Christine Quinn Says 'Selling Sunset' Cast Is Diluted
Quinn previously announced her move from "Selling Sunset" to a crypto-based brokerage company, RealOpen, which she co-owns with Christian Dumontet, her husband. According to the reality star, she still kept in touch with a number of the show's cast members, such as Maya Vander and Chelsea Lazkani; however, she had low expectations for "Selling Sunset" upcoming seasons.
While talking to E! News, the 33-year-old said that the new season of the show would "bomb" and that the new cast members added over the years would "dilute" the original composition of the reality series. Quinn said, "I think that people tune in to see the original characters that were a part of the show, and that was the five girls from season one."
The reality star continued, "Throughout the seasons, they started adding and adding and adding, and by that, it dilutes the recipe. Now they have the sauce, but the recipe is not the same, you know?" She compared the situation to being offered a low-standard meal and the "Sex and the City" remake, where Samantha Jokes (Kim Cattrall) was noticeably absent.
Christine Quinn 'Checked Out' Of 'Selling Sunset'
Quinn's departure from "Selling Sunset" was announced on April 17; however, the 33-year-old had already separated herself from the show. At the time, she announced her new company with her husband and claimed her departure was a "natural progression" in the business.
She said, "I think that it was something that had been in the works for so long. You know, my husband and I have been working on RealOpen for so long, you know? It was a year and a half in the making. So in my mind, I was already checked out."
In an interview with People, Quinn further revealed that she had terminated her contract with the show when her brokerage launched. She said, "I terminated my contract when the brokerage launched. I had to make a business decision that was for me, so I had to terminate the contract so I could move it over to my brokerage."
The Realtor Was Accused Of Bribing A Client
Before her departure, Quinn was accused by Emma Hernan, her co-star, and fellow realtor, of offering $5,000 to a client to stop working with her. The 33-year-old was also noticeably absent from the season five finale, where the issue was discussed.
At the time, Quinn claimed she was down with COVID-19 and couldn't attend. Three days after claiming the illness, the reality star was spotted shooting a commercial. Her co-star also claimed that the stars were tested for the virus previously, and Quinn had produced negative results then.
According to the announcement of her departure, the decision to leave the show was mutual despite Quinn being a part of the show since the first season. Season six and seven of "Selling Sunset" is currently underway and will see new cast members make up for the departed.
Christine Quinn Denied Bribery Claims
After the accusations were leveled against her, Quinn denied them and claimed that the statements had "no truth" to them. She said, "I don't know why Emma is once again trying to make me look bad and stir the pot, and makeup lies about me."
In May, the reality star told People, "Accusing someone of a criminal tort is not only defamatory — but you can't afford my lawyers. So it's not a funny thing to say. I would never bribe a client. I've never bribed a client. I don't need to bribe a client because they'll work with me organically."
While talking about the show, which premiered late last month, Quinn revealed that she had no intention of watching it. According to the 33-year-old, she did not want the "falsified version of events" to alter her perception of what truly happened.
