CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: Joe Bradley clarified a few things during ‘Southern Hospitality’ Season 2 reunion.

“This is the truth: Me and Luann got a drink, and we hit it off,” he said.

Bradley added he “probably was too flirtatious” with the ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ alum given the fact he was still romantically involved with Danielle Olivera back then.

“I did cross a line at the hotel, but I did not kiss her. We did not hook up,” he insisted of de Lesseps, as per PageSix.

Interestingly, TJ Dinch didn’t buy it and whispered to Mia Alario, “They hooked up.”

“Joe, I think you should be honest,” Dinch said. Bradley, doubled down, saying he “did not hook up with Luann.”

“I was playfully hanging out with her at the bar. That’s f*****g it. What would you even insinuate that? Nothing happened!” the 28-year-old said.

Andy Cohen then asked Dinch, “What percent sure are you that he did hook up with Luann?” To which she responded, “Ninety-nine,” and nudged Bradley to “just admit it!”

Dinch shared an alleged DM from Bradley, which read, “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 on Tuesday, February 20, admitted that he’s “kind of pressing the brakes a little bit” in an interview with Us Weekly on his relationship with Danielle.

“I just want to make sure we’re in the right place before I’m officially, like, ‘I’m your boyfriend, you’re my girlfriend.’ I don’t want to get hurt,” he told the outlet.

Previously, Bradley was said to be in love with VIP host Maddie. Joe, in an interview, hinted that there might have been a moment when he saw a potential romantic connection between them, but he never expressed those feelings to Maddi.

Despite this, Maddi shared with Showbiz Cheat Sheet that she and Joe remain close even after their time on 'Southern Hospitality.' "Joe and I are still really close," she revealed, emphasizing the enduring nature of their friendship, describing their relationship as being that of a "work husband and wife," reports MEAWW.
