Like the rest of us, Chrissy Teigen has been binge-watching Selling Sunset on Netflix. For the few of you out there who haven't hit play on Selling Sunset yet, the reality show follows realtors from the Los Angeles based The Oppenheim group as they try to sell luxurious, expensive properties to their affluent clients. While the show presents the cast as "elite real estate brokers," Teigen still has some doubts.
In a series of tweets shared on Tuesday (August 18), Teigen shared her opinion of the show with her followers. "I just watched all of Selling Sunset after watching everyone talk about it for so long! I don’t even think anyone on it is as mean or insane as you guys said? Maybe I’m just so used to it because I live here? This is pretty normal lol some are actually really nice," she wrote. "Maybe I also know everyone on tv plays up a character. They’re all doing that. You guys are ... super mad at people who are in on the joke."
Teigen then shared that, despite living and owning property in Los Angeles, she's never encountered the realtors from The Oppenheim Group, which makes her doubt the casts' legitimacy as realtors. "I will say, I look at LA real estate a lot and have never seen any of these people lol either have our agents, who I have obsessively asked," Teigen wrote.

A few days after Teigen's tweets about Selling Sunset were posted, multiple people from the cast responded to her supposed diss. “I know she was looking in West Hollywood and recently purchased a property down the street from an Oppenheim Group listing,” Mary Vander told Us Weekly. “If she’s looking for a home in Miami anytime soon, she can always shoot me an email. Super excited she loves the show!”
Davina Potratz. often portrayed as the villain of Selling Sunset, told Us Weekly that "it’s refreshing to have somebody with a platform like Chrissy Teigen acknowledge we’re real people with real livesdespite being on TV. So cool to see she’s watching our show!”
Followng in Teigen's footsteps, Chrishell Stause responded to the Cravings author's comments on social media. Stause told her fans she just acquired a new listing on her Instagram Stories. “Staging starts tomorrow, hits the market Monday. I’m really a real realtor — LOL!” she wrote.
Heather Rae Young told Access Hollywood she didn't "know where "Teigen's] been hiding under a rock" to have not heard of them. "We all are very active real estate agents and we are very, very busy at the moment," she said.
