“Selling Sunset” star Nicole Young’s screen time on the Netflix reality show has been drastically cut back.
The real estate agent has been “put on pause” from filming Season 9, production sources told TMZ Wednesday.
Young’s time on the show “remains in limbo” after she was “abruptly” cut from filming in the middle of the upcoming season late last year.
Sources told the outlet that Young’s ongoing drama with co-star Chrishell Stause and other cast members at The Oppenheim Group contributed to the production decision.
The real estate agents reportedly attended an all-cast dinner in November 2024, which resulted in an “explosive incident” between Young and her colleagues.
According to TMZ’s insiders, Young was initially getting along with everyone at the gathering until Stause, 43, arrived with Emma Hernan.
The situation then got “heated” and drama quickly ensued while cameras were rolling.
After the intense dinner, Young filmed a one-on-one scene with the agency’s founder, Jason Oppenheim, who suggested she “take a step back” from the office, per TMZ.
She reportedly hasn’t filmed “anything” since her on-screen chat with Oppenheim.
Drama between Stause and Young ensued during Season 8 when the latter claimed that Hernan had an affair with a married man.
Ahead of the Season 8 premiere, Stause threatened to quit “Selling Sunset” due to Young’s “disgusting lie.”
“I will NEVER work on a show with her on it again. I would rather be sued,” Stause posted on her Instagram Story in August 2024.
“Disclaimer when you watch: just know she spews a disgusting lie about a bestie that is categorically FALSE and SUPER damaging. It is NOT TRUE.”
Stause even dragged show creator Adam DiVello’s company, Done and Done Productions into the fray, writing, “You are disgusting for blindsiding [Emma] with this to see with the world instead of letting her at LEAST defend herself with the TRUTH.”
Mary Bonnet — who is also a real estate agent at The Oppenheim Group — also addressed the rumor during a chat with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” in September 2024.
“Honestly, that’s not even the actual story of what she was actually told. So that makes it even more sad. It’s just a big old mess,” Bonnet, 44, said of the rumor that Young allegedly botched.
“That’s not what was said,” she further claimed of the rumor regarding Hernan and a married man.
