Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ is an exciting reality show that offers a glimpse into the lives of several real estate agents from the Oppenheim Group. The agents welcome the cameras into their personal lives and showcase how they navigate professional and personal commitments while dealing with everyday issues related to love, friendship, and betrayal. Moreover, the show even brings on an essence of steamy romances and high-octane drama, which makes for exciting television.
Realtor Emma Hernan has been on the show for a while, so she is known for her pacifist approach to most workplace altercations. She takes a lot of pride in her professionalism as a realtor and her entrepreneurial ventures, but she also often finds herself caught up in interpersonal drama. However, no one could have imagined that her wonderful, tight-knit friendship with Chrishell Stause would eventually turn sour too, with season 9 laying the groundwork for all the chaos.
Emma Hernan and Chrishell Stause Once Completely Trusted Each Other
When Emma Hernan joined ‘Selling Sunset‘ in season 4, her castmates took some time to open up to the newcomer. After all, even before appearing on the show, she had a notable reputation as a realtor and entrepreneur, plus she also owns a private jet, which naturally led many to believe she belonged to a different social status. Yet, Chrishell did not pay much heed to such differences and was among the first to extend a hand in friendship. From that moment onwards, she and Emma developed a special bond and were often spotted spending time with each other at the office or on vacation.
Interestingly, Chrishell and Emma came even closer in season 5 when they were united in their dislike for co-worker Christine Quinn. The latter was known for causing a lot of drama in the office, and in one instance, Emma discovered that her co-worker had bribed a client to stop working with her. Without wasting time, she confronted Christine about her behavior, and even though the latter denied all allegations, the office had differing stands on the issue. Nevertheless, Chrishell supported Emma throughout it all, which even affected her friendship with Christine. Yet, the actress-turned-real estate agent refused to accept any betrayal against her friend and even asked Jason to look into the matter. Subsequently, he asked Christine for clarification, but she failed to turn up at the meeting before resigning.
The tables then turned in seasons 6, 7, 8, and 9 as it was Chrishell who ended up getting involved in a lot of drama with Nicole Young, just for Emma to back her every step of the way. This resulted in the latter targeting her as well, yet the entrepreneur couldn’t care less because she knew who she was, where she stood, and who her true friends were. In fact, in season 8, unbeknownst to Emma, Nicole spread a rumor suggesting she had gotten involved with a married man despite knowing his relationship status. Nicole further asserted it was hypocritical of her to support Chelsea Lazkani so strongly upon hearing her husband might have cheated, as she herself has allegedly been the other woman. However, her friends – Chelsea and Chrishell – who knew the real her, actually defended her both publicly as well as privately.
Emma Hernan and Chrishell Stause Are Currently Involved In a Bitter Feud
While Emma, Chrishell, and Chelsea seemed like an unwavering trio in season 9, even with the issues with Nicole and Chrishell not liking Emma’s new boyfriend, things changed after filming ended. The actress turned realtor had been very open about not approving the entrepreneur’s romance with Blake Davis, believing he was not mature enough or kind enough for her best friend. Emma took these comments with a grain of salt under the belief she was just being protective, yet after a point, she began feeling as if Chrishell was not only being judgmental but also almost cruel. Yet, by the end of the season, it all seemed okay as Emma and Blake ended up parting ways, which Chrishell was glad for.
Chrishell obviously didn’t like seeing Emma heartbroken, but she believed there were better men out there for her, a sentiment she didn’t hesitate to reiterate later on. Nevertheless, everything turned upside down shortly after as the couple reconciled, resulting in genuine friction between the duo and them last being seen together at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour on May 1, 2025. It was mere weeks later that Chrishell confirmed her feud with Emma in an Instagram post comment after a fan asked what was going on between them.
Chrishell’s response was, “Ask (Emma) about her MAGA bf who told me pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word. I just can’t with that. Too old to allow that in. But love her from afar.” Shortly after, Blake gave his side of the story to The Daily Mail, revealing he had once “regretfully referred to G Flip” as Chrishell’s “wife.” He added that after he was corrected and told that G Flip is non-binary and prefers they/them pronouns, he has been respectfully using them. However, this doesn’t seem to be the whole story from either side because Emma and Chrishell are still at odds, hurt that there is a lack of respect and support for their romantic partners between them. In other words, no, Emma and Chrishell are not friends in any capacity as of writing.
