There's something psychologically very sick about Jeff -- he is clearly twisted from some sort of past trauma . He perpetually tests all his employees loyalty by essentially abusing them verbally and mentally with sporadic praise. His complex often depraved bipolar nature is unpredictable and insufferable On one hand - he appears to be charming , witty , generous and displays some sensitivity. And on the other hand - he is petulant , sarcastic , immature , vindictive , highly controlling , constantly seething with underlying anger ... and can be utterly ruthless . His hypocritical ego demands constant adulation but his paranoia won't allow him to trust anyone because he himself is incapable of what he demands . He can dish it out but can't take it. He is untrustworthy , fickle .. a walking contradiction . He wanted to administer the maximum amount of pain and humiliation to Jenny on camera because this consummate business man would sacrifice his Mother for ratings . That's probably where all his issues stem from. I hope this is the end of him because Jenny was a Saint and the one and only person who stood by him and put up with his BS. for far too long . He didn't deserve her loyalty Shame on you Jeff .And Jenny this is probably the best thing that's happened to you.. you didn't deserve to be treated so badly by this pathetic excuse of a human .
You explained it to a T! I don't know why anybody on the show has tolerated his abuse just to be on TV. Like you said, he's very sick. Gage seems like a good guy, wonder how long he'll put up with it?
@veronica carlson The show was originally centered around Jenni and she's an executive producer. Jenni would have had a job/got paid regardless but the focus of the show was Jenni and Jeff's relationship so Jeff was not going to fire her.
He called her out on her lies. She said she had an offer, an offer to audition. She is something else. Jeff gave her a platform and she got what she wanted. Time off to audition
Ummm he means well his delivery sucks but that’s what makes the show good Jenny wanted this or she said she did, never thinking he would actually fire her everyone is replaceable
@@lucyclark1301 I agree, Jeff does a lot things wrong but he was not wrong for firing her. She told him in front of the entire office that it was humiliating work for him. He has feelings and could only imagine how he felt then when he didn’t go along with her Nicolas Cage story, calls his boss and went after the show.
Jeff has been more a friend to Jenni than you or her realized. People like wants someone to give you gold stars and the end of the day. Wake up out of la la land
Jenni has way more class than Jeff ever will. The way she’s carried herself while Jeff bashed her in the media with lies about her filing a complaint with Bravo, only for Jeff to backpedal when she finally spoke to deny that accusation amongst others he made, shows what a class act she is.
@veronica carlson Jeff most certainly backpedaled on his original statements that Jenni filed a complaint agaist him and other statements he made. Furthermore, once the season ended Jeff said on his radio show that he handled himself poorly and that he regretted embarassing Jenni in front of clients and co-workers and for letting their friendship end. Also, it was Jeff not Jenni who initiated their big fight which resulted in the two parting company. Let's not forget that horrible scene in the car where Jeff is making fun of Jenni and calling her a liar in front of a client. But before all of this, there have been years and years of Jeff belittling Jenni and other employees in front of clients, so it's ridiculous to say that anyone embarassed Jeff in front of a client.
I believe this was the worst decision he ever made she was the one who held him down to everything and she has such a kind heart she's such a wonderful person it's sad when you see an extra little a good person you just fired and it looking are like I just fired you shame on you Jeff she will go on into bigger and better than she's her own show
bsr8129 Wow have you watched from the beginning? Did you see how and what Jenni had to do to keep the show going, and there is a reason why the show is called what it is you really might want to watch the old shows, it wouldn’t have made it this far without her. That’s the truth still love Jeff he is funny but I would say that it for the show!!!!
@@reese7299 yea i have watched from the beginning, she help then she was there then, is she there any more, no not 100% she works 3 days a week with him, in the show they had to change her roll as she wasnt there any more. Hes running a business not making a show. You cut the fat.
bsr8129 I think she helped build his company to where it is and has he hired more employees she wasn’t needed as much, because of her children and he was ok with that, really I thought when they were eating they would work everything out but, to get the boot it was harsh. Yes she carried the show for years because he lost it on a lot of employees and the people he was working for now that he has a staff she isn’t needed cruel she has invested a lot of years like Zola only to be put out my opinion Jeff also thinks the show might suffer from this move
DrMario Pepper I think he said all the positive things knowing full well what he was about to do was wrong. Jenni showed her true love for Jeff and apparently even finished lunch. If the roles had been reversed I’ll bet Mr Wonderful would never have been so gracious and kind.
As much as I like Jeff he’s a narcissist. He loves to be in control. That’s his way of winning. Unfortunately he will be the old man that no one attends his funeral because of the way he lived his life and treated others.
She told everyone at that meeting that she was ashamed to work there because she wanted to follow her "dream job". He let heir go to follow that dream. Why is he the bad guy?
She doesn't realize it now, but this is the best thing to happen to her. She will move on to much bigger and better things, and not get verbally abused in the process.
Exactly. I literally had to just stop watching the show early on in that season because I just could not watch him do that to her. After how he tested Zoila, and losing her you would think he would have learned. She and Jenni were family more than employees at that point. I use to like him but I'm disgusted by who he really is.
he is such a bad boss and a friend , she clearly is going thru a difficult time after giving birth and he is so blind that he makes everything so much harder for her by bulling her until she breaks ugh l really hopes she comes thru and that she realize that no amount of money is worth going thru that sort of treatment that just gives you bad mental health and lack of inner peace
What you ppl didn’t realize was that he let her go because she called the executives at Bravo(way above Andy) and filed a (Me-too) complaint against Jeff. Jeff found out right before their meeting.
Jeff is a bad person. That's it. He is vile but he only acts that way because he was treated like trash as a child. He is a god awful human being. Shame on you and the collagen.
Worse because Zoila would tell him off. Jenny is clearly shaken by such a blow. She reminds me of someone who has been through a war and now needs to be treated for PTSD. He’s a monster.
Jeff said in an radio interview he is regretting it, too little to late, she was always there for him also on a personal level, like a good friend would do, poor Jenny, I still cry when I see this scene
I feel bad for them. I think it cut him deep that she said he was holding her back, so he let her go. I think what she said was out of anger. Instead of apologizing and trying to work it out, they both had their pride. So sad.
When Jenni came back from maternity leave she found out in the car that her position was taken by that guy. The look on her face then spoke volumes. She had been demoted....in the car of course. I feel sorry for Gage and for every single employee he’s had or still has. He says there’s a right way (his way) of doing everything. Well guess what Mr ego, there’s also a right way and wrong way to treat and talk to people, and it’s not your way. Jenni smoothed over one situation after another for Jeff thru the years when the hole in the front of his face was rude and horrible even to clients. I think you’ve really screwed up Jeff.. I think you blew it. And BTW, Jenni says she DID NOT go to bravo or Jeff’s bosses etc. Remember, all along Jennifer has stated she was fired or let go. Jeff on the other hand has claimed to be innocent of everything. I think Monroe is a doll but can’t help but wonder what Jeff is really like as a parent? One has to question that with the short fuse and disposition he has.
She didn’t even work for Jeff at that point! It was an act. She worked for Bravo. The rest was real but Jenny’s part was fake. She only showed up for filming.
Jeff is so wrapped up in himself that he can see nothing else. It is sad to think that Jenni is gone, but - hey - maybe this is the best thing that has happened to her in 16 years. I know you will do well Jenni - you are a wonderful person and anyone would be thrilled to hire you work for them. All the best .... for the rest of your life. I can see great things in your future.
He seems cold, but he actually cares. She dedicated her whole life to his dream and business, and there is probably something better and more fulfilling out there for her.
Jeff stated on a radio show that an hour before he met Jenni at this lunch, he found out she had went to Bravo complaining about him and her job. He initially hadn't planned to fire her but felt he had to to protect himself and his company. He did what was best for both of them in my opinion.
News Flash: Jenni and Jeff have had a turbulent relationship for some time now and she was let go years ago. She technically wasn’t employed by him anymore, but by Bravo, hence why she was still appearing on the show. In a morbid and ironic way, this is Jenni’s best acting gig, pretending to be amicable with Jeff Lewis. Still heartbreaking...
Jenni's career is not about to take off because the truth is that her failure to land any acting jobs had nothing to do with Jeff. She has no more excuses and I think it's going to be a tough pill to swallow.
Mandlakazi Ngumbela I think Jenni actually loves this whole charade of being Jeff’s “employee” and then blaming him for her acting career not taking off. Then she doesn’t have to admit that she’s just a failure as an actress and it’s no one’s fault but her own.
In management you have to start out with the positive, then the bad in the middle and then end positive.. poor Jenny wasn’t thinking it was the end, I’m sure she probably wanted to slowly bow out but that food looked liked it was good so she was speechless
This makes me so sad I was really loving this show !!!! I liked that it was a unique show and Jeff and Gage are a stunning couple with a gorgeous little girl !!! But what made the show was the dynamic and special bond Jeff and Jenni had they were more than coworkers it was actually a really beautiful friendship!!! And now I'm not excited for the show I'm just sad and was it worth it worth throwing away something so beautiful? Really ? Because at the end of the day when family fights noone wins ! And they were basically family. 😥♥️
That was and is unkind, unlove, unforgiven, and wickedly cold of Jeff. He has a good heart. Yet that heart is being pulled like a puppet and on a string by so called entertainment, friends, lovers, etc. Jeff never once thought that the shoe could be on the other foot. Just you all remember, God is in control, and certainly don't love ugly ways and intentions. Jenny, like a director stated to me once, upon letting me go, he said: 'you will be okay' & to this day I am ok and semi happy. Go love on your hubby, your children, while regroup and reevaluate your goals, friends, friendships and those you allow in your circle of trust and heart. Not everyone is who you think they are, but what you believe they are
See how sick that move was ?? Vicious , while she was eating .After all she's done for him 😰😢😰 . Jennie hat's off to you girl , you have weathered all his Bull and hung in there anyway !! So proud of you . I as a woman are super proud of your strength dedication , tolerance, loyalty and you alway's baked it with a smile . Pat yourself on the back Jen , i will truly , truly miss you girlfriend .😢❤💐 😢 Now go continue getting that love from your beautiful family .
Jenny ruined the meeting & complained often about how the job held her “career” back. I think Jeff did the best thing he could for both of them. She didn’t need the money. She’s a doctors wife. Go get famous jenny
She wasn't into it and wants to act so GO ACT. I would have fired her . She blames him for not having time to get an acting career going so now she has time .
Watching this, none of it sits well- not in 2018. The way this was handled during their lunch, came across highly impersonal and careless /. I expected more from Jeff especially due to their longstanding career together.
It was probably the biggest relief in her life to have this conversation... He's a very difficult person to work with...2 much Drama for anyone to put up with...i had a breakdown just watching what he put people and poor Jenny through
I totally understand his decision, she wasnt there for the right reasons anymore. She wasnt even on his payroll for years. And right before that lunch he found out that she went behind his back to the bosses of bravo and said some horrible things about him. She wants to focus 100% on her 'acting' so now she will have all the time in the world. Lets see if she will succeed now lol.
wwwaimiecapricecom The difference is that Jeff actually makes money in his design business and he’s an excellent designer. I’m pretty sure another network would be willing to give him a show. What kind of income does Jenni have without the show? (Not including her husband’s income). Jenni gets paid very well from this show which is why she stayed so long. She even expected Jeff to keep her an a fake employee even after complaining about him cause she needs to Bravo check.
😲smh THAT......that just completely takes my breath from me! As much as I believed I was 'team jeff', I have NOT been able to watch em since this craziness went down💔!!! He lost a fan in me! I cannot watch him anymore! Never knew I felt this way towards him! I'm floored! Just totally absolutely floored!
I used to think it was his act, but if he can fire Jenni that easily....the man has no heart AND a false sense of self to think SHE wasn’t a critical part of his success. Bye JL.
Jeff did nothing wrong because she was harboring a lot of anger towards him and instead of making a change, she starting blaming Jeff for her failed career.
Poor Jenny trying to eating the food soo fast and drinking her drink like drinking water try to pass that bad feeling how is it feel to be fired hope so after all this she didn’t get stomach aide 😥
I was never so happy to see rubber lips finally done with TV . I just worry that the little girl should really be watched very closely. This man has not attain the level of maturity to be looking after a child .
Poor Jenni. Poor Jeff. I feel sorry for both of them. For Jenni for being sabotaged. I don't know how Jenni was able to eat after receiving that bombshell from Jeff. For Jeff, because he has built a wall around himself. The problem with building a wall is it keeps the bad feelings out but you are also trapped within a wall. Reconcile your differences.
She kept eating because she knew she didn’t really work for him, but WITH him and probably thought it would be an issue on next season for Bravo’s storyline as that’s who she really worked for. I mean you make a business improvement seminar about you, you mention the business in question as an embarrassment to you, you attempt to get your co-workers to side with you against your boss at lunch, you make up a lie about an acting part (one that made no sense when you know she doesn’t work for Jeff, so it wouldn’t be him to give her time off, and she only works on the show 12 weeks an yr), you FORGET the planner (the closest she’s come to being fired in past was that thing specifically), and she clearly kept in touch with office staff ripping Jeff as she knew about the changes. She’s “surprised”, no she thought her part in the show was changing
I really do believe Jeff's Pain comes from he misses his mom I lost my father when I was nine I understand that pain it's something you learn to live with but it never goes away when it's your parent❤ I'm praying for you
Jenni acts so shocked here when Jeff cans her as if she didn't expect him to actually do something like that. She was with him long enough to witness how he treated other employees and I guess she thought that she was special. Nope!
I'M STILL FEELING THE HORROR WHEN I 1ST WATCHED THIS This Was AGAIN!!! Hard To Watch..... He's Got Such A Creepy Soul He's A Very Horrible Person ALL OVER He's TALENTED In His CRAFT But he's HORRIBLE
Put yourself in this situation; a person tells you their dreams where not reached because of you and helping you succeed, you are shocked, hurt and saddened. You tell the person Go now follow what really makes you happy what you’ve always longed for. Forget that it’s Jeff and Jenni. It played out the way it should have maybe should have happened years ago, as Hollywood is mainly not too kind to actors after a certain age. My thought on the situation.
My Gosh.. the hurt and devastation that flashed across her face. All of his monumental BS that she put up with. No one deserves to be abused and mistreated Jenni... NO ONE.. Jeff has severe psychological problems and he takes delight on pushing people to the very edge of reason. I don't know how you've managed to deal with it so long Jeni. Such psychological abuse pouring out of this man. I wish you the Very Best Jenni. YOU DESERVE IT....God Bless You..
Like he gave a 💩 about her career. He did her a HUGE favor! He alienated Zoila and Jenny; the ones closest to him and stuck by him with all of his narcissistic garbage. I know he REGRETS it, but too much of a narcissist to admit it (or how much). He fk'd up and I'm sure they both added 10 years to their life because of the separation!
Gabe, Jenni, Zola, Sis in law, Vinina, Tyler ... and the list goes on . Jeff is a text book narcissist. Seek help, Jeff. Ppl educate yourself so you know the signs then...RUN. FAST 💨
I agree with Jeff 100%!!!! She needs to move on. He needs an assistant that is committed to his company. She went to the bosses at BRAVO and he found out right before the lunch. She blew it.
Di C , me too. Agreed 100% someone like Jeff when he loves, he loves. But when he hates you and your behaviour that’s it. And I’m the same way. She shouldn’t go to the bravo staffs and complained about him. He’s your boss, you have a problem discuss that with him. I think she was trying to get him in trouble. Jenni is nice , but I think she can’t be trusted. She look like she will get you in trouble and act like she loves you to death. I have a couple people like her around and I don’t trust them a bit.
He needs an assistant but he'll never find one that stays or cares about him because he is so nasty to them. ....and he just can't figure out what is wrong with these people.
I always liked Jeff but for him to let her go like he just did is mind blowing. Is there no one in his life that means anything to him? He’s made a career out of running people off. She will prob be better off without him in the long run.
I love Jenny...Jeff doesn't deserve her as a friend. His daughter will really need her godmother Jenny as she gets older because jeff is going to hurt her like he does everyone else.
Jenni brought this on herself. I dont blame Jeff. She said he held her back from doing the career she wanted, and she was embarrased to work for him. Why would he keep her on as an employee? I wish they couldve stayed friends, but the working relationship was just done.
He will never again in his life have a friend like that woman. Truly a wonderful person.
God bless you Jenni.
She can say the same thing about him too
Jeff is textbook narcissistic personality--everyone has a shelf life
Everyone.
I Can no longer watch you Jeff for doing Jenny like that Horrible person
No one can, that's why his show has not been renewed.
Aka end of his show
Jenny killed it when she went to bravo with the complaint.

You explained it to a T! I don't know why anybody on the show has tolerated his abuse just to be on TV. Like you said, he's very sick. Gage seems like a good guy, wonder how long he'll put up with it?
Excellent assessment! I agree 1000%
Amen, well said.!
WELL SAID ! I AGREE
@veronica carlson The show was originally centered around Jenni and she's an executive producer. Jenni would have had a job/got paid regardless but the focus of the show was Jenni and Jeff's relationship so Jeff was not going to fire her.
Jeff disgusts me. Jenny is such a Great Girl. She was such a good friend to him. She put up with so much. He didn't deserve her
Did you miss the episode where Jenny said Jeff was holding her back from her career.. well he gave her what she wanted...
He called her out on her lies. She said she had an offer, an offer to audition. She is something else. Jeff gave her a platform and she got what she wanted. Time off to audition

She's been in abusive relationship with him for years and she's upset because he ended it...with friends like jeff you dont need enemies
With such low self esteem who needs enemies.
Jeff has been more a friend to Jenni than you or her realized. People like wants someone to give you gold stars and the end of the day. Wake up out of la la land
If she found it abusive, why was she GUTTED that he let her go? (Rhetorical) Stop being silly.

mental illness and lifestyle choices
I would have just ordered an uber and leave.
Very awkward. A strange way to fire someone too. Say a bunch of positive things then say your fired.

JL deserves everything he is getting.
She hated working there, she could have quit long ago.
@@pearlbubbles6885 Agreed. However, maybe she couldn’t afford to. What’s odd is that JL keeps trying to be friends with her again.
Jeff gave her a career and outlet when her life was falling apart with her first husband

Shame on you Jeff ! U used her just like u used Zoila
Nhu Quynh how did he use Zoila?!
RHOAZ using her as a storyline . If it were not for Jenny and Zoila, the show wouldn’t be where it is today .
Jeff is a bad person. That's it. He is vile but he only acts that way because he was treated like trash as a child. He is a god awful human being. Shame on you and the collagen.
Worse because Zoila would tell him off. Jenny is clearly shaken by such a blow. She reminds me of someone who has been through a war and now needs to be treated for PTSD.
He’s a monster.
Cold hearted individual !!
Janene Ilar He has no heart
Jeff's brother, Todd, aka Mitchell Agnew at Honest Tax, were obviously raised by sociopaths. Disgusting people. Total scammers.
John M. Who’s Michael Agnew?
He's such a bully, she softened him and I can't watch without her.
Ditto Catherine 🤗♥️
I won't watch without her either. She does softens him
I WON’T WATCH WITHOUT HER!!!!!!
Is over for me too. Jenny is the key factor in the show. My opinion.
@@rhodiecannon1713 me too, I only watched for Jenni. Jeff is a nasty man, obviously doesn't know the meaning of the word loyal!!
she is a class act. the smirk on his face
Jeff said in an radio interview he is regretting it, too little to late, she was always there for him also on a personal level, like a good friend would do, poor Jenny, I still cry when I see this scene
I feel bad for them. I think it cut him deep that she said he was holding her back, so he let her go. I think what she said was out of anger. Instead of apologizing and trying to work it out, they both had their pride. So sad.
Jeff is horrible......She shouldn't haven't stayed for so long. She deserved better.
She was the best person he had in his life and he treated her like dirt. What a cruel thing to do to a "friend"
Jeff you just let go the best employee you'll ever have
Seasons change , relationships change, people change...and all good things come to an end.
After all her years of service and loyalty to his company, I think she deserved a full discussion before arriving to that decision an hour before.
When Jenni came back from maternity leave she found out in the car that her position was taken by that guy. The look on her face then spoke volumes. She had been demoted....in the car of course. I feel sorry for Gage and for every single employee he’s had or still has. He says there’s a right way (his way) of doing everything.

instead of continuing to eat ,Jenny should of just got up ... say your pathetic and throw the drink in his face.. and leave .. 😝😝
Amen !!
Jenni has class, she wouldn't stoop down to Jeff's level.
Don't say anything; just leave.
I think she was shocked by his words and couldn't let them sink in at first.
Now that would have been worthy
Jeff is so wrapped up in himself that he can see nothing else. It is sad to think that Jenni is gone, but - hey - maybe this is the best thing that has happened to her in 16 years. I know you will do well Jenni - you are a wonderful person and anyone would be thrilled to hire you work for them. All the best .... for the rest of your life. I can see great things in your future.
Jenny was ready to grow. It’s annoying to hear Jeff do so many interviews that are negative about her and she’s never said anything negative back.
I can't believe they kept eating 😂
Why not get a free lunch
Everyone around him leaves or he gets rid of.....cold hearted & very telling
agreed...I think he's a very miserable person
Is this a real program.?
"I'm eternally grateful to you" as he fires her makes her cry.
If someone fired me like that, I would put my fork down and walk away. This wasn’t a discussion. This was an announcement.
He’s toxic, she doesn’t need him in her life
I like how paused and said this salad is really good...then he fired her. He’s ruthless.
He seems cold, but he actually cares. She dedicated her whole life to his dream and business, and there is probably something better and more fulfilling out there for her.
Yeah that's why I think he did it. So she wouldn't use him as an excuse
Jeff cares about NO ONE but himself.
Jeff stated on a radio show that an hour before he met Jenni at this lunch, he found out she had went to Bravo complaining about him and her job. He initially hadn't planned to fire her but felt he had to to protect himself and his company. He did what was best for both of them in my opinion.
That's what he says.
So by law that’s Retaliation
News Flash: Jenni and Jeff have had a turbulent relationship for some time now and she was let go years ago. She technically wasn’t employed by him anymore, but by Bravo, hence why she was still appearing on the show. In a morbid and ironic way, this is Jenni’s best acting gig, pretending to be amicable with Jeff Lewis. Still heartbreaking...
👍
Lol 😂
Nancy I I’d like to see Jenni get another “acting” get as good as the one she had on this show!
Jeff is a true monster
Jenni's career is not about to take off because the truth is that her failure to land any acting jobs had nothing to do with Jeff. She has no more excuses and I think it's going to be a tough pill to swallow.
Mandlakazi Ngumbela I think Jenni actually loves this whole charade of being Jeff’s “employee” and then blaming him for her acting career not taking off. Then she doesn’t have to admit that she’s just a failure as an actress and it’s no one’s fault but her own.
In management you have to start out with the positive, then the bad in the middle and then end positive.. poor Jenny wasn’t thinking it was the end, I’m sure she probably wanted to slowly bow out but that food looked liked it was good so she was speechless
1:59: WOW. She was his daughter’s godmother... 😳🤦🏾♂️
They’re gonna circle back to each other. Life is funny.
If he's lucky they will. She can do better though.
I hope not.
Hasn't happened yet, thank God.
If they do, she should wave to him from inside the restaurant while he is on the other side of the street.
This makes me so sad I was really loving this show !!!! I liked that it was a unique show and Jeff and Gage are a stunning couple with a gorgeous little girl !!! But what made the show was the dynamic and special bond Jeff and Jenni had they were more than coworkers it was actually a really beautiful friendship!!! And now I'm not excited for the show I'm just sad and was it worth it worth throwing away something so beautiful? Really ? Because at the end of the day when family fights noone wins ! And they were basically family. 😥♥️
Jenni kept saying she wanted to be a actress...
Pearl Bubbles SHE WANTED OUT
Probably have to act to stay that guy's friend. BRUTAL.
Yeal, but life circumstances cause us to do other things. I want to be a pilot. Mmmm but I'm soooo afraid. She did get some acting in.
That was and is unkind, unlove, unforgiven, and wickedly cold of Jeff.
He has a good heart. Yet that heart is being pulled like a puppet and on a string by so called entertainment, friends, lovers, etc.
Jeff never once thought that the shoe could be on the other foot.
Just you all remember, God is in control, and certainly don't love ugly ways and intentions.
Jenny, like a director stated to me once, upon letting me go, he said: 'you will be okay' & to this day I am ok and semi happy.
Go love on your hubby, your children, while regroup and reevaluate your goals, friends, friendships and those you allow in your circle of trust and heart. Not everyone is who you think they are, but what you believe they are
Dumbly said. She deserved to be let go she wanst there 100% was not helping his business grow. Should he keep on dead weight just for the show
He probably did her a huge favour! The grass has got to be greener for Jenny somewhere else!!
Rambling Rose 🙂
Wow not nice......she was with him through it all. Not right😳
She needs her own show. He’s just cruel!
Poor Gage!
My question is, how can he even continue to eat after that?! As for her, I would of said thank you, good luck and graciously leave.
See how sick that move was ?? Vicious , while she was eating .After all she's done for him 😰😢😰 . Jennie hat's off to you girl , you have weathered all his Bull and hung in there anyway !! So proud of you . I as a woman are super proud of your strength dedication , tolerance, loyalty and you alway's baked it with a smile . Pat yourself on the back Jen , i will truly , truly miss you girlfriend .😢❤💐 😢 Now go continue getting that love from your beautiful family .
Jenny ruined the meeting & complained often about how the job held her “career” back. I think Jeff did the best thing he could for both of them. She didn’t need the money. She’s a doctors wife. Go get famous jenny
She wasn't into it and wants to act so GO ACT. I would have fired her . She blames him for not having time to get an acting career going so now she has time .
I think Jeff did the right thing. Now she has all the time in the world to audition.
Brenda Goulette agreed!! Blaming someone for where you should have been in life, disgusting.
They definitely made this extra dramatic.
Jeff is HEARTLESS. He uses everyone until they have nothing else to give him and then he throws them away like trash.
Very sad.
Shocking...And, it appears traumatic for Jenni.
Jeff helped in canceling his own show.
Watching this, none of it sits well- not in 2018.
The way this was handled during their lunch, came across highly impersonal and careless /. I expected more from Jeff especially due to their longstanding career together.
Fun Jeff an Gage Serious work my nerves would be tingly with deadlines. But you need that scratch post moments !!! !😁
Everyone who is bashing Jeff needs to find the correct facts. I stand behind Jeff 100%.
Every shitty boss ever...you express the slightest interest in anything else outside your job and they fire you.
It was probably the biggest relief in her life to have this conversation... He's a very difficult person to work with...2 much Drama for anyone to put up with...i had a breakdown just watching what he put people and poor Jenny through
Me too.
I love Jenni she is so talented and God truly blessed her with her lovely family
I totally understand his decision, she wasnt there for the right reasons anymore. She wasnt even on his payroll for years. And right before that lunch he found out that she went behind his back to the bosses of bravo and said some horrible things about him. She wants to focus 100% on her 'acting' so now she will have all the time in the world. Lets see if she will succeed now lol.
wwwaimiecapricecom The difference is that Jeff actually makes money in his design business and he’s an excellent designer. I’m pretty sure another network would be willing to give him a show. What kind of income does Jenni have without the show? (Not including her husband’s income). Jenni gets paid very well from this show which is why she stayed so long. She even expected Jeff to keep her an a fake employee even after complaining about him cause she needs to Bravo check.
😲smh THAT......that just completely takes my breath from me! As much as I believed I was 'team jeff', I have NOT been able to watch em since this craziness went down💔!!!
He lost a fan in me! I cannot watch him anymore! Never knew I felt this way towards him! I'm floored! Just totally absolutely floored!
I used to think it was his act, but if he can fire Jenni that easily....the man has no heart AND a false sense of self to think SHE wasn’t a critical part of his success. Bye JL.
Jeff did nothing wrong because she was harboring a lot of anger towards him and instead of making a change, she starting blaming Jeff for her failed career.
Poor Jenny trying to eating the food soo fast and drinking her drink like drinking water try to pass that bad feeling how is it feel to be fired hope so after all this she didn’t get stomach aide 😥
I was never so happy to see rubber lips finally done with TV . I just worry that the little girl should really be watched very closely. This man has not attain the level of maturity to be looking after a child .
Give Jenny her own SHOW! 😍
He did it because he felt he was holding her back of her dreams🥰
Poor Jenni. Poor Jeff. I feel sorry for both of them. For Jenni for being sabotaged. I don't know how Jenni was able to eat after receiving that bombshell from Jeff. For Jeff, because he has built a wall around himself. The problem with building a wall is it keeps the bad feelings out but you are also trapped within a wall. Reconcile your differences.
👍👍
She kept eating because she knew she didn’t really work for him, but WITH him and probably thought it would be an issue on next season for Bravo’s storyline as that’s who she really worked for. I mean you make a business improvement seminar about you, you mention the business in question as an embarrassment to you, you attempt to get your co-workers to side with you against your boss at lunch, you make up a lie about an acting part (one that made no sense when you know she doesn’t work for Jeff, so it wouldn’t be him to give her time off, and she only works on the show 12 weeks an yr), you FORGET the planner (the closest she’s come to being fired in past was that thing specifically), and she clearly kept in touch with office staff ripping Jeff as she knew about the changes. She’s “surprised”, no she thought her part in the show was changing
Poor Jenni, she's such a nice person. She did not deserve this. I hope she finds happiness in another career.
I really do believe Jeff's Pain comes from he misses his mom I lost my father when I was nine I understand that pain it's something you learn to live with but it never goes away when it's your parent❤ I'm praying for you
Good ridiance, why is Jenni complaining, she's married to a doctor.
Jenni acts so shocked here when Jeff cans her as if she didn't expect him to actually do something like that. She was with him long enough to witness how he treated other employees and I guess she thought that she was special. Nope!
She reminds me of Elaine from Seinfeld
I'M STILL FEELING THE HORROR WHEN I 1ST WATCHED THIS This Was AGAIN!!! Hard To Watch..... He's Got Such A Creepy Soul He's A Very Horrible Person ALL OVER He's TALENTED In His CRAFT But he's HORRIBLE
One thing for is Jenny doesn’t need Jeff.
He refuses to admit his BEHAVIOR and he’ll regret it. Jeff you’re wrong not to accommodate her growth
I love them both,but i could never work with Jeff. He's so controlling,micromanaging,talk down to people,narcissistic,I've seen him bully,.etc.
IT WAS TIME.
Put yourself in this situation; a person tells you their dreams where not reached because of you and helping you succeed, you are shocked, hurt and saddened. You tell the person Go now follow what really makes you happy what you’ve always longed for. Forget that it’s Jeff and Jenni. It played out the way it should have maybe should have happened years ago, as Hollywood is mainly not too kind to actors after a certain age. My thought on the situation.
My Gosh.. the hurt and devastation that flashed across her face. All of his monumental BS that she put up with. No one deserves to be abused and mistreated Jenni... NO ONE.. Jeff has severe psychological problems and he takes delight on pushing people to the very edge of reason. I don't know how you've managed to deal with it so long Jeni. Such psychological abuse pouring out of this man. I wish you the Very Best Jenni. YOU DESERVE IT....God Bless You..
I think this was one of the hardest episodes of any show I’ve ever watched
To fire a beloved employee , a girl who has held you down for so so long, was beyond inappropriate. He will never be in her presence again.
He acted like he didn't really care.
Like he gave a 💩 about her career. He did her a HUGE favor! He alienated Zoila and Jenny; the ones closest to him and stuck by him with all of his narcissistic garbage. I know he REGRETS it, but too much of a narcissist to admit it (or how much). He fk'd up and I'm sure they both added 10 years to their life because of the separation!
Gabe, Jenni, Zola, Sis in law, Vinina, Tyler ... and the list goes on . Jeff is a text book narcissist. Seek help, Jeff.
Ppl educate yourself so you know the signs then...RUN. FAST 💨
I agree with Jeff 100%!!!! She needs to move on. He needs an assistant that is committed to his company. She went to the bosses at BRAVO and he found out right before the lunch. She blew it.
Di C , me too. Agreed 100% someone like Jeff when he loves, he loves. But when he hates you and your behaviour that’s it. And I’m the same way. She shouldn’t go to the bravo staffs and complained about him. He’s your boss, you have a problem discuss that with him. I think she was trying to get him in trouble. Jenni is nice , but I think she can’t be trusted. She look like she will get you in trouble and act like she loves you to death. I have a couple people like her around and I don’t trust them a bit.
Vcdpj Jenni is a snake! She got served what she deserved. But she was literally in shock the Jeff fired her. Thad was sweet justice.
Morgan Campbell yep!!! A snake she is. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Tough love!!
He needs an assistant but he'll never find one that stays or cares about him because he is so nasty to them. ....and he just can't figure out what is wrong with these people.
That's right your so up Jeff's butt you can't see the trees.Or that they canceled his show for a reason..He's a nasty Drama Bitchy Queen. Enuff said.
I always liked Jeff but for him to let her go like he just did is mind blowing. Is there no one in his life that means anything to him? He’s made a career out of running people off. She will prob be better off without him in the long run.
I love Jenny...Jeff doesn't deserve her as a friend. His daughter will really need her godmother Jenny as she gets older because jeff is going to hurt her like he does everyone else.
LOL why is anyone surprised ? He has ZERO loyalty to anyone but himself. Dude fired her while they were eating lunch and he didn`t miss a beat.
Jenni brought this on herself. I dont blame Jeff. She said he held her back from doing the career she wanted, and she was embarrased to work for him. Why would he keep her on as an employee? I wish they couldve stayed friends, but the working relationship was just done.
Oh Hello I would have fired her too but on the spot as the words tumbled out of her mouth - not spend money putting food in!
Gosh he's a broken man. He's got some early childhood traumas. He and Kenya Moore should become an item. Miserably together.
