BOMBSHELL EXCLUSIVE!

Will Kulp, the dashing star of Bravo's hit reality show Southern Hospitality, has officially announced his exit from the program after a tumultuous three-season run. The 31-year-old charmer, who was a series regular until season three, confirmed his departure in an Instagram statement that sent shockwaves through the Bravo community.

In a scathing indictment of reality TV, Will claimed that the experience had been "horrible" and that he would never set foot on another reality show again. He also hinted that his fiancée, Emmy Sharrett – whom he proposed to in May – would continue to appear on Southern Hospitality without him.

The drama began when Will failed to appear at the season three reunion in March, leaving fans and castmates alike wondering what had gone down. The silence was finally broken with Will's statement, which slammed reality TV as a "horrible experience" that had left him feeling "burned."

The sparks flew on social media as Will took aim at his former show, accusing production of including a "defamatory storyline" about him. He also fired off a warning shot to his former castmates, suggesting that they would have to find new ways to entertain viewers without him.

Will's statement sparked a firestorm of speculation and gossip among Bravo fans, with many wondering what had really gone down behind the scenes. One thing is certain: Will Kulp's departure from Southern Hospitality marks the end of an era for the show, which has been plagued by rumors of infidelity, backstabbing, and catty drama.

The drama began in earnest during season two, when co-star Oisin O'Neill alleged that Will had kissed another woman in a bathroom. Will denied the claim, insisting that he was simply consoling a friend who was upset. But the damage had already been done, with fans and castmates alike questioning his commitment to his engagement to Emmy.

Things only got more heated during season three, when a trailer dropped showing Will accused of sleeping with multiple women at law school – where he is now pursuing his education. Emmy vehemently denied the rumors, insisting that Will had remained faithful throughout their relationship.

Despite the drama, Emmy stood by her man, and the two announced their engagement in May. But it seems that even that wasn't enough to keep Will on board with Southern Hospitality. As he bid adieu to the show, fans are left wondering what's next for this charismatic couple – and whether they'll be able to put the drama of the past behind them.
