The Flipping Out star took to his radio show this past week to explain what exactly went down.
Lewis shares Monroe, who's almost three, with his ex-partner, Gage Edward.
Lewis, 49, said that he had received a call from the school's headmistress on Friday, who mentioned there being an "issue" or "incident" regarding Monroe.
However, Lewis soon revealed that it was him who messed up, not his daughter.
"There was part of me that thought I did something, but I really thought maybe Monroe did something, and I was kind of hoping that Monroe did do something like she bit someone or threw sand at someone's face."
Only that wasn't the case.
It was the next day that the headmistress issued out the sad news.
"Apparently I've mentioned a few things about the school on air," Lewis said.
This also included reading emails from parents on air.
"The conversation lasted 20 minutes," he recalled. "For the first 12-13 minutes I groveled and then when I realized there was no hope, it got a bit contentious."
Nothing could be done.
The headmistress even said that Lewis "bullied" two moms from the school by reading their emails on air.
"I said, 'Are you kidding me? Bullied? I read two emails! I didn't say somebody was fat, all I did was read two emails!'"
Although, she mentioned that she was "expecting their call any day."
"I said, 'You know what is [expletive]? The fact that you said at 'Back to School Night' how much you care about our kids," he recalled. "What a crock. You care so much about my kid you're going to kick her out without any sort of ability to have a second chance?'"
"I take full responsibility. I am really, really sorry. I feel terrible about what happened. I know how it has affected Monroe. I will never do this again," he said.
"If I'm going to [expletive] talk, I'm going to do it off the air, obviously," he added.
He said it felt too "regimented" and "structured."
"I don't want Monroe to be in a strict school with overachievers and massive homework. She has her whole life to be stressed out. It's preschool, let her be a kid and have fun."
