During the final season, Lewis’s personal and professional relationship with his co-star and friend of nearly 20 years, Jenni Pulos,ended after a falling out. In the finale, Lewis and Pulos got into an explosive fight with Lewis laterterminating Pulos' employment. He later alleged that Pulos hadn’t worked for him for “years” and claimed that she hadfiled claims of wrongful termination, abuse and victimization against him.
Pulos vehemently denied those claims to PEOPLE in November whenspeaking out about the fight for the first time. “Citing wrongful termination claim, wrong. Citing abuse claim, wrong. Citing victimization claim, wrong,” Pulos said. “[Our relationship] was very real. I was his employee and I worked for him. It was very authentic, and that’s important.”
The mother of two added that she was blindsided when he let her go fromJeff LewisDesign. “I had no idea it was coming,” Pulos said.
The series ended a few months before Lewis’s split from his partner of 10 years, Gage Edward, who was his business manager and featured prominently in the show. Lewis and Edward share daughter Monroe Christine, now 4.
