Southern Hospitality's Michols Peña can't find the words to summarize what's coming up in season 4. "I literally can't explain it. Every week [or] every day, something new happened," Michols exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea Awards in New York City on September 17. "It was just very explosive. There's a lot of tea, a lot of drama. It was a disaster." Although filming has reportedly wrapped on the Southern Charm spinoff, Michols appeared excited to attend an event with some of his costars, including TJ Dinch, Maddi Reese and Joe Bradley. "At the end of the day, you'll see some of my other castmates come by later," he teased at City Winery. "I'm just surprised that we're all here together right now." 'Southern Hospitality' Cast's Dating History: Inside Bravo Stars' Love Lives One person noticeably missing from the Big Apple event was Emmy Sharrett. Despite some cast members expressing concerns about her romantic relationship, the Bravo reality star announced in May that she was engaged to Will Kulp. Two months later, Will announced he would be stepping away from Southern Hospitality. "The new season has started filming, and unsurprisingly, I will not be a part of it this year," Will wrote via his Instagram Stories on July 18. "I will likely never film a second of reality TV ever again."

"I feel like this year, our friendship was definitely tested so I didn't really get to film with her a lot," he teased. "I would definitely say [it's] interesting. It's probably new for her, because she's used to having him by her side." Emmy has maintained that Will is her "best friend" and "soulmate." "I love the way he loves, I love how he thinks, I love his intelligence, his family," she told People when confirming her engagement. "I love that we get to spend the rest of our lives together." Will Kulp, Grace Lily, Emmy Sharrett, Lake Rucker, Joe Bradley, Michols Pena, Leva Bonaparte, Maddie Reese, Bradley Carter, TJ Dinch, Austin Stephan, Molly Moore and Mia Alario Stephanie Diani/Bravo As fans eagerly wait for a season trailer, Michols admits he's a little apprehensive to relive everything that went down in season 4. "I had a lot of crash-outs this season, and I think I'm gonna dread watching all of it back, honestly," he said. "I think this season, I didn't really hold back. I definitely shared my opinion a lot more. Did it get me into trouble? Maybe, but we're all here. We're alive." One familiar face who may pop up in future episodes is Vanderpump Rules alum Ally Lewber. During an appearance on the Wednesday, September 24, episode of the "Disrespectfully" podcast, Ally said she has been spending time in Charleston, South Carolina. 'Southern Hospitality' Reunion: Where Does Everyone Stand? Where Was Will? While in town, Ally stopped by Leva Bonaparte's restaurants and bars to do some of her star sign readings for guests. "When I was there, I would sing and play at her little restaurant, which was fun," Ally said. "I have no idea about [any details]. I filmed a little. ... Everyone was really friendly and friends with each other. I was like, 'Oh.'" Past episodes of Southern Hospitality are streaming now via Peacock.
