Heather Rae El Moussa only focuses on whatever brings her happiness.

For the 35-year-old's bliss, one doesn't have to look too far before you can find it —especially if you step outside the "Selling Sunset" drama she is in with her fellow cast member Chelsea Lazkani. Anyone that pays close attention can find it in the arms of her husband, Tarek El Moussa, her stepchildren, Taylor and Brayden, and more importantly, her newborn Tristan. 

Amid the drama on the internet regarding Heather 'stirring the pot' in the Netflix series, she sends out a cryptic message alongside an adorable image of herself and her infant son.

Heather Rae El Moussa Is Choosing To Highlight Her Happiness Amidst 'Selling Sunset' Feud

The 2010 Playboy Playmate of the Month shared a photo of herself and Tristan on her Instagram Story to her three million followers on May 22 and wrote, "My happiness ? And in the end, this is all that matters." It's unclear if the mom of one just finished breastfeeding her son, but she held him close to her chest, resting his head on a white material over her shoulders.

In the snap, Heather wore nothing to cover her chest but had a gray outfit on her derrière, and the little one she was cuddling was wrapped in a black-and-white blankie while wearing a greenish outfit. The picture also saw the reality TV star with her fresh face without any makeup and her blonde hair styled into a low ponytail.

Leading the way back to the online rivalry between the "Selling Sunset" castmates, the former model is being dragged all over Twitter and Instagram for majorly provoking the feud between Bre Tiesi and Lazkani during the new season.

To defend herself, the "Love in the Time of Monsters" actress reacted to a fan's comment on one of her Instagram posts, who articulated that "going to someone and saying 'well so and so said this,' even if it is facts and 100% true, is not helpful and does stir drama." 

In response, she told the commenter that Bre is a "very close friend, and if I felt she was upset like Chelsea said, then I would call my friend and check on her and see how she is. I wasn't stirring anything; I was checking on my friend. Chelsea should not have brought up a private moment between her and Bre. That's why Bre was upset."

At this point in the back-and-forth, the British-Nigerian realtor hopped into the comments to affirm that Heather was stirring the pot. She claimed the realtor was orchestrating the whole plan to get a response from her and "run back and gossip."

The later part of her message accused Heather of saying some not-so-nice things behind Bre's back. She claimed, "Let me remind you, you also made claims about Bre at your intimate birthday dinner (not filmed), a dinner that I was invited to and Bre was not. Should we go there?" After that, she posted the entire conversation to her Stories with the simple note "Play elsewhere."

Heather Rae El Moussa Chose This Way To Respond To Backlash Over Private Jet Photo

The Netflix star rarely gets down and dirty with online bashers, as she prefers to rise above the hate. In another event detailed by The Blast, the new mother faced backlash after she shared a snapshot of her loved ones flying private. However, instead of responding to bashing comments, she revealed what she was doing amid all that negativity.

The fresh-faced beauty uploaded a picture to her Instagram story of herself walking with her baby,  who wore a blue-knitted long-sleeved hoodie, in a white carrier. "The Internship" actress donned a brown hoodie, a black visor, and sunglasses. Across the heartwarming image, she expressed, "Protecting our energy ?." 

The following slide showed her giving back to the community through the non-profit "Baby2Baby," which provides essential needs to mothers with children. At the top of the image, the actress sends a direct message to naysayers, stating what they should spend their time doing. She remarked, "The world needs much more of this ? and less hate & negativity."
