Selling Sunset season 8 premiered with 11 episodes on Friday, September 6, 2024. The long-awaited series returned with the Oppenheim agents managing the highly competitive real estate market of Los Angeles, California. The stress of their professional lives, multiplied when personal feuds resurfaced, threatened their everyday routine.
One such feud was between Chrishell and Amanza's stylist. The stylist humiliated Chrishell and her partner, G Flip, for being in a same-s*x relationship. He claimed the Selling Sunset cast member was lying about her gender orientation, while G Flip was allegedly using her to get US citizenship.
When Chrishell learned the stylist was invited to Amanza's birthday party, she expressed discomfort. Amanza defended her stylist, saying she could not uninvite him since he worked for free. As a result, Chrishell refused to attend the party.
Selling Sunset fans took to X to criticize Amanza for prioritizing her stylist over Chrishell. They slammed her for defending his disrespectful comments.
"Amanza needs to wake up. She’s choosing to dress up over Chrishell? Is she for real? This stylist attacked her and G, yet Amanza refuses to let him go because he does it for free? She may not pay him but he’s gaining from this association," a fan wrote.
"Amanza girl the stylist is garbage anyway just get rid of him," another fan commented.
"Amanza really can't dress herself? Risking castmate drama for some free styling," a netizen commented.
Many Selling Sunset fans called out Amanza for not prioritizing her friendship with Chrishell.
"Sorry but my morals mean more to me than getting free help/products. Amanza is placing free makeup work over Chrishell’s friendship, & it’s showing true colors that she employs someone who makes offensive remarks like that. Disappointed," a user reacted.
"Amanza is either ditzy, indifferent, or clueless. She needs to drop her “stylist.” But she’s only keeping him bc he don’t charge her; smh broke behavior!!! Do better," one person commented.
"Lmao Amanza is really putting someone’s free work over her supposed important friendship with Chrishell," a netizen tweeted.
"Amanza openly admitting that she’s kept the stylist around cuz he’s “helping me for free”, is WILD…id drop her immediately Chrishell betta dan me," one person wrote.
Some Selling Sunset fans praised Chrishell for not backing down during the confrontation with Amanza.
"Amanza has no backbone & I love how Chrishell stood on business regarding that stylist. Chrishell is saying he’s homophobic & offers receipts, Amanza says he styles her for free. Like, girl…" one user tweeted.
"Chrishell is better than me because that beef with Amanza ? Amanza would have been my enemy for life," a person commented.
What happened between Selling Sunset star Chrishell and Amanza's stylist?
In episode 3 of the Netflix series, Amanza invited every Oppenheim agent to her 47th birthday party. Out of all, Chrishell was the only cast member who hesitated to accept the invitation. During a private conversation with Amanza, Chrishell confessed she could not be in the same room as Amanza's stylist.
Chrishell explained that the stylist "attacked" her and G Flip in a "very public rant." He accused her of allegedly faking her gender identity, stating she was "nothing but a green card to G." Chrishell, who married the Australian musician in 2023, added that the stylist was angered because she corrected him on one occasion by stating he was her stylist.
Amanza struggled to believe Chrishell since her stylist was also "gay." Chrishell said it did not excuse any of those comments. Instead, it made it worse. Even after the Selling Sunset cast member declined Amanza's birthday invitation, the latter insisted on seeing the receipts.
She defended her stylist by adding that he was not the only person to make the remarks. However, Chrishell refused to believe it. Amanza revealed she could not uninvite him from the party since he worked for her for free. The statement bothered Chrishell, who stood firm on her decision not to attend the party.
Chrishell arrived at the event to celebrate Amanza's 47th birthday after Amanza uninvited her stylist.
Selling Sunset season 8 is available to stream only on Netflix.
