For the first time, Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani’s ex-husband, Jeff Lazkani<\/a>, is speaking out about the drama that played out on-screen regarding his marriage.<\/p>\n

It was an alleged “kiss” that got splashed across season eight and was framed as the reason Chelsea and Jeff Lazkani split. But Jeff has now pushed back.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Reality Shrine, he explained he “felt compelled” to share his truth. Now, Jeff has delved into the reality behind the hotel lobby kiss drama.<\/p>\n

During Selling Sunset season eight, Bre Tiesi<\/a> tells Chelsea that a friend saw Jeff “making out” with another woman in a hotel lobby.<\/p>\n

It was a scene that was edited into the season and framed as a catalyst for Jeff and Chelsea\u2019s relationship breakdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his statement to Reality Shrine, Jeff basically says the whole thing wasn\u2019t what it looked like on TV.<\/p>\n

He insisted the text messages and random second-hand details were totally misleading, and that producers massaged it all into a tidy little storyline. And honestly? It tracks… plenty of reality stars have said the same thing about how editing can turn the tiniest rumour into a full-on plot twist.<\/p>\n

Jeff told us: “Season eight of Selling Sunset was a stream based on the foundation of a misleading text from a total stranger about an ‘alleged’ accusation of me ‘making out’ with another woman at a hotel in December of 2023.<\/p>\n

“This turned into a blown-up scheme that mislead millions of viewers, and the press to make up cheating stories and painted me as the villain, everything a good story line needs.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s just say that my marriage with Chelsea ended long before any of the allegations came to a reality TV show, for our own personal reasons.<\/p>\n

“Good marriages sometimes turn, and it was unfortunate. We both tried to make it work, but our love story came to an end.<\/p>\n

“Chelsea and I do not hate each other, and I will always be connected to her because we share what matters most, the two wonderful humans that we created together.”<\/p>\n
