Re: Why did Judy Crowell leave QVC?

speaking of Jeff Hewson, what ever became of him? There were rumors he had some type of severe medical situation, but there was never any type of credible information about where he ended up or what he was doing..  just curious if anyone knows...

@wagirl  - What made this Jeff Hewson a "monster" in real life?  Why did they end up getting a divorce so quickly?  

 

I didn't watch the Q back during this era.


@San Antonio Gal I didn't know he was. He was very handsome and charming and always made a good presentation. Back then there wasn't really social media so a lot of the gossip came from Kathy Levine's book. Not really sure what to make of any of it. May or may not be true. Don't know what happened to the man.

I believe he had a stroke, but I don't recall how his recovery went, nor where he is today.

I had read somewhere that Jeff cheated on Judy on their honeymoon.

She voluntarily left QVC prior to marrying Paul D. I think he had already left QVC by then. They spent a couple years traveling and doing research for his gem book and starting their own gem business.

QVC is one of the leading home shopping networks with a loyal clientele base. Over the years, it has boasted an impressive host line-up that has captured the minds and hearts of viewers. For instance, Jeffrey Hewson on QVC was iconic, building him a reputation as the most renowned host on the network television. 

 

Jeffrey Hewson was known for his infectious personality, humour, and impeccable sales skills. He sold merchandise ranging from jewellery and tuxes to singing karaoke on the show. Unfortunately, this charismatic and impressive salesman disappeared without notice. Read more: REMOVAL OF LINKJeffrey Hewson

Re: Why did Judy Crowell leave QVC?

PART 2    I WAS UNABLE TO PASTE THIS IN ONE POST     The silence from QVC added to the mystery surrounding his departure. In a 2017 interview with the New York Times, former QVC colleague Lisa Robertson shed some light on the situation. Lisa revealed that Jeffrey had suffered a stroke, which left him partially paralysed and unable to continue working at QVC. Jeffrey's suffered a stroke right around the time anchor Lisa Roberston joined QVC, and she saw him struggle to recover. She recalled how he had to re-learn how to speak and walk. So where is Jeffrey Hewsen? After some time, he chose to retire and left the state of Pennsylvania, where QVC is headquartered. Read more: 

 

Last I heard he ws in a nursing home.

@San Antonio Gal 

 

Lots of rumors swirling around immediately after their marriage.  Infidelity and other situations.

 

Paul Deasy did a lot of gem / jewelry shows, he also was on the QVC host Christmas CD.  He has a really nice voice and he composed the song he performed on that CD, was really special.

 

Not sure exactly when they married but he seemed like he was completely different from Jeff Hewson and a much better match for Judy.

@San Antonio Gal  It's water under the bridge.  It happened decades ago,  Obviously, they made a mistake.  And I don't understand why people keep bringing it up.

Re: Why did Judyy Crowell leave QVC?

@ 50Mickey, She divorced Paul  Deasy. Have no idea what happened to him. Have many purchases made with Judy when she was with the Q Wish they would bring some of  hosts from sev years ago Miss J. Ripka too. Both excellent. No nonsense Both would describe items beautifully.
