Owning Manhattan's Jonathan Nørmølle claims he PURPOSEFULLY got himself fired by Ryan Serhant - as he reveals what really happened in that brutal finale scene

Owning Manhattan star Jonathan Nørmølle has claimed he orchestrated getting fired by Ryan Serhant in a desperate bid to get out of his contract at the company – after learning that the show had cast a bunch of fake agents.

The broker, 27, was sensationally fired on the roof deck of Manhattan skyscraper The Edge at Hudson Yards in the final episode of the new series. 

In the Netflix show, Jonathan was let go after he was caught bad-mouthing a colleague on the company's podcast and tarnishing the reputation of the business at the showing of a $10 million property. 

But, speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com ahead of the launch of the new reality show, Jonathan alleged that he masterminded his brutal exit, claiming that had done so because he wanted to get out of Serhant to create his own business and no longer needed the brand.

'I had a plan because I was under contract with Ryan and all the sponsorships,' he said.

He claimed to DailyMail.com that plotted his demise because he wanted to get out of Serhant to create his own business 

'The only way I could get out of those contracts was if I got Ryan mad enough for him to fire me.

'And the only way I could do that is by saying all these things like; Ryan had done nothing when he was my age, whereas I have been on Forbes under 30.

'I made my first $100 million my first year in real estate. I was on the cover of Downtown Magazine, I was Rookie of the Year and I won most influential broker at Broker of the Year Awards.'

Jonathan alleged: 'I went in on Ryan with all these things and he got upset enough to fire me on TV - and instantly these contracts were completely void.'

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.

'Ryan reached out to me twice,' he said. 'I said no, twice. Every time he called there was a little more incentive.'

Explaining why he eventually played ball after Ryan's third phone call, Jonathan added: 'I thought it was a great opportunity for me to get my foot in the door and open up me to the world.'

Since being fired, Jonathan alleges that Ryan has tried three times to get him back at Serhant

Months into working at Serhant, however, Jonathan claimed he had a change of heart.

'I realized that it was not really what I was looking for,' he said, adding that he made a deal with his team that he would only stay with the company for one year before moving on, but expediated this process during filming.

Since his dramatic exit, however, Jonathan alleged that Ryan has tried hard to get him back on board.

'Ryan has tried to hire me back three times at this point, so it really played out perfectly for me,' he said. 

Jonathan created a real estate business of his own in the aftermath of his time at Serhant - and has a host of agents working for him. 

Speaking about his new endeavour, Jonathan said: 'So my new company, Next Gen, we're not just doing real estate. We're starting two developments, one of which will be on Billionaires' Row, and the other downtown in FiDi.'

'What we are trying to do is seeing how we can upgrade old office buildings. I want to swipe out the entire office floor, or 20,000 square feet, to make Soho lofts in FiDi. 

'Soho wasn't always cool. The artists went down there and made it cool. The same thing can happen down here.'

Ryan previously told DailyMail.com that there are 'no bad apples' working at his eponymous company Serhant as he implements a 'one strike policy'.

'I have a one strike policy for toxicity and negativity,' he said. 'There are no bad apples.

'What you see me go through on the show, is while that term is easy to say, it's hard to put in practice. 

'Selling real estate in New York City is a super competitive environment. There are 80,000 agents here for 6,000 homes that get sold.

'Most of the people who are in this business are working for free with no benefits and with a lot of pressure on them. They will make no money this year...

'Sometimes you'll see some bad behavior, and my gut instinct is it's a one strike policy, you can't work here anymore.

'But then sometimes I also have a heart. I say, 'I understand what you're going through, I know, this year has been really, really tough, but we've got to correct your behavior.''

He continued: 'As a CEO, I've had to really focus on like the two B's when managing people, which is the business and the behavior.

'I'm working on building something really, really big. This is unlike the other shows that follow people who are just focused on themselves.'
