OMG, this story is so good it’s like it came out of my dreams. The players: a bitchy queen (Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out), a somewhat famous actress on an equally ridiculous show (Ashley Jensen of Ugly Betty aka the wisecracking Scottish girl) and a fight about rich people concerns, i.e., not real problems.
The details: Lewis is renovating a house next door to Jensen’s in Los Angeles so he could you know, flip it out. He built a deck on the house, which encroached on Jensen’s property. According to E! Online, Lewis offered Jensen $10,000 to let the deck stay. Ashley and her husband got a second opinion and consulted with a “real estate expert” , who told them that the property Lewis had tread upon was actually worth $100,000.
Ashley and her husband, Terence Beasley (pictured above ) tell Jeff, who obviously doesn’t want to pay them 100 grand. He counters with an offer of 30 grand and told them if they didn’t take it, he would make their lives very difficult and talk smack about them on the upcoming season of Flipping Out.
Both parties have hit each other with restraining orders (Lewis’s business partner Ryan Brown, pictured below was also included in the restraining order) and Ashley has asked Jeff to remove the deck.
Jeff denies threatening Ashley and her husband and says that they used his known persona on Flipping Out to take advantage of this situation and get attention for themselves. He says: ” We have a simple encroachment dispute that should have been resolved informally. Having apparently watched my reality show, they now feel they can exploit my personality to increase their media exposure and their alleged damages.”
