Jeff Lewis Tested Positive For COVID-19 After Hosting 'Superspreader' Holiday Party

Jeff Lewis doesn't regret hosting a "superspreader" holiday party despite testing positive for COVID-19.

The former "Flipping Out" star shared on Monday's episode of his SiriusXM radio show "Jeff Lewis Live" that he contracted a breakthrough case of COVID-19 after he threw a party for 30 of his employees and friends on Dec. 21.

"Thursday is when everyone started testing positive," Lewis was quoted by People as saying. "A third of us got it. And we also have people with symptoms who haven't been tested yet."

He added, "I don't regret [it], by the way. That was an epic party. It was so worth almost dying for!"

In addition to Lewis, multiple guests tested positive for the virus, including his co-host Megan Weaver, assistant Shane Douglas, actress Monika Casey and Lewis' on-again, off-again boyfriend Scott Anderson.

"Shahs of Sunset" star Mercedeh Javid Feight also contracted COVID-19 after attending the event, which was held at "Real Housewives of Miami" alum Lea Black's Los Angeles home.

Lewis shared on Instagram Monday photos of him, Weaver and Douglas wrapped in hoodies and blankets as they recover from COVID-19 at their homes.

"It’s Omicron week at 'Jeff Lewis Live,'" he captioned the post, which also included Doug Budin.

Lewis said on his show that he took every precaution he could to ensure everyone would be safe at the party, including hiring a nurse to test every guest before they went in.

"People are saying we're reckless and stupid. No, we're not, f---ers," Lewis said. "We were all vaccinated and we had a nurse there testing all of us before we even went in the door. … I thought we were being responsible."

Lewis then went on to detail his "really bad" experience with COVID-19 over Christmas.

He said he initially tested negative before heading to his family's Christmas Eve dinner but made sure to wear a mask. However, he started feeling sick during the dinner and went home early.

Lewis said he was "in pretty bad shape" the following day, with his fever soaring to 104.5 degrees Fahrenheit at one point.

"Scottie took a bowl of ice water and was putting cloths on my body to try to bring the temperature down," he shared. "There was no sweat whatsoever, I was just radiating heat. I was a little delirious and I told him, 'I think you're going to wake up tomorrow and I'm going to be dead.'"

Weaver said she had a bad case as well, sharing that she experienced chills and body aches and was "in a ball, shaking," at one point.

The two said monoclonal antibody therapy, a treatment that provides a temporary boost of antibodies that fight COVID-19, helped.

According to Lewis, he felt better within 12 hours of receiving the treatment. While he said he is still experiencing diarrhea, coughing and chills, he doesn't have a fever anymore.

For now, Lewis said he's going to continue distancing from his 5-year-old daughter Monroe, who has been staying with her other dad, Gage Edward.

"I don't want her to get sick and I also don't want to take care of her because I don't have any nannies," Lewis joked, explaining that a few of his housecleaners and nannies who work for him had also contracted the virus. "I'm down to two and if anything happens to those two, I'm not going to be able to feed myself I don't know who is going to be able to take care of me!"
