Southern Hospitality: TJ and Bradley discuss Joe’s acknowledgment
During Southern Hospitality, TJ and Bradley discussed the situation between TJ and Joe. TJ expressed his disappointment that Will and Emmy were absent, stating,
“I mean, I didn’t invite them, but dude, I want them here, yeah?”
He then admitted that they might need space. In a confessional on Southern Hospitality, TJ expressed his surprise that Joe and Bradley were present while Will and Emmy were absent, adding that the situation felt unfortunate. Bradley then shifted the conversation to TJ’s relationship with Joe, asking,
“Where are y’all at right now?”
TJ responded that they were in a better place, explaining,
“I think we’re in a good spot. I mean, we talked about, like, the, you know, the root of it all, and how it affected our friendship.”
Bradley acknowledged the toll it had taken on TJ, saying,
“It took a toll on you, your mental for a long time.”
TJ admitted that the situation had deeply affected him, saying he had felt overwhelmed, but he acknowledged that Joe was honest about the situation between them. Bradley was shocked by Joe’s acknowledgment and asked,
“So he... Hold on. Wait. So he, like, acknowledged that something happened between you two?”
When TJ confirmed this, Bradley responded with surprise and admiration, saying,
“Wow. That’s unbelievable."
TJ then mentioned that Joe still played it off as a drunken misunderstanding. Bradley dismissed the idea humorously, remarking,
“You don’t look like any girl that I’ve touched. I’m just saying.”
The conversation in Southern Hospitality stemmed from Joe and TJ’s earlier confrontation, where Joe accused TJ of spreading rumors about his sexuality. Joe had said,
“Since then, that rumor has been played on for three years when people are like, oh, we heard from TJ that you’re gay. If I was gay, that’d be fine, but I’m not.”
He admitted that the speculation had affected him, while TJ maintained that he had not intentionally fueled the rumors. Joe recalled the moment that started the speculation, saying,
“Maybe, like, I cuddled up next to you when I was black or drunk thinking you were, like, my girlfriend.”
TJ insisted that it was not his fault. Joe then acknowledged that they had never properly addressed the situation and admitted that TJ knew where his feelings and sexuality stood, but they had always avoided discussing it. TJ confessed that their past had left him hurt, explaining in a confessional,
“Unfortunately, in the past, I have had too many experiences with straight men similar to Joe, but the difference is there was never any, like, friendship.”
He added that their closeness had led him to believe there could have been something more. Joe later apologized, admitting he had said something hurtful and should have handled the situation better. TJ accepted the apology, and they agreed to move forward.
Southern Hospitality airs every Thursday on Bravo.
