Jeff Lewis and Bryn Whitfield
Charles Sykes/Bravo (2)Things are heating up in the Bravoverse between Bryn Whitfield and Jeff Lewis.
After The Real Housewives of New York The 37-year-old star called him a “pig” on the Tuesday, Dec. 3 episode of Watch what’s happening live with Andy CohenLouis hits back.
“I’m not that affected by him calling me a pig. I’m just curious because I feel like if I call someone a pig, there’s going to be a lot of backlash and repercussions,” the former Take off star said on his SiriusXM radio show, Jeff Lewis LiveThursday, December 5. “I didn’t feel like that was a very intelligent response either.”
Lewis was central to one of the early storylines RONNIE season 15 after Whitfield took offense to an interview between Lewis and Costar Erin Lichy on his radio show during the hiatus between season 14 and the current season. (During the August 2023 appearance of Jeff Lewis LiveLewis questioned Leachy about where Whitfield gets her money and asked if she was “supplemented” by a benefactor.)
On Tuesday WWHLWhitfield said the host Andy Cohen that she is ready to set some records during the upcoming RONNIE season 15 reunion – and bumped into Lewis. “I’m energized (for the reunion). I kept quiet on purpose,” she said. “A lady does not fight pigs. None of my (costars) … my friends are pigs. Jeff Lewis is a pig.
Lewis clapped back during Thursday’s episode of his radio show, saying, “I found it interesting when she said, ‘A lady doesn’t fight pigs.'” I don’t find her a lady. I don’t even find her to be an adult.
“I think she’s acting like an oversexed teenager on this show, and that’s what I said. She’s desperate for attention – she flirts with other people’s husbands, partners and parents,” he continued. “That’s all I said. That’s what I’ve noticed. I don’t like bullshit. It seems to me that she is very desperate for attention.
“And, by the way, the public is turning on her,” he added. “The things I’ve said are really indefensible – you can’t say it’s not the truth. We witnessed this (at RONNIE). So her response is I’m a pig. I think Andy even felt uncomfortable.
Whitfield has not publicly commented on Lewis’ comments.
