Biting their tongues? Leva Bonaparte hinted that not everyone on Southern Charm was excited for her spinoff series, Southern Hospitality — but some do make cameos.
“I definitely think that there were, at times, people who maybe were not super thrilled,” Leva, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her new show, which premieres on Monday, November 28. “They’ve all congratulated me, most of them, I wanna say, to date.”
The Bourbon N’ Bubbles cofounder explained that when it comes to Craig Conover, who she feuded with on season 8 of Southern Charm, he too has taken the high road.
“Craig just congratulated me as of recent,” she told Us. “I saw him on a green screen, [he] was really nice about it. So, he definitely came [around].”
Leva noted that she and the Sewing Down South founder, 33, have “made amends” since getting into a screaming match on the show’s finale, which aired in September.
The restauranteur, meanwhile, has been busy focusing on her multiple businesses and filming season 1 of Southern Hospitality — which she teased will feature a few Southern Charm favorites.
“You’ll see a lot of them make cameos in the show. But I definitely think there were some tricky feelings. Rightfully so,” Leva explained. “I mean some of these people are in the business now for several years and I can see that being tricky.”
The Mesu co-owner added: “Humans are humans and things get complicated. But I think we’ve all moved on and I think they’re all supportive. What I feel anyway … unless I see them and some other stuff happens, I feel as though they’re all being supportive at this point.”
