When Flipping Out first aired on Bravo, I dare say Jeff Lewis was one of the
When Flipping Out first aired on Bravo, I dare say it was Jeff Lewis Jeff has been one of the most controversial TV personalities. The high-end designer was sarcastic, rude, and sometimes mean to his employees and clients. To be honest, Jeff doesn’t have a great track record with friends, colleagues, and male friends. However, he remains relatively popular in the Bravo universe thanks to his friendship with Andy Cohen. But even the king of Bravo can’t save Jeff from feuding with some of the leading housewives.
After Flipping Out ended, Jeff threw himself into radio, becoming the voice of Bravo and everything that went on behind the scenes. With the birth of his radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, the host felt free to tap some of the biggest names on the network. The interior designer wasn’t afraid to share his often sarcastic opinions. He was also a frequent guest on Watch What Happens Live, where he dropped candid comments about the Real Housewives like a hand grenade.
Vicki Gunvalson fights with several people, including Jeff Lewis.
It’s hard to ignore the original character of Vicki Gunvalson on The Real Housewives of Orange County, especially with her over-the-top theatrics. Maybe that’s what led Jeff to form a negative opinion of Vicki Gunvalson in the beginning. Anyone who knows Vicki knows that you don’t come for her spot on The Real Housewives of Orange County. But that’s exactly what Jeff did in 2017 when he suggested the network replace her. “I think she’s a great part of the show, but she doesn’t work with the girls, and just when you think there’s going to be a reconciliation, she throws out these horrible, evil, hateful, untrue accusations,” Jeff lamented. Jeff eventually apologized for upsetting Queen Vicki, but their friendship took a major hit.
There was something between Heather Dubrow and Jeff Lewis.
I’m not sure why anyone would pick a fight with Fancy Pants. Heather DubrowBut it seems Jeff was up for the challenge. Back in 2016, Jeff opened up about an experience he had while appearing on Watch What Happens Live. It turns out that Fancy Pants may not always be so nice, with Jeff revealing that he didn’t get the love from her. However, Heather took to social media to explain that Jeff was “very rude” to her at the party.
But Jeff, being Jeff, responded to New York Life: “I don’t hate her. I don’t think about her. It’s not a big deal. You’re just my least favorite. She started calling me names on Twitter. It just turned into something I don’t understand.” A year later, Jeff was still picking a fight, calling Heather “inauthentic, arrogant, and condescending” in a 2017 appearance on WWHL.
In 2021, Jeff told Andy, “I’ve seen how you treated people, and I’ll never forget it. I’ll never forget, and I’ll never forgive.” Eventually, in 2024, Jeff shared that the two had called a truce, noting that he “met her at a Sutton party, a Sutton holiday party, and talked to her for a long time, and we’re fine. We’re fine. This is buried. Moving on. I’m happy. I have a lot of enemies; it’s like one less enemy.”
Bethenny Frankel has issues with many…
During the 2022 holiday season, Jeff and Bethenny Frankel were guests on Watch What Happens Live. Jeff thought he was asking easy questions about what made her podcast different from some of the other Housewives, but behind the scenes, Bethenny was furious. “I was having fun, and she was someone I thought I could have fun with,” Jeff told E! at the time.
Kyle Richards had some issues with Jeff Lewis.
In my opinion, Jeff was probably the most cruel to Kyle Richards. During another WWHL attack, he called Kyle “the lesbian on Ozempic.” In response, Kyle took to Amazon Live to say she was no longer talking to Jeff. Less than a week later, Jeff sent Kyle flowers, who apparently accepted them.
Teresa Giudice vs Jeff Lewis
Jeff and Teresa Giudice They’ve always been awkward around each other. However, their latest interaction in June showed that they still have issues to work out. For viewers, there was an awkward moment when Theresa told Andy.
“Well, he was apologizing to me because he said something.” Then Trey turned to speak to Jeff, saying, “But it’s like saying if you didn’t mean it, I don’t know why you said it.”
The mother of four was referring to what happened earlier in the year when Jeff made comments about her feud with Melissa Gorga. And, to be honest, Jeff said what most fans were thinking. He claimed he would be ditching the Giudice clan and moving forward with the series with the Gorga clan.
Tell us – can you think of any other feuds Jeff Lewis has had?
