The infamous party planner insists he “said it like a friendly comment,” however, he feels the entire exchange “got out of hand.”
“I didn’t realize until she really reacted really badly,” he explained. “I feel so bad. It wasn’t bad intentioned at all. It was something like, ‘Oh my god, you look a little different than I expected. I haven’t seen you in a while.’ She got really upset.”
Lee says that he’s seen Maloney since the incident and made it clear he wasn’t intentionally trying to make her upset, but it’s unclear if she’s forgiven him.
“She’s very sensitive these days,” Lee told the publication.
If you recall during Monday night's episode of the Bravo hit reality series, “What happened?” Lee asked as Maloney passed appetizers during Vanderpump’s Beverly Hills magazine party.
“You were much thinner than this. You gained a little bit of weight. You have to work on it. Seriously, I’m telling you as a friend. It’s out of control now. I can tell.”
The remark wasn’t taken lightly as Maloney got emotional and cried to Vanderpump after the exchange.
LVP comforted Maloney and told her that she was “the most beautiful girl at the restaurant.”
