I workedrked for a person so similar to you for over 10 years, congratulations to Jenny and for moving on with her life.
He shouldn't have called her out in front of everyone? Lol, that's all he ever does with his employees. 🙄
He loves to humiliate his employees and then wonders why they can't stand him.
After all those years Jenni knew what he was like but stayed. No right to whine and complain if you know what he's like and you stay.
Miranda Brooks Agreed!
that's Jeff and that's his show
M Mays He wouldn’t be a boss anywhere but for his own business. He also would be sued if Bravo contracts didn’t state that NO ONE is allowed to file lawsuits against Bravo or another member on the show so long as they are under contract.
Inspirational, encouraging space?????? Are you kidding Jeff? You are completely delusional !!!! It has been getting harder and harder to watch you every season and every episode. The atmosphere is so tense. First Zoila and now Jenni. You're done!
Yet here you are still watching. And telling Jeff off. You're doing a Jenni. Nobody forces you to watch the show! Nobody forced her to stay or turn down an acting job but you both seem to think you can yell at Jeff about YOUR choices.
Here, here! He’s unchecked delusional. Paid to be a pr..k. What great, solid, supportive professionals would work for him in his home?
You're right Miranda Brooks and that's why I deleted my auto timer to record Flipping Out right after that last episode and will not be watching again. Of course, he hasn't been picked up for another season anyway as yet. I think Bravo exec.'s might have deleted their timers too.
@@dolphingray6968 for the knockout win!!!
Having Leah Black there laughing with her ridiculous laugh while you are berating Jenny is disgusting! I like Jeff, but he is a narcissist and if they were really true friends he would not have gone to the extremes he did to attack her around her co-workers and clients.
His problem is once he gets started, he can’t stop and that is a form of abuse. It’s very sad, but a leopard does not change his spots for anybody.
Anya S Leah black played into that entire episode.
Leah Black is a narcissist too. Jeff just can't stop beating this dead horse. He has to make himself right and make Jenny wrong instead of pondering how he could have played any part at all in this situation happening.
He has been trying all this season to improve their work ethic. Jenny got to where she is because of Jeff
Jeff is terrible and Leah is ridiculous! I couldn’t even believe he brought her in to talk to ppl. I was like are they serious with this. If he was serious and wanted to really bring motivation to his company he should’ve either taken his team to a real seminar or brought in a real speaker! Jeff brought in his yes man instead. Jeff has been trying get everyone on his side through his radio show all season. Bottom line is Jeff is a narcissist and always has been. He’s getting worse and worse. I’m so sick of ppl saying things like that’s just the way Jeff is like that excuses his behavior. Gage especially....my Gosh he treats Gage like crap on a daily and he’s excusing his behavior. It’s like Gage has Stockholm’s syndrome! Jeff has never ever been able to keep staff. Just look at his track record. When the only person you have left in your company is your partner that says a lot about you. Jeff is not and will never be a person that can manage his staff. He is very talented as a designer and I do agree he could be even bigger than he is but not with the set-up he has now. If he is going to get anywhere bigger/global as Leah said he is going to have to restructure his management team so someone else is in charge of the employees bc he can’t do it...that’s been proven time and time again.
Cynthia L you are 100% correct. He needs an Office Manager who handles personnel if he wants to keep staff. If I had a boss that yelled and demeaned people like he does, I would never have stayed after a few days. However, anyone he has treated that way with all the yelling, sarcasm, demeaning g comments has a right to file a complaint. He is just doing damage control, I don’t buy it. I feel sorry for Gage, they are tied together with Monroe. It is like Stockholm Syndrome...
Me me me, everything is about Jeff. One of his employees tells him that they aren’t feeling great about their situation and his first thought isn’t can we resolve this, can this be fixed, nope Jeff’s first thought is you are embarrassing me 🙄. No concern for her feelings or why she feels it, just how is this affecting me. Narcissism is real kids and it’s name is Jeff.
Well it's HIS show and HIS business, soooooooooooooooooo
Manx36 exactly. He is such a selfish man and unprofessional that he can’t see the management mistake. And if he is really talking about friendship, what type of friend would want embarrass someone the way he did? He wanted to show off to Leah and others. We all know that he can be passive aggressive and he started throwing shades at Jenni already in this sushi place when Leah was encouraging him to do so. He gotta go! He is not even that great designer and is a horrible human being
@@NolaChick82 that's exactly Rt and he gotta go Nowhere! HIS Show!! 👍
Whomever came up with the show flipping out is genius. Jeff Lewis FLIPPING OUT IS THE BEST PART. He is interesting. His life is interesting. The show is REAL LIFE. When I need to laugh I watch Jeff Lewis. Who thought remodeling could be SO FUNNY and one of the most popular shows EVER.
Jess was made for reality tv
Jeff was so mean and disrespectful to Jenni. She didn’t deserve the way he behaved in front of her coworkers and his client. And for Leah Black to be laughing was disgusting.
Leah is a piece of work
You know this is going to be bad because Jeff has been trying to get in front of this for months.
Kaveh Maguire amen. Must be nice and certainly convenient he has this platform that she doesn’t have to carefully explain his character. He is so sad.
@Ange Exactly how I see it! NOT a Prisoner, made PLENTY of $$$$, and had SO Much Exposure to be Seen, for Free, IF Anyone else in the TV Industry was interested in her! People wld die to have that kind of a Life. Seems like the More people have.. the Less Grateful they are Today. Smh
Jenny hasn't said one unkind thing about Jeff. She was tight lipped and classy to the end. But I believe she's really done with him and the emotional/verbal abuse.
@@morningdove20 So because she has goals and aspirations outside of flipping out she is ungrateful. gtfoh. so I guess she should be happy that he humiliates and tears her down for a job. N less be clear there would be no flipping out show if it wasn't for Jenni sending in a tape to bravo trying to get a show.
@@morningdove20 9
5 months out of the year 4 days a week? That's a blessings not a curse! And look at the house she's literally just bought without Jeff Lewis design or Bravo all of her failed auditions couldn't of afforded her that! Or her wedding or everything else wonderful her and her family have the privilege of. Plus being a full time cast member for over a decade look at the exposure that's given her she's a household name but still no one from castings interested. Sadly not everyone makes it Jenny and that's not Jeffs fault. The part that sticks in my throats about all of this is the official complaint she filed to Jeffs Bosses and Human Resources that's not cool
Maybe Jeff shouldn't be such a nasty nasty mean person. No employer should talk to their employees (all of them!) like he does.
kerrydanger if I had a boss like Jeff it would sit well with me because what you NOT GONNA DO is talk at me but talk to me and with respect and you will get the same in return point blank and to the period
The problem is Jeff gets chummy with his employees and then the line between employer and friend blurs, which actually doesn’t mean you get advantages like one would think but rather-with a high strung perfectionist like Jeff-you get yelled at like someone who has a more intimate relationship with you so knows how to hit you harder when they’re upset with you. That being said, if you watched the episode Jenni had only herself to blame. At a company seminar on making the company more productive she spoke up and said, out of the blue, “everyone needs to know it’s humiliating working here instead of as an actor”, then she told Jeff at a work lunch that his company was the reason she wasn’t further in her career AND sought the other employees to back her up. It was Jenni that turned the conversation away from the professional and brought others into it. If your smart, you know what kind of boss you have, you don’t instigate an argument in public
kerrydanger agreed! I worked in an environment for 7 1/2 yrs where store manager was mentally abusive and even allowed other managers to preform the same way. I was one of the managers that stood up against it towards the end of my time there.
In my opinion it speaks true that you’re not a manager with this work attitude. You can work hard, but it takes a team. How you treat them is in turn a character of pure weakness. Finally, if he’s so great in what he does.....why does he still keep signing for another season🤔?!
Pay those bills and be Andy c’s little bitch while u powder your noses. Sniff sniff.
kerrydanger Jenni didn’t work for Jeff, she worked for Bravo, he gave her small “bonus” for doing the catalog shoots but she wasn’t his employee, she was only at his business during shooting for flipping out and at no other time (during hiatus) did she go to the office to work.
If she wanted to be an actress why did she turn down a possible job? If she turns down a job that's her choice there should be no getting mad at Jeff. At her age there aren't going to be that many offers, if any.
One of my favorite Tony Robbin's quotes is, "when you are selfish you will have pain it's only a matter of time. Jeff is always in pain because he is extremely selfish and operates in his EGO most of the time.
LOL yeah a lot of stock in what that con artist has to say
I love the the show
He’s definitely not selfish. Very generous.
Robbins is a con!
Jeff's narcissism has made his show! Right or wrong, it works for him. However, in real life, narcissism is HARD to deal with on most levels long term. You either accept them or walk away.
I watched the episode and felt so bad for the way he talked to her. As it was happening, you could clearly see that she was breaking down in disbelief. Jeff is a talented person but the way he talks to people is horrendous. Anyone that works there has to be on pins and needles that they can NEVER disagree with him or he will talk to them like trash. Who on earth would want to work in an environment like that? Don't get me wrong, Jenni chose the wrong time to talk about herself but damn he chewed her out like she had stolen from him. Hopefully he doesn't have to lose something or someone that he values to see that his delivery is wrong and CHANGE IT. In this clip, he mentions that he knows it was wrong but will he EVER change it? Maybe this will be the catalyst. I guess we have to wait and see. I wish them both the best.
Jenni from day one wanted to be an actress, doing this show for years, the money and contacts she has made are priceless. Bravo has been very good to Jenni and Jeff too. Love them both.
Jenny received incredible exposure for many, many years. She had ample opportunity to pursue her career and nothing really happened. She met many influential celebrities and no one offered her acting work or audition opportunities that amounted to roles. Jenny and Jeff will part company and hopefully, with time, they can mend their friendship.
Also what better role could she play than the one she has on Flipping Out? Honestly. The things she was interested in doing (sitcoms and ironic rap) have a pretty high fail rate, she doesn't know how lucky she is that those things HAVEN'T worked out. And she's still making damn good money anyways, what is there to be humiliated by?
@@user-dm7dn7oo9r I agree. People can be so ungreatful. damn.
She has something brewing with an HBO series
Victoria Reggio exactly. She obviously wanted the money and tv exposure. She should have left years ago and not waited until she was late 40s to pursue acting.
If only life worked that way. I didn't know there wss a time limit on perusing a dream. But I'm damn sure none of you in this comment section is God to be telling people when, where, and how your blessings will come. jenni took his abuse and bullshit for years and the one time She expressed her feelings she's ungrateful....gtfoh
I am totally in agreement with Jeff after watching the finale tonight. Jenni is living in fantasyland .She is NOT an actress. No one has been beating down her doors for roles.
Exactly!
Jeff is like an abusive boyfriend/husband. He’s a great guy until he hits you, then he’s sorry, begs for your forgiveness and says he’ll never do it again until he does
Jeff was clear in the episode in the direction he wants to go and was apologetic. If she wants to pursue Hollywood, then she shouldn’t be so upset. What’s the problem?
Just saw the episode. I'm on team Jeff. Harsh delivery but that's Jeff Lewis
He admits his delivery isn't always the best, but he is a businessman, he has a business to run and Jenni was not doing her job. Telling him he's preventing her from an acting career is garbage! If she had a legit audition, etc., she would be all over it. She seems out of it half the time, delusional about her "acting career", and generally very unhappy. She is going through some midlife crisis and trying to blame others for her lackluster career. Jeff was not holding her back - SHE was!
If Jenni felt so mistreated, why did'nt she simply quit? And especially if she wants to pursue another career, whatever that career might be. Bottom line, Jenni needs to take responsibility for her own situation.
She was an integral part of the show and incredibly popular. Other people counted on her to continue. I'm not saying she's blameless, but Jeff Lewis' hysterical, frantic speeches about this show his profound narcissism and lack of culpability.
@@WhatFC I get that she was popular but still, that does'nt justify to stay if you feel that mistreated, it's your own responsibility to leave.
And yes, Jeff is everything you say and he admits to it, I have self respect and would not work for him for those exact reasons you mention. It was Jenni's own choice to do it all these years, he did not force her. I think she's realising that her acting ship has sailed, she's sad and depressed about it and taking it out on Jeff. He's very emotional about this conflict, probably because he cares for Jenni and feels betrayed. I watched when she was on WWHL and she's no angel either, shamelessly playing the victim.
@Ange I'm sure lots of people would have watched without Poulos. That isn't the point. The network and perhaps even others involved with the show may have felt she was essential. Either they pressured her to stay or she herself felt responsible to stay.
Jenni should be grateful that Jeff kept her on as long as he did. She was clueless and ineffective as an "EA." However, the all-time "low" on that show was her ridiculous and idiotic "poo poo on the potty" rap routine. I actually stopped watching for a while after that. Jeff has his edges but he is excellent at what he does. The reason Jenny has no career is because she has no real talent. Let her go "poo poo" somewhere else! Jeff is the draw. Jenni was a drag.
He probably said said sorry each time
No shade to Jenni, but I watch for Jeff. I've always watched for Jeff. I couldn't work for him (I'd be fired for my response the second time he demeaned me), but as a show, it's Jeff's world in my view. Jenni has been moaning about her career the entire show. LEAVE THEN. Not even a Bravo spin off in over a decade. It seems to me she's blaming Jeff for her own decisions throughout the years. Own your shit. He doesn't control your actions. The PAYCHECK may have been, but not Jeff.
Jeff has his edges, but the guy is excellent at whay he does I have never been impressed with Jenny as an EA. She seemed clueless and ineffective most of the time. For me, the all-time "low" on this show was her ridiculous "poo-poo in the potty" rap routine. She's a no talent wannabe. That's why no one wants to hire her. She should be grateful Jeff kept her on as long as he did. Now she can poo-poo somewhere else!
A Emery Jeff is a bully and flies off the handle at a moment’s notice. Jenni was being a good friend and did not want to leave him hi and dry in his business and she knows that if she did avail to him saying do what you gotta do, she will hear about it later. Jenni made herself available for him for years, taking his crap the whole time and that’s why he’s considered her a friend. But one can only stretch so far, Zoila is a great example! I think fame got to his head and made him worse than he already is. Jeff my advice for you is to have a great relationship with the Lord. With that comes great relationships with others and by true love. Do it for Monroe. She is watching your every move. Don’t screw it up
@@SoulNSucculent Jenni is responsible for her decisions. Jenni is responsible for her actions. Jenni has been on the payroll of Bravo (or the production company) and not JLD for years. She comes in to film and the rest of the year she has to herself as she's not a JLD employee. What I saw was someone who held onto Flipping Out until something better comes along. Which is understandable, but that can't be put on anyone else. On the last episode he took her crutch out of the equation and now she is free to explore her career full time. 12 months of the year instead of 7. I hope she finds what she's looking for and I hope they come back together as what was clear in the 10 years of this show is that they were family. What was also clear to me is that she stayed too long for her own good if she was that unhappy or that unfulfilled or that humiliated to work at JLD. Friends and family working together is complicated and taking work out of the equation can possibly bring these two back together in the future. I hope.
Most of us watch for everyone else.
@@Angelface11 I highly doubt most watch for everyone else. If the person who is the epicenter of a show and by far the largest personality overshadowing everyone else annoys most viewers, then logic dictates that most actually would have stopped watching.
Thursday night used to be sacred. Love Jeff.
Just heard a caller come on Watch What Happens Live, tonight, and withi Jenni On. Although it was very nice that the Caller gave Jenni a compliment, and said that Jenni Shld have her Own show, I thought that was such False Praise on the part of the Caller. All that did was excite Jenni and give her False Hope. Yet it was easy to see Jenni daring to Dream it as her face blushed and right after the caller Said it. FYI: There wld be Absolutely NO Flipping Out, Without Jeff, so H E L L L O.... What do people NOT get!? Flipping Out.. Jeff Lewis! ONE In The SAME! 😀 👍
If you fail at something for 20 years, you probably aren't going to make it.
I believe she said it was humiliating to work there because Jeff is always treating his employees in humiliating ways. He really goes too far and says too much. I don't blame Jenny at all.
Dang, Jenni totally played the victim. I watched the episode and wondered what Jenni was thinking when she was asked about office improvement and she turned it to about herself. Victim😝. I don't think Jeff handled it well, but I too hate when people flat out lie. Jenni, don't place blame for your lack of acting jobs. You're one of thousands who want to be an actor. Claiming that you chose to go to work versus an audition and using that as an excuse of why you didn't get the job was ridiculous. Audition does NOT=getting the part anymore than going on an interview means you have the job.
Love Jeff, love everything about this show! I'm sad its over, please bring it back bravo!
My opinion is the show got cancelled because not that show was not successful.....it was but Jeff is to rough....he will never keep staff or people to stay with him if he makes them feel bad......why did bravo cancel...maybe filing out had its time and now its time to move over...
Jou where not right how jou than it go for lunch and then tell here jou are than so wrong
The whole ordeal was heartbreaking and Jeff was wrong in calling her a liar. I do wish them the best.
This is all calculated to get more viewers to get get locked into another season
I guess you see how that went. I wasn’t surprised that it didn’t come back.
For the last few weeks when I log onto RUclips I see another video from Jeff Lewis yacking about Jenni and I just have to say my peace. Who do you think between Jenni and Jeff Lewis have consistent issues and problems with both their personal and business relationships? That would be Jeff Lewis. Who do you think has a healthier relationship Jenni and her husband OR Jeff and Gage. I would put my money on Jenni and her husband. You know it's only a matter of time before Jeff and Gage call it quits. You can't have that level of disrespect and that level of being so "conditional" with each other without there being an expiration date. I don't think Jeff has one healthy relationship in his life. Jeff can be very convincing because he's a fantastic salesman but has no emotional maturity and/or emotional intelligence. When this man gets triggered he throws tantrums like a damn two and three-year-old kid. That's the difference between an adult and a child is an adult is supposed to have a higher level of competence when it comes to mastering their emotions. The show is called "Flipping Out" for a reason people!!! He has ZERO boundaries when it comes to his employees which is automatically going to create a very toxic, confusing, and unhealthy environment. Yes, it can be entertaining for some viewers but being a viewer and actually living the experience is two completely different realities. Jeff is always looking for something to go wrong, be wrong, and criticize because that's the mind and psyche of a narcissist. If he practiced gratitude he wouldn't have these types of issues constantly. Narcissists completely lack empathy and the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes so their relationships always have chaos which chaos should be his middle name btw. He's always finding himself in such dramatic situations and this is just one of them!!! How is Jeff being a narcissist anyone's problem but his?? Yet, he likes to make his lack of internal success someone else's issues. Such a child. At the beginning of this video, he states "I'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion. Are you kidding me?! Are you kidding me?!! He who talks the loudest feels the most guilty. Jeff, move on. Stop trying to sell us that you are not the bad guy here. Go meditate, go to a Tony Robbins seminar just stop telling on yourself and move on.
Jenni, know that the smart people will see right through his humor and salesmanship. I'm sure the Universe has wonderful amazing opportunities in store for you.
Jenni knew what he was like and stayed. No right to blame Jeff he didnt force her. Shes married to a dr. she wasnt supporting her kids on her salary. It was her choice to stay blaming Jeff for not getting that job is ludicrous. She's too old to start an acting career.
Very well said. Totally agree.
@@mircat28 She was making $1million a year, so yes she was supporting her family with her salary.
Man i miss Flipping Out!
Well she wins her emmys and oscars you'll see Jeff!
Sike. LOL
alina ward you realize it’s psych right? 😂
❤️ you Jeff!
what episode was this?
You need lessons on how to treat people
I am sick of people who lack realizing how their delivery can be internalized by others as an attack, or negative. Same is true for those who say I am sorry and mean it, however, use statements like "but I was having a bad day, or but I didn't know" I am so sick of clumsy unthoughtful and unfiltered deliveries. This is the very problem we have with our current president. His delivery sucks!!! Just because you're being honest doesn't excuse the manner in which you react. Be more cordial, diplomatic and calm. Children, for instance, don't learn when parents are screaming and yelling, what they hear is the "intimidating" noise and not the message. Jeff is an educated man and should learn how to control his demeanor or rather delivery.
dxr128 Everything you’re saying is absolutely right, including Trump..but the President, I’m realizing he’s downright delusional & more than just a little unfit for society..let alone running the country. Head over to watch last nights Seth Meyers recap of his recent fire interviews & coverage on the ground. It is one of the most embarrassing, humiliating..I’ve run out of thoughts for this human being. There’s way more going on here than just bad delivery.
sweetpeace5 Ad nauseam stream of Trump-hating. Really?! Like, aren’t you sick of it? Obviously you enjoy hitting ur head on the brick wall. Doesn’t it hurt? He’s not going away at all. Tomorrow you will find something of the same thing to be enraged about...I think you’re delusional. Donald Trump’s handing you on a platter an economy to really prosper and do well in. What are you doing with it??
Ange Who’s silly
JENNI 'ACTRESS;! OMG THAT IS COMICAL! jeff buy her a MIRROR. man oh man she has shown her angry pissed off colors in that last episode. do not like her!
Your in the right Jeff! Jenny tanked as an actress and refuses to accept that she lacks talent. She needs to grow up!!!
Totally agree with Jeff on this.
Hey Jeff! Ur Rightt.. I think it was one of the best series yet and BEC it was THAT Raw! And I Don't want to be humiliating to Jenni, she Is so sweet, but Rt Again.. I Didn't Believe that's she had that movie with Nick Cage in the bag either. What crazy person wld have turned That down?? Jenni has had so much FREE TV Exposure for YRS and Someone.. Anyone.. a Producer, a Casting director, Wld have For Sure Not only Noticed her by Now, but she wld have been Snatched up Long ago! One other thing.. Watching Jenni Tonite I picked up that Jenni had other issues going on in her life besides U, Jeff. Who knows, maybe she's Over stressed, don't know. What I Do know is that U were NOT wrong and Def shld NOT have been Blamed for What Jenni has NOT accomplished. And I believe that Everybody watching tonight saw and agrees with that! Lastly, I see that MEGHAN can be a backstabber with U, Jeff. She plays Both sides of the fence. One w U, one with Jenni. Meghan Surely is out for MEGHAN and hey.. why Not! She's allowed to. Just sayin' that Meghan goes Both ways and I sure Don't mean that in a sexual way! Meghan cldn't care less about Ur business either Jeff. This last episode was Sad. VERY Sad. Still.. it was Crazy Good!! Good luck to u Jeff and good luck to Jenni too. I know U tried doing alot of Soul searching in this regard Jeff, but I can only hope that Jenni does the Same. Again I believe there's Clearly and 'obviously' Other issues going on in Jenni's Life and that she's NOT talking about! And on Tonite's episode it shows that U Very Unselfishly set Jenni FREE in order to Really Pursue her Passion now. The Same passion that She Accused U from keeping Her from! And when u did, She got Scared and U Cld See it all over her face! So Yes, I think she was Scared of Moving On from U all along Jeff, and because she was Scared of moving on, she Cldn't Admit to it either. So it then became Easier for Jenni to put full BLAME on U and to use U as an Excuse for the sadness and frustration in Her own life, Instead, Jeff. Sad Jenni. But I hope u get what ur looking for and find your happiness and soon.
Mia fio agreed! If any tv producer of any sort would be interested in Jenny, she would of dropped bravo instantly. But reality is, that she’s not even approached to participate in commercials. Her only “ artistic gig” was to sing WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE.... through bravo and completely thanks TO JEFFS SHOW!
Did jenni go to bravo after the incident or after the lunch
Jennie was the whole show. You got what you deserved.
I watched it last night and it was disgusting to sit and watch how he treated Jenni, how he talked to her and about. it was really bad. I wondered why he kept talking about it. now I know why he's trying to get out in front of it because he was dead wrong. Jenni had every right to report him, no employer has the right to talk to you or treat you like he did.
Think in time these two will mend the fence ...may take ALOT of time as it seems Jeff is the only one now who is self reflecting and owing bad behaviour.Jenni too wrapped in being the victim at the moment. So much hurt on both sides....BUT ...it was a long, deep & honest friendship. The major problem was Bravo hiring Jenni independent of Jeff and Jeff Lewis Design. Sure it's a reality show but it is his business, his responsibility, his reputation . Jenni was great entertainment and think that is what she wanted to do....entertain. Could never have worked in the end....
Wish them both well but I watch the show for Jeff Lewis Design....his friendships and relationships and who works or doesn't work for him matters not to me. Wish his show was carried by a network that was not so drama driven.....but..oh well...wish them both everything good.
Doreen Daykin Your Right Doreen. I also noticed from the first episode of this season that something about Jenni was “off” Her humor was gone. She looks and acts disinterested and even at times seems air headed. Her vibrant, humor and being “involved” in what was going on around her in the business was gone. She was quiet and looked in most situations like she was asleep or somewhere else. Definitely not at work whether it was for Jeff Lewis Design or Bravo!
I've watched every season multiple times. Jeff and all his antics inspires me as a business person myself. The show is called 'Flipping Out' because that's what Jeff does but what he also does is gives authentic apologies and rationale for why he responds to certain people the way he does. ALL bosses lose their shit. If you don't like it leave. If you change Jeff you change the show. I'm here for Jeff and I hope he gets another season and another season after that. He does beautiful work and sometimes the pressure to create and provide for a staff and audience will cause you to FLIP OUT. Looking at the comments I don't see anyone mentioning all the good he's done for current and past staff members well above and beyond what is required as an employer. He's not a shit person; he's a person who clearly has been used and hurt in the past and has a hair-like trigger sense for bullshit. I can't remember one instance when after the smoke cleared he wasn't right. #teamjefflewis #jefflewis #flippingout #jefflewisdesign
Rayna Wrighton I agree Rayna and he has and does a lot GOOD on and off the show. Research him people, His show persona is one aspect of Jeff. And we have loved him for it for 10 years! It’s a hard tough break, for the fans and viewers who loved the dynamic of their relationship which I did. But it is FLIPPING OUT, about Jeff Lewis and company, not anyone else. Take Jeff away and there is no more show. And ABUSE?? the show was built around JEFF FLIPPING OUT!
Agreed!
No matter what an EMPLOYER should not berate an EMPLOYEE like that in front of a CLIENT.
He is very knowledgeable. I luv Jeff Lewis. Wish he was straight. He is the definition of reality tv
I didn’t think the episode was a massive blow up, as forecasted. I think, as hinted here, Jenny was awful and then blamed Jeff for not having an acting career-not for the first time-and he called her on it, and when specifics came into it she very stupidly lied. I didn’t hear him call her an F’in Liar in any explosive heated way, but more in a gotcha laughing way. I think she was embarrassed more than hurt about his words. I mean he hires someone to bring productivity for his company up, when it’s her turn to speak she ignores his company and says “its humiliating working here instead of being an actor”!-rude and if she was a real employee she’d be fired or on warning for wasting valuable time, then she forgets the schedule which he’s almost fired her for before, she is clear that working for him is the reason SHE thinks she doesn’t have an acting career, and then when pressed about opportunities she lies. She had a lot more to be apologetic about at the end of the episode than Jeff, but she walked in there prepared to let him grovel and put him in his place. While calling her out and having this argument in public and then a car with others wasn’t a good idea, Jenni started it by bringing it up at the company meeting. I was so happy he fired her
Jeff is so right, the truth hurts. So if she is getting to soft she should have just left with grace but she had to try and take him down. Shady. Jeff is and always will be unfiltered and tells you like it is which is why millions have tuned into his show for years. Not her little rapping career or acting.
Oh, Gage, you’re turn is coming!
and it did!
Couldn’t stand him from the jump 🖕
Love the show!
Regardless of how Jeff reacted, Jenni DID bring up [in the middle of a work lecture, no less] how much she hated her job. In front of a client, too. How ungrateful. He did the right thing.
The truth will all ways set you free.
This is all too heartbreaking... there is no winner in this. I hope that they in time can figure it out.
JEFF FALLS OUT WITH EVERYONE. JENNI AND JEFF BOTH MADE THE SHOW GREAT. I WISH THEM BOTH THE BEST.
Watched the finale. It was obvious to me that what Jeff wants and what jenni wants is no longer compatible. Shame that Jeff was so ugly about how he called jenni a liar. Hurt to the core. And after Jenni had stated she felt humiliated working for Jeff there was no where else for their hurts to go. And after Jenni expressed she felt hurt that Jeff didn’t believe her it was the end. They both knew down deep that they needed to go their separate ways but neither could bare to say it to make a clean break. By expressing their grief the way they did made it easier. Hopefully they can move on but egos, pride and feelings of betrayal whether true or not may not allow time to heal. Feelings don’t have to any basis in reality. They just are. Both Jeff & Jenni were holding each other back from growing in their dreams, their careers. So sad but sometimes even the closest and best friendships have a expiration date.
I have watched Flipping out from the beginning, and I enjoy it for entertainment and often, shock value. Jeff is extremely talented as a designer. He is a visionary and a go-getter. However, as a human being, he fails miserably. His demeaning antics toward his employees is appalling. The revolving door of past employees speaks loudly to his arrogance and insensitivity. I wouldn't last a week as his employee. But before I left, I would relentlessly tear him a new a - - hole ! His work 'family' dysfunction is legendary, largely due to the fact that his colossal ego and sense of entitlement causes feelings of resentment and anger in everyone around him. But Jeff's 'shit-show' makes for 'must watch' TV. Being honest, how many people would watch if he was Mr. Nice Guy? Sadly, as time passes, Jeff is going to look around for a friend and their will be noone there. Jenny should have left a long time ago. All the drama doesn't affect me personally, but I can't help but be concerned for his daughter, and the development of her character. She will be the ultimate loser in Jeff's 'me first' world.
Exactly!!
When I saw this episode and heard her say she was humiliated working there, I was horrified and couldn’t believe she wasn’t fired right there on the spot. She did come across as the victim and never acknowledged her side of the hurt.
Friends don't call out friends in front of other people, especially if you know or feel they lied about something. You tell them one on one. "Hey girl, you know I know you were lying, righf? Putting her on blast was wrong Jeffrey.
I love u Jeff !!
What a load of crap. Jeff has been a narcissist since day 1. He can be generous, look how he took care of his Grandmother. He treated Jenni like crap ( actually illegally as an employer ) but it was funny. I laughed at how those two interacted. I watched the show to see it. Leah asked if anybody wanted to say anything & Jenni spoke up. She is the voice of " Watch What Happens Live" All in all, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. AND.... Bravo had better get their legal dept to give Jeff a crash course in employee/employer relations. It's HIS company and HIS show but every employee could use him for hostile working environment.
Jeff was embarrassed by Jenny saying that she has been humiliated over the years for working for Jeff? Jeff's motto is: "Do as I say a not as I do." Jeff takes no responsibility for his actions and, yet, when one of his employees goofs up he pounces and destroys them verbally.
Jeff always responds with his emotions in every situation, never stopping TO THINK through a situation. He wonders why he hasn't had the success to build up his business. All you have to do, Jeff, is review the last eleven years of video footage and you'll find the answer!!
Perhaps this was edited, but when she got the house that Jeff and Gage wanted, the look on Jeff's face said it all....the writing was on the wall for Jenni. She was a dead ma walking!
He’s known jenni wants to be an actress since day 1
She should have never said she was humiliated working for him. That hurt his feelings and he hurt her, it's simple. Hurt ppl hurt ppl. Hopefully one day they can come back together. I bet they will.
Jenni is a very lucky lady. She may not have the acting career she wanted, but she has become very wealthy and built an name for herself in an industry that is very difficult to break into her. A million unemployed actors would love to be in her shoes. Count your blessings Jenni and thank Jeff for giving you the opportunity to be where you are today....even if he can be a grade A dick sometimes!
I will not miss Jenni.
Everyone knows what Jeff is like and he is just great to watch,
She is absurd to act surprised. It will b very lonely for her career without the ride on his coat tails.
Well said. Jenni has made a great life for herself, healthy children, great husband, great job, just moved into George Harrison's old home.
Time to move on, kids. Complaining doesn’t fix the problem. Go your separate ways. The opportunity may present itself in the future, as friends. Off camera.
If you have to explain the show. It was true that you are awe full!
Jeff Lewis Design doesn't need Jenni but Flipping Out does. Jenni was one of Jeff's best friends. That's no way to treat a friend even if you had a point.
Do u blame her for saying that? And ur going by show and she said you u held her taping is different that whole year off camera and before you never had a show but she was around off camera here
Lea asked everyone where they saw themselves in the future.
Jeni was basically saying she wanted to be an actor- ( she is embarrassed that's she had to be an assistant-FOR ANYONE ).
Not ment to disrespect or minimize your business.
ALSO she was auditioning for her own reality show, but they notice you in the background instead.
True you are more interesting. But you have to give Jeni some credit, she is the reason you got discovered.
tha show, is called flipping out,,,,so his, employees, need to deal, jenni , a baby, he never held you back, you were, not good,,,, if not for the show, jenni, would, NOT have no airtime, EVER, she should be grateful, jeff is right
Amen!! She's just trying to squeeze an extra plot line out of this . Ride a few more minutes of fame out of this. Don't go away mad Jeni, just go away!
Jeff is just too much! a very selfish , mean and arrogant brat. He was not considerate of Jenny feelings / well being. Making her go to Florida with the zika epidemic when she was pregnant. etc.
Jenny will be much better off without him as he is not grateful for all her sacrifices or friendship.
No matter how much counseling, it will not change his core , which is a nasty person.
Am surprised Jenny stuck with him for so long , she will prevail as good person always wins in the end. She handled the situation well and best luck to her .
Good riddance to Jeff, What goes around, comes around, remember that.
Gage is gone, Jenny is gone....................he's a big bully, picks on people for enjoyment. He's minimizing his own actions.
I love Jeff, I watch flipping Out every evening that's how much of a fan of the show I am. With that said I will never watch this particular episode they're talking about again it was depressing for fans to watch I know it wasn't just me. I do think Jeff need to work on his delivery with his staff including how he treats Gage. He embarrasses his staff way too much and sometimes he's just down right mean. But we the fans can also see the good in him. Life is short hope he & Jenni work it out.
Our opinions are only opinions, only the people involved can really pass judgement.
Based on what's shown in the previous years, there is history of behaviour.. Would it be OK for Monroe's future bosses to treat her the way JL does with his contractors, employees and clients. A reality check for the reality series..
Good for her for getting away from this monster.
Jenny had 7 months your right. Not Jeff's fault at all.
it is a shame this long term relationship ended this way.
It’s over. I don’t think the show will be back.
Liz Rohme its time to end the series
U can't always get where and what u want.
Gage and Jeff have good radio voices
DrMario Pepper are you saying they are ugly and don’t look good on TV? Now you are being abusive.
If he wasn't 'in-the-wrong' then he wouldn't be justifying his actions. Good luck Jen, you're gonna go far
So how's being an actress working out for Jenny?! I haven't seen her in anything I hope it's working out well..
all this is great publicity for the show....
Think you need to hear! God Complex for sure....
It's beautiful watching yourself behave shamefully?
Does he ever ever come up for air ? Really tho
I really didn't help that the woman with bad hair kept laughing loudly, seemingly egging Jeff on.
It seemed to me that Jenni wasn't saying at all what Jeff thought she was saying in the last episode. Think she was saying she did care about Jeff and his business so much that she'd given up other things to roll with him, would continue to do so, and that she was saddened that he seemed to be implying she wasn't giving her all when she thought she was giving as much as she could. Jeff seemed to be coming for Jenni, that the whole awful Lea Black stuff was a set up to get her. Jeff was vicious.
Jeff reminds me of me when in having raging PMS. But that's him all the time. He just needs to have his hormones levels checked and leveled out. But on the other hand, I do understand why he was so pissed when Jenny made the comment that he has held her back. This show was the best thing Jenny had going for her.
If she hated it so much why did she keep signing contracts to come back? Yes, he can be a prick, but come on. It must not have been that bad.
Gage, You're next. This guy gets rid of everybody.
And in 2023, his current assistant Shane Douglas is the next one.
Jeff Lewis wouldn't have a brand, 'successful' business, LET ALONE a reality show if it wasn't for Jenni! It wss her & ex hubby who pitched an idea for a show. She's practically begging Jeff to help her make this tape that network wanted asap! He was difficult and giving her a hard time (prob saying this dream wont happen, were wasting time) He finally, at the LAST MINUTE, agreed to preform as her friend & give a SHORT scene for the show.
The network got back to Jenny, who said they loved her inner action with Jeff and they came up with flipping out. Jenni doesn't dispute that she was a little bit Disappointed & maybe jealous that Jeff was gonna be the star. But after 3 days, she was happy, thought it was going to be a great opportunity regardless and she was still going to be co-star.
If you re watch flipping out, which I believe is on Amazon prime, he was constantly giving her ultimatums about her acting, how much time it was taking out of his business, and said YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE … RIGHT NOW, my business or acting.
He made fun of her rap song, and just Belittled Jenni. He constantly made her feel guilty about going to an audition at any time. He was not flexible!! I think Jenni eventually stopped telling him or any of them, about ANY possibility of her own TV career that did not involve him.
He didn't want her to succeed On her own. But it was her that's helped him build his career. And build his business up from a declining housing market (2007 remember... where there was no money to flip houses or make it back) and 11 years later hes now worth about $10M.
You could tell from SEASON ONE he was struggling. He treated her like dirt and not a grateful friend nor boss!
i always wanted jenny to wake the hell up and give jeff her ass he so richly deserves to kiss.
Regardless of anything else, I completely agree that it was completely inappropriate for Jenny to say she was humiliated to work for you. In the real world just that alone would get anyone fired. Sounds like she has alot of excuse mechanisms for herself all set up so she can "fail" without any ownership. That being said, plenty of times I've seen Jeff go off on many including Gage, Jenny and others that were nothing short of maniacal. In fact I stopped watching for a few seasons and only got reinterested due to Sirius Xm show. But with this situation what I could see from last episode Jenny really was in the wrong in many ways and should take responsibility. When I saw her face after Jeff saying she should move on it was like all her "reasons" for not having an acting career are gone and she has to face the music. We are all human and can procrastinate and place obstacles in front of ourselves. But she also had a pretty sweet gig on Jeff's show.
I was surprised he apologized but it doesn't surprise me now he is kinda backing away from the apology by saying they BOTH should have apologized to each other. I think Jenny is a wonderful person, but if Andy, with the architect degree, just quit after the Lea Black seminar, Megan already gave her resignation, and Jenny is laid off (which is a good idea...she is married to a dr. now and has 2 young kids and just doesn't want to work there anymore...let's be honest), it means that the only workers in the office left that haven't quit are Jeff's male assistant, Tyler, who looks miserable (I have yet to see him smile...ever) and Jeff's lover, Gage. That's it. Lea is right, this is an excellent opportunity to get off tv...I know he's scared that the big $$$ will go away, but he got his radio show and he still has his successful business (off-camera) as well as his paint products and any other making money ventures he has. He'll be fine. This should be the end of the road for "Flipping Out". Go and hire people who just want to work for you and have your vision, Jeff, and won't just work for you to just be on tv. You had a good run of many years...this is a golden opportunity to follow Lea's advise, close down the show or move it to another network and revamp it...or just be off-camera and hire people who want to work for YOU.
It backfired on Jenny haha she should’ve just not mention her supposedly acting career NOW WHAT JENNY!?
he's too much!!! LOL His friends should listen to this,,,,, THERE NEXT to get turned on if they don't agree with him!!!! RED FLAG
I know this has nothing to do with this but she did buy the house you wanted first. A kick in the face to you and gage Jeff.
