I continued to try to get the Jeff Lewis designs and continued to get Ryan. This was before the revelation was made on the show so I totally believed Ryan because it was happening. I got the impression that they were one and the same company and so if I didn't know better and of course had the money to re-design my home I would have thought that getting Ryan was the same as getting Jeff.

NO matter how you look at it , say it , or explain it.It's just plain Shady and Wrong of Ryan. How I see It he definately set out to do sooo. Maybe he is an over achiever but he shouldn't have to step alll over JEFF his name AND business to do sooo JEFF is completely right in his decision to confront Ryan .The website was an diversion from JEFF reputation of good business representation of excellent work and poof Brown Design .

I think Ryan had to have taken so much from Jeff over the years that he may feel justified, whether it was accidential or intentional. That may have been the reason he was able to sit there calmly, while Jeff was actually "flipping out". I find it amusing --> Ryan quietly giving him the finger! Jeff is so self centered that Ryan saw an opportunity, and it only became an issue when Jeff's world began to change due to the market. Jeff wasn't returning phone calls, and was very selective in who he chose to work with so those may have been the ones that originally fell through the crack. With that said, hopefully, Ryan is able to admit it and continue on with his friendship with Jeff, although I really think this is an eye opener and a lesson for Jeff to treat people better, but he had it coming!

He, or someone he was directing, knew exactly what they were doing when they set up Flippingout.com to redirect straight to Brown Designs without any kind of indication. And I believe Jeff when he says that Ryan firm was reluctant to provide contact information.

I have to be with Jeff on this one... I'm not a Jeff groupie, a lot of his behaviors, humor, etc are strange and rude, but I gotta give it to him that Ryan had something shady going on. After all, Jeff knows the man better than anyone else, he can probably tell better than anybody else if he's lying or if he's for real. The client he deliberately scooped from Jeff- even putting it back in his face -, that was low. To me. that's a big red flag on the level of its business ethics. If he had no problem doing that, I don't see why he would have a problem doing other stuff behind Jeff's back. I think that's the difference between Jeff and Ryan...both seem to be extremely smart, talented and greedy businessmen (after all you have to be a bit greedy if you want to stay in business) but it seems Ryan's greed has less boundaries than Jeff's. And it looks like this will cost him a friendship. Unfortunately for him, it will follow him all his life... Such a great show!

These two are ex-lovers and business partners. One is doing well--with an adorable daughter and in a stable relationship and his business is growing--and the other one has seen his house flipping business dry up and is trying to get into more client work. His personality is not well suited to this. He clearly alienates some clients with his abrasive personality. Instead of confronting Ryan in private, he airs all his suspicions on a TV show. Not a good way to keep friends but probably good for ratings. I think Jeff Lewis is an emotional train wreck--fun to watch but treats him employees very badly. He seems like the type of guy who is creative and brilliant but will eventually end up alienating everyone because he is paranoid, suspicious, and mean. Anyone who goes around thinking up "punishments" for his employees is basically unhinged in my book. It's hard for me to imagine that clients looking for Jeff Lewis would be confused by being directed to a website. The guy has his own reality show now. I also like Ryan's portfolio of designs better. If Ryan did anything bad, it was probably an error of omission and Jeff is just too egotistical and self-absorbed to look at the bigger picture. Having said all that, Santa Barbara is a really boring place to live. I can't imagine why anyone under 75 would want to move there. Ryan should cut Jeff out of his life but stay in L.A. and I hope Chloe gets a baby brother some day. I have watched the falling out between Jeff and Ryan with interest.
