Jeff Lewis spoke out amid speculation that Andy Cohen put him in the “second chair” on Watch What Happens Live due to a secret feud. He also clapped back at Andy’s description of Still Flipping Out, and he reacted to how much Andy pays his babysitter.
On a recent episode of WWHL, amid the premiere of Jeff’s new Bravo show, Still Flipping Out, Jeff was placed in the second chair, which seemed unusual given that Jeff is the lead of the new show. Though Jeff and Andy have had their ups and downs in the past, they claimed on WWHL that they were in a good place.
On SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live, Jeff addressed the chair situation amid some fans’ speculation that it’s a sign of Andy and Jeff’s drama.
“I’m not into the whole first chair, second chair politics,” said Jeff, via @sarah_from_texas_podcast_ on Instagram.
“Clearly,” said guest Jenn Fessler, “because you’re not in it.”
“I always ask for the second chair because it’s my better side,” Jeff explained. “Truly, this side is better. So if I’m talking to Andy, I want to turn to the right. I don’t want to turn to the left.”
Jenn, however, initially called “bulls**t.”
Around the same time, in an interview for Andy Cohen Live, Jeff reacted after Andy called Still Flipping Out a “nice watch.”
“I don’t even know what that means,” said Jeff.
“It means it’s pleasurable to watch,” said Andy. “You feel good watching it. It’s enjoyable. It just washes right over you. It’s like you want it on your TV. You’re happy about it.”
But Jeff wasn’t convinced that Andy was being kind.
“Great,” said Jeff sarcastically. “When I do press all week, [I’ll say] ‘it’s a nice watch.'”
Later, Jeff called out Andy for only paying his babysitter $70 for two hours and 15 minutes of work. Jeff claimed that he pays his own babysitter, a 23-year-old, $37 per hour, and Jeff said this was “cheap.”
New episodes of Still Flipping Out air Monday nights at 9/8c on Bravo.
