What Happened at the Selling Sunset Launch Party
Netflix didn’t host an official premiere for Selling Sunset Season 9. Bre Tiesi created her own event. She handpicked cast members to keep things positive. Sources told TMZ that Bre deliberately excluded anyone with brewing tension. That meant Chelsea and Chrishell wouldn’t get invites. The party emphasizes how messy this cast truly is.
“Bre wanted things to stay positive. She didn’t want anything bad popping off.”

Event organizers felt excluding them was best. Chelsea and Chrishell had drama brewing with Bre, Emma Hernan, and Mary Bonnet. So the final guest list became super selective. Only allies of Bre got seats. The whole situation screams dysfunction at The Oppenheim Group.
Why This Snub Sparked Massive Outrage Online
Fans were furious about the blatant exclusion. This isn’t a casual disagreement anymore. It’s full-blown workplace tension playing out publicly. Selling Sunset thrives on glamorous real estate drama. But this feels different. Chelsea and Chrishell are legitimate cast members, not random guests.
Chelsea joined in Season 5 and has been a core cast member ever since. Chrishell Stause was there from the beginning. Excluding them from a launch party sends a clear message. Bre wants these women sidelined. The snub looks way more hostile than a scheduling conflict. It’s a calculated power move.
Viewers pointed out the hypocrisy too. Netflix profits from the drama between cast members. But when real tension threatens an event’s vibe, people get cut? That’s selective accountability. Fans argue Bre is using her position to rewrite the narrative. Season 9 shows their conflict. Yet somehow Chelsea and Chrishell get erased from the celebration.
The Feud Between Chelsea and Bre Runs Deep
Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi started feuding back in Season 6 (2023). Chelsea criticized Bre’s open relationship with Nick Cannon. That judgment escalated quickly. By Season 8, Bre brought up rumors about Chelsea’s husband. The betrayal has never recovered.
This season doesn’t ease the tension either. Mary Bonnet also clashed with Chelsea over various incidents. Emma Hernan faced her own drama with Chrishell. So Bre had legitimate reasons to worry about chaos. But excluding them entirely feels excessive. It breaks basic professionalism.
| Cast Relationship Status | Current Dynamic | Party Attendance |
|---|---|---|
| Chelsea vs Bre | Ongoing feud since Season 6 (2023) | ❌ Not invited |
| Chrishell vs Emma | Friendship ended Season 9 | ❌ Not invited |
| Chelsea vs Mary | Not on speaking terms | ❌ Not invited |
| Emma Hernan | Allied with Bre and Mary | ✅ Attended |
| Sandra Vergara | New cast member, no conflict | ✅ Attended |
The party guest list tells everything. Bre, Mary, Emma, Amanza Smith, and newcomer Sandra Vergara showed up. Two of the show’s most central players got excluded. That’s extreme. Nicole Young was invited but skipped it anyway. She’s dealing with her own aftermath after getting fired.
What’s Next for the Selling Sunset Cast
The tension won’t disappear anytime soon. Season 9 is already live on Netflix. Viewers will see all the conflicts play out. The launch party snub will probably become a talking point. Reunion episodes could get messy. Chelsea and Chrishell will likely address getting excluded.
- Reunion filming may happen in coming months for official cast discussion
- Fans expect Twitter drama as cast members defend their positions
- Bre may face backlash for the exclusionary move on social media
- Production decisions loom about Season 10 casting and workplace dynamics
- Cast members may issue statements addressing the party situation publicly
The Oppenheim Group office dynamics are beyond repair at this point. Jason and Brett haven’t issued statements about the chaos. That silence speaks volumes. How long can the show continue with this level of dysfunction? The brand is built on luxury and success. But what viewers see now is petty workplace politics.
Is This Drama Getting Out of Control?
At what point does Selling Sunset lose its appeal? The show promises glamor and high-stakes real estate. Instead, it’s become a soap opera of exclusions and vendettas. Fans tuned in for listings and commissions. Now they’re watching cast members cancel each other. That shift feels exhausting.
Chelsea’s feeling is valid too. She’s been excluded from her own show’s premiere. That’s brutal. The Oppenheim Group is her workplace. Getting locked out of a work event signifies something serious. Whether Bre was right or wrong, the public snub damages everyone. The show’s credibility takes a hit when this becomes the headline instead of the actual work.
Will Netflix continue funding this drama? Probably. Reality TV thrives on conflict. But there’s a line between entertaining tension and toxic dysfunction. This snub might cross it. Viewers might tune out if the show becomes unwatchable office conflict minus the actual real estate drama. Only time will tell if Selling Sunset can recover its brand after this moment.
