Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset‘ is as renowned for its glimpse into the glamorous Los Angeles real estate industry as it is for the interpersonal conflicts among The Oppenheim Group’s colleagues. When Nicole Young joined the team, her clashes with the iconic and fan-favorite Chrishell Stause sparked a lot of drama. The two women didn’t hold back, exchanging accusations and calling each other names. In the eighth and ninth seasons, their interactions left everyone on edge, expecting a confrontation at any moment. With Nicole’s departure from the season, a lot of people suspected that it had something to do with Chrishell.
Chrishell and Nicole’s Arguments Escalated in the Season
When Nicole Young joined the ‘Selling Sunset’ cast in its sixth season, her personality clashed instantly with Chrishell Stause’s. The two women initially butted heads over a listing, and their working relationship deteriorated. This tension was partly because Chrishell was dating Jason Oppenheim at the time, while Nicole had previously been involved with him. Chrishell soon accused her colleague of stirring up drama for more screen time, alleging that Nicole’s conflicts were fabricated. She claimed that despite their prior cordial interactions, Nicole was now just seeking attention. The situation escalated further, with Nicole asserting that Chrishell’s success was due to her relationship with Jason. In response, Chrishell accused Nicole of drug use, prompting the latter to take a drug test to clear her name.
In the eighth season, Chrishell and Nicole largely avoided each other, choosing not to spend time alone and steering clear of direct communication. The only time they did interact was when Nicole apologized to her co-star for interacting with people whom the latter had accused of being “homophobic.” Chrishell was preoccupied with supporting her friend through marital troubles and addressing the ongoing conflict between Chelsea and Bre. At the same time, Nicole focused on her work and spent downtime with other agents. The situation further separated them as Nicole kind of aligned with Bre, while Chrishell tried to balance her friendship with both.
In the ninth season, tensions escalated when Chrishell and Nicole met for a team lunch that quickly went downhill. During the conversation, Nicole made an insensitive remark about Chrishell’s parents’ struggles with substance abuse, which shocked everyone present. The comment hit Chrishell hard, as both her parents have passed away. Despite others attempting to reason with Nicole, she stood by her words. Ultimately, Jason Oppenheim intervened, calling her into his office and informing her that she would need to leave the team, as her behavior had crossed a line and disrupted team harmony.
Chrishell and Nicole Are Not Close to Each Other
Trouble had always bene brewing between Nicole and Chrishell. Upon watching the eighth season, Chrishell was struck by Nicole’s accusations about Emma allegedly having an affair with a married man. Although Nicole had dismissed the claims as mere rumors, Chrishell felt compelled to defend her best friend. She took to Instagram, accused Nicole of spreading false information, and criticized the production company for giving airtime to such baseless allegations. Chrishell even threatened to quit the show if these issues persisted and if she was forced to continue sharing screen time with Nicole.
Nicole, meanwhile, did not remain silent in response. She addressed Chrishell’s remarks by asserting that she, as a married woman, would never intentionally disrupt someone else’s relationship. Nicole also brought up Chrishell’s past, referencing the allegations that Chrishell’s ex-husband, Justin Hartley, had allegedly cheated on her with Sofia Pernas. The friendship between the two appears to have deteriorated significantly, and reconciliation seems like a distant hope at this point. With Nicole’s departure from the season, it does seem like things reached a head and there was no coming back from that. The two of them are not even socially connected and seem to be keeping their distance from each other. Nicole even mentioned that she might move to Nashville, Tennessee, but either way, the two of them will not be seen in the same room anytime soon.
Chrishell and Nicole Have Equally Fulfilling Professional and Private Lives
Both Chrishell and Nicole are juggling busy professional and personal lives. They understand that not all work relationships can be smooth. Nicole has been focusing on her work and her family, and she seems to have made new friends as well. Her husband, Brandon Young, is the Director of Music Affairs at Activision Blizzard, and they care for their three dogs together. Meanwhile, Nicole is making strides in the real estate industry, diligently working on several upcoming listings.
Similarly, Chrishell has established a fulfilling life in Los Angeles with her partner, Australian musician G Flip. She’s set to film an upcoming romantic comedy, but she remains busy with her real estate career. Both she and Nicole seem to be moving ahead in their different ways. There is a lot of history between them, and with Nicole’s exit from the series, there seems to be little reason for them to cross paths again. However, not everyone has cut off tiees with Nicole entirely. She is seen with other castmates like Mary Bonnet, but has not yet been spotted with Chrishell recently.
