The cast of Netflix’s hit show Selling Sunset is in conflict again as its 8th season begins. The realtors ended Season 7 on a bad note, and things haven’t improved.
This season, Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, and Chelsea Lazkani are not only confronting their co-star Nicole Young over her alleged lies but also calling out producer Adam Di’Vello. The trouble began when Stause and Lazkani watched the new season early and were upset by some things Young said about Hernan.
This led to a social media backlash from Stause and Lazkani. Stause even threatened to quit the show if Young remained part of it. Although other realtors from the Oppenheim Group are not directly involved, Brie Tiesi and Mary Bonnet were also dragged into the drama by Lazkani.
While the exact rumor causing the fuss is not public, it seems Young started a false rumor about Hernan during the filming of Season 8. Hernan appears to have been completely surprised by this, and her friends Stause and Lazkani are very upset.
Nicole Young Allegedly Accused Hernan of Being Involved with a Married Man
Nicole Young joined the show in Season 6 and quickly clashed with Chrishell Stause, who is seen as the main character of the reality series. The feud began when Young accused Stause of claiming credit for a listing they worked on together.
Stause denied the claims and used Instagram to reveal Young’s falsehoods. Stause said they were on good terms until Young joined the show, after which she began to attack Stause without cause. Their conflict intensified during the Season 7 reunion special when Stause suggested that Young was homophobic.
The truce between these co-stars seems impossible now as Young allegedly spread new lies, this time about Stause’s best friend. Stause exposed Young for spreading false rumors about Hernan through a series of Instagram posts.
Stause tagged the show’s production company and said she would prefer to leave the show and face a lawsuit rather than continue working with Young. Rumors spread that Young hinted at a scandal involving Hernan and a married man, but Hernan seemed unaware of these accusations. This has led to Stause and Lazkani being very angry.
Stause Claims They Have All the Evidence to Prove Young Wrong
Lazkani was quick to support Stause in calling out Young. Her now-deleted posts showed her calling Young “the most diabolical piece of trash” she has ever met. Lazkani also tagged Tiesi and Bonnet, accusing them of lying, placating, and stealing.

She hinted that these ladies might have lawsuits against them but did not explain further. None of the cast members, except Young, have responded to Lazkani’s claims yet.
Stause believes Season 8 will be a major turning point for the show. She mentioned that Young started a rumor about her best friend that is simply not true. Stause shared on Instagram that they have evidence to prove Young wrong but weren’t given a chance to do so on the show.
She posted a picture of herself with Lazkani and Hernan, saying, “Love these girls so much! The days of us being afraid of lies being told are over. We have receipts and voices.” It seems Stause, Lazkani, and Hernan will share their side of the story on social media as the show airs.
Nicole Young’s Response to the Allegations Adds Fuel to the Fire
In response to the Instagram posts and accusations from Stause and Lazkani, Young defended herself. She posted on Instagram, stating that she supports the sanctity of all marriages, which seemed to confirm the allegations about Hernan being involved with a married man. Young called out Stause and Lazkani, suggesting they should ask their best friend “some tough questions.”
Young also claimed that Hernan was confronted by the wife’s best friend during the Season 7 finale, but this scene didn’t make the final cut. She insisted she always considered the news a rumor.
Young also made a subtle remark about Stause and Lazkani’s previous marriages and their ex-husbands’ infidelities, saying, “Given both of you have been the victim of extramarital affairs, I would think you too would stand for the sanctity of all marriages.”
At the same time, Tiesi shared quotes on Instagram to show she was staying out of the drama. She confirmed that she wasn’t aligning with Young, despite her issues with Lazkani.
When Tiesi posted a picture with her son, fans tried to figure out her stance. Tiesi stated that she would never support Young and was not friends with her. “I don’t agree with everything she does and says and I’ve spoken on it each time.”
She also addressed Lazkani’s attempt to drag her into the controversy, stating she had no involvement in it and would not engage with Lazkani.
Is Chrishell Stause Leaving ‘Selling Sunset’ After Season 8?
Season 8 of Selling Sunset marks the third season of ongoing conflict between Stause and Young. In the Season 7 finale, Stause had a tense conversation with Bonnet about struggling to balance work and her personal life.
Her partner, Australian singer G-Flip, travels often, which seems to have affected their long-distance relationship and added to Stause’s stress at work. In the final moments of Season 7, Bonnet suggested Stause take time off to be with G. Given everything that happened in Season 8, it might be time for Stause to leave the show for good.
Stause previously told a fan on Instagram that she had just one more year of filming left. She plans to show other opportunities, like hosting or a travel show with her partner.

She also rejected the idea of joining another reality show centered on her personal life. With Stause and G also in the process of adopting a child, Stause may want to focus on this journey.
If Nicole Young remains on the show, Stause has given producers an ultimatum. If Stause does leave, it will raise many questions about the future of the Oppenheim Group and the show’s direction.
Selling Sunset Season 8 is now streaming, and previous seasons are available on Netflix in the U.S.
