‘Southern Hospitality’ star Joe Bradley, 28, denies hooking up with Luann de Lesseps, 58
Joe Bradley denied hooking up with Luann de Lesseps, but a leaked Instagram DM to one of his co-stars suggests otherwise.
During the “Southern Hospitality” Season 2 reunion Thursday, the cast member addressed rumors that he and de Lesseps were “all over each other” after getting “flirty” at a January taping of “Watch What Happens Live.”
“This is the truth: Me and Luann got a drink, and we hit it off,” he said.
Bradley, 28, admitted he was “probably was too flirtatious” with the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum, 58, considering he was still romantically involved with “Summer House” star Danielle Olivera at the time.
“I did cross a line at the hotel, but I did not kiss her. We did not hook up,” he insisted of de Lesseps.
However, his co-star TJ Dinch was not convinced by Bradley’s side of the story and whispered to their castmate Mia Alario, “They hooked up.”
“Joe, I think you should be honest,” Dinch said.
Bradley, however, maintained that he “did not hook up with Luann.”
“I was playfully hanging out with her at the bar. That’s f–king it. What would you even insinuate that? Nothing happened!” he reiterated.
The reunion’s moderator, Andy Cohen, then stepped in and asked Dinch, “What percent sure are you that he did hook up with Luann?”
“Ninety-nine,” he said before begging Bradley to “just admit it!”
Bradley quickly became upset and told Dinch to “f–k off” before Cohen called out Bradley for looking “so guilty right now.”
Several of Bradley’s co-stars also called him a “terrible liar.”
Right after the explosive reunion aired, Dinch posted a screenshot of a direct message he purportedly received from Bradley that made the denial a little less clear.
“At the end of the day, no one will give a f–k that you broke the news haha. You’re a supporting character, friend of. [Rat]. Truly heartbreaking,” Bradley allegedly wrote.

Bradley has not publicly addressed the screenshot, nor has de Lesseps discussed the comments made at the reunion.
The former “Housewife” previously denied hooking up with Bradley but admitted they “had great chemistry.”
De Lesseps pointed out that Bradley was still involved with Olivera, but if they broke up, she would definitely be interested.
“Hell yeah! Are you kidding me? Well, I’m a little bit of a cougar, let’s put it that way,” she told TMZ earlier this month.
Bradley confirmed that he and Olivera, 35, had called it quits around the time of his “WWHL” appearance with de Lesseps last month.
