He’s always honest!
Jeff Lewis never shies away from being 100% real… even if some people don’t like what he has to say.
Regardless of some of his hot takes, the reality star always delivers when he renovates celebrity homes, which he’s been doing for many years now.
On his hit show Hollywood Houselift, Lewis is flipping gorgeous homes upside down and changing lives. Plus, his clientele is very exclusive and star-studded.
With season two featuring A-list celebrities like Anthony Anderson, Noah Beck, Kate Bosworth, Josh Duhamel, Sara Foster, Regina Hall, Christina Ricci, and Gina Rodriguez, there’s no shortage of big personalities taking up each and every home renovation project.
“I knew the first season was successful. The celebrities are very protected and as much as they try to protect themselves, we insert ourselves in their lives in a way where they really can’t hide,” Lewis tells PRIDE.
Hollywood Houselift has also shown Lewis’ personal growth as he gets to show off his incredible team, adorable daughter Monroe, and the lessons he’s learned from reality TV fame.
“I’ve burned so many bridges in my life. Is this the hill I want to die on? Most of the time, I say no. If I have a conflict with a celebrity, there is a part of me that wants to tell them off, but then I think… what are the repercussions of this?”
In fact, Lewis even bit his tongue when one of his celebrity clients on the current season started causing problems. Instead of getting into a verbal spar, the renovator took the high road.
“There was one person, for a minute, who got a little nasty. I’m glad I took a breath and didn’t respond immediately, because that could have ended very badly. I was able to work it out with this person. It was a very successful project and reveal. I’m very proud of myself that I didn’t fly off the handle, because by the way, the person was being a b*tch.”
Although he kept the peace on the set of Hollywood Houselift, the star had no problem voicing his opinions on everything Real Housewives last month at BravoCon.
Lewis notably came for RHOSLC star Monica Garcia by saying she was on “food stamps” and that he didn’t appreciate her lifestyle being shown on the flashy program.
“I stand by what I said. I think she’s a miscast. I don’t think she lives a life that’s aspirational. Everyone I know who watches the show loves the affluent lifestyle. This is not it. I don’t think she’s a right fit.”
