Jeff Lewis made some interesting comments about his former “Flipping Out” co-star and executive assistant, Jenni Pulos.

During an appearance on the June 18 episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” the show’s host, Andy Cohen, inquired if Lewis would ever reconcile with Pulos following their years-long feud.
“I think that the answer is yes. Because I’m a very nostalgic person. I love you guys together,” said Cohen.
Lewis replied that he was not against eventually mending his relationship with his former assistant.
“You never know. Maybe someday we’ll be in our 80s and pick up the phone. Yeah, maybe on my deathbed,” said Lewis.
However, in a May 2024 episode of the “Two Ts In A Pod” podcast, Lewis stated that he would not repair his relationship with Pulos.
“Sometimes, we take things too far that you can’t come back from,” stated the former Bravo star.
