Explained: Everything Will and Emmy have said about *those* cheating rumors
Will and Emmy have been a couple for three years. Things appeared to be going smoothly, until they were both hit with an explosive argument with their fellow Southern Hospitality co-stars.
With an engagement looming for the end of the year, Southern Hospitality‘s Emmy is not phased by the cheating rumors facing her boyfriend, Will. He was accused of cheating on her while away at law school.
Emmy has maintained Will is ‘not a cheater’
Emmy is adamant Will has never cheated on her, despite the speculation. During the January 23 Southern Hospitality episode, the cast told Emmy Will had disparaged her behind her back.
“I’m not dumb,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “If Will cheated on me, I would never speak to him again. Goodbye. I take no s***. I know Will like the back of my hand. That man, he’s never cheated on me.”
The confrontation played out during a dinner at Lake Rucker’s family lake house and concluded with Emmy storming out and immediately phoning Will, to which she said their opinions don’t matter to her.
She said, “If people want to have conversations about me and my relationship, you can ask me to coffee. But at group events, group dinners, anywhere where there’s an audience, it’s highly inappropriate.”
They’ve both denied cheating on each other
In the same season of Southern Hospitality, both Emmy and Will were accused of cheating on each other by their fellow cast members. Several girls accused Emmy of stealing and being unfaithful.
She told TV Insider: “For me to do all this for the girls and then for Siobhan to accuse me of trying to be sketchy and make some kind of commission or pocket some kind of cash, is just the biggest insult.”
“So, to me, that’s why I spiralled, and because I’m sick is why I can’t put a lid on it. That’s why I just can’t stop. I’m just like, I can’t see past it. I’m in disbelief,” Emmy continued.
When tables were turned, Emmy was quick to say Will didn’t cheat when Mia Alario showed her a text speculating he had. She told TV Insider, “It seems people come to me at opportune times with this info.”
She also said, “This whole narrative that I would accept Will as a cheater because I care about the money he doesn’t have is just… I laugh about it. But Will is my best friend, and we are still dating.”
Will has denied cheating on Emmy but was accused of people at Republic that she is no longer “fun” because she stopped drinking and made some unkind comments about her.
Their co-star exposes Will for slating Emmy
Aside from the cheating rumors, it all came out that Will had been talking about her body in a negative way behind Emmy’s back. She’s said that the whole thing happened three months before filming.
Emmy claims she knew about it all already and slammed her friends for exposing the scandal at the lake house finale dinner, saying it’s not “good friend” behavior to mention it in front of cameras.
TJ Dinch, however, said Will was “talking s*** about Emmy mutual friends of Brad and mine” on April 12 and again to others on April 28, before filming for the Bravo show started on June 4.
He adds that there was a second night of “drunk s*** talking at Republic that we were both unaware of which explains why there’s so many different stories/things being said.”
Will’s friends called him out on it and he replied: “I think school is so stressful that I project things onto the relationship sometimes.” And when they said he was recently drunk and expressed his frustrations to them about their relationship, Will said: “Did it happen… Yeah.”
