All the Selling Sunset cast who've spoken out about not returning

If you’ve been keeping up with The Oppenheim Group’s most dramatic listings, you know season nine of Selling Sunset brought big deals, bigger energy, and several cast members dropping major hints they’re done with the glam-real-estate-meets-choreographed-drama life.

Some are stepping away by choice, some by circumstance, and some seemingly both. Let’s take a look at the agents who’ve spoken out about returning (or definitely not returning) and what they actually said…

Chrishell Stause

Chrishell pulled no punches. In an interview with Variety, she said the season nine reunion was “so brutal” that she realised she’d be done with the show going forward:

“In that moment, I realised I will be done here going forward…. I don’t know when they will start filming… I hope they never tell me…”

She referenced the emotional toll, unresolved drama with co-stars (notably Nicole Young) and feeling that the environment no longer aligns with her, per The Tab.

So while there’s no official press release saying ‘Chrishell’s out’, her words leave little doubt she’s ready to say goodbye to the curve-ball world of Sunset listings.

Nicole Young

Nicole’s position is… complicated. She hasn’t flat-out declared “I’m done,” the same way Chrishell has, but in an interview with Tudum, she stated: “My new priority will be Nashville, but it definitely won’t be goodbye to LA real estate…”

She also told Marie Claire: “I kind of think the show has run its course… I think at certain times, it’s gotten a bit dark… When the show seems like it’s just all dark, that’s kind of when I think we need to wrap it up, you know? And I think we’re at that point.”

All of that, plus the fact that she was asked to leave the office in season nine after major friction, and the outlook is that her return is questionable. But the words “…it definitely won’t be goodbye to LA real estate…” say a lot. We reckon she’ll be back.

Heather Rae El Moussa

Though she left earlier than season nine, Heather makes the list because she has openly described her exit from the show as a blessing. Plus, she pops back in season nine for a moment. Speaking about not returning after maternity leave, she told The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast:

“It was a blessing that I wasn’t asked to come back because I’m so much happier filming my show with Tarek.”

She also called the environment “very toxic” and said she often came home crying from the stress of filming.

Chelsea Lazkani

Chelsea hasn’t officially announced she’s leaving Selling Sunset, but in the past, she’s stated reasons she wouldn’t return in the past.

And, major on-screen feuds strongly suggest her future could very much be in question.

Previously she declared on X: “Made it clear and putting it in writing, if racist Amanda Lynn is on the show as a cast member. I’m out,” per Capital FM.

She then appeared in season nine, but now people are unsure if she’ll be back for season 10.

Adding fuel to the speculation, she and Chrishell Stause were not invited to the season nine launch party.

Host Bre Tiesi, “wanted to highlight a great season” and excluded Chelsea (and Chrishell) due to “some drama brewing between them and Bre, Emma Hernan and Mary Bonnet,” per The Tab.

Then there’s the conflict with Mary Fitzgerald. Because Mary has been a long-standing fixture of the show, some people think production may favour her side of the dispute. That has led to speculation that Chelsea might not come back, especially if the cast and producers decide they don’t want her energy on set.

In short, while she hasn’t declared she’s leaving, some signs point toward her not returning for season 10 unless things change dramatically.
