Jeff Lewis reacted to The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 finale on a podcast on Tuesday, sharing his thoughts on the claims Brynn Whitfield made against Ubah Hassan.

Months after the 54-year-old Flipping Out alum was entangled in his own feud with Brynn, 39, who called him a “pig,” Jeff accused her of being a “flat-out liar” as he reflected on the way she “[recreated] the narrative” between her and Ubah, 41, by suggesting that Ubah had used her past sexual trauma against her.

“I was brought into this particular season for something I said, but this is what Brynn does: She will misinterpret what you say. She recreates the narrative. She puts words in my mouth. She said that I said something that I did not say, and then she gets everyone rallied up to believe it,” Jeff explained on the January 28 episode of My Friend, My Soulmate, My Podcast.

On the RHONY finale, Brynn accused Ubah of being insensitive about her past assault by suggesting she slept with men to get ahead. However, shortly thereafter, as Ubah was presumed the villain, she admitted that Ubah may not have known that she’d been the victim of sexual abuse. 

For Jeff, Brynn’s manipulation of the storyline was something he’d experienced himself. 

“I asked a simple question, ‘What does she do for a living?’ And since nobody was saying anything, I said, ‘I believe she’s being supplemented.’ That can mean a lot of things. She can be dating someone long-term who is helping her out financially. She could have a family member that’s helping her out financially, there’s a lot of connotations to that,” he shared.

Then noting that his statement was not made to insinuate that Brynn was “a prostitute,” Jeff recalled Brynn accusing him of saying something else.

“There is no point in time that I said she’s a sex worker. [But] that’s what she went around saying. ‘Jeff Lewis called me a sex worker. Jeff Lewis said that I had sex for money,’” he explained. “[And] that’s what she did the entire season to every one of her cast members.”

“Did I feel a little vindicated in the finale?” he continued. “I did. People saw her for who she is. She is a flat-out liar. And I don’t believe anything she says.”

The Real Housewives of New York City season 15 reunion continues with part two next Tuesday, February 4, at 8/7c on Bravo.
