James Harris is coming for Madison Hildebrand.
The two realtors come face to face on the next episode of Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles, and Et has your exclusive first look. James seemingly called the meeting to confront Madison about “stealing” a listing they previously worked on together, but eventually lost after they were unable to sell the home. Madison swooped in after the split to get the listing back, just for himself -- and James is convinced he lied to make that happen.
“I just want you to admit, for once, that you might be a pathological liar,” James says. “I just want you to admit it for once, and I’ll have a smile on my face!”
“You lied to get the listing,” he adds after a back and forth over who gets to talk when.
“I did not lie!” Madison counters. “Did you ever talk to [the client] Jerry since the listing expired?”

Kim Kardashian West has taken a page out of the Hgtv handbook!
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and her husband Kanye West recently decided to part ways with their Bel-Air mansion, which they bought in 2013 and extensively remodeled. Although Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles’ Josh Altman was entrusted to find a buyer for the estate, Kardashian still had a pretty big part to play in the success of the $17.8 million sale.
“When the new buyer came to see our home, I wanted to be the one to give her a personal tour,” she wrote in a new post on her app.
