But I have to put myself forward and I have to tell my story. I am a dead man who walks, but I have to tell my story.

"I would never do that to a 15 or 16 year old friend," he added. "I would never put someone – I love her family, I love her children, she is my child's godmother, I would never do that to her."

It's not the only bomb Lewis dropped Jeff Lewis Live listeners on Friday.

He revealed that Pulos has not worked formally for his company, Jeff Lewis Design, for years and is rather employed by the network.

"Jenni did not work for me. She has not worked for me for several seasons. She works for Bravo, "said Lewis, apologizing to viewers for cheating them on television. "These are my employees, they are my clients, they are my homes, it's my life, but it's used by Bravo. She shows up on the day of shooting, she leaves the day we are done filming. She does not work for me seven months a year. She's not on my payroll.

Although he set up the facade for the good of the series, Lewis said he realized at the end of the season that they had to stop pretending. The realization came after Lewis brought the old Real Housewives of Miami Star Lea Black in the office advising her employees on business and realized that there were "about three people" who "had other goals" and did not want to work to help Lewis grow up.

"In fact, I was very surprised to hear that Jenni was one of them," Lewis said in the SiriusXM broadcast. "She said that she had abandoned her acting career to work for me and that it really hurt my feelings because I felt like I had nothing to do with it. other than to accommodate it for its hearings and meetings, etc. And at the beginning I was very hurt and I was put on the defensive. I understand that she spends a lot of time with me. It is quite possible that she was not able to participate in certain auditions and that she may not have had the opportunity to book a film or show, but I was very flexible.

Lewis recalled that he later gave Pulos "unsolicited career advice," which resulted in fighting while driving in a car together. He said the argument was "a bit hot" but "stupid" and "very similar to the other fights we had before".

"This fight has not been different from any other fight in the last eleven years Going crazy, "he said." This fight, I never thought, in a million years, to break … It's no different from what I shouted to a contractor to be late or make me pay $ 5,000 for repairs. "

Once the dust settled and the cameras turned off, Lewis said he and Pulos had met to discuss their future together. Knowing that she was unhappy, Lewis said that he had told Pulos that she could leave his company on the show.

"We chose at the end of all this to move from Jeff Lewis Design," said Lewis. Jeff Lewis Live. "It was all very civil," I thought. … It's me who initiated this and I did it because I thought it was really the best for both of us. Because I do not want to hold her back. I never want to hold it back. I want her to concentrate 100% of her energies on her projects. And if I want to evolve my business, I need someone who is up to it. "

"So, this fight, or argument, it ended up giving positive results," continued Lewis. "We had lunch together, we discussed it. We made the decision. And even though she did not say, "I'm going forward," she was the one who had to use those words, it seemed like a relief for both of us. That's what we had to do. I had the impression that it was a very successful meeting.

But Lewis said he did not want Pulos Going crazy, a show for which they are both executive producers.

"I'm a businessman, I'm not stupid. I know you like Jenni, I love Jenni, "he told his listeners. "So I told him," I do not want you to leave the show. I want you to be with me always with me. … I know the opportunities that emerge from the show. Let's make you a friend, which is our real life. I felt it was a very good heart to heart. I felt good with this lunch. I said, "Let's see what your role is next season, if there's even another season." It was really the end of our lunch.

Their friendship "very much in tact" at the end of their lunch, Lewis said that he felt confident that both would still be able to succeed together. "I was looking forward to it, if there was a future, that she was by my side," he said. "I really thought I'd found the best solution: you're still on the show, you always cash your checks, you're still on TV, and you have plenty of time to pursue your other goals and dreams."
