Amanda Frances is under fire due to a series of clips posted on Instagram.
Following the sharing of a scene from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the resurfacing of a moment from her past appearance on Selling Sunset, Amanda, 41, is being called out for her “rude” and dismissive behavior, as well as her poor treatment of realtor Davina Potratz, 45, which has led some to request she be one-and-done on Bravo.
“Do you want anything? They were nice enough to bring me some water,” Kyle Richards, 57, tells Amanda in the RHOBH scene.
“I would love some cold water. Yes,” Amanda replies.
But after a female staff member presents her with water, she quickly turns her head with no “thank you” given.
“I always pay attention to how people treat servers and staff members and this rubbed me the wrong way or maybe I’m looking too much into it? But no eye contact or a please or thank you?!” Bravo Bri noted in a caption as she shared the post with her followers.
“Ew girl!.. this says so much about her,” one person replied in a comment.
“Rude AF,” wrote another.
“[Amanda] never says ‘thank you,’” pointed out a third.
Others said that the RHOBH newbie was “not polite” as they targeted her antics.
“Horrible behavior, especially if she acted like that while being filmed,” someone stated.
Meanwhile, in a second clip, which saw Amanda meeting with Davina and Mary Fitzgerald-Bonnet, 45, in regard to the sale of her home, she became upset after learning that Davina was planning to take photos of her home since she wanted “to go live on the MLS on August 1.”
“I didn’t say I had to go live on any certain day. I told you I wanted to sell it by October,” Amanda clarified with an annoyed look on her face. “I get taking pictures, but it felt like … I hadn’t really felt taken care of as a client at that time, and I felt pressured … I really did not.”
When Mary then asked Amanda why she didn’t feel taken care of by Davina, she explained that Davina didn’t “make a strategy for marketing and talk to [her] about what [they were] going to do and give [her] some constructive feedback on the house.”
“But you’re telling me you want, ‘Leave me the f*ck alone for a month,’” Davina argued.
But Amanda kept on, telling Davina, “It just felt like other than price and telling me it’s pretty and I did a good job, it didn’t feel like there was much of anything I could work with.”
After the second clip was shared, Amanda was labeled by many as “insufferable” as they called for her to be fired from RHOBH.
“[Andy Cohen] please don’t bring her back next season,” someone begged.
“Hopefully this is her first and last season on housewives,” another agreed.
It was also alleged that Amanda was “killing her own brand by allowing the viewers to get to know her personality.”
Even Davina weighed in about the resurfaced clip, shading Amanda as a clown as she told a commenter she was “so ridiculous.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsseason 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
Amanza Smith offered an update on her ex-husband, former NFL player Ralph Brown, during an appearance on Harry Jowsey‘s podcast at the end of last year.
Nearly seven years after Ralph, the 49-year-old Selling Sunset realtor whom Amanza was married to from 2010 to 2012, disappeared after dropping their kids off at school, Amanza revealed that she recently heard from the police about her former spouse.
On the November 4 episode of Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey, via The Tab, Amanza shared that she’d gotten confirmation that Ralph was still alive from the authorities, who told her they now have a physical address for her ex, which means he’s no longer considered “a missing person.”
As Selling Sunset fans may recall, Ralph disappeared while she was filming an early season of the Netflix reality show.
“So we got a divorce when the kids were one and two, and then for seven years they would go to their dad for a week and me for a week like clockwork,” she recalled. “He was good. He was a good dad, and then he dropped them off at school on a Monday, August 26th, 2019, and never came back and he filed a paper to the courts a few months later, relinquishing all rights and responsibilities and we didn’t see that paper for like two and a half years because of COVID, and it was like the lockdown.”
“The family courts were closed, so we were like, you know, I was convinced that we could find him and maybe he needed help … It was really sad,” she continued. “My kids were seven and nine at the time. My son just turned 14 yesterday, and my daughter’s 15.”
According to Amanza, regardless of the latest update, she has gotten no closure on Ralph’s disappearance.
“Nothing. Literally nothing. I mean, he filed a paper to the court writing all these, you know, reasons why he could no longer care for the children,” she explained.
In her six seasons onSelling Sunset, Emma Hernan has never seen the cast more divided than after the Season 9 reunion. “We can’t keep going down this route where it’s this dark,” she tells StyleCaster. “This is a show that’s supposed to uplift women. That’s one of that’s the biggest reasons why I joined. I don’t want to continue to go down this road, whether I’m on the show or not. We need to bring back some positive energy.”
Hernan joined Selling Sunset in Season 4 and formed a close friendship with original cast member Chrishell Stause. The two remained best friends until Season 9, when they fell out over Hernan’s relationship with her boyfriend, Blake Davis, whom Stause has accused of being MAGA, using the N-word, and disrespecting her partner G Flip’s pronouns—claims that Hernan has denied.“With Chrishell and me, it’s so unfortunate what’s transpired,” says Hernan, who hasn’t spoken to Stause since filming the Season 9 reunion.
The day after the Selling Sunset Season 9 reunion aired, Hernan sat down with StyleCaster to discuss the status of her friendship with Stause, her relationship with Davis, and the future of Selling Sunset as a whole. “I don’t want beef with anyone. I don’t want beef unless it’s vegan,” she says. “I can get along with everyone. That is my goal. I know that’s not good for reality TV, but I give them other things. I give them relationships. I don’t want the drama. I don’t like arguing. I love women. I love getting along. I love making people happy. Let me do that. I’ll give you my relationships. You can’t have both.”
Was there anything you didn’t say at the reunion that you wish you did?
It’s overwhelming when you’re sitting there on stage and you haven’t talked to your friend in quite some time, and it’s the first conversation you’re going to have with them. I didn’t necessarily think it was going to be as heated and as bad as it was. I thought maybe there could have been resolution, and there wasn’t. There are probably things I would have said, like, “XYZ. Did that happen?” and “No, I don’t need to agree with every view he has said or done. I am not him. I am a separate person. I have my own views. I am a loving, caring person.” Nothing’s ever changed, and Chrishell knows that. She knows who I am. I wish there was another beat for that.
Mary criticized Chrishell at the reunion for revealing that you called her from a bathroom crying. What was your reaction to that?
That’s an awful thing to do. She was already taking our private situation and outed it publicly on Instagram. That was the first issue. Then to film the reunion and out a private moment between two friends? What has the world come to when you can’t have a moment with your friend? When you’re best friends with somebody, you share things, you confide in them, you call them, whether it’s good, bad, whatever it may be. Those are moments—no matter what happens, you don’t ever share. It’s a common courtesy as a human being. Forget if we’re friends anymore or not, as a human being, you just don’t do that. We were best friends. There’s obviously stuff about her life I would never in a million years share. There’s nothing inside me that would ever, ever, ever, under any circumstances, share something personal she had told me, confided in me, and bring it public. She doesn’t like Blake. She wants people not to like Blake, so of course, she’s gonna say something like that. “I was worried. I was concerned.” That’s a private moment. No one knows what was going on. No one knows the conversation you and I had. This wasn’t fair.
The day before the reunion, Chrishell posted several receipts of offensive things Blake had said on her Instagram Story. How did you react when you saw those?
It’s awful because she doesn’t realize what it’s doing, or she does realize what it’s doing, which is even worse. She wants people to come and attack me, and she knows the type of person I am. You do not like Blake. You know my views do not align with him on every single thing he’s done. You’re also pulling up posts from seven years ago. These are old posts you found on a Reddit page. These are not new, active posts, and you are trying to demonize him so people will come and attack me. I have been nothing but a loving, caring friend to her, and that’s really sad that she would do that to me. It’s really disheartening to have to wake up and not know what’s going to be posted about. You don’t know if something you shared with somebody in confidence is going to be posted. All these allegations, all these screenshots. To be honest with you, everyone on the cast is pretty horrified by her behavior. Every single person. I just want to stop being attacked. I’m trying to move forward with my life, and what she’s doing affects me, my family, my business.
One of the videos Chrishell reposted of Blake showed him grabbing your head. What was your response to that?
It’s pathetic she screen-recorded that. I don’t think that was up for more than 24 hours. I don’t know if she’s sitting watching his stuff and screenshotting everything, which is mind-blowing to begin with. I don’t think that’s right for her to go and post something like that. If you’re gonna make fun of him for doing it—which it was taken down—don’t go and post it to your 4 million viewers, just to make me feel even worse. He obviously did it thinking it was a joke, whether it was right or wrong for him to post that. My former best friend is gonna post it on her social media with millions and millions of people? Not OK. But everything continuing to be done by her is not OK.
What is your response to Chrishell saying that you were “flaming the hate toward G?”
I love G. G is one of my favorite people in the entire world. There’s absolutely nothing to do with that. I was simply clarifying what happened that day at Chrishell’s house. I was there. I heard everything. That’s not what was said. That was how you interpreted certain things, but that’s not what was said. I still was, at that point, being super nice to her. I was like, “I wish her the best. I want no drama.” I was just clarifying what had happened that day, and obviously, it set her off, and she’s continued to post. I love G more than anything in the entire world. I’m an ally. I love everyone. She can relax.
I saw fans speculate that the scene where Chrishell and Chelsea met Blake was actually filmed during Season 8. Is that true?
Yes. Technically, I was seeing Blake while Nicole was running around calling me a home wrecker, which is another reason why I was so upset. When I had the bite mark on my arm, that was from Blake. But they did me dirty. I filmed an entire season, and I had no idea what was actually being said behind closed doors. I was a home wrecker, but I’d been dating Blake the whole time. I never even held hands with the guy Nicole was referring to. That was Season 8 when Chrishell and Chelsea met Blake. Chrishell and that interaction with Blake at her house with Blake also happened two years ago. We’re talking about two years ago, so I don’t know why she’s holding on to all of this.
What’s your relationship status with Blake now?
We’re spending time together. He’s actually been pretty supportive. He feels bad my best friend would do this to me. Whether he’s made a stupid decision years ago or just her not liking him, he feels bad because ultimately, he knows I’ve done nothing wrong. No one’s perfect by any means. I do think there’s room for people to grow, and I think him being around me has opened up his eyes a lot. I’m a very loving, caring person. He grew up a little bit more sheltered, and he’s learning so much. I think he has good intentions, and he is a sweet, caring person. A lot of the things Chrishell said are not true. He’s working on himself. He felt bad I was dragged for nothing that had anything to do with me. I don’t think you should base somebody off of their partner, especially when their partner is trying to grow and you’re trying to teach them things.
Would you say yes if Blake proposed again?
He just asked me that question. He said, “If I proposed to you again, would you say yes?” I said, “I don’t know. You’re gonna have to wait and see.” I told him the same thing I’m telling everyone. I have no idea.
Do you feel closer to a yes than when he first asked?
When he proposed, that was not even when we were filming Season 9. It was Season 8. He’s proposed a couple of times. I’m gonna get in trouble for saying this.
Would you come back for Season 10?
I’m taking a breather right now. It was a lot, for sure, to be honest with you. I thought Season 8 was hard, and I didn’t think it could get any worse. But welcome to reality TV. Season 9 got worse. Losing your best friend and everything I had to deal with was much harder. I hope no one has to go through what I went through. I cannot say I would be back for Season 10 or I won’t be. Literally, the reunion just came out. Everything’s hot, hot, hot, so I need a second to breathe.
How do you think this cast can go forward?
I don’t know if the show can move forward with this current cast. There has to be changes made. People need to leave, new people need to come in, whatever that means. I don’t know the exact recipe to make that work, but something needs to happen.
The second episode of Selling Sunset season 9 found the cast together for dinner. However, after getting into an argument, Nicole made the mistake of mentioning Chrishell’s deceased parents, saying they were drug addicts. She was almost immediately kicked out of the party and thus off the show for the remainder of the season.
Nicole recently took to Instagram to host a Q&A session with her fans. One person asked who from the cast supported her after she was excluded from filming. She responded, “I wish I could say there were, HOWEVER, everyone at the OGroup who is not on Selling Sunset, I am friends with and supports me. That goes for all the OGroup offices.”

Nicole went on to mention the offices in Orange County and San Diego. She continued, “I know it looks like I’m a loner on my cast, which isn’t untrue, but my relationships with this company go sooooooo far beyond the cast and so much deeper with people outside the cast. The OGroup employs a ton of amazing people that I’m so grateful to call not only colleagues but true friends.”

Next, someone asked why “Chrishell gets away with so much.” The person also called her a “damn bully.” Nicole stated, “FEAR. And favoritism. No one wants to go against the woman who will destroy anyone in her path who doesn’t ‘get in line.’ And she uses me as an example of what she’ll do if you don’t.”
Someone else wanted to know about her status with the group, namely, where she stands with Amanza Smith and Mary Bonnet. According to Nicole, “Amazna? Definitely not. Girls-giving dinner was the end of my relationship with her.”

She continued, “Mary? We’re totally cool, but we’ll never be as close as we once were. When someone doesn’t have your back time and time again, you need to take note.”
Finally, someone asked about her current employment. This is notable because many assumed being essentially fired from the show meant the same for The Oppenheim Group. She debunked this, saying, “I still work at The Oppenheim Group. Getting ‘fired’ was just a dramatic storyline… one I wasn’t privy to until I saw the episode where the cast was told I was let go.”
Recently, Chrishell Stause called out Mary Bonnet over claims that she felt in danger while in the presence of Chelsea Lazkani. Additionally, both Chrishell and Chelsea found themselves excluded from a recent premiere party for the show.
During a recent interview, Mary opened up about the scene from the show that took place at Bre Tiesi‘s party. She stated that her emotions weren’t the only problem and that certain things occurred that made her feel there was a chance she could have been in danger. Mary also said that some of the events from the party weren’t seen on Selling Sunset.
Chrishell then took to Instagram to react to Mary’s interview, which was with US Weekly. She said, “I was there for all the on-camera and off-camera moments.”
The Selling Sunset star continued, “You were never in danger, girl. Alluding that you ever were regarding Chelsea is really dangerous rhetoric. Do BETTER.”

In other Selling Sunset news, on October 29, there was a premiere party for season nine of the hit series at Gravitas in Beverly Hills. Netflix didn’t host the party; instead, Bre did. According to a report from TMZ, Bre excluded both Chrishell and Chelsea from the guest list.
Sources told the outlet that Bre wanted the party to highlight what a great season the cast had, and the event organizers believed it would be best not to include Chrishell and Chelsea. This is because there is ongoing drama with them and multiple other cast members.
TMZ also learned that neither Chrishell nor Chelsea was aware that the premiere party was taking place, and that they probably wouldn’t have attended if they had known about it. Additionally, it appears that Nicole Young was also invited.
There has been considerable discussion about the upcoming ninth season of Netflix’s Selling Sunset. Now, the streaming giant has released a new trailer, which features not only the cast members making real estate deals, but also Emma Hernan and Chrishell Stause experiencing unexpected drama.
The Selling Sunset season nine trailer begins with Bre saying, “The office has been a little savage,” as the cast is then seen walking into different properties in Los Angeles. From there, there’s a voiceover from one of the owners of the Oppenheim Group, saying, “I know there are still factions and frictions. If we can focus on real estate, this is our best year.”
From there, the drama between the cast begins as Emma discusses Blake Davis, whom she was dating at the time. However, it’s worth noting that they broke up in July 2025. Chelsea asks Emma, “What are you going to tell Chrishell when you’re engaged to Blake?”
Emma responds, “She fu***** hates him.” After this, the trailer shows Chrishell confronting Emma about her relationship. She says, “You’re in a relationship with this man stuck with a child.”
Additionally, the trailer teases the major clash between Nicole and Chrishell, which seemingly led to the former having a more limited presence on this season of the show.
Later in the preview, Mary can be seen discussing the break-in that occurred at her home, and she discusses how it made her feel unsafe and also forced her to “put things into perspective.”
The new season of Selling Sunset premieres on Netflix on October 29. Based on previous comments from the cast, they have already filmed the reunion for the season, and Nicole stated that she was only present for a short segment.
Emma Hernan is finally setting the record straight on those Selling Sunset affair rumors. The reality star and empanada entrepreneur didn’t hold back as she addressed the allegations that surfaced during Season 8 of the Netflix series, where her co-star Nicole Young suggested that she was romantically involved with a married man.
In a recent interview with Vulture, Emma didn’t mince words when it came to her costar Nicole’s claims. “Nicole is a sick individual. I’m going to be super candid. There’s zero truth to that rumor,” Emma said. The 32-year-old real estate agent went on to explain that the situation in question dated back to 2021 when she showed properties to a potential client who later expressed interest in investing in her empanada company.
“When I say nothing happened, I never touched this man, never kissed this man, never held hands with this man,” she insisted. “I was completely blindsided by this whole situation, and I mean backstabbed by everyone involved, everyone that knew anything about this because it’s completely slander, it’s defamation [and] it’s all of the things.”
The drama unfolded during Season 8 of Selling Sunset when Nicole, 38, made some serious allegations. In a scene with other cast members, Nicole cryptically hinted at the alleged affair, saying, “I wish I didn’t know. It involves Emma and that’s all I wanna say. It’s morally upsetting to all of us. It’s just information that could really affect families, marriages and Emma’s reputation.”
Nicole didn’t stop there. In a confessional interview, she doubled down on her claims, saying, “I did hear from a reliable source that Emma has likely had relations with a married man.” She even went as far as to call Emma “hypocritical” for supporting Chelsea amid her divorce, given the rumors surrounding Emma herself.
According to Emma, the man in question was going through a divorce and had reached out to her about looking at properties. She acknowledged that there might have been a crush on his part but maintained that “there was nothing, not one single thing that transpired.”
The situation has created quite a stir among the Selling Sunset cast. Emma revealed that her costars Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and the Oppenheim brothers, Jason and Brett, have been supportive throughout the ordeal. “We feel so bad. We have your back 100 percent. Whatever you need us to do. We know nothing like this happened,” Emma quoted them as saying.
Mary Fitzgerald, in a separate interview with Us Weekly, corroborated Emma’s side of the story. “Emma explained it to me but it was nothing like what Nicole said,” Mary said. She added, “I just feel really bad that she’s going to be put into that light. In my opinion, even if something like that happened, I don’t agree with it. But you don’t do that to the world—you don’t blast someone out like that.”
This isn’t the first time Nicole has stirred up controversy on the show. Since joining the cast in Season 6 as a replacement for former villain Christine Quinn, she’s quickly earned a reputation as the show’s new antagonist. Emma didn’t hold back in her assessment of Nicole’s motives, suggesting that these accusations were merely a ploy for airtime.
“The only headlines and the only airtime that Nicole gets is by attacking other women,” Emma stated. “She came for Chrishell [Stause] the first season, and that’s the only reason that she got cast. And then, now I guess it was my turn.”
Emma’s close friends and costars, Chrishell Stause and Chelsea Lazkani, have also publicly come to her defense, slamming Nicole on social media for spreading what they believe to be false information. Chrishell didn’t hold back, writing on Instagram, “Someone needs to take my phone [because] 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Are we really still giving air time to LIARS that just want air time??”
Whether this will be the end of the affair allegations remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure—the drama on Selling Sunset and its spinoffs is always far from over.
This story contains spoilers for Selling Sunset Season 8.
Selling Sunset is back on Netflix, and if you binged all 10 episodes over the weekend — same. By now, we know the drama is inevitable, but Season 8 still managed to surprise us with some wild twists we never saw coming.
Premiering on Friday, Sept. 6, Season 8 ties up some loose ends from last season, but it’s far from a smooth ride for the agents of The Oppenheim Group. The office gets even more heated as fresh feuds flare up between your favourite L.A. agents — Chrishell Stause, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan, Bre Tiesi, Mary Bonnet, Nicole Young, Amanza Smith, and, of course, Brett and Jason Oppenheim.
While we said goodbye to longtime cast member Heather Rae El Moussa in Season 7, this season introduces us a new face ready to shake things up.
Read on for a breakdown of the five biggest moments that Selling Sunset Season 8 delivered.
Bre Tiesi Learns Chelsea Lazkani’s Husband Is Cheating on Her
Bre Tiesi found herself in the middle of a jaw-dropping revelation involving Chelsea Lazkani’s marriage. In episode 3, Tiesi hears from a mutual friend that Lazkani’s husband, Jeff, was spotted “making out” with another woman at the W Hotel in Hollywood. Although the two have had their share of tension, Tiesi decides to inform Lazkani in episode 5. She reveals that her friend Amanda had text message “receipts” to back up the story.
Tiesi insists she had good intentions, but things spiral out of control when Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan question her decision to bring up the topic on camera. Stause even confronts Tiesi, asking, “Can you clarify if the scene with Amanda was set up by you?” Frustrated by the accusation, Tiesi fires back, “Now I’m starting to get really f***ing pissed,” and tensions between the agents continue to escalate. Tensions rise, and by episode 7, Tiesi skips lunch dates and unfollows Hernan on Instagram, signalling that the drama isn’t over.
Are Selling Sunset‘s Chelsea Lazkani and Her Husband Still Together?
On March 27, 2024, TMZ reported that Chelsea had officially filed for divorce, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split. The legal documents reportedly show that Chelsea requested ‘joint physical and legal custody’ of their children, as well as ‘spousal support.’
While she didn’t specify the exact date of their separation, Chelsea did remove all traces of Jeff from her Instagram. It’s unclear if the divorce has been finalised. However, by the end of Season 8, Chelsea is shown removing her wedding ring during a confessional, saying, “I think this needs to come off. The foundation I built in Manhattan Beach is something I thought I would be building for years to come. I would have fought to the very end for my marriage.”
Nicole Young Claims Emma Hernan Was Involved With a Married Man
Netflix
Nicole Young is no stranger to drama, but her latest revelation takes things to another level. In episode 5, while visiting Pioneertown with Gold, Smith, and Bonnet, Young hints that she heard something “morally upsetting” about Emma Hernan — but she keeps the details vague at first. Later, in episode 10, Young reveals what she heard: that Hernan had allegedly been involved with a married man.
“I did hear from a reliable source that Emma has likely had relations with a married man,” Young says in a confessional clip, adding that Hernan’s attitude about Chelsea Lazkani’s marriage troubles made the rumour even more shocking. Bre Tiesi is quick to chime in, saying, “Not a husband snatcher…” The rumour sends waves through the group, and even before the season aired, both Stause and Lazkani took to social media to defend Hernan, calling it a “damaging lie”.
A New Agent Shakes Things Up
Netflix
Alanna Gold makes her debut this season, and she’s definitely not here to play. The 32-year-old Canadian agent reveals she owns Pioneertown, a functioning Old West town that was once a movie set. True to Selling Sunset style, she invites Mary Bonnet, Amanza Smith, and Nicole Young to experience it.
Gold quickly shows she can handle the competitive L.A. real estate market, even after losing a Manhattan Beach listing to Bonnet and Lazkani in episode 2. Later, she tackles a challenging Hollywood Hills property, proving her skills among the Oppenheim Group veterans.
Mary Bonnet and Chelsea Lazkani Face Off
Netflix
One of the season’s biggest feuds kicks off right in the first episode when Mary Bonnet reveals she’s had a falling out with Chelsea Lazkani. The root of the conflict? Lazkani referred to Bonnet as “the biggest pot-stirrer in the office” during a social media Q&A. Things go from bad to worse when Lazkani sends Bonnet a text saying, “Keep my f***ing name out of your mouth.”
Tensions hit their peak in episode 3 at Amanza Smith’s birthday party when Bonnet tries to smooth things over with Lazkani, only for the conversation to turn into a screaming match. Even Bonnet’s husband Romain steps in, which only escalates the situation. By episode 4, the two agents repair their relationship during an emotional heart-to-heart. Lazkani apologises, and Bonnet sheds tears, leading to a bond over past traumas.
Mary Bonnet and Jason Oppenheim’s Dog Dies at 18 Years Old
Netflix
In one of the most heartfelt moments of the season, Mary Bonnet and Jason Oppenheim say goodbye to their beloved dog, Niko, who passed away at 18 years old. The two have shared custody of Niko since their breakup. And Jason tearfully reveals in episode 8 that the dog’s kidney failure had left him with only days to live. Anyone else crying?
The agents come together to mourn Niko’s death. Jason and Mary host a touching memorial service, where they reveal they’ve both gotten tattoos using Niko’s ashes. However, more drama quickly overshadows the emotional moment as Bre Tiesi, Chelsea Lazkani, and the rest of the group escalate their feud over Lazkani’s husband’s alleged infidelity — right in the middle of Niko’s funeral. Bonnet is left “appalled” by her colleagues’ behaviour.
Selling Sunset Fashion: Where to Shop
While the drama might be intense, the Selling Sunset cast always manages to look effortlessly chic. Want to steal their style without breaking the bank? Here are some budget-friendly alternatives to shop:
Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young have butted heads ever since Nicole replaced Christine Quinn as the newest villain of The Oppenheim Group in Selling Sunset Season 6. But their feud has never been more serious than the homophobic accusations in Season 8.
What did Nicole say that was homophobic on Selling Sunset?
Nicole was first accused of being homophobic toward Chrishell in Selling Sunset Season 7, when she claimed that Nicole had supported a homophobic comment toward her. “I was hoping the lesbian chick was off in Australia this season and not on our screens. Whatever her name is, I forgot. Nicole you look great!” a user commented on Nicole’s Instagram, to which Nicole responded, “Thank you!!” with a heart emoji.
The comment was brought up by host Tan France during the Selling Sunset Season 7 reunion where Chrishell’s friend and cast mate, Chelsea Lazkani, explained why Nicole’s response to the user was offensive toward Chrishell, who has been dating nonbinary singer G Flip since 2022. “When somebody identifies Chrisell through her sexuality in a derogatory way and then you comment back to it, you’re basically cosigning that message,” Chelsea said.
Courtesy of Netflix.
Nicole, for her part, defended herself, claiming that she didn’t know it was homophobic to call someone a “gay man” or a “lesbian woman.” Chrishell responded by telling Nicole she “hates” her.
“First of all, say whatever you want about me, I’m a tough bitch,” she said. “But don’t go after my partner. Ever. Listen, I will own it. I’ve been a bitch to you. I hate you. I own it… If you’re gonna literally go to homophobic people and cheer them on because they hate me for that reason, that is hate, Nicole.”
The drama was brought up again during Selling Sunset Season 8 when Nicole made an alleged dig toward Nicole in a Selling Sunset group chat after Selling Sunset was nominated for a GLAAD Award. “The show was nominated for a GLAAD award. Chrishell sent a text to the group thanking everyone for being supportive of her coming out on the show,” she recalled. “I think there was maybe a slight dig at Nicole,” cast member Amanza Smith explained to Jason Oppenheim in a scene.
In the text message, Chrishell wrote, “Coming out on the show was obviously maybe the most stressful thing ever. And dealing with so many relentless homophobes for years and having to deal with someone you cast on the show spreading hate about this. So this is SO nice. Thank you to everyone that has always been supportive — millions of people look up to you! It makes a difference — so I just wanted to say thank you. And congrats!”
Nicole, for her part, denied suggestions she was homophobic in her text back to the group. “I would like to point out that all of you who responded to this text did the EXACT same thing that I have been unfairly crucified for. You all ignored the accusation Chrishell clearly made toward me but simply responded to the positive aspects of her text,” Nicole wrote. “The double standard is bullshit. If anyone tries to claim that she didn’t mention my name? Well the woman who made the comment on my Instagram didn’t mention Chrishell’s name either.”
Nicole also maintained that her “likes” of negative comments toward Chrishell’s sexuality weren’t “intentional” supports of hate speech. “To me there are two options, you either are homophobic or you’re not and you were just so excited and wrapped up in your hate for me that you banded onto people that hated me and happened to be attacking me for my sexuality,” Chrishell responded to Nicole. “If you owned it I would be like, ‘OK.’ I would respect it and we could move on.”
After being urged by Jason and his brother, Brett Oppenheim, to “take accountability,” Nicole apologized to Chrishell. “It was a stupid mistake,” Nicole said. I fully support you. I am not homophobic. It tears me up that your or anyone else would think that because I am not. I know how hurtful it is. I am truly, deeply sorry.”
While Nicole and Chrishell seemed to have mended ties by the end of the season, Chrishell slammed Nicole in an Instagram Story the week before Selling Sunset Season 8 premiered after learning of a rumor she spread that cast mate Emma Hernan had an affair with a married man. “Disclaimer when you watch: Just know she spews a disgusting lie about a bestie that is categorically FALSE and SUPER damaging,” Chrishell wrote. “It is NOT TRUE. [And] @done_and_done_productions you are disgusting for blindsiding [my friend] with this to see with the world instead of letting her at LEAST defend herself with the TRUTH.”
Chelsea also blasted Nicole for bringing the rumor up on screen, as well as supported Chrishell’s claims that Nicole was both homophobic and transphobic. “@itsnicoleyoung You are the most diabolical piece of [trash] I’ve ever met, you wanna start a rumor about Emma because all the rumors about you are true. Okay let’s see how this works out for you….” Chelsea wrote. She continued by tagging Nicole, as well as rival cast mates Bre Tiesi and Mary Bonnet: “You lie, placate, steal meanwhile your own [trash] has landed some of you in lawsuits. I’ve kept quiet until now, but this is not okay.”
In another slide, Chelsea wrote, “FYI: Nicole is not the only homophobic and transphobic cast member.”
It’s 2024 and Reality TV is more popular than ever. When this genre of unscripted television first hit the scene in the early 2000s, audiences and critics alike quickly labeled these shows “Trash TV.”
For the general public, reality TV is often categorized by viewers as a “guilty pleasure” rather than regular network fare. Yet reality television’s once lowbrow status has shifted in recent years due to the rapid improvement in storytelling and soaring ratings.
Shows like Vanderpump Rules and Love is Blind are massively more trendy than your average scripted series. But let’s take a look back at some of the most memorable and scandalous moments in reality TV history.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Kim and Kourtney Catfight
Keeping Up With The Kardashians reveals the dramatic day-to-day lives of the most famous family on the planet. Building a Kardashian empire takes a whole lot of work, thanks to Kim Kardashian and Momager, Kris Jenner. But Kourtney Kardashian has always been less of a businesswoman and more of a proud mama of several children.
Many times throughout the series, Kim and Kourtney butted heads over lifestyle matters. While Kim frequently dissed Kourtney by suggesting she’s lazy and lacks work ethic, Kourtney was steadfast in her belief that there’s nothing wrong with being a stay-at-home mom.
Things took a dramatic turn when the ongoing fight led to a physical altercation between the two sisters. It was easily one of the series’ most dramatic moments when the tension eventually reached a boiling point between the eldest daughters in the Kar-Jenner clan.
The fight ended with some nasty scratches on Kim’s back and a whole lot of tears.
Kim Loses Her Earring…In the Ocean
One of the most viral moments in Kardashian lore happened long ago — Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean! This happened when Kris Humphries — her fiance at the time — playfully threw her in the water.
The incident caused Kim to burst into tears over her missing earring. Yet it was Kourtney’s response that made the moment, when she said: “Kim, there are people dying,” in an attempt to bring her sister back to reality.
The Least Interesting to Look At
In yet another brawl between Kim and Kourtney. Kim screamed in a fit of rage that her sister was the least interesting Kar-Jenner to look at. Ouch! First of all, so not true. But fortunately, Kourt was able to take the moment in stride. For her 40th birthday party — documented on the hit reality show, of course — she had a bunch of decorations strewn about that announced “Least interesting to look at.”
Vanderpump Rules
Stassi Confronts Kristen and Jax’s Affair
Vanderpump Rules promises epic scandals in just about every episode — one of the many reasons why the show is such a smashing success. Yet one of the most shocking moments of the Bravo series was when Stassi learned of Kristen and Jax’s secret affair.
The news came as a nasty shock, since Kristen was always Stassi’s best friend, and Jax was Stassi’s longterm boyfriend. While Stassi expected as much from the notoriously unfaithful Jax, she was heartbroken to find out that her best friend betrayed her.
Stassi didn’t hold back when she slapped Kristen for her secret affair with Jax.
Jax Gets a Tattoo of Stassi’s Name
If you look up the word “reckless” in the dictionary, you could find Jax’s face. The reality TV villain is known for his outlandish behavior, so if anyone was destined to get a tattoo of their ex girlfriend’s name on their skin, it was gonna be Jax.
To make matters crazier, during the season 3 reunion, Jax got yet another tattoo of another woman’s face on his arm that looked strikingly like Stassi. Stassi hilariously responded by telling her ex, “You’re a literal serial killer.”
Scandoval
How could we not include Scandoval on our list? For those who have been hiding under a rock for the past year, Vanderpump Rules took a nasty turn when (SPOILER ALERT!) Tom Sandoval cheated on his long-term girlfriend, Ariana Madix, with their close friend, Raquel.
The moment was so outrageous that Bravo fans have been quick to label it as one of the most shocking moments in reality TV history.
Love is Blind
Zanab Tells Off Cole
Season 3 of Love is Blind saw Zanab and Cole in a tumultuous engagement. Things took a turn for the worse when Cole expressed his attraction and physical preference for another contestant, Colleen.
While there were several nasty bumps in the road for this LIB couple, fans were still freaked out to witness Zanab confront Cole for his bad behavior during their wedding ceremony. Zanab’s speech, in which she claimed Cole “destroyed” her confidence, ended with the wedding attendees applauding Zanab.
Irina and Micah Get Confronted
Love is Blind Season 4 was rife with drama inside the pods. While the drama on the dating show is generally focused on each couple, this occurrence involved bullying within the Girls’ pods.
Contestants Irina and Micah were labeled the “mean girls” of the season. And they were finally confronted for it during the season 4 reunion.
Below Deck
Natalya vs. Tumi
Below Deck reveals the ship’s crew members in some of the most gorgeous locations on earth, yet the drama happening inside the ship is anything but pretty. Season 8 of Below DeckMed got messy when Natalya and Tumi immediately butted heads.
Of course, the drama was instigated by notorious pot-stirrer Kyle Viljoen, who whispered some things in Tumi’s ear about Natalya that she found unfavorable.
Ruan Gets Fired On Day 1
Below Deck Med Season 8 began with crew member and bosun Ruan getting fired on the very first day. It all kicked off when the crew member failed to provide the proper documents necessary to serve on the ship. Later, it proved that the paperwork he had was forged. Yikes!
Selling Sunset
Christine vs. Chrishell
Christine and Chrishell’s polarizing personalities made their time in the Oppenheim Group a nearly impossible endeavor. But their season 1 showdown that happened during the season finale ended with Chrishell in tears as she stormed off the set.
It all started when Christine labeled Chrishell as “fake” for talking behind Mary’s back regarding her relationship with Romain. Christine and Chrishell butted heads for so long, that Christine went so far as to call her party drinks “Chrishell’s Two-Faced Tonic.” Ouch!
Davina Vs. Chrishell
In 2020, all eyes were on Selling Sunset star Chrishell amid her divorce with This is Us actor Justin Hartly. Their divorce was anything but amicable, considering the deed was allegedly initiated via text message from Justin, and Chrishell said he was unfaithful.
Despite how heartbroken Chrishell was, Davina stirred things up by telling Chrishell that there are “Two sides to every story.” Oof.
If you just finished binge watching the latest season, you may be asking yourself the question on everyone else’s mind: did Bre leave Selling Sunset? The real estate agent ended things on a pretty dramatic note at the end of Selling Sunset season 7, leaving many fans wondering what the future holds for her and the Oppenheim Group. Warning: spoilers for Selling Sunset season 7 ahead.
The final episode of Selling Sunset season 7 sees Bre, who joined the brokerage during season 6 of the Netflix series, storming off after a conversation with Chelsea, a fellow agent at the Oppenheim Group. The drama started when Chelsea — who has never really gotten along with Bre, despite apologizing for shading her relationship with her baby daddy Nick Cannon in the past — decided to voice her opinions again. This time, Chelsea called out Bre’s interactions with Cassandra, an agent who ran into the cast at an open house in Cabo, Mexico, where the Oppenheim Group opened a new office this season.
During the open house, Cassandra approached Bre and claimed to know her from her time as a bottle service girl in Los Angeles. She also claimed that Bre asked her and her friends to model for her fitness app. Bre, however, completely curved Cassandra and claimed to have never met her before.
Fast forward to the Selling Sunset season 7 finale, where Cassandra joins Chelsea at the Oppenheim Group’s new office warming party in Los Angeles. Chelsea calls Bre out for not being kinder to Cassandra when she first met her in Cabo, while Cassandra also weighs in on Bre’s attitude toward her. Let’s just say that Bre didn’t take this well. She left the party, shouting expletives while she ripped off her microphone. “I’m done with this whole f—ing s—t, I’m sick of this s—t,” she said. “F—k the show. F—k this f—ing office!” The season ended there, giving us no updates about the future of Bre’s relationship with the brokerage.
So, that’s leaves us with the question: Does Bre leave Selling Sunset? Here’s what we know about Bre’s future with the Oppenheim Group so far.
While Bre hasn’t publicly commented on whether she’s returning to Selling Sunset if the series gets renewed for an eighth season, she is still listed as an agent on the Oppenheim Group’s website. Of course, only time will tell if we’ll see her back on our Netflix screens—but for now, it looks like she hasn’t stopped working as a real estate agent with the firm.
That said, Bre’s drama with Chelsea and Cassandra isn’t the only reason she might have for wanting to call it quits. During the season finale, Bre also met up with Jason to talk business. She explained how a previous brokerage she worked for offered their agents a 90-10 split, where the agent gets 90 percent of the commission and the brokerage gets the remaining 10 percent. At the O Group, however, all the agents are subjected to an 80-20 split.
In her conversation with Jason, Bre asked about increasing her commission split, noting her recent drama with Chelsea was making her reconsider her role at the O Group. But Jason’s answer was firm: “I certainly wouldn’t want you leaving the brokerage because of the acts of one of the other agents,” he said. “And I want you to stay, but the commission split’s not negotiable.”
Bre left the conversation visibly upset, revealing that she wasn’t sure if she would even attend the party later that evening—the same party where her confrontation with Chelsea took place. For now, all we can do is wait and see what happens next!

With each season of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset,” the cast’s wardrobes grow bolder and more memorable. Now, on Season 7, the cast doesn’t fail to deliver when it comes to over-the-top fashion, from Chelsea Lazkani to Chrishell Stause. The “Selling Sunset” outfits are famously dressy — think 7-inch heels worn to open houses — and sometimes they’re even borderline outrageous (namely, Lazkani’s viral vagina purse).
In fact, Lazkani put it best when it comes to styling her memorable looks for the show. “When you’re on a cast with a number of ladies and you all have different body types, you’ve got to know what your best assets are,” she told POPSUGAR, adding: “I’m not 5’9″ like the rest of the girls, I’m 5’5″, but you may think that I’m a lot taller than I am because I show off the parts of me that are flattering. I think everything is about angles and knowing what works for you.”
It’s safe to say the rest of the women on the cast — including Heather Rae El Moussa and Mary Fitzgerald — all abide by that rule. Keep reading for everything to know about the “Selling Sunset” outfits.
Where does the “Selling Sunset” cast get their outfits? Does the “Selling Sunset” cast wear their own clothes?
While most castmates simply shop their own closet, Emma Hernan did collaborate with creative consultant Kendall Finzer for her wardrobe of thigh-high slits and monochrome suit sets.
In season 5, former castmate Christine Quinn worked with stylist Kat Gosik on her eye-catching looks. (In May 2023, Quinn alleged that “Selling Sunset” producers pressured the cast to adhere to a revealing dress code. Netflix, Lionsgate, and Done and Done Productions did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR’s request for comment.)
Does the “Selling Sunset” cast actually dress like that?
Yes, the “Selling Sunset” cast dresses the same in real life, whether they’re going to the office at The Oppenheim Group for a meeting or hosting an open house. “Anything can be office wear these days,” says Chrishell Stause. “Add a blazer to that cute dress and you are ready to go.” Likewise, traditional office wear simply isn’t Lazkani’s aesthetic of choice. “I don’t actually feel comfortable in those tailored suit pants that women traditionally wear in business settings, so I choose not to wear them,” she said. “I prefer to wear a cute dress and a blazer.”
Ahead, the women of “Selling Sunset” break down their personal style philosophies for POPSUGAR. Keep scrolling to read our exclusive interviews and to see outfits from the best seasons of “Selling Sunset.”
Jason Oppenheim and Marie-Lou Nurk have ended their relationship, citing long distance as a challenge they couldn’t overcome.
The “Selling Sunset” star, 45, and model, 25, took to their Instagram Stories and shared the same photo and statement which read, “While we still love and care about each other very much, the distance between us has prove to be too great a challenge to overcome. We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship.”
When season 6 of the hit Netflix show dropped earlier this month, Oppenheim told his ex, Chrishell Stause, at an open house party that he was, in fact, in love with Nurk, whom Oppenheim started dating after his emotional split from Stause, which was documented in season 5. It’s unclear when exactly that open house party took place, but filming for season 6 started in Los Angeles around August 2022.

Oppenheim and Nurk, who is based in Paris, met sometime in 2022 while on vacation in Mykonos, Greece. Calling it a “total surprise,” Oppenheim told People that he was having dinner with friends when he “just had to say hi.” He said he was attracted to the fact that there was a sense of anonymity when it came to their first encounter.
“I liked that she hadn’t seen the show, so she didn’t really know who I was or about my relationship with Chrishell,” Oppenheim said.
In August 2022, Oppenheim and Nurk made their red carpet debut at the “Day Shift” premiere, and it was there where Oppenheim first teased she might have a role, albeit a small one, during season 6 of the hit Netflix show.
Nurk would appear in the third episode of season 6, when she shows up to the firm’s location on the Sunset Strip and meets the crew, including Stause.
Oppenheim’s split from Nurk comes as a bit of a shock, considering it was just a few months ago when a source told ET that Oppenheim was considering marriage given he had “never felt more serious about anyone” at the time.
“He has never considered marriage in a real way before, and now he is. That conversation is still very down the line, but he’s happy with Marie-Lou,” the source said.
After they were spotted in Greece, ET spoke with Oppenehim at “The Gray Man” premiere and he played coy when asked about having a connection with Nurk.
“I mean, she’s great,” he said at the time. “She’s cool. I had a good time.”
During the sixth season of “Selling Sunset”, which dropped May 19 on Netflix, viewers witnessed realtor Amanza Smith experiencing a cancer scare after a scan of her uterus.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, May 23, however, Smith had some good news to share.
“Thank you to everyone for your concerns and well wishes towards my health. I am happy to tell you that I am in fact, not only cancer free, but also possibly aging backwards and happier than I’ve been in forever! ♥️🙏🏽😂,” she wrote.
“The results of my biopsy were benign! I will continue to be grateful for my health, and even more so now than ever!” she continued.
“You realize that if it is in fact, in poor, standing, everything else falls secondary. I have lost many loved ones to cancer. The most recent one was my adoptive father and you all see that in season six. Maybe I didn’t say how he passed but that was how and it is a very sensitive subject,” she added.
She then addressed the bad blood between her and co-star Chrishell Stause, and attempted to put a positive spin on the situation.
“I know that it is very public that Chrishell and I have our own little feud right now however, I also know that she too, has suffered a great deal of pain by losing loved ones from this terrible awful disease,” she noted.
“It affects everyone involved in a very heartbreaking way. Let’s celebrate life on this post and I urge you to please if you are going to comment make this one, the one that you bite your tongue and only make it positive. Negativity causes disease everyone remember that … it’s something we don’t want to mess with … love, positivity, and happiness actually heal it. Big love to you all. Thank you for the support,” she wrote, concluding, “We are so grateful to have the number one show in the US on Netflix.”
