Jeff Lewis says his actions are to blame for his 2-year-old daughter, Monroe, being expelled from her Montessori school. I was kind of hoping that maybe Monroe did so something like she bit someone or threw sand in someones face, he quipped. Lewis noted that he relayed the incident to his former partner, Gage Edward, whom he said lost his s**t. Edward called the school and then called Lewis back, yelling at him for threatening the headmistress. Gage was really, really upset and he did yell at me and he did say some things that he probably regrets now, Lewis quipped.
