Southern Hospitality star Leva Bonaparte answers questions about Souther Charm co-stars

In the finale episode of Southern Charm, Craig and Leva got into an argument at his company's Christmas party. The issue escalated when Craig’s lack of seating arrangements left Leva and Naomie excluded from their cast members' table.

During a heated argument, Leva took a dig at his pillow business. She implied that Craig's company was run by his business partner and not him. This annoyed Craig, who then kicked Leva out of the event.

In a November 28 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Leva answered a few rapid-fire questions about Craig and the other cast mates. Host Andy questioned the Southern Hospitality boss Leva:

"Do you regret not-so-subtly implying that Craig is merely the face of his business rather than the mastermind?”

Leva clarified:

"Well, I don't think Craig thinks he's a mastermind, but I definitely think Craig's involved in his business and I was just angry.”

Andy then asked Leva which of her castmates — Austen, Craig, or Shep Rose — she would rather go into business with. Leva answered, "Shep."

He then went on to ask which of her Southern Charm co-stars her restaurant staff “complained” about the most. To this, Leva responded, "Austen."

Andy then inquired about who the "worst tipper in the bunch” was and Leva quickly called out Craig.

Trop Hop Beer founder Austen came to defend his friend Craig and reacted to the remark. He commented on Queens Of Bravo’s Instagram post of the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen video:

“Do I take this bait or just let it slide.”

Southern Hospitality star Leva quickly cleared the air on the post, saying that she thought Andy asked about who had the worst “temper.”
