Justin’s Open-Minded Confessions: From Threesome Fallout to Crushing on ‘Everyone’ in Charleston

In Southern Hospitality Season 4, Episode 2 (“Folly Follies”), newcomer Justin Assad—the charming VIP host shaking up Republic—delivered some of the episode’s most candid and revealing moments.

While the rest of the crew navigated beefs, breakups, and beach-house reconciliations, Justin took a reflective pause to unpack his post-breakup life, casual hookups, and evolving views on attraction.

His confessions offer a refreshing glimpse into modern dating in the chaotic world of Charleston’s nightlife scene, where labels blur, rumors fly, and self-discovery happens amid wine-fueled chats and “dick-canters.”

The drama kicked off with Justin admitting his last serious relationship “imploded because of a threesome gone wrong.”

The vague but juicy detail—dropped casually to producers—hints at boundary-pushing experimentation that backfired spectacularly, leaving him single and ready to embrace a lighter, “just trying to have fun” phase.

No specifics on what went awry (yet), but it’s clear the experience shifted his priorities toward no-strings fun over heavy commitment.

Enter Jordyn, the Republic bartender who’s become a near-constant sleepover companion. Justin shared with TJ over wine that she’s been staying over “almost every night,” describing the physical side with his signature bluntness: he enjoys “clapping cheeks.”

But even in this friends-with-benefits setup, Justin’s looking for “more”—a sign he’s not fully content with surface-level connections. Complicating things?

Jordyn reportedly accused him of being gay after witnessing him make out with both Michols and TJ in front of her. Justin pushed back, explaining he’s “exclusively dated women” but can “appreciate a good-looking man.”

He even quipped to producers that he’s “30 percent gay, depending on how many tequila sodas I have in me,” blending humor with openness about fluid attraction.

This fluidity fuels ongoing bisexuality rumors among fans and castmates alike. TJ praised Justin as an “excellent kisser,” and the group dynamic—complete with playful makeouts and shared bottles—highlights how Charleston’s tight-knit scene blurs lines between friendship, flirtation, and more.

Justin’s grooming habits (yes, he shaves his balls) and easygoing vibe add to his “open-minded” persona, making him stand out in a cast full of dramatic romances.

Adding to the intrigue: Justin’s crushes aren’t limited to one person. He openly admitted to TJ that he “had a crush on Mia,” even as she returned from her Hawaii breakup with Troy.

TJ spilled that Justin had also hit on Molly (Jordyn’s new roommate), painting a picture of a guy who’s essentially trying to “bang everyone” in the friend group—though with charm rather than malice. Mia called him “hot” in response, keeping the door cracked for potential sparks.

In the broader context of Southern Hospitality‘s love lives—where long-distance fails, old flames reignite, and workplace hookups fuel endless drama—Justin’s storyline feels like a modern counterpoint.

He’s navigating self-discovery without rigid labels, embracing bisexuality rumors as part of his charm rather than a scandal.

In an era when fluid sexuality is more visible (and less stigmatized) on reality TV, Justin’s confessions highlight the messiness and excitement of dating in your 30s: threesome fallout, casual sleepovers, crushes on multiple people, and the freedom to appreciate attraction across the spectrum.

Whether Jordyn’s accusations lead to more tension, or his Mia crush ignites new chaos at Republic, Justin’s reflective arc adds depth to Season 4’s mix of fights and fun. In Charleston, where everyone’s connected and nothing stays secret, his open-minded approach might just be the most honest thing on the show.
