Ryan Serhant is seeing certain situations \u2014 including a controversial onscreen fight \u2014 different after watching season 2 of Owning Manhattan.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I just want to clear up that I saw the show for the first time this weekend too,\u201d Ryan, 41, shared in an Instagram video on Monday, December 8. \u201cI know I am an executive producer and I saw a lot of it when we finished filming in May, but I didn\u2019t see the final cuts like the rest of you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CEO of SERHANT only learned more information<\/a> once the second season premiered on Friday, December 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the actual context of these scenes and how they went down has taken me a minute to process,\u201d he noted. \u201cThere\u2019s definitely some things in both Miami and with Nile\u00a0and that whole scene that I would have handled differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNetflix\u2019s real estate series Owning Manhattan is returning after some shakeups \u2014 but which agents are and aren\u2019t appearing in season 2? Owning Manhattan, which premiered in June 2024, focuses on Ryan Serhant, who is a real estate mogul and CEO of real estate company SERHANT. Ryan previously appeared on Bravo\u2019s Million Dollar Listing: New [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n

Ryan concluded: \u201cI just wanted you to hear it from me that I am processing it at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Owning Manhattan follows Ryan and the agents<\/a> at his real estate firm as they tackle New York City\u2019s most expensive listings in their pursuit of becoming the number one firm in the city. The first season starred Chloe Tucker Cane, Nile, Tricia Lee, Jade Shenker, Jessica Markowski, Jessica Taylor, Jordan Hurt, Jonathan N\u00f8rm\u00f8lle, Jordan March, Savannah Gowarty and Jeffrey St. Arromand.<\/p>\n

Season 2 featured a tense scene where Jess Taylor and colleague Eric approached newbie Genesis Suero in the office to accuse her of attempting to steal a client. Genesis denied any wrongdoing but the situation took an uncomfortable turn as Eric and Jess stood over her, which caused Nile to step in.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou never come up to a woman in a business scenario, stand above her, and say \u2018We need to talk,\u2019\u201d Nile fired back. \u201cYou don\u2019t talk to her like that!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nile and Eric nearly started a physical fight, which Ryan later addressed. He was more upset with Nile after hearing the basic outline of the fight but has since reconsidered which side he reprimanded after getting more context \u2014 and saw the backlash online.<\/p>\n

Viewers of the show took to social media to defend Genesis while calling Jess out for potential \u201cmicro-aggressive\u201d behavior. Jess, for her part, has yet to address the reaction after getting emotional on screen over the confrontation.<\/p>\n

Ryan, meanwhile, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about how working on a show like Owning Manhattan<\/a> meant going all in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made a deal with myself and my family and my company and Netflix. I said, \u2018If we\u2019re going to make this show, we\u2019re going to put it all on the table. We really make sure that people know when they\u2019re watching it, \u2018Holy s***, this is real. This is authentic. This is uncomfortable at times. This is hilarious at other times, and this is really inspirational right now,\u2019\u201d he told Us. \u201cThe CEO side, though, is a big part of the struggle. There\u2019s going to be professional and personal sacrifice for anybody who has ever loved what they do. Sometimes when you love it too much, it could potentially be a bad thing. I have fallouts with three of the main cast members this season and it\u2019s brutal \u2014 and it has to be on camera because it\u2019s real.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cIt\u2019s always really hard and I\u2019m actually super nervous for people to watch it. I just do the best I can and hopefully the world sees that I\u2019m trying my hardest.\u201d<\/p>\n
