Brynn Whitfield has had conflict with Jeff Lewis since 2023. And Jeff doesn’t see a resolution in the near future. It’s a conclusion that he made while watching The Real Housewives of New York reunion, and he explained his point of view during a recent podcast.
An avid Real Housewives watcher himself, Jeff landed himself in hot water with Brynn after asking her RHONY costar, Erin Lichy, what she does for a living. That, in addition to commentary that he has given about the show, and the podcast host is public enemy number one to Brynn.
Where do Jeff Lewis and Brynn Whitfield stand after RHONY feud?
Jeff recently appeared on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast to discuss the current situation of his rift with Brynn. It’s an interesting time in RHONY history by the way. Producers put out a casting call for Season 16, and cast members are still waiting for confirmation to return to filming.
“Usually, I don’t go after people unless they deserve it,” Jeff told host Alex Baskin. “I don’t attack innocent people.”
Jeff has had beef with other Real Housewives in the past, but he’s always managed to mend fences. In comparison to his rift with Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow, Jeff claimed that Brynn never took accountability for her part in the ongoing commentary between the two feuding Bravolebrities.
“I think if somebody is not accountable, somebody is really kind of close-minded to seeing their role in things, I really can’t work with that. I don’t see a Brynn-Jeff reconciliation ever, especially after watching the reunion,” Jeff said during the podcast.
The reality TV star added, “I don’t see [Brynn] as someone who is responsible.”
Jeff recalled past feuds with Real Housewives stars
The question of how Brynn made her income and the insinuation of whether she “supplemented” it created drama that leaked onto RHONY. She put Erin on the spot for partaking in the interview, though the real estate professional denied any questionable action on Brynn’s part. As for Jeff, he denied hinting at anything. However, Brynn called him a “pig” for his role in the conversation.
The Flipping Out star expressed surprise that Brynn was so upset about his conversation with Erin. But on the November 12, 2024 episode of Watch What Happens Live, Jeff said that “seeing her on” RHONY made him realize that “she concocts her own narrative and hears what she wants to hear.” Thereby making reconciliation futile.
Contrast this situation with RHOC’s Heather, whom Jeff called his “least favorite housewife” in 2016. Years later, the duo managed to publicly reconcile. Jeff recalled that feud while on Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast.
“I can sit down, and I can acknowledge my role, and hopefully you do that same, and we can meet in the middle and move on,” Jeff explained. “I don’t see us being best friends, but I saw her perspective, she saw mine. And I think we have a mutual respect for each other … Now, I think we’re friendly.”
The Bravolebrity also shared how he made up with Teresa Giudice after saying he preferred her Real Housewives of New Jersey costar, and sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga.
“I really enjoyed them both, and we’re in a good place now,” Jeff said of Teresa and her husband Luis Ruelas.
