Media controversy

Lee is a self-proclaimed "JewJetter," a phrase he invented to describe luxury traveling for sport.[4] Lee flies over 250,000 miles a year and showcases his global first class travels on his social media.[1] In 2009, he was featured in Star Magazine with Ashley Olsen flying with him in first class,[3] later to be featured in a similar but more positive story with Brad Pitt.[1] Lee has also been linked to public feuds in national tabloids with Star Jones and has fought with Paul Rudd on Sirius XM Radio after an alleged altercation at a movie premiere.[1] In 2011 he conducted an interview with NPR, who refused to air it unedited. Lee pulled the interview, having it printed elsewhere.[1]

In 2011 Lee declared bankruptcy with net assets of 100 dollars and a debt of approximately 160,000 dollars [5][6] In 2012, Lee debuted on E! television's The Soup, being roasted for his appearance on VH1 dating show, Why Am I Still Single?!. Later that year, Lee debuted on French TV network Canal+ during a 90-minute prime time special called, En Tatanes Á Manhattan![4] ("To Manhattan by Foot!"). On April 10, 2014, he appeared in an episode of The Millionaire Matchmaker.

In 2015, Lee launched a crowdfunding campaign on Inkshares for his tell-all book Don't You Know Who I Think I Am: Confessions of a First-Class Asshole.[7]
