Mia Alario is going toe-to-toe with boss Leva Bonaparte over her new consuming laws in Us Weekly’s unique sneak peek of the Southern Hospitality season 2 premiere.
“You were looking for an apology from LucĂa [Peña] for drinking on the job?” Mia, 25, asks Leva, 44, in a preview from the Thursday, December 7, episode of the Bravo sequence, relating to her coworker who was once just lately stuck consuming on shift.
Whilst Leva is greatly surprised through Mia’s query, she says that an apology “would personally mean a lot” from LucĂa particularly after Leva introduced her “back” after she had a kid and saved her hired for seven years.
“[You brought her back] after having a baby? After maternity leave, basically what normal companies do for women?” Mia quips as surprised VIP supervisor Maddi Reese watches.
Leva, who co-owns Republic Lawn & Bar together with her husband, Lamar Bonaparte, is as soon as once more shocked through Mia’s tone. “What are you doing, Mia?” she asks, to which Mia replies, “I’m upset.”
When driven additional, Mia tells Leva she’s unsettled through “the hypocrisy you are showing as a boss,” which most effective angers Leva much more.
“What are you talking about? If you are back of the house and you are drinking, [that’s an] immediate fire,” Leva fires again. “That’s the rule. Have you ever read your manual? If you drink back here, you’re done.”
Mia claims she doesn’t “understand” the place Leva is coming from, including, “I don’t get it.” The Southern Appeal superstar seems to be at her wits’ finish with Mia and responds, “I don’t need you to get it.”
In a single remaining effort to sway Leva into seeing her aspect, Mia claims, “Employees have drank here so many times.” The commentary, then again, activates Leva to invite, “OK, so who did I keep in here who is drinking back there?” hinting that any one else who's stuck with alcohol whilst on shift shall be terminated.
Whilst Maddi, 26, helps to keep her mouth close within the preview, she opened as much as Us previous this month concerning the uncomfortable second she witnessed between Leva and Mia.
“Leva definitely brings the hammer down this season on what we’re doing at work, whether it be our uniforms or drinking or anything like that,” Maddi completely defined to Us. “So, literally, I think most of us were worried about our jobs.”
She insisted that Leva was once no longer on a “power trip” regardless of what a few of her castmates would possibly say about their boss after the stern enforcement of the “no drinking” rule.
“I think that Leva cares about her business. [If] you allow drinking, [then] what else [will happen]?” Maddi mentioned. “I feel like Leva cares about our company and wants us to succeed. But sometimes I feel like our cast members are, like, ‘OK, take your foot off the brake. Trust us that we can do our jobs and we do them well.’ But at the end of the day, it’s her business. She’s passionate about it just as much as us, but she wants to make sure it’s doing the best that it can.”
Southern Hospitality season 2 premieres on Bravo Thursday, December 7, at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes shall be to be had the following day on Peacock.
