The drama and feuds among the cast members of Netflix’s ‘Selling Sunset’ have always been at the heart of the show’s appeal. It often overshadows the luxury listings themselves. Rivalries, shifting alliances, and tense confrontations keep audiences hooked season after season. In Season 9, the ongoing tension between Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi continued to unfold and served as one of the central plotlines. With so much unresolved history between them, their attempts to mend fences proved challenging. The friction between the two not only fueled drama but also brought attention to the deep personal divides that make the series so compelling to watch.
Bre Tiesi and Chelsea Lazkani Have Always Been at Odds With Each Other
When Bre Tiesi joined the Oppenheim Group in season 6, her arrival immediately stirred tension, particularly with Chelsea Lazkani. The two didn’t get off on the right foot, largely because Chelsea had been openly critical of Bre’s relationship with Nick Cannon, calling it unconventional and even questioning Bre’s parenting choices. At the time, Chelsea was married to Jeff Lazkani and made it clear that she didn’t approve of Bre’s lifestyle, which set the tone for their strained dynamic. From that point on, a lingering distance remained between the two women. Things escalated further in season 8 when Bre heard rumors from a friend that Jeff might be cheating on Chelsea. Unsure how to handle the situation given their uneasy relationship, Bre decided to approach Chelsea privately to share what she had heard.
Initially, Chelsea appeared appreciative and even thanked Bre for being honest during a vulnerable time. However, her attitude soon shifted and she confided in her friends Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan. Chelsea began to suspect that Bre’s intentions weren’t genuine and that she may have brought up the sensitive topic on camera to humiliate her. Bre denied these claims, maintaining that her actions came from genuine concern and not malice. By season 9, the tension between them remained unresolved. The two avoided direct confrontation but also made no effort to mend things. There was a noticeable divide between Chelsea’s friend group and Bre, with Chrishell even admitting that she had distanced herself from Bre as well. Although there were no explosive arguments this time, the awkwardness was palpable. Both women seemed to have accepted that they wouldn’t see eye to eye and settled into their own separate corners of the office drama.
Bre and Chelsea Are Comfortable in Their Respective Spaces
It is safe to say that Bre Tiesi and Chelsea Lazkani do not consider each other friends. In fact, they are not even socially connected and prefer to maintain their distance. Their relationship has remained strained both on and off camera, with neither making much effort to reconcile. In an interview, Bre made her stance clear, saying, “I’ll never be cool with Chelsea. I’ve tried that twice now, and you know, we actually had discussed everything, and I thought we were moving forward. And then, you know, this situation happens, and she takes three steps back.” Bre has repeatedly denied the allegations that she brought up the sensitive topic about Chelsea’s personal life in front of the cameras for dramatic effect.
She clarified that she had given Chelsea a heads-up before filming and even told her what was going to be discussed. According to Bre, Chelsea had given her the go-ahead, and she acted only out of friendly concern. Bre said she has always had Chelsea’s best interests in mind and never intended to embarrass or exploit her situation. Despite these explanations, the rift between them remains. Their communication has been minimal, and their interactions on the season have been noticeably distant. While they both continue to work at the Oppenheim Group, they tend to stay within their own circles, avoiding unnecessary confrontation.
Given how quickly friendships and alliances shift in the office, it’s not impossible that they could find common ground one day, but for now, neither seems interested in pursuing that path.
Both women appear content with focusing on their own careers and personal lives rather than trying to repair what’s been broken. The tension may no longer be explosive, but it’s clear that the wounds from past misunderstandings still linger. For now, Bre and Chelsea have accepted that keeping their distance is the best way to maintain peace, professionally and personally.
