Jonathan Normolle is a star on Netflix’s Owning Manhattan, where real estate agents try to sell multi-million dollar properties. His boss, Ryan Serhant, ends up firing him – but he planned it all.
As if it didn’t hurt enough that Jonathan was fired on top of New York’s The Edge skyscraper. The Netflix star introduced himself on the show as “the next generation of real estate,” which made him unpopular.
Jonathan fired from Owning Manhattan job
Before season 1 of Owning Manhattan came to an end, agency boss Ryan Serhant felt he was conducting unprofessional behavior and fired Jonathan, but the star didn’t agree with him and defended himself.
He talked negatively about his co-star and colleague Savannah Gowarty on the company’s podcast, showed up late to an important showing, and was rude to the listing agent.
However, according to the agent, he acted out purposefully with the goal of Serhant firing him from the company. Jonathan now claims Ryan begged him to return to the real estate agency.
He claims he ‘planned’ the firing
Jonathan revealed to the Daily Mail he wanted to start his own business, and claimed that the only way to get out of his contract with Serhant was to be terminated.
“I went in to Ryan with all these things, and he got upset enough to fire me on TV, and instantly these contracts were completely void,” he said, before claiming Serhant hired fake agents.
He added, “I had a plan because I was under contract with Ryan and all the sponsorships.”
Netflix spent one whole year casting the agents for Owning Manhattan – agents Jonathan claimed are not genuine.
Jonathan, however, insisted that he never auditioned for the show and instead was begged to come aboard by Ryan.
GRV Media and Reality Tidbit has reached out to Serhant and Netflix for comment.
Netflix star continues his career in real estate
He is now a salesperson for Highline Residential, described as a “young and vibrant brokerage built on excellence and a cross-disciplinary approach,” where he leads his own team.
Jonathan’s group is called the Next Gen Team, which includes seven agents that work under his mentorship. The team has several active listings across neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Nørmølle, who uses praise by Serhant on his company bio, also works as a model. He is signed to Elite Models Miami and has posed for several international publications.
