Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn’s Shady Quotes About the Series

Drama, drama, drama! Christine Quinn is out here spilling the tea on Selling Sunset, and she doesn’t care who hears it.

Following a tumultuous story line on the show’s fifth season, which premiered in April 2022, Life & Style confirmed that Christine left the Oppenheim Group brokerage firm. “It was Christine’s decision to leave the Oppenheim Group,” a source shared at the time. However, that didn’t mean her time on the reality show was over.

“I love the show,” the Netflix star told Us Weekly in May 2022. “The show is, like, my No. 1 [and] everyone knows that. But we just have to get creative now because I don’t work for the Oppenheim Group. … Maybe it’s a battle of the brokerages.”

Christine added, “I’m not going anywhere. Like, I’ll always be on television. I’m not going anywhere. It’s just, like, let’s have fun with this now.”

Despite her love for Selling Sunset, Christine has slammed the series a few times over the years. In her book, How to Be a Boss B*tch: Stop Apologizing For Who You Are and Get the Life You Want, the reality star claimed that one portion of the show was “fake.” Christine wrote that her fight with Heather Rae El Moussa about being unable to get into one of the brokerage’s listings was “totally fabricated.”

“There’s a film crew of seventy people filming inside — do you think that no one has access to the front door? I could have made a fuss about how it would make me look unprofessional, but I went with it because I thought it was funny and I’m a good sport,” she claimed. “Then, Heather and I had to get into this fake fight — which I thought we did a really good job of doing.”

However, she knew it would be believable to viewers. Christine added, “I know that I’m f–king amazing at what I do.”

She’s also claimed the bribery story line was created just for the show. During season 5, costar Emma Hernan alleged that Christine offered one of her clients $5,000 to work with her. In a Twitter post ahead of the season premiere, Christine told fans to “enjoy the new season and all of its 5,000 fake story lines” seemingly referring to her and Emma’s drama.

“Bless their hearts for trying [to make it a big deal],” Christine told Us Weekly about the situation during a separate May 2022 interview. “But no, that absolutely did not happen. … I watched the show, and I was shocked. I was completely shocked.”

Getting Fired

In her book, Christine claimed that after “pointing out in interviews all the things that were totally fake,” she was “fired (and then rehired) by the production company.”

The Netflix star wrote, “There was dirt to be shared and these big glossy lips of mine weren’t about to keep any secrets — I didn’t sign a f–king NDA!” She went on to say that the cast eventually signed one.

The Drama Around Her Departure Was Fabricated

“When we were filming season 5, my husband and I had been working on a company for a year and a half now, called Real Open. I told production going into it, I said ‘Listen, I’m leaving the Oppenheim Group, you guys know that, so let’s get creative with the storylines and let me talk about my own brokerage,’” she explained on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in May 2022. “To which, they completely edited out because that’s not a convenient storyline, that’s not fun.”

Christine added, “Insert fake bribery storyline. This scene of me in the office supposed to show up, that didn’t happen. I had no idea that was going on, until people sent me clips and I was horrified.”

Allegations Against the Creator

“There’s been complaints filed against him — multiple complaints … and it’s been sick,” Christine alleged on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast about Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello. “He actually told me to go fall on the stairs and kill myself at one point.”

She claimed that their issues stemmed from her being “too honest” about the show. “That wasn’t the first complaint I filed against him. There was another complaint — where he to this day cannot actually step foot on set with any of the women in the office because of misconduct,” Christine also said. “It was extremely terrifying when, you know, I mean, he’s screaming in my face. It was horrifying.”

Adam, for his part, never publicly reacted to Christine’s claims.

Reconciling with Heather?

“If there’s anyone I want to reach out to it’s Heather,” Christine said on “Call Her Daddy” about their past friendship. “But the problem is she’s like a Chick-fil-A waffle fry, you know, she waffles around, she listens to what other people say. … She did an interview and she’s like, ‘I wish Christine would have come to the reunion so we could have hashed that out.’ I’m like, ‘Honey, I have a phone. I have eight phones, actually. Call me on one of my lines!'”

Shade About the Show

On “Call Her Daddy,” Christine said that on season 3, she “realized I can’t win.” She claimed, “I was actually talking about Mary in a scene, and I watched my mouth say Amanza. And I didn’t say Amanza’s name.”

“And that’s when I was like, ‘What Wizard of Oz s—t am I up against?’” Christine shared on the podcast. “Even the office scene when Mary got promoted — that was the best day we ever had together. We were so excited. We had so much fun. And it didn’t happen that way on camera. We were all hugging each other and like, ‘Oh, my God, Mary, I’m so happy for you.’ We’re all getting along. It was great. But the producers told me to keep walking out of the office. I walked out of the office probably 16 times and they were like, ‘No smile. No wave. No smile. No wave.’ But like, we’re prisoners, right? We can’t leave until, like, they get what they want.”
