A CONTROVERSIAL Bravo star has revealed Andy Cohen’s strict warning regarding his behavior after the network axed a legendary Housewife over her offensive remarks.

After Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin‘s eyebrow-raising comments that got her fired from the franchise’s new spin-off, Andy has already warned Jeff Lewis about his own conduct upon his return to the network.

Last month, Jill, 62, got the boot from E!’s The Golden Life after facing backlash over her racist critique of Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl halftime performance.

Now Jeff, 55, who was already on thin ice with Bravo after his “disastrous” appearance at BravoCon, has Andy questioning whether he’ll be on his best behavior.

“In light of what has happened to Jill Zarin, and both you and I can make some controversial statements, and we’re both back on TV again, are you ever afraid you’re gonna say something that’s gonna lead to a whomp-whomp? Are you more careful than you were before?” Reza Farahan asked Jeff on the March 4 episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live.

“I think so, yeah, absolutely,” the TV star replied, before recalling a conversation he recently had with Bravo executive Andy.

“He was the one that was telling me, he was kind of like a careful warning, when I’m on this show talking about Bravo. On this show,” Jeff said, clarifying the exchange was in reference to his radio show, and not his new series, Still Flipping Out.

“He’s not worried that I’m gonna go on a racist rant or anything like that. He just wants me to be careful about what I say about Bravo, like contracts, fines, money, you know, production,” the TV personality continued.

Jeff said later in the episode that Andy wanted him to be particularly mindful about what he says about the network and his team, admitting that he tends to be more critical regarding production.

“So that message was received,” Jeff assured.

It was revealed at BravoCon in November that Jeff’s new series, Still Flipping Out, had been greenlit by the network.

The show is a reboot of his former series, Flipping Out, which was canceled in 2018 after 11 seasons.

However, days after the announcement, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the show was in danger of getting scrapped following Jeff’s ill-received joke about the freezing of SNAP benefits during an Ask Andy panel.

“Jeff’s show hasn’t had the plug pulled yet, but I think it’s safe to say it’s at least in danger of going in that direction,” an insider revealed at the time.

“It’s been a disaster [behind-the-scenes] since the mess he made at BravoCon.

“It’s clear viewers are not going to take kindly to Jeff, and he continues to dig his own grave, so Andy and the network are seriously considering how to move forward with it.”

The source shared that the reboot was intended to cross-promote Andy’s SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy, on which Jeff’s podcast airs.

“But it backfired and now the network has lost confidence that he can carry an audience,” the insider claimed.

Jeff’s remarks at the Las Vegas convention – where he appeared to mock SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and shade Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum, Monica Garcia – were quietly removed from the broadcast, but those at the event were appalled and booed the reality star.

After BravoCon, Jeff revealed that he had apologized to Andy, but he “still needed time to cool off.”

Still Flipping Out follows Jeff’s personal and professional life as a designer, radio podcast host, and reality TV star.

A premiere date has yet to be announced.
