Jeff Lewis claps back at Brynn Whitfield’s ‘pig’ comment and he’s NOT holding back
Jeff Lewis fires back at Brynn Whitfield this winter after comments she made on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. By the looks of things, Brynn slowed down on her comparisons of Jeff to farmyard animals once Kathy Hilton stepped in. Now, Jeff is dishing out his take on things – and he’s not holding back.
Brynn Whitfield landed herself in a sticky situation on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this December. The Real Housewives of New York star tells Andy she’s “energized for the show’s reunion, adding: “A lady doesn’t wrestle with pigs… none of my friends are pigs, Jeff Lewis is a pig, but I’m ready to clear the air.”
Kathy Hilton questions Brynn
How awkward! After Brynn slates Jeff Lewis right off the bat on WWHL, the show’s other guest, none other than RHOBH legend herself Kathy Hilton, chimes in.
Kathy asks if Jeff is on Brynn’s show, to which she says: “No, I think he wishes though. he acts like he wants to be on it…”
Being a loyal friend to Jeff, Kathy casually responds back: “I like him. I’m surprised you don’t like him…”
Hoping to get Kathy on side, Brynn gives the RHOBH star some ammo: “Mmm… he talks about your sister…”
Kathy asks: “Oh, he does? Which one?”
Brynn then tells her: “Kyle,” before adding “That’s why he sends her orchids all the time to apologize.”
The Beverly Hills star doubles down on her Jeff defense at this point and dismisses Brynn’s words: “Oh, he’s just trying to have fun… this is Hollywood, baby, we gotta just take it, you know?”
Brynn then does a 180. She tells Kathy and Andy: “This is the thing. Jeff and I would actually get along. He’s like a silly billy…”
Andy agrees: “You would.”
Jeff Lewis responds to Brynn Whitfield’s ‘pig’ comment
After being called a “pig,” Jeff then takes to his radio show, SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, to respond to Brynn’s comments.
He tells his guests, Kelly Bensimon and Crystal Minkoff how he’s “not that affected by her calling him a pig.”
But, he explains: “I just find it interesting because I feel like if I were to call someone a pig, there would be major backlash and consequences… I think Andy was even uncomfortable when she said that… I also didn’t feel like it was a very intelligent response. I’m an avid housewife watcher and I comment, and I’ve never really called her names. She’ll say I called her names but prove it.”
He adds how he “appreciated” Kathy sticking up for him on WWHL and tells Crystal and Kelly:
“Kathy and I, we know each other. We hung out one night at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and we had a great time together.”
Speaking of Brynn saying he “sends Kyle a lot of orchids,” Jeff states:
“Well, that doesn’t sound like a bad thing. That’s a nice thing and look, Kyle and I have been friends for a long time. You know, I’ve made jokes at her expense on this radio show, and I’ve apologized, and I’ve sent her orchids and we’re good.”
The radio show host goes on to say he “found it interesting” when Brynn said: “A lady doesn’t wrestle with pigs.”
“I don’t find her to be a lady. I don’t even find her to be an adult… You know, I think she’s desperate for attention. She flirts with other people’s spouses and partners and parents… This is what I have noticed.”
