The Gist:
- Selling Sunset stars Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi are not on good terms.
- They started feuding in Season 6 after Chelsea shared her opinion on Bre's unconventional relationship with Nick Cannon.
- In Season 7, Chelsea makes fast friends with Cassandra Repstad and together they bond over their dislike of Bre.
Netflix’s Selling Sunset, now in its seventh season, never fails to deliver the drama. And ever since Bre Tiesi joined the Oppenheim Group in Season 6, she has made clear that she’s not about to put up with anything — or anyone — she doesn’t like.
Most of Bre’s coworkers at The Oppenheim Group don't have an issue with her. However, fellow real estate agent Chelsea Lazkani soon finds herself at the receiving end of Bre’s fury. The feud that develops between the two of them gets personal — and we couldn't help but get sucked in ourselves. Let's review all the madness that has gone down between Chelsea and Bre during Selling Sunset.
‘Selling Sunset’ Stars Bre Tiesi and Chelsea Lazkani’s feud explained:
As with most of the feuds on Selling Sunset, Bre’s and Chelsea’s starts out related to work but quickly devolves into the personal, particularly when it comes to Bre’s relationship with Nick Cannon. Here’s a quick recap of the feud as it develops over the course of the season.
Chelsea invites Bre’s former coworkers to a broker’s open.
In the very first episode of Season 6, Chelsea invites her friends Savanna and Alexanne to Emma’s broker’s open (despite the fact that neither of them is a real estate agent). Bre goes to say hello to them and then realizes that she actually knows them — they worked together back in the day as professional models. Bre also says that they did not get along, so she wonders whether Chelsea was purposely trying to make her uncomfortable.
Bre calls Chelsea out on this during a couch meeting at work, but Chelsea denies having any ulterior motive. However, she later discloses that her friend claims Bre isn’t even an actual real estate agent.
Chelsea calls Nick Cannon a “master manipulator” behind Bre’s back.
Things escalate beyond work when Chelsea speaks to the other Oppenheim Group agents behind Bre’s back. First, she shares that Nick Cannon has had another baby (we know, old news at this point, but Bre was apparently unaware of this particular baby at the time, and she was upset by the news).
Chelsea goes on to share how she really feels about Bre’s situation with Nick. “I think the proliferation of kids and creating multiple broken homes is disgusting,” she says. “There’s no amount of time in the day that would allow Nick to see those 10-plus babies and give them the love and dedication they need.” Chelsea calls Nick a “master manipulator” and says that Bre is being “bamboozled.”
Chelsea also says, “Ultimately, the way I live my life is very different to her as a Christian, so I don’t know if we will ever be super super close friends.”
Once Bre eventually hears about this (thanks to Heather filling her in), she goes into mama bear mode and confronts Chelsea, saying it’s unacceptable for her to be sharing her opinions about Bre’s personal life.
Chelsea reveals that her own relationship with her parents might affect how she feels about Bre.
While hanging out with Emma, Chelsea shares some personal information about her own childhood which she admits may be affecting how she sees Bre. Chelsea says that her own mother moved to the U.S. for a job opportunity with her brother and sister while Chelsea stayed in the U.K. with her father. Because of this separation, Chelsea says she often felt abandoned and therefore empathizes with Nick Cannon’s many children, whom she feels won’t all get adequate attention from him.
Chelsea decides to apologize to Bre, but Bre doesn't find it genuine.
The drama from Season 6 over Bre’s untraditional relationship with Nick Cannon continues during Season 7. Chelsea apologizes to Bre for judging her untraditional relationship with Nick, but Bre doesn’t think it was a genuine apology.
She tells this to co-star Chrishell Stause, who mentions this to Chelsea. This seemingly makes Chelsea dislike Bre more for not thinking her apology was legit.
Chelsea becomes friends with Cassandra Repstad, who Bre does not like.
Bre is further ticked off when Chelsea becomes friends with Cassandra Repstad, whom the O Group agents met in Cabo. Cassandra is also in real estate in the Los Angeles area and similar to Chelsea, does not like Bre's assertive attitude.
Chelsea even introduces Cassandra to Jason and tries to get him to recruit her to the O Group. Bre feels that Chelsea is only hanging out with Cassandra because she wants to form an alliance with someone else who will talk smack with her about Bre’s situation.
At the O Group's office's opening party, Chelsea and Cassandra approach Bre about her offputting attitude. Chelsea tells Bre that she needs to stop being "super guarded" and be more like her and Cassandra, who when they meet new people, "go in with kindness right off the bat."
Chelsea and Cassandra continue to comment on Bre's personality, which they believe she needs to work on.
Bre argues that she doesn't have to act like anyone else but herself. She then storms out of the party cursing out the show and the Oppenheim Group office. Season 7 ends there and it seems like Chelsea and Bre couldn't be farther away from becoming friends.
