Josh Altmanhas not spoke toFredrik Eklund, his costar onMillion Dollar Listing Los Angelessince the Bravo show finished filming its finale months ago.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 42-year-old real estate agent revealed he has “cut” Eklund, 44, out of his life.
“We don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but especially I’m just not a fan of ordering your own trophy. I was friends with him for a long time, and I noticed many things that I let slip, that I swept under the rug, but it got to the point where now that I’m a dad, you kind of just cut people out of your life that don’t bring positive support,” said Altman.

Altman also weighed in on what he referred to as the “real, real, horrible thing” Eklund did toMDLLAstarJosh Flagg.
“I’ll just respond to what you see on the show. I just thought it was a real, real, horrible thing to do what he did to Flagg, and we’ll just leave it at that. But no friend in the world would ever do that to somebody. It’s been confirmed multiple times since, and it is what it is, so we move on. Flagg and I, we’re busy. We got great friends and family, and that’s it. You move on. You cut certain people out of your life, and he has absolutely been cut,” Altman added.
Flagg was also asked for his input on the matter and did not comment.

Flagg and Altman have been longtime rivals on the show, but have mended their relationship and now star in a spinoff calledMillion Dollar Listing Los Angeles: Josh & Josh.
The four-episode Bravo limited series features the two stars doing deals as their friendship grows and taking on listings across the Western U.S., in Napa, Aspen and Newport Beach.
“I mean, that kind of hurts, but it’s fine,” Altman jokes. “I always had hope when I was trying to plot how to kill Josh Flagg, I hoped that one day we would have a show.”
