"I support all humans"— Selling Sunset star Nicole Young responds to Chelsea Lazkani's claims

Selling Sunset is set to premiere season 8 later this week on Friday, September 6, 2024. Although the trailer of the upcoming season promises conflict and drama, some cast members got a jump start on the same and have been feuding online.

The recent Instagram jabs started with Chrishell Stause calling Nicole Young out and started involving other stars of the show. While supporting Stause's claims of Nicole being a "liar" Chelsea Lazkani also put out statements of her own.

In multiple Instagram stories, that have since been deleted, she called out Nicole, Mary, and Bre. In one of her stories, she wrote:

"FYI, Nicole is not the only homophobic and transphobic cast member."

While addressing Chelsea's homophobia and transphobia accusations on Instagram, Nicole wrote that she was "staunch support and 1000% pro."

"Who you love is not a choice and I support all human beings loving whomever they were born to love," Nicole added.

Chelsea also criticized Bre Tiesi and Mary Fitzgerald in her stories, dividing the season 8 cast as Chrishell, Emma, and Chelsea against Nicole, Bre, and Mary.

In recent events, multiple Selling Sunset stars have been feuding online. While it started with Chrishell Stause calling Nicole Young out on behalf of Emma Hernan, it turned into the cast member refusing to film another show with the Netflix star.

She said that she would rather get sued than work with Young again. She also urged her followers to be aware while watching the upcoming Selling Sunset season 8. Chrishell said "She spews a disgusting lie" about a "bestie" and called her statements "categorically false and super damaging."

Soon after, Chelsea Lazkani alerted fans that the "bestie" in question was Emma Hernan and criticized Nicole Young for starting a rumor about the Selling Sunset star. She added that Young wanted to start the rumor because all the rumors about her were "true." She also criticized the Selling Sunset production company, Done and Done Productions, and asked where its "moral ground and integrity" was.

In another story, Chelsea called Nicole transphobic and homophobic and claimed that she wasn't the only cast member who had such beliefs. The latter responded to Chelsea's claims online. She wrote:

"I am a staunch supporter and 1000% pro (rainbow emoji) and have voted in favor of and in protection of LGBTQIA+ equality and basic human rights for as long as I could legally vote."

Nicole had also previously retaliated to Chrishell Stause's comments. The Selling Sunset star asked Chrishell and Chelsea to "ask" their "bestie" some "tough questions" instead of "attacking" her and "accusing" her of lying.

In an Instagram story, she asked the two whether Emma told the reality stars that she was "directly confronted" on camera by "the wife's best friend." She clarified that she stated the "info" as a rumor.

Chelsea Lazkani later took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to address the fans of the show. She said that she was going to tell them the "truth about the cast" in season 8 so they would decide on "who to support." She added that most of the fans had been "blind" and apologized for not talking about the same before.

She explained she wanted to "keep the peace" to avoid being "bashed or seen as jealous." While the Selling Sunset star didn't take names, she added that she feared "no b*tch" and that she had "receipts."

"Tell them to come, I will gather them one by one with an attorney on straight facts, you can't sue me it it's true babes," she added.
