Jeff Lewis spoke on the recent announcement of Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s separation during an appearance on Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge’s podcast last week.

While this was going on, Teresa and Melissa, who declined to film together during the current season’s production, were asked who he would cut from the RHONJ ensemble, and Jeff said he would go with Teresa.
He said, “I think I’d probably let Teresa go,” which prompted Teddi and Tamra, both 56, to wish him success on social media.
Yes, she did just bait me. I’m not even sure. Is that an issue? It’s simply my view,” Jeff argued.
