Emmy Sharrett from “Southern Hospitality” denies betraying Maddi Reese by receiving a promotion at Republic Garden & Lounge, asserting it was a result of naturally taking on more leadership as Maddi focused on her DJ career, despite Maddi feeling betrayed and others in their circle having mixed reactions to Emmy’s new role as assistant general manager.
Oh boy, here we go. Emmy Sharrett from “Southern Hospitality” is stirring the pot, isn’t she? She’s out here denying any backstabbing in her climb up the job ladder at Republic Garden & Lounge. But Maddi Reese? She’s not buying it. At 26, she told *Us Weekly* she felt a tad betrayed after catching the show’s trailer. Thought Emmy, at 25, was gunning for her job.
Now, Emmy’s side of the story? She claims it wasn’t about betrayal. More like, Maddi kinda dropped the ball on her responsibilities. Emmy insists she never aimed to be a leader. Yet, somehow, she ended up being the go-to person. Weird how that happens, right?
Summer 2023 was a turning point for Emmy. She started questioning why she was busting her chops without the official title. People around her suggested she’d rock as a VIP manager. And since there wasn’t one, Emmy thought, “Why the heck not?”
According to Emmy, Maddi’s focus was drifting towards her DJ career. “You can’t manage a company and DJ all over the place,” Emmy pointed out. She saw Maddi’s shift in priorities as an opportunity to step up. But, oh, the ego clashes.
Emmy’s boyfriend, Will Kulp, chimed in too. He thinks Maddi only has herself to blame for the situation. “She dropped the ball,” he said. Classic pointing fingers instead of facing the music, according to him.
And then, bam! Emmy lands the assistant general manager (AGM) title. Overseeing both Maddi and Joe Bradley, the VIP managers. Talk about a plot twist.
Maddi’s reaction? A mix of disbelief and sass. “L-O freaking L,” she said. Couldn’t believe Emmy snagged the role. Maddi’s convinced she’s still the top dog, regardless of titles.
Joe Bradley was equally shook. Tried playing it cool with a “happy for you” but quickly let his true feelings show. Not thrilled about Emmy’s new authority. He’d rather stick to DJing than acknowledge Emmy as his boss.
Despite the drama, Emmy’s been in charge for months. Joe thinks she could’ve handled the transition smoother. He and Maddi feel sidelined, especially since they helped Emmy get her foot in the door. “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” as Maddi puts it.
