp and Emmy Sharrett.
While a number of cast members were getting ready for the night ahead of them in the back room of Republic during Season 3, Episode 5, the conversation turned to gossip when new hire Austin Stephan brought up the fact that he’d ran into a couple of people who know Will from law school.
“I heard some s--t about him. I don’t know if this is, like …" he started saying, while his coworkers including Maddi Reese, TJ Dinch, Joe Bradley, Bradley Carter, Molly Moore, and Michols Peña began to laugh and ask, “What now?”
“I straight up was told that he hard cheated on Emmy. F--ked somebody at a party,” Austin said, causing everyone around him to gasp or cover their faces (or something else equally dramatic) in surprise. “I found this out yesterday. I just happened to, like, stumble upon this information. I wasn’t looking for it.”
Where did Austin hear the rumor that Will cheated on Emmy?
Joe asked Austin if the information he’d gotten about Will was from a trusted source, and Austin replied, "They’re extremely trustworthy people. Like, they would have no reason to tell me that."
How the Southern Hospitality cast reacted to the cheating rumors about Will
TJ noted, “I’m shaking. I shouldn’t have had coffee before you told me that," while Joe said his heart was “broken” for Emmy.
“Holy s--t dude,” Joe said in a confessional interview. “It’s been a bunch of times now we’ve heard some rumor about Will being weird and unfaithful towards Emmy. And as his friend, I want to not believe it. As Emmy’s friend, I definitely want to not believe it.”
“How many receipts does Emmy need in order for her to return Will?" Molly added in her own interview. "The customer service desk is screaming, 'Please, free returns! I’ll even give you store credit.'"
Does Emmy Sharrett know about the cheating rumors?
Emmy denied that Will cheated on her in a January 2025 interview with ET. “I’m not dumb,” she said. “If Will did cheat on me, I would never speak to him again. Goodbye… I take no s--t. I know Will like the back of my hand. That man, he’s never cheated on me. He’s many things but a cheater is not one of them.”
