Jeff Lewis Shades Dorit Kemsley While Admitting He’s Bravo’s “Most Difficult” Talent

Jeff Lewis is owning his reputation, and it sounds like his new production team isn’t exactly thrilled about it.

On a recent episode of Jeff Lewis Live, the Bravo star revealed that Alex Baskin’s production company, 32 Flavors, has labeled him the “most difficult talent” they’re currently working with. And according to Jeff, he’s not just a little difficult — he’s allegedly surpassed everyone else by a wide margin.

“32 Flavors said that I am by far the most difficult talent that they’re working with,” Jeff shared on air. “And it used to be Dorit, by the way, allegedly.”

“But they said I’m miles ahead of her,” he added, making it clear that he’s now taken the top spot.

The comment came up while Jeff was discussing his upcoming Bravo return, Still Flipping Out (working title), which was officially announced at BravoCon 2025. The new series will mark Jeff’s first Bravo show since Flipping Out ended and will follow his life across radio, design, and personal relationships.

According to Bravo’s announcement, the series will lean heavily into Jeff’s trademark personality:

“In his new Bravo series, Jeff Lewis is as outspoken as ever, but this time the mic is always on. Lewis navigates the hilariously unpredictable nature of his professional and personal lives as his trademark spontaneity collides with the people who work with him, for him and still somehow survive him. Jeff Lewis can still flip out when he wants to, and he calls that personal growth.”

During the radio show, guest Tamra Judge even jumped in to confirm whether Alex Baskin had actually said it.

“Did Alex tell you that?” Tamra asked.

Jeff didn’t deny it — but he also explained why he believes he’s earned that reputation.

“Alex and Jenn Levy,” Jeff said, before defending himself. “But here’s the thing: it’s because I push back, I negotiate, I protect my people.”

In other words, Jeff sees his “difficult” label less as a personality flaw and more as a byproduct of standing his ground behind the scenes.

With Still Flipping Out heading into production, it’s already clear that Jeff’s return to Bravo won’t be a quiet one — and if 32 Flavors is already calling him their toughest talent, fans can probably expect plenty of fireworks when cameras start rolling.

Finally, nice changes from the same old lather, rinse, repeat boring, fake HW. Can’t wait, love Jeff Lewis, excited for premiere of Ladies of London as well.

I'm really looking forward to Still Flipping Out (which might give me a reason to keep Bravo). As far as Dorit goes, I think she and Bubba were too attached at the hip, because I'm just not feeling this newly single bitter and defiant Dorit. Now that I think about it, that pretty much goes for Kyle as well. In fact, it's time to clean house ... keep Kunty, JTill, Rachel, and Amanda, and get rid of the rest.

Amanda and her grift can promptly exit stage left as far as I’m concerned with the vapid lizard faced ghoul that is Rachel Zoe next line and on the grifter’s heels. I can’t stand either one of them, but I otherwise agree. Kunty makes a good villain, JTill is just lovable, but I’d even prefer the two all time world champions of all hot messes, Kim R and Brandi over Grifter and Lizard. JMO, ymmv.

Although it's premature, I liken this Amanda chick to a wealthy and much younger Brandi; however equally trashy. hopelessly inappropriate, and obviously "damaged". Rachel is very droll, and I always dig that. Where RHOBH is concerned, anything is an improvement at this point.

Somehow Dorit manages to get more repulsive with each new episode. I think she asked for MO’s number in an attempt to hook up, that would certainly teach Kyle to share jokes & memes with PK.

The thought has entered my mind as well, and although she and Mo' both being (Israeli) Jewish most likely bonded them from the start, I'm thinking Dorit is probably about 15 yrs. too old for a man who is obviously experiencing a mid-life crises.

She'll settle for a one nighter. No " friend" asks their " friends" husband if he's thought about filing for divorce in front of his wife, her " friend" and then asks for his #. Kyle should have at least reminded Dorit she was sitting there or offered to give her his address. I thought the response to Amanda announcing her son's anniversary was krass but this is... I dont know what to call it. Dorit is a bitch!
