Fans weren’t happy with Lemonis’ blatant lie, as Jeff Gluck claimed.
Let me understand this… A reporter has been contacted Tweet embed To check some information. The reporter was lied to, allowing Lemonis enough time to stall and release the information himself. Cute – good. 😒 https://t.co/FzF6JuOA5E

I mean, that’s something Lemonis does, but I also can’t really blame him for wanting to be his company’s news source.

Then he can just say no comment instead of saying nothing has been decided, and then make a statement shortly thereafter. The reporter was giving him a chance to comment instead of just reporting it directly even though it was decided long ago.

Jeff, with the respect you earned, you weren’t on the call

What if you explain what was on the call afterwards instead of just saying “She wasn’t there so you don’t know?”
Makes it sound like he said – she said write a deal with you and Jordan.

You seem so petty saying this. Jordan does not have a false reputation or mislead anyone. If you have a problem with his tweet, decide what it is instead of challenging his word.

We both know that’s not how the conversation went. But I’m sure you were able to send me a direct message and call you back within an hour as you requested

Given the amount Lemonis has invested in the sport, he has the right to be his news source. But the drama on Twitter seems to have been better suited to making the news tick.
