The drama on Selling Sunset has reached a new peak. A festive “Girlsgiving” dinner meant for gratitude quickly turned into one of the show’s most intense arguments, leaving cast relationships in tatters and one agent’s job in jeopardy. The conflict, centered on Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young, took a deeply personal turn that shocked the entire Oppenheim Group.
The Girlsgiving Dinner That Shattered the Group
The second episode of Selling Sunset Season 9, which began streaming on October 29, 2025, features a Thanksgiving-style gathering hosted by agent Amanza Smith. She brought the women of The Oppenheim Group together for a dinner she hoped would be peaceful. Amanza had even stated her desire for everyone to “just be f*cking thankful.” However, with simmering tensions already existing between the agents, the event was destined for drama.
The trouble began during a game where everyone was sharing what they were thankful for. A conversation about ongoing friction quickly escalated into a heated exchange between Chrishell and Nicole. As voices rose, Amanza tried to intervene and calm Nicole down, at one point telling her, “Just don’t talk, or leave…This is my dinner. Shut the f*ck up.” Despite her attempts, the situation spiraled out of control.
The Unforgivable Comment About Chrishell’s Parents
The argument reached its breaking point when Nicole made a shocking and personal remark directed at Chrishell. During the clash, Nicole said, “Honey, you are confusing me with your parents.” This comment was a clear reference to Chrishell’s past discussions about her deceased parents and their struggles with addiction.
The effect on the dinner was immediate. The table fell into a stunned silence before erupting into further chaos. Other cast members were visibly appalled, with some demanding that Nicole be removed from the dinner entirely. The low blow transformed the evening from a simple argument into a deeply personal conflict.
Fallout and Firings
The consequences of the dinner were severe and professional. Following the explosive event, bosses Jason and Brett Oppenheim apparently ousted Nicole from her job at the brokerage. While Nicole has since claimed in an interview that she was never formally fired and that “not coming into the office… wasn’t a huge deal,” the incident certainly reshaped the workplace dynamics.
In a recent interview, Chrishell Stause reacted to the moment, stating she was “a little stunned by it.” She explained, “I can’t think of a situation in which that would be OK unless it’s coming from a friendship point of view.” She acknowledged the difficulty of the moment, adding, “In the moment, it is hard because these are my parents.”
A Cast Divided On and Off Screen
The rifts from the Girlsgiving dinner have extended far beyond the show. In a recent real-life event, the cast’s divisions were made crystal clear. A Season 9 premiere party was organized by co-star Bre Tiesi at Gravitas in Beverly Hills. Notably, Chrishell Stause and Chelsea Lazkani were not invited. Sources familiar with the event stated that organizers wanted to “highlight a great season” and maintain a positive atmosphere, believing that inviting Chrishell and Chelsea would cause discomfort due to their ongoing drama with Bre, Emma Hernan, and Mary Bonnet.
This follows a pattern of fractured social gatherings. Sources indicate that Bre had previously invited Chrishell and Chelsea to a Galentine’s Day party, but both chose not to attend. This time, however, the choice was made for them. Representatives for Chrishell confirmed she was not invited to the recent party but also stressed she was in New York and would not have attended regardless. Nicole Young was also absent from the party, though sources say she was invited and had a scheduling conflict.
Where the Relationships Stand Now
The aftermath of Season 9 has left the Oppenheim Group agents more divided than ever.
- Chrishell and Nicole: Their feud seems to be beyond repair, compounded by Nicole’s comment and her subsequent departure from the office.
- Amanza and Nicole: Amanza has revealed that her friendship with Nicole is now shaky. She sent Nicole a voice memo trying to “squash this” but never received a reply.
- Amanza and Chrishell: In a surprising turn, Amanza has also indicated she is now in a “little bit of a scramble” with Chrishell following the Season 9 reunion, suggesting the fallout from the dinner continues to evolve.
The intense drama from the Girlsgiving dinner sets the stage for an explosive season of Selling Sunset, proving that in this high-stakes world of luxury real estate, the most costly battles are not over properties, but between the agents themselves.
