Southern Hospitality star arrested on drug offense months after ‘happy pills’ incident

Bravo star Grace Lilly has been arrested for the second time in recent months.

Lilly, currently appearing on the network’s hit reality series Southern Hospitality, was arrested Tuesday morning in Charleston, South Carolina, and charged with possession of a controlled substance, according to records viewed by The Independent.

Her bond was set at $10,575, but she was released on personal recognizance, meaning a judge did not force her to pay as long as she promised to appear in court.

The Independent has contacted the Charleston County Sheriff's Office and Bravo for additional information.

This is the second arrest in recent months for Lilly, 27, who was handcuffed in late December after police found “happy pills” in her car.

Page Six reported at the time that Lilly was pulled over after an alleged illegal lane change. When she asked cops for her purse after being placed in handcuffs, a bottle was discovered with “Happy Pills” imprinted on the top, which Lilly claimed were Xanax and birth control.

“The offender stated she had a prescription for the Xanax but did not have any proof of that information available at the time,” the police report obtained by Page Six read.

However, there was also a warrant out for Lilly’s arrest after her ex-boyfriend was granted a restraining order against her due to alleged harassment over a pet cat.

North Carolina authorities said Lilly had been harassing her ex-boyfriend for two years over the feline. The former couple bought the cat in late 2022 and owned it throughout their relationship, according to documents in the case.

The boyfriend filed a Claim and Delivery suit against him for ownership, which he won in court.

After the cat was given back to him, Lilly was accused of regularly trying to contact her ex, attempting to enter his apartment, and trying to take the cat.

He told police the level of interference by Lilly caused him to be “paranoid of her popping up in his life.” He was then granted the restraining order, leading to the warrant out for Lilly’s arrest.

Lilly has appeared on all four seasons of Southern Hospitality, Bravo’s spin-off series of Southern Charm. It follows the staff of a high-end nightclub in Charleston as they navigate work, friendships, and messy personal lives.

Season four of the series began airing earlier this month.
