“Will has been 110 percent loyal to me,” Emmy, 26, exclusively said Us Weekly on Wednesday, Jan. 15, later adding, “I don’t believe for one second that Will cheated on me at all.”
The reality star shut down the “narrative” that she’s “so dead set on being a lawyer’s wife that I don’t care if Will cheats on me,” claiming that if he were to leave her, that would be the end of their relationship. theirs. .
“I’d dump Will in two seconds if he cheated on me, running away. I will not be dishonest”, declared Emmy. “Do it once, I’ll warn you. Do it again, I’ll break up with you and I won’t look back. And that’s how I’ve always been.”
She noted that thanks to her parents’ “beautiful marriage” she has “very high standards” and is willing to leave Will if he doesn’t meet them.
Emmy also noted that since Will is in his second year of law school, he has “tens of hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt” and she’s “feeding” him now.
During season 3 Southern hospitality trailer, which aired in November 2024, Will was accused of sleeping with “a lot of people” during his first year of law school, while Emmy was back in Charleston.
As the season has unfolded, almost all of Emmy and Will’s friends have claimed that Will drunkenly bad-mouthed his girlfriend. He allegedly told People at Republic that Emmy is no longer “fun” because she stopped drinking and made more lewd comments.
“I knew about what Will had already done and I don’t think people knew that I knew because I never talked to my friends about it,” Emmy said. us from the comments Will made behind his back. “A lot of it is also being exaggerated, as you can imagine.”
Emmy claimed that when Will said she supposedly didn’t have a car and slammed her body transformation, he was “stressed out” before the exams. Will had also broken his ankle and just had surgery, according to the VIP server.
“You take it out on the people closest to you and say things you don’t because you’re avoiding the reality of what’s really causing your pain in your life, which for her at the time was law school,” Emmy claimed. . “Will and I had our conversation about it, where he was very apologetic and embarrassed, and he knew it was inappropriate.”
She was confident that what viewers will see Will say on the show was “not as crazy and as bad” as it was in real time.
“If Will was living this happy, luxurious life where he was single, making all this money, and wasn’t struggling with his mental health, struggling in law school, not doing well (and) in chronic pain — if he was in a good place and this happened (would be a) different story,” Emmy explained. “But the context of it – I had (just) nursed Will for weeks and I know exactly what he was going through and his state of mind. So I have a lot of understanding and empathy for him.”
She added: “Do you forgive him? No. Was it unacceptable? yes. But no one is perfect and we all make mistakes.”
Emmy pointed out that she overlooked Will’s harsh words and is in a good place. In fact, she’s ready to head down the aisle every time he pops the question.

Emmy said that since Will has a short break after graduating law school in 2026 and taking the bar that summer, getting married before the end of 2026 sounds perfect.
“Maybe the summer (or) fall of 2026 is probably when we would have a wedding. It just makes sense,” she said. “We’ve been dating for three years, so it’s going to be four years in October. So it’s a long time. So it’s not like this is crazy out of the blue.”
Emmy teased that “by the end of this year” she’s expecting a ring. “It would make more sense, but I always say it’s between Will and my dad,” she concluded, noting, “Plans always change.”
