Leva Bonaparte QUITS Southern Charm To Focus On Family & Business!
Leva Bonaparte is DONE with Southern Charm—and she’s making her exit loud and clear just before the reunion drama explodes!
In a heartfelt Instagram post on March 26, Leva, 45, reflected on her time with the show and explained her decision to move on. “Hi guys! Wanted to let you know that although this year was so fun — I’ll be stepping away from Southern Charm this year on great terms!” she wrote.
“I am in a place now in my life where I want to have time to focus on Boys and my Joys. And need some time for a life reset on what is aligned for me!”
The Bravo star, who first joined the cast in a guest role before becoming a series regular in Season 7, shared that her priorities have shifted. While she admitted she doesn’t have “a very salacious personal life to share,” she hinted that she’s staying busy with exciting new ventures.
“Frankly, I’m working on some pretty cool stuff that I hope to share more of soon!” she teased.
Although she’s departing Southern Charm, Leva confirmed that she’ll still be front and center on Southern Hospitality, her Charleston-based spinoff focused on her popular nightclub, Republic Garden & Lounge.
“Where you will see me is on Southern Hospitality in full force,” she noted, adding that the show “has really found its footing this year thanks to the fans, the Bravo bloggers, and the GOAT network.”
She ended her message with gratitude and a promise: “So this isn’t TV goodbye! Just maybe a you’ll see me a little less! Love y’all!”
Fellow castmates quickly flooded the comments with support. “So proud of you and everything that’s coming for you! I love you!” wrote Venita Aspen, to which Leva replied, “And you know I’m always here if you need me! On cam or off!”
Rodrigo Reyes also chimed in, “Leva, my incredible friend, I am so very proud of you!” with Leva responding, “Love you!!!!! So much and so proud of you! Always in your corner.”
While she may be stepping back from Southern Charm, Leva remains a major force in Bravo’s universe, continuing to grow her hospitality empire in Charleston alongside her husband, Lamar Bonaparte — including their latest venture, Zachary’s Daiquiris.
Part one of the Southern Charm Season 10 reunion airs March 27 at 8/7c on Bravo.
