Netflix may have just dropped Season 6 of Selling Sunset but according to a new interview with Chelsea Lazkani, she still isn’t friends with newbie and sometimes-nemesis Bre Tiesi despite filming on Season 7 already having wrapped.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Chelsea Lazkani responds to Bre’s claims that she fabricated a story about Bre finding out about Nick Cannon and LaNisha Cole’s pregnancy via the media in an off-camera night out.
“I do not lie,” she told the outlet matter of factly. “I said things that could have hurt somebody by disclosing what I saw and what I heard,” she notes. “I didn’t accurately represent it? … I don’t know how to lie. There are things that I concealed that I will never share, but I don’t want to go back and say, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is actually everything…’ No, but I don’t lie.”
“Coming into the season, I was very aware of who Bre was, and I already had some of my own opinions,” Chelsea explained to ET. “Negative or positive, it doesn’t matter. We all are human and we all embody opinions on everything, and everybody, quite frankly — whether you voice them or not — is different. So, I chose to voice them, because I realized that not only am I obviously creating a TV show, but this is how I feel.”
“It was only when I took a step back when I realized I was hurting somebody’s feelings,” continued Chelsea. “I went from the standpoint of, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re doing a show. Everyone’s talking about it anyway. Like, I see it everywhere. So, I’m just gonna say what I feel…’ But no, this is a person with true feelings and you could hurt that person, because the difference between the online trolls and myself is I’m right in front of your face.”
Selling Sunset Season 7
The Selling Sunset star revealed that despite filming on Season 7 already having wrapped, the two have not found their way to each other as friends.
“I think she wants to kill me, and I want to stay alive for a very long time,” joked Chelsea. “So, you know, I just think I’ll keep my distance from her.”
When asked why she would joke like that, Chelsea revealed that it is something Bre has been saying behind her back.
“I mean, I get it, she doesn’t like me,” she explained, adding, “and some of the things I said were very hurtful. So, I completely acknowledge that, and I think I’m just trying to take a step back, mind my business — stop being a nosy b***h — and realize that, you know, everything is what it seems. And you know, she says she’s very happy, so just take it and move on with that. Like, if someone’s happy, they’re happy. Like, what’s the big deal?”
Bre calls Chelsea a liar
In an interview with ET last week, Bre said that Chelsea is lying about what happened on that now infamous night out.
“I’m never going to divulge information to anyone, that’s that woman’s right to be able to say that this happened or didn’t happen,” Bre told the outlet, adding that she kept her reaction neutral in the moment as to avoid “inserting herself into the narrative.”
“So, when someone asked me about it? ‘I don’t know,'” Bre says. “I don’t. It’s not my place. So, I think that my lack of reaction or confirmation is what she ran with, and it became a completely different thing that helped her narrative and I applaud her for her storyline, but that’s not actually accurate in my reality.”
As previously reported, Selling Sunset was renewed for Season 6 and Season 7 at the same time, with Season 7 expected to drop later this winter. In a recent interview, Heather Rae El Moussa revealed that she had not been asked back to film the new season despite Season 6 being days away from dropping.
In addition to Chelsea and Bre, Selling Sunset stars Chrishell Stause, Heather Rae El Moussa, Amanza Smith, Jason Oppenheim, Mary Fitzgerald, Brett Oppenheim, Nicole Young, Emma Hernan, and Davina Potratz.
Seasons 1 – 7 of Selling Sunset are now streaming on Netflix.
