Southern Charm star Austen Kroll applauded Joe Bradley for seeking employment outside of Leva Bonaparte‘s restaurant group.
Last week, Joe Bradley announced he is no longer working at Republic Garden & Lounge. He is currently employed by Uptown Hospitality Group, with Share House serving as his home base.
The Southern Hospitality personality revealed, “This is a huge step in my career and an opportunity I’ve been working toward for a long time. I’m incredibly excited to continue growing in hospitality, take on more responsibility, and keep learning from an amazing team as I work toward my goal of opening venues of my own.”
Austen slid into the comments to weigh in on Joe’s career move. “Smartest decision he ever made 👏.”
ICYMI, word on the Bravo streets is that Leva will not be returning for Southern Hospitality season 5.
Bravo has not made any official casting announcements, but with TJ Dinch’s recent shade toward Leva and now Joe’s departure, the rumor is looking more credible by the day.
Leva also no longer follows Joe or TJ on Instagram, further fueling speculation that there’s drama on King Street.
It’s also worth noting that Joe is now working for a direct competitor to Leva’s hospitality group.
