SiriusXM Radio: Jeff Lewis Accused Of 'Exploitation For Content'

Jeff Lewis

Talk Host Jeff Lewis' ex Gage Edward took to Instagram on Tuesday with a detailed statement condemning Lewis's public revelations about their five-year-old daughter Monroe on his SiriusXM radio show, Jeff Lewis Live, and the company's willingness to promote it, reports The Daily Mail.

'As many people know, my preference has always been to not engage,' Edward, 36, said. 'For almost three years, I’ve rarely commented on many mistruths said about me. For me to correct them, would be to put my ego above my daughter.

'What is unfair – and what I will speak about – is the continued exploitation of a minor for content. In the past and certainly recently, untrue and false stories have been told with an embellished narrative about my daughter.'

Edward said that 'the embellishments are likely because they are more interesting in the scheme of what’s currently going on, it’s more jarring, more likely to be written about,' which brings attention to Lewis's radio show.

'In my view, it’s very calculated,' he said. 'Equally as disappointing as the person that continues to talk about her, is SiriusXM, the executives, producers, and people in charge of Radio Andy.'

Edward said that 'the PR machine of SiriusXM radio' often promotes clips of Lewis discussing details of their co-parenting issues for further exposure.

'In my opinion, SiriusXM is equally involved in whatever it is you want to call this,' Edward said. 'It’s encouraging and rewarding exploitative behavior, which always leads to more of the same.'

Edwards' statement came a day after Lewis said on his show that Monroe said she 'was pretty mad' at him for speaking about her on his radio show, and that if he kept it up, 'she will not see me again until she’s a grown up.'

Lewis said on his radio show that he later sent a text to Edward asking him not to involve their daughter in their rift.

Lewis said on his show that the unrest stemmed from Edward telling their daughter that she was denied getting into a private school after Lewis spoke on the air of a December 21 holiday bash he threw that he said was a 'super-spreader event' after he and other attendees tested positive for COVID-19. 


Lewis said Monroe 'was denied access to that private school before the holiday super spreader, so they had other reasons for that,' as 'they already hated' him.

Edward was 'less than thrilled' that Monroe has been denied into multiple private schools, Lewis said, adding that his ex attributes it to his high-profile and notoriety.
