Selling Sunset’s Emma Hernan is angry becauseNicole Young spread a rumorthat she had an affair with a married man, and that isn’t the only time that a cast member has stirred the pot. In fact, over eight drama-packed seasons, the feuds have been explosive. The Netflix series shows the glitzy, upscale side of Los Angeles -it’s all about candy-colored skirt suits, spray tans, big hair and luxe Hollywood Hills enclaves. However, there’s a seamy underbelly, as some Oppenheim Group realtors will do almost anything to usurp their rivals. When the manicured claws come out, it’s not so pretty.
Selling Sunsetseason 8exposed the shadow sides of certain O Group realtors, but trouble-making on the show’s been raging like a wildfire since season 1. Reality TV is about ramping up the drama - when emotions are heightened, viewers can live vicariously through the cast members… this creates a sense of escapism.The show’s villains take fans on wild rides, showing them just how down and dirty the world of Hollywood’s pristine “super prime” properties can be.Sometimes, these backstabbing gambits really draw blood.
8Jason Oppenheim Turned On Alanna Gold
He Mocked Her Pioneertown Mistake
Jason co-founded The Oppenheim Groupwith his twin brother, Brett Oppenheim. Of the two brothers, Jason is probably the most controversial one, since he loves dating his coworkers. This group of very attractive women features a few of his exes, including the lovely Mary Bonnet. However, Alanna, who embarrassed herself by acting like the queen of Pioneertown, isn’t one of them. She’s married to another man.
When Alanna’s Pioneertown scandal exploded, Jason mocked her by wearing an “I Own Pioneertown” tank top.
He delivered this gentle and jokey jab vis his Instagram Stories. The fact that he was willing to make fun of a coworker was interesting. Was he trying to separate himself from the drama? Maybe so. Jason’s in the business of selling high-end real estate. That game is all about sophistication.He needs a slick and glossy image, and so do his realtors.Whenhe mocked Alanna’s Pioneertown drama, it’s almost like he was saying, “I’m above all this.”
Alanna might have laughed, but then again, she might’ve been offended. She’s probably pretty touchy about a faux pas that she should really laugh off. She’s getting quite famous thanks to this Western town drama, and her notoriety is kind of fun.The good people of Pioneertown accepted Alanna’s apology, so maybe it’s time for her to just relax and enjoy the whole roller-coaster ride.Before, she wasn’t very well-known. Pioneertown put her on the map.
7Bre Tiesi Was Mom-Shamed By Chelsea Lazkani
Chelsea’s Ego Was Out Of Control
When women try to bring other women down, it’s uncool.It just perpetuates lame and sexist stereotypes that need to die.Instead of giving Bre friendship and emotional support as she worked a demanding job and took care of her son, Legendary Love Cannon, Chelsea attacked her for breeding with a guy who has plenty of baby mamas. Maybe Chelsea never had to it all alone. She didn’t have to come home tired from work with no partner waiting to help, and try and be mom and dad.
The O Group could be a powerful group of goddesses who build each other up and create amazing things. These women could be like that island of strong females inWonder Woman. Instead, troublemakers like Chelsea don’t see the forest for the trees.
They lose sight of the big picture. It’s about succeeding together. There’s room for everyone - Jason hired the people he needed. So, why not work together? There’s no reason not to.
When Chelsea chastised another woman for bringing a baby into a"broken home,“she told the world a story about herself… about her smugness in her marriage, her ego, her cruelty. It was ugly, but now, Chelsea can change. As she navigates life after a divorce, she’ll have her times when she’s alone with the kids too. This will deepen her understanding of how some other women live. It’s not easy.
Nick loves his baby… he surely loves all his children. He probably loves Bre too. He’s just not cut out for monogamy. Bre knows this and accepts it. OnSelling Sunset, this kind of judgy stuff is so off-putting. Chelsea can change, but people will always remember how she trashed a woman who wasworking night and day to take care of all her responsibilities.
6The Affair Rumor Made Emma Hernan Seem Like A Scarlet Woman
Emma Denies The Damaging Allegations
Emmais a successful woman, and it seems like Nicole Young doesn’t want her to shine. Why else would the devious gossip spread a rumor thatEmma got busy with someone else’s husband? Emma was irate when she was forced, possibly quite unfairly, to wear the “Scarlet Letter” in front of the whole world. Above, Emma focuses on the people who
“life you up,”
which is just what she should do.
The truth can be complicated, but Emma is adamant that nothing happened.Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause, her loyal bestie, says she can prove the rumors were fake. Emma claims that Nicole knew she was spreading lies from the start, as the source who shared the rumors told her that. If that’s true, it’s clear that Nicole’s trying to use gossip to ruin another woman’s life. It’s more classySelling Sunsetdrama, right? Not so much.
5Christine Quinn Called Heather Rae El Moussa A “Snoozefest”
Christine Has No Filter
Christine is a classic reality TV villain who went too far because she just didn’t care. Onscreen, she taunted so many people, including Chrishell, who grew up poor, achieving amazing things despite so many hardships. Christine implied that Chrishell was lying about being blindsided by her now-ex, Justin Hartley.
Justin left Chrishell, breaking her heart. Then, Christine poured salt right into her wounds.
Like a blond Cruella de Vil, Christine didn’t stop there. No, she didn’t attempt to make a coat out of cute little puppies, but she did diss another castmate, the fairly mild-mannerednew mom Heather Rae El Moussa(née Heather Rae Young). Heather, who, at one point, wasn’t sure she would be asked back for another season, didn’t provide enough entertainment value for Christine, who likes bolder, wittier people.
She called Heather a:
snoozefest,
as per theE Newsclips shown above. She went on to question the intelligence of herSelling Sunsetcoworker, saying that Heather wasn’t exactly electric onscreen because of a"lack of wheels turning"in her head. This stuff was brutal - yes, admittedly, it was funny, but no one could say it wasn’t mean.
4Davina Couldn’t Sell A $75 Million Property
Jason Wasn’t Super Understanding
Davina took on a big challenge when she decided to try and sell a $75 million property. OnSelling Sunset, well-heeled clients are the norm, but there are limits. Some rich people can’t actually drop this kind of cash on properties - it’s not just the price of the homes, but the astronomical upkeep. As an investment, the 10-bedroom home on North Beverly Hills Drive just wasn’t for everyone.
The price of this property made it a bit of an albatross around the brunette realtor’s neck, but she wanted the listing. Jason thought it was pointless to try and sell it. He may have been right, as she eventually had to beg the owner for a contract extension.
Jason didn’t have her back, she was offended, and Davina, who once memorably dissed the fake diamond (Moissanite, to be precise) engagement ring Romain Bonnet offered to Mary, was having trouble pleasing her fussy client. This was a recipe forSelling Sunsetdrama, which erupted at Jason’s housewarming event. She later claimed the whole “selling the mega-expensive property” thing was just a storyline. Of course, she never sold it.
3Jason Kept Giving Mary Listings
Even When The Other Agents Got Mad
Mary used to date Jason, and they will always be close. TheSelling Sunsetseason 8 cast membersmourned the dog they shared onscreen. Both were at the pooch’s memorial service, clearly pining for the sweet pet, who gave them unconditional love. They were crying and drama broke out at the service, adding a touch of inappropriateness that is soSelling Sunset!The canine’s name was Niko - may he rest in peace.
The bond that Mary and Jason share is special. Jason has trouble settling down, but he loves Mary in his own way - it’s a platonic love. Mary is happy with Romain and Jason does his dating. Both exes are fine with their current dynamic. However, Mary’s more than an ex. She’s a good realtor. He trusts her and gives her listings. Sometimes, he may give her too many.
The other realtors deserve fair shots at success too. However, Jason has so much power - he can wield it any way he wants to. If the other realtors don’t like it, it just creates more drama on a show that he makes money from. So, it’s really win-win for him. That’s why Jason can be so infuriating sometimes.
Jason is spoiled. He’s got the really, really hot Ferrari - a freaking dream car!Jason’s covered in Louis Vuitton. He dates woman and discards them. That’s just Jason - realtors, including Mary, can take it or leave it. He’ll never change.
2Bre Revealed The Cheating Rumors About Chelsea’s Husband
Was Bre A Troublemaker… Or Was It Chelsea?
Bre heard from a source thatChelsea’s husband, Jeff Lazkani, was a big-time cheater. He was reportedly spotted at a hotel with a woman, acting romantic. Obviously, if he was pulling those kinds of stunts out in public, when he and his wife were both in the public eye, he had already checked out emotionally. It could be argued that he wanted to get caught, and he did get caught.
Chelsea was mortified - she shares two kids with this man. Also, the fact that Bre, whom she’d mom-shamed, as previously mentioned, delivered the bad news made it all so much worse… or so it seemed. After the whole cheating scandal made headlines, Chelsea revealed that she’d set up the “reveal” scene herself.
If that’s true, she was able to make Bre look bad, like a total bottom feeder, and expose Jeff as a dirtbag husband. She was literally killing two birds with one stone. What Chelsea didn’t call attention to was the fact that Bre genuinely seemed to care about her pain. Bre went through something similar. Her marriage with Johnny Manziel was short and turbulent. Also, Jeff said Chelsea’s a violent person who attacked him. Those allegations haven’t been proven.
1Chrishell Called Nicole Young A “Snake”
Chrishell’s Siding With Emma Amid Affair Rumor Scandal
Chrishell is a loyal friend, and when Nicole shared a rumor that Emma was allegedly involved with a married man, Chrishell got really mad. While Chrishell’s pretty nice as a rule, she can be triggered, and that’s just what Nicole did. Chrishell took to Instagram, calling Nicole a"snake”- here is Chrishell’s full rant, as per anE Newsinterview:
“I think she’s proven the snake that she is. I tried this season to drop everything and really meant it and it wasn’t until I watched the show that I saw how conniving she could be. Because you guys haven’t seen the receipts yet, but I have.”
Chrishell doesn’t want to film the show with Nicole. They’ve clashed before, and last time, Chrishell was the aggressor. She accused Nicole of using drugs at a party.Nicole got a drug testto prove she was clean. Then, Nicole starting spreading a rumor that damaged Chrishell’s friend’s reputation. Of course, Chrishell attacked. Sometimes,Selling Sunsetbrings out the worst in its stars. Chrishell and Nicole will probably never make peace.
