Jeff Lewis says two official complaints have been filed against him for comments he made on his SiriusXM radio show, Jeff Lewis Live!
The Flipping Out star kicked off Tuesday’s episode of his show by detailing a phone call he received from one of the programming directors at SiriusXM radio.
“Apparently there is a second official HR complaint against me and this show,” Lewis said, adding that the first complaint had been received ten days ago. “Yesterday’s complaint was apparently a little more serious. It was a phone call, which is not good. I would prefer the email. When they call you, it’s more pressing.”
He says the complaint was related to him calling out another XM employee by name on one of his past segments.
“They said ‘In the future, you are no longer allowed to call out SiriusXM employees individually on your radio show. You can call out the departments, but you can’t call out the individuals,’” he said.
He continued: “So this is our second HR complaint in ten days, which is not good.”
A representative for SiriusXM did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment regarding the alleged complaints.
After he claims he received the phone call, Lewis said he stayed up late trying to figure out “who could have potentially ratted us out.”
He estimated that he has called out 13 SiriusXM employees during his show, including four “higher level executives” who “could get us fired.” However, he claimed that the comments made against those executives were “fairly complimentary.”
