'Selling Sunset' Season 8 Is Full Of Messy Gossip — Here's How The Cast Has Responded
This piece contains spoilers for “Selling Sunset” season 8, which premiered on Netflix on Friday.
“Selling Sunset” Season 8 just may be the messiest installment yet.
The hit Netflix reality series returned on Friday with the glamorous agents of Oppenheim Group ready to step up their real estate game again. But luxury house listings will be the last thing on viewers’ minds, as explosive drama and scathing rumors this season have sparked cast-wide feuds that could change the group’s dynamics forever.
Some of the biggest moments in Season 8 involved Chelsea Lazkani, who clashed with castmate Mary Fitzgerald over remarks about Lazkani being a “pot-stirrer.” Even Fitzgerald’s husband, Romain Bonnet, got involved, after a nasty text exchange between his wife and Lazkani.
But the Lazkani and Fitzgerald’s frivolous beef — which also involved an argument about proper work clothing — was nothing compared to the shocking tea Lazkani’s fellow cast member and longtime frenemy Bre Tiesi dishes out about Lazkani’s marriage.
Tiesi said a friend of a friend saw Lazkani’s estranged husband, Jeff Lazkani, making out with another woman. Tiesi said she was attempting to repair her and Lazkani’s relationship, and felt she did the right thing ― Lazkani had filed for divorce in March ― but telling Lazkani about the rumor only seemed to offend her. During a conversation with close friends and fellow castmates Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan, Lazkani accused Tiesi of trying to purposely “implode” her life on camera.
Another infidelity rumor that divided the “Selling Sunset” cast this season involved Hernan and series star Nicole Young, who at one point insinuated that Hernan had an affair with a married man. Young avoided going into detail
