"Didn't see the final cuts": Owning Manhattan's Ryan Serhant addresses the controversial Jess–Eric incident from the show

Owning Manhattan's Ryan Serhant opened up via Instagram on December 8, 2025, and talked about the controversial incident from the show.

Fans must remember the intense situation involving Jess, Eric, Nile, and the newly joined Genesis Suero. Referring to the situation involving Jess and Eric, Ryan noted that he was also processing the situation. It was because he wasn't aware of what exactly was shown in the final edited cut of the Netflix show.

Owning Manhattan star stated that he was also "processing" it along with everyone else. While the Netflix show's latest season premiered on Netflix on December 5, a few days later, Ryan opened up about the incident:

"I know I am an executive producer, and I saw a lot of it when we finished filming in May, but I didn't see the final cuts like the rest of you guys."

Ryan added:

"So the actual context of these scenes and how they went down has taken me a minute to process. There's definitely some things in both Miami and with Nile and that whole scene that I would have handled differently. I just wanted you to hear it from me that I am processing it at the same time."

Owning Manhattan Season 2: Ryan Serhant talks about the controversial incident featured on the show's latest season

Owning Manhattan's latest season featured many multi-million dollar deals, properties, and high-end luxurious locations. Along with that, the real estate show also featured an incident involving cast members Eric, Jess Taylor, and newly joined agent Genesis Suero.

It happened when Jess and Eric accused Genesis of stealing one of their clients. On the other hand, Genesis denied such an incident. While that happened, Nile joined the conversation along with Eric and Jess.

"You never come up to a woman in a business scenario, stand over her, and say, 'We need to talk.' You don't talk to her like that," said Nile.

The situation got even more tense as Nile and Eric got into an altercation. Owning Manhattan's Ryan wasn't aware of that as he hadn't watched the final edited cut of the show. However, when he learned about it, he addressed the situation.

In his December 6, 2025, interview with US Weekly, Ryan talked about his deal with Netflix and shared:

"I made a deal with myself and my family and my company, and Netflix. I said, If we're going to make this show, we're going to put it all on the table. We really make sure that people know when they're watching it, Holy s*it, this is real. This is authentic. This is uncomfortable at times. This is hilarious at other times, and this is really inspirational right now."

Owning Manhattan star added that the CEO side of that had been a struggle. He talked about making professional and personal sacrifices for individuals who love their jobs.

Ryan revealed that he had fallouts with the three main cast members from the show's latest season. It was brutal. He added that it had to be on camera because it was real.
