Sonja Morgan was accused of being ‘belligerent, rude and disrespectful’ by Jeff Lewis.
Lewis, 54, said he was ‘very annoyed’ by the Real Housewives of New York City alum’s behavior during their joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
On a Wednesday episode of his SiriusXM radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, he claimed Morgan, 60, was ‘obnoxious,’ ‘belligerent’ and very drunk during the taping.
‘I was very annoyed by Sonja and, I believe … that they did a lot of work to edit her obnoxious, drunk behavior, but what you see was 20 times worse’ he said about Cohen’s anniversary special, which aired on June 30.
He also opened up about how Morgan allegedly instigated an awkward exchange between him and Teresa Giudice backstage, which continued on air.
‘She never stopped talking. She was belligerent,’ the former Bravo star added before bringing up a rumor about how Welcome to Crappie Lake was not renewed because of her alleged drinking and poor behavior.

Lewis, 54, said he was ‘very annoyed’ by the Real Housewives of New York City alum’s behavior during their joint appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen
He said that Morgan started getting rambunctious during a commercial break while taping WWHL with Porscha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Luann de Lesseps and Jerry O’Connell.
Backstage, he said Morgan told him that she only hates ‘one other person’ more than him.
‘Like, here I am celebrating 15 years with my good friend Andy Cohen,’ he said. ‘I’m having the best time.
‘And I got this woman coming for me — by the way, accusing me of something that I don’t recall doing — and I don’t think it was something that I did do,’ he continued.
He also claimed that Morgan demanded him to ‘get on [his] knees’ and apologize to Giudice.
After the commercial break, Lewis and the Real Housewives of New Jersey star did confirm they had a tiff backstage.
During the episode, Cohen asked Lewis if he made peace with Giudice and ‘squashed their beef’ backstage.
The Bravo exec and TV host’s question caused an awkward exchange on air as the reality TV personality was initially unconvinced by Lewis’ apology.

They had joined Cohen for his anniversary special of WWHL alongside Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Luann de Lesseps, Giudice and Jerry O’Connell. Lewis said Morgan’s behavior was ’20 times worse’ than what was shown on TV
‘We’re good, right?’ Lewis asked Giudice.
‘Well, he was saying sorry to me because he said something,’ she said. ‘But it’s like, if you didn’t mean it, I don’t know why you said it.’
On air, Lewis said he was genuinely sorry: ‘I apologize. I was wrong, and I apologized. I’m not dissing her.’
The origins of their feud remain unclear but Lewis recently said he would rather RHONJ fire Giudice over her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga when posing a hypothetical question.
‘I think I’d probably let Teresa go,’ he said while appearing on the Two Ts in a Pod podcast episode in May. ‘Oh, is that not good? I don’t know. Is that a problem? It’s just my opinion.’

On his radio show, the Flipping Out alum also brought up a rumor he had heard about how Morgan’s spinoff show, in which she stars alongside de Lesseps, was reportedly not renewed because of her drinking; seen in July 2023
Also on his latest radio show episode, the Flipping Out alum also mentioned a rumor he had heard about how Morgan’s spinoff show, in which she stars alongside de Lesseps, was reportedly not renewed because of her drinking.
‘What I found out recently — it is a rumor — one of the reasons Welcome to Crappie Lake was not renewed was not because it wasn’t successful,’ he said. ‘It was because of Sonja and her behavior.’
Lewis continued: ‘So, it has affected her professionally. I think people really like her and are rooting for her, but there is a point in time when it isn’t funny anymore.
‘She needs to clean up her act,’ he added. ‘I was annoyed.’
