The following podcast is a dear media production. This is Not Skinny but Not Fat and I'm your host, Amanda, bringing you the latest in all celebrity gossip, reality TV recaps and anything happening in Hollywood right now that I just can't keep my mouth shut about. This is Not Skinny but Not Fat. I'm so excited for my guest today, Christine Quinn from selling Sunset. Thank you so much for joining. You look gorgeous. And your hair is your signature. So I got to be down.

Ponies. I have clip and extensions in those as well. Because you do crazy shit to your hair on the show. I mean, someone does crazy shit to my hair. Yeah, I was going to say, because like crazy shit, like when you have those crazy braids in with like things. But so, so you have to, you say. sit in like hair and makeup before you film?

Yeah, so basically, I mean, I pick the days that I want to glam because obviously it's expensive and it's also a time suck. You know, I'm talking about like two and a half hours and that's a lot of time out of my day considering I work full time. So on, you know, I do my own makeup for the most part, but my hair I can't do. So on the days that I choose hair, I'll do something really fun. But you usually take care of your own hair, but you mean like when you want it to be like, wow chika wow yeah i can do like curls and you know regular stuff like that but i can't do like

the updews and the crazy stuff so we were just talking before we started how busy you are because legit if you like google you right now it's like a gazillion articles yeah like you've because you've been like doing so much press so you're like talking and people are writing about it i would say i have like three jobs because well actually kind of four i have you know i'm a real estate full time. We just got finished filming the show. I'm doing press and publicity for the show in addition to starting my own company working full time on that. So, wait, what's the own company? I'm not quite there yet to like talk about it. And it's not because I'm trying to be exclusive or anything. It's just because I really, really don't know. But I kind of wanted to just start a lifestyle

brand. I don't really know exactly what direction I'm taking it in. But it's just going to be a fun place for people to go in a community of people who are just like-minded, diverse, inclusive individuals who just want like a safe space, you know, like creatives and, you know, people that just don't want to be judged. And I kind of started the idea because, you know, I was always labeled. I really, really don't believe in labels. There's no such thing as labels. And I hate when people label other people. Everyone was like, you know, you're the bitch. You're such a bitch. you're so bitchy and I it got so frustrating because I people label people especially they don't know so I was like you know what though but that's not a bad thing like if anything like I people

call me the villain all the time like yeah I am and I love it and I have fun with it and I run with it and so I kind of just wanted to embrace these labels in everyday life and roll with it so that's kind of where I met but Christine that is super vague because I'm like okay love the concept but is it is it Courtney push is it starting with the blog basically so that's you know that's like going to be my main content and then I'm trying to figure out do I want to have curated content do I want to you know make my own brand these are things that I'm still figuring out as I go okay cool so I was sort of like with the push thing I was I was near it I was near the area okay yeah but I was going to tell you because when you were talking about being a bitch

I was going through my selling sunset like highlights from when I watched the show and the first time we saw you on screen I like I screen grabbed it and whatever and I was like I think she's supposed to be the B but I like her like that's what I wrote because you're right like there is something that comes off as if

because A there's something intimidating about you there is you're very tall your hair is very long you're very beautiful so it's like I'm not intimidating at all, but that's, that's funny that that was your person. I mean, I guess that's the general perception. Well, no, because I'm saying when you walk into a room, you're like, you have a very big presence. You can't be like ignored.

But first of all, I love bees. You know what I mean? And I was like, what's wrong with this? Like, I love being a bitch. I love being called a bitch. I'm like, yes, bitch. And this wasn't even when you were doing bitchy, like you didn't do bitchy things. It just, you're right.

there is kind of like a stigma right where people look on approachable so people think like oh she must be a bitch and then you're super nice and it's like wait and you see that with so many you know tv personalities and celebrities it's like you know they don't necessarily like do something but you're just like oh i just feel like this way about this person you know and it's just so funny but you know when i got the vibe so i remember one of the first scenes where they in they kind of showed you and Mary as being like really close friends and you were walking with your dogs or something. And I remember thinking like, wow, I really love this friendship because they seem so different. Like Christine, very.

And I love those kinds of friendships where like two different personalities and they complement each other. And that's why I really believed in your friendship and shipped it or whatever. And I was like, you know, they work so well because you balance each other out. So I was really like kind of shocked. upset that your friendship, till this day, I'm like, why'd they fight, though? Like, I know that it's like Chriselle really, but it's like sad to me. It's honestly sad to me too. And it's so funny how, you know, two years can make such a difference in people. And, you know, she was a totally different

person back then. And we were in such a better place. And I loved her. And I still do love her to this day. I actually sent her a text message just because I was thinking about her. And, you know, I hate how the show came between us and like the show won. And it shouldn't have. And I sent her a text message on July 14th. I was just thinking about her. I was like, I miss you. And I don't want the drama of the show to get between us. I really do love you. And I always will. Let's not let the show win and bleed into our relationships. I hope you're doing great. And, you know, I'll keep her message. private but you know she basically agreed but you know didn't really sound like you know she's like ready to be like all right what day you want to hang out but you know it it definitely it sucks at the end of the day I was protecting her that was my whole intention is I was being loyal to her and our friendship and not only did she not appreciate that but then the person that I was actually you know defending her against you know ended up hating me as well so now they're just in their own world and Yeah, it definitely hurts.

But, you know, Amanda and Davina and Heather and Maya and I are all, like, best friends. We talk every day. So I feel happy about that. You know, there was a dynamic shift, but it's okay. So that's so, that's, so you're basically good with everyone, but Mary, who you were the most good with. It's weird. I'm hoping that we can mend that relationship, though. Yeah, I hope so, too, because it feels like it's one of those things that.

that when you'll look back, it's like, wait, what did we fight about? Because, like, when I think of the scene, and I'm sure, though, and you can probably tell us that there was more that happened than what we saw, like, when I flash back to, when I flash back to the scene at the pool, you were upset with Griselle because of her kind of brown-nosing about, not brown-nosing, what's the word, being nosy about, uh... Well, it wasn't necessarily about being nosy. I'm nosy all day long, but the different was, you know, the fact that she, you know, didn't really own up to and kind of lied, basically saying, you know, oh, I didn't, I didn't say anything about Mary. I wasn't being

inquisitive. And she wouldn't really own up to that. And even at the, you know, the dinner that we all had, Mary had said, you know, I heard that someone's in season one, you know, someone's been talking about my relationship. So I really would appreciate if you didn't, guys, and come forward now and let me know if you have a problem. And, you know, so nothing was ever said on Chrisel's end. So I was, you know, trying to just make her accountable for actions, which I shouldn't have done. So that's what happened. But did she, would you be able to like admit or is there any truth to the fact that when Chrisel came in, you were kind of like, I don't know if I like her? Like, did you have a certain vibe from the beginning that made you like harsher on her than

on other people? I think I not really. I mean, I'm really hesitant to judge people before I meet them. But I mean, I think obviously the producers wanted me initially to, you know, not like her. And that was, you know, pretty apparent. But her and I were getting up, you know, we were getting along okay. But we just, you know, didn't have like a super close relationship even before everything. But, you know, we were always nice to each other. Yeah. That's why, again, it just seems like because when her and Davina were talking about Mary,

at least the scene that we saw and, and Romaine and like the ring and if she supports him and if he's like kind of gold diggery, whatever, when we're a sugar mama. Davina was also like talking about it. Why didn't she get heat? Well, she got heat from Romaine. It was different. Like, you... I mean, she definitely got heat.

That girl is taking more heat than a Martha Stewart pan. I know. I feel bad. Yeah, it's just, it's very interesting to find out, like, what triggers people when they're watching the show and playing it back. It's always different for everyone. And it's... Yeah, because Divina also, I kind of feel bad for her because it seems like she got a sucky at it.

You know what I mean? Did she? ever. I mean, she got Frankenstein to death. Oh, no, that sucks. She's one of my best friends. I know you guys seem super close. Yeah, she was over here the other night. And, you know, the thing about Divina is a lot of people don't know she's German. Okay. So she comes from a different culture, different background. And believe it or not, you know, she speaks fluent German. And just because she doesn't have like this wild, loud personality like the rest of the girls, it doesn't mean that she's not sweet. Like, she does smile and she does laugh. But I noticed,

like they purposely never showed her smiling and they never showed her laughing like that was you know you know that was intentional but she's actually you know the most business savvy for sure I mean she's in this development and new dev for you know years so she's very savvy business-wise so maybe they just wanted to portray her as you know the serious one I don't know but she doesn't deserve all the heat she's kidding that's for sure yeah it's hard I think I was I mean when you're watching and your initial responses to people are what they are, you know? And so it is true that with Davina, it's like, oh, she seems like she's kind of like a sourpuss all the time. And you don't see like as many redeeming qualities as in the other girls. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely right. Hey, guys, if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I switched over to native deodorant about a year ago, I was looking for an aluminum-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, natural deodorant that will actually work and will feel good and won't be wet and sticky or all these weird things, because I've tried a lot of natural deodorants. Native is the best. I use the coconut and vanilla flavor, but they have a lot of other great flavors. That's just my favorite. They have lavender and rose, cucumber and mint, citrus and herbal. And like I said, there's no compromise here. using a better deodorant for you and you're not compromising on stinking or, you know, sweating or

whatever. So make the switch to native deodorant like I did and get 20% off by going to native deo, like deodorant, DEO, nativedo.com slash not skinny or use promo code not skinny at checkout and get 20% off your first order. That's a lot. That's nativedeo.com slash not skinny. not skinny or use promo code, not skinny at checkout for 20% off your first order. So again, we're talking about how crazy it's been for you. Like I said, like, first of all, it's funny because when you Google your name, like there's another Christine Quinn who's like ruining our vibe. Like, what is she like a judge?

It's like she's from New York. So I think she was a councilwoman. Yeah, it's like a very serious. So funny because people. Like, I'm not kidding. There was someone on Twitter that was like, oh my gosh, Christine's 52. Like, no way. I can't even believe that.

She looks so good. Being serious, though. And they're like, well, I guess it makes sense because, you know, Amanda's 42. So, and I was like, what? No. So there's so many. Wait, Amanda's 42? Yeah.

Uh-huh. Or maybe 41. Yeah, I think. When I saw Amanda the first time, I was like, should I change my name to Amanda? because it's way cooler than Amanda. But anyway, so you got huge, huge, huge. And I mean, what do you think about the fact that, like, well, obviously it's a Netflix show.

So like you said, you're doing press in the UK. Like, it's international. Like, you're everywhere. I have friends in Israel that watch it. Like, usually my friends in Israel don't know about a lot of celebs that I talk to because a lot are from Bravo and, you know, all these channels that they don't have internationally. And Netflix is fucking.

everywhere. So you're everywhere. Wow. You know? Yeah. So how has that been like getting such huge responses from people? Has it been positive mostly? It seems like you're getting a lot of love. Yeah. I mean, it's it's been so positive. I mean, don't get me wrong. Like, of course I get the occasional hater. But, you know, that. Oh, I saw today some bitch wrote something. What was that? I have no idea. I mean, but it's just annoying because these are. people that don't personally know me and they're watching a television keyword show. Okay, we're here to entertain you and me especially. I have so much fun with it. But globally, I feel like there's so many great amazing fans and I love that. You know, my now husband and I were

traveling quite a bit and, you know, we would go to the most random places in the whole entire world, like little tiny islands in the middle of nowhere, Thailand or wherever, blah, blah, blah. You know, it was always so surprising how many people recognized me. So it was definitely flattering. But it made me realize, yeah, this show is like everywhere, which is crazy. When I saw your post today about some bitch, I want to just give you a tip. Don't even bring light to it. You know what I mean?

That's what they want. Don't even put the negative. I have to remind myself, because if I get any message, all I want to do is be like, but then I'm like, why? Why am I? Well, it's just, it's for me, I. You know, it was like a reminder because I'm like seriously guys, you know, and I wrote a really nice note. I was like with everything that's going on right now, you know, especially this movement that we have going on with, you know, the women challenge and everything online.

Like, hating on people you don't know is so 2019. Like this is so old. You know, like we can't do this anymore. And I just think there's so many things that need to be done about the online bowling. And that's a whole other thing. Yeah. Yeah. People are getting angrier in quarantine, it seems like, too. People are. We give a lot of time. They're keeping warriors. Yeah. They're getting angry.

They're getting, it seems like more to me lately. I don't know. But you're right, because you wrote something like she needs a lot of love. And it's very true. It's hers and not yours. But you also celebrated like 500K followers a few days ago. That's so exciting. I have to ask something a little petty of me. Because I'm a petty-ass bitch. On the show, like, you really stood out to me. You know, my I love to. She's like Israeli, so I love the vibe. I love the accent. Like I said, Mary from the beginning sort of seemed like your, not antithesis, but like your compliments and she seems like a really good person.

With like Heather, I never really like, not in a bad way or anything. I just didn't think about her as like a cast member. But then when I was like Insta browsing, because like I said, I'm a petty-ass bitch. Yeah, I love this. How does she have the most followers? Well, you have to understand that, first of all, I never had social media before ever.

I never even had Facebook. Like, I joined social media at 30 years old because of the show. I would just, I don't know, I never got into it. I know as weird as that sounds. It makes you kind of like a psycho. I know, I just, I never had it because I knew that if I'd had it, I'd be so obsessive. so that's why I never created an account.

And obviously, now I create an account and I'm super obsessive. So yay for me. But Heather used to be a playmate or playboy. So, you know, she's had her account since she was 80 years old. So obviously, you know, she's had it forever. So she has, you know, tons of followers. Oh.

Got it. Didn't wait, like with Hugh Hefner or like on the magazine? Yeah, it was like a playmate. I don't really know what that means. exactly but that's cray cray no no she didn't like date you right i don't know what it means oh so like maybe did you was she in the house no no no no no oh just like uh oh okay yeah oh i didn't know that i thought because of her she just went to parties and stuff like that there but i think that's just because she's a model oh so you're saying from before okay because i was like it has to be

something that i'm missing yeah exactly why yeah and she said it was really funny She was like, oh, this is so annoying because I'm trying to fix my Instagram followers because I have like an all male audience and it's so annoying. And I was like, why? And she was like, oh, from back in the day, I was like, oh, that makes sense. That makes sense. Because with you, do feel, is it mostly females? Mine's like all female.

Mine's like 90% female and the rest of person is just like gay men. But apparently I guess, yeah, because she like, you know, has really sexy photos. So I guess when you're like talking with brands, this is something that I learned as well. they want like female engagement to yeah oh so this is every this is like stuff that i'm learning as well as i go oh yeah because i was thinking she just got engaged to taric which i didn't don't watch that he's also on television yeah i honestly have not seen his show either and i never heard of them until they started dating so a lot of people know it because i was getting messages up the wazoo when she got engaged and then people are also like she looks exactly like his ex-wife

And I'm like- They look a lot of light. They really, so I had to look it up because I don't know him. I don't know his ex-wife. Crazy. I mean, like I had to look up a picture of her too.

And I was like, oh my gosh, brown eyes, blonde hair, like same length and everything. Like they do look a lot. Like, it's crazy.

Oh my God. Well, she's engaged. And you're close with her, you said. Yeah, I was talking with her this morning and yesterday. And I was like,

oh, my God, I'm so excited for you. I'm so happy because I know this is something wanted her entire life. Like, she's that romantic girly girl that, like, meets the guy. And then, like, that night she was going home and, like,

writing her name with his last name on the paper, you know? She's, like, so like that. So, yeah, I'm really happy. Were you like that? Like, writing? Oh, my God. No? Not at all. I'm, like, a total guy.

I'm like, ugh. Wait, you were engaged before. Christian is your... Yeah. So you were engaged before... Three times. three times. Yeah. And then, and then like didn't get me, just didn't like broke it up, broke up with them. I mean, yeah, I just, it's, it's such a weird thing when someone asks you to marry them,

right? Because like, you can't say no. Right. And everyone's like, no, you can say no. And I'm like, no, you can't. Someone buys a brain gets on their knees. Like, you can't say no in the moment. You have to say yes. Right. So then you're like, shit, what am I going to do now? You just have to ride it out, right? So that's pretty much what I did. I just wrote it out, you know, until I couldn't ride it any further. Three times. Yeah. Were any of the times not like, let's ride out?

Were any of the times like, oh, my God, I actually want this is the guy for me? Honestly, one of them was just one that I was just like, oh, I don't know if it's going to work with the rest of them. Yes, I definitely could have seen myself with them, but I would have had a much different life. Like, I didn't want to be barefoot and pregnant in Texas. And if I married the first one, I would have, you know, been totally in love. but I just wouldn't, you know, be the person that I want to be. And I feel like I would regret him forever. Wait, are you from Texas?

Yeah, I'm from Texas, yeah. Oh, so you met him before you moved to L.A. Yeah. So it's just like different. Yeah, I could have had different things. But I'm just so happy because now I, like, have both. I get to have my career, like, and be married, which is what I want. Which amazing.

I, another thing that I remembered about the show that I loved about you is that, that dude that wanted the 40 million dollar house and he liked you a lot like you know him and he was cute and young yeah and he wanted you and i was like christine why aren't you gonna go for the guy with the money to buy the 40 million dollar home so funny we had such a weird relationship so him and i obviously went to high school together right but he didn't used to be nice to me he used to be really really mean to me. Like I was not a popular girl by any means I was in theater and I was like kind of nerdy. Not nerdy, but you know, I was with the theater crowd like, you know, theater kids like all the time. So he was definitely a jock and him and his friends. I always had really, really long hair like even

longer than I do now. That's even possible in high school. And him and his friends threw gum in my hair. And I had to cut it out. They were so mean to me. So it took like years to get over. So, you know, when him and I reconnected, there was the still, like, weird, not resentment, that's not the right word, but still like, I don't know. Like, I just saw him as someone that I had a history with and he really was more like a brother to me more than anything. So I just didn't have that like, you know, when you sit down with someone, you go on a date and you're like, oh, my God, yes. Like, I want you on top of me, right? Yeah. I didn't really have that feeling with him and I never did. It just wasn't there. yeah but so that just i feel like that gave you a lot of points like with me you're like do i care um no i mean

like i was just like you know i'm sure most of the guys that like hit on you in l a and stuff are probably not broke but it's like this dude has like a bunch of shit like he has 40 million he doesn't look bad at all you know him he's into you and i was like and she's like nope like not feeling it like don't need to change my undies over it no so i liked it no i feel like it just shows you have a lot of character and aren't you know and that shit doesn't yeah i just think chemistry is so important you know and so important if you don't have it on the first date it's not getting better you know listen i got married pretty young 27 so i don't know but for my single friends i hear that like at some age you have to give it more than one

and date. And if you don't, you don't have to change your panties, then you have to be like, wait, maybe there's more and give it another chance and another chance. Yeah. Huh. No, I guess you're right. Yeah, it could either way. But now, let's not, you know, put aside the fact that you are married to a gazillionaire. She didn't, don't feel bad for her, that she didn't go with the $40 million home guy. Yeah, it did work out really nice. So your current husband, Christian, graduated MIT is like a genius. Yeah, he's a genius. He's literally a genius.

How did you meet him? I met him through, this is such a funny story and it obviously gets sensationalized. But I met him through a girlfriend in line. She went on a date with him and she just like wasn't into it. And she was like, hey,

I went on a date with this guy and just like not feeling it. But I do know that he is looking for a house. So why don't you want to date with him? If you don't like him, maybe you would just be his agent. And I was like, sure. Like I feel like this is kind of like, a win-win situation. No. So I went on a date with him and I was like, oh, I really like,

I like this guy. He's like different. He's funny. And then, you know, we started dating immediately. And then when we were looking for houses, like we were looking for houses like for us, you know. So it really was like the perfect situation. And I kind of manifested it. And I love it. That's amazing. And then when you were talking about that trip you guys took, are you talking about the like six month trip? Because before you were saying that people like, knew you abroad and like said that they loved the show was that yeah exactly exactly after after season one we were traveling for like you know on and off for like a few months yeah people don't get it because on the show was like oh christian's traveling but like it was a while it was a while yeah i mean we

would obviously take breaks like it wasn't consistent like we've gone one trip we'd come back you know for like a week whatever two weeks to like three weeks whatever or a month sometimes and then do it all again. But yeah, because I obviously had to, like, get new wardrobe. I mean, like, I wasn't wearing the same thing twice, you know? Yeah. So when you do that, how does that work, like, with working full time? Like, you can just, because now we all want to obviously be real estate agents, like, in life. Well, I mean, the way that I did at that time, we have associates at the office. And if I have, like, I wasn't working with buyers. I was working with, well, that were selling their home. So I was working with sellers. So for me, whenever I had appointments for my listings,

I would, you know, have an associate show the property. And if they did seem interested, there was a few times they did flyback for a second stockings or, you know, stuff like that. Because I wanted to meet people and, you know, give them a proper tour. So that's really how that worked. But if I didn't have a listing, well, there wasn't a time where I didn't have a listing. So I just had associates help me out. But it is a profession, or at least with the up and home group specifically, like you can come in when you want. work from home like it's up to you for sure and that's why I think like you know everyone is like I want to be a real estate agent because it honestly is the best job ever but you don't get paid a salary

you know which means that you make no money if you don't sell anything so it's really important to hustle and it's really really hard also it's expensive when you start out you know there's a lot of fees you have to pay and you know in addition to passing the test but other than that yeah It's like you work when you want, and it's a really flexible job. Did you know, so when you moved to L.A. from Texas, were you like, I'm going into real estate? No. I don't know who dreams of being a real estate agent. Honestly, maybe there is people that do.

Well, now for sure. Well, now with the show for sure. Of course now for sure. Yeah. But for me, no, I wanted to do acting. I always wanted to entertain people. So that's why I moved out here. I always loved coffee.

Did you audition? Did you get an, did you like do the whole thing? Yeah, I was working a lot. And for, you know, years and I loved it, but kind of got so tired of because I was getting cast for the same roles. It was like cheerleader, dumb girl, this, that. And I wanted like more in, I wanted more deep role. So I was being frustrated.

So Jason was a friend of mine. And, you know, I was like, I'm really frustrated. And I see him living this fabulous life and working whenever he wants, whoever he wants to work with. So I was like, what is this? Like, what is this world? So that's how I got into real estate. So it's also like people need to understand. There's a difference between being an agent for like million dollar homes and being like an agent for like walkups in New York. So obviously it's like really glamorized like. Oh gosh. I mean, even get a listing like that. It's I mean, it's so, so, so, so difficult. I mean, like, I know on the show, it looks like it's so easy and like, boom,

all of a sudden we talk to a client listing, like, right. Come on. You know, it's really, really difficult. So when I first got into real estate, it took me, I didn't get my first listing until a year into real estate. What do you mean? You didn't like sell? No, I didn't like nothing. I didn't get anything. I didn't have a single client. I didn't do anything for a year. And that was me, like hustling my ass. We open houses every Sunday for Jason's houses. I was working with clients on stop, but nothing came through.

I didn't sell a single thing for the first, maybe like over a year. It was so frustrating. So how long were you working for for them before the show started filming? Oh, years. Oh, my God. So tell me about that.

How it started? Wait, no. How long did you say you worked there? probably like over five years now oh my god okay so we know adam de villo does the show which is probably another because i don't watch like million dollar listing and shit and like i don't either so i was going to ask you like if you had to feel out like what would be more your vibe like being on a show like selling sunset or like million dollar listing where it's like houses no because i love that it's like that selling sunset is

exactly it's like a little bit of that the little bit of the homes and then whatever but like mostly you guys you girls mostly that's the like those are the shows that i like i love the drums and the juice and the fights like i love all that shit so for me like i'm such a bravo girl oh you are yeah but million dollar listen is just like boring and it's all i know it's so boring i don't want watch all dudes. It's dudes. I, yeah, I don't get it. My, my sister was watching that and obsessed. And then I was like, I'm watching Selling Sunset and buy, like, no. And then I made everyone watch Selling Sunsen and everyone loves it. But I can't get into a million dollar listings. Either. And I'm a Bravo girl too. Well, good to know you are one too. What's your favorite

Bravo show? I like that house size is my favorite franchise. In addition to, I got into over, you know, over like Corona, lockdown quarantine. I got into below deck med and I love that show. Oh, stop. I don't watch that. You have to watch it, Amanda.

It's like amazing. Really? Did you start from like the first season? Well, I started with the new season and then I work my way back. It's so juicy. It just, it makes you feel like you're on vacation,

which is like everything that I loved since we couldn't travel. But do you know that to go on it, you pay like $50,000, which is so funny and crazy? What do you mean? like the guests that are on it actually have to pay for the cruise oh yeah i believe i mean like i didn't think they were getting it for free oh okay something no but it's a lot it's like 50 000 dollars which is cray cray yeah

wait so i mean it must have been like a dream come true kind of if like you wanted to do acting and then you like fall into real real estate you really like it but then out of nowhere it's like that's manifesting you know what i mean mean all of a sudden a show comes out of your like career i've always been a really really really strong manifester i even have like a whole community like if you go to my instagram and you click text like there's an option it's like on my instagram it's like email text or whatever like i have this whole community which is like manifesting kind of like i don't know positive vibe i call it my like goddess empowerment group and i send like you know positive text

messages and like stuff like that every day if i can or if it around to but i'm big believer manifestation. I've done so much research on it. I've always said, I just want to be myself and be on a television show. I got so tired of playing other people. I was like, I just want to be myself and get paid for it. Like, doesn't that sound amazing? It's like the most like wildest fucking thing ever. Yeah. But then it happened. But then it happened. Yeah. Weird. So Adam DeVillo, from what I understood, saw like, I don't know, like one of your posters. or whatever. And he was like,

OMG, is this for real? Found out it was for real. Yeah. And wanted to do the show. That's what I understood. Yeah. So we spent a lot of money

in marketing every year. So one of the things that we do is this like huge billboard on sunset. So we do that every year. We do a new group photo and put it on sunset as a great marketing point. And I guess Adam DeVille found it when he was driving down sunset. And he was like, what is this?

This is like a modeling group. Like this is what is? It's like, this isn't real life. So that's kind of how that came to be. That's crazy. So are you enjoying it? Like, do you, obviously you said, you manifesting so is it. But then, you know, then there's reality.

Then there's actually filming and actually doing all that shit. So do you love it? I mean, the filming is definitely a process. It's really, really hard. I'm not going to lie. It's like so much that goes into it. You don't see how much goes into it. Like that scene where I'm like,

swimming in the pool, for example, you know? Or even like the private plane scene. Wait, what private plane scene? When I come out of the plane. Oh, okay. Like, there's so much that goes into everything you have no idea. 17 times you had to walk down those stairs. No, yeah.

It's a lot. So there's a lot. Well, but because you did acting, you're like used to that. Like, you know that shit. Right, right. It's just a lot that goes into it between the hair and the glam and the waiting. and the this and that, you know, a lot, you know, we go over a lot of the times and, and then trying to work on top of that is really hard.

But it's still real, right? Yeah. Okay. No, because I, I, at the beginning, when I, when people recommended to me, they're like, it may seem a little scripted, but it's whatever. And then I started watching and I'm a lover of reality TV like you. So, like, I know how it works, right? I know that there's like, and this is for people to also get.

the fact that it like you know that there's shoots and reshoots and angles and you have to do it again or whatever doesn't mean the drums ain't real just means i mean the the drama is always real i mean yeah the one thing we cannot fake um that's for sure yeah so okay when i was googling like your latest 5 000 articles from today then i saw that christel you? No, I've been blocked since season one. Oh. Yeah, I've been blocked since season one. So season one, the only thing that happened was... Blocking on Twitter, though. Oh, not on Instagram? No, I've been blocked on Instagram. So now on Twitter, too? Yeah. Do you block back? I don't even know how to do that.

Nor do I even care. Oh, my, this is so silly. You're like 40. wait so she after season one only the merry thing happened yes remember at the billboard reveal how I was like I tried to send you a text like in season one the billboard yeah I said I tried to send you a text message but you blocked me oh right yeah like no I didn't I was like yeah you did that was the day she blocked me and I've been blocked since so you're blocked on all mediums locked on all media no but okay but I want to I don't know. The first season, only the Mary thing happened where you were like at the pool. You kind of like, do you feel any regret about what happened at that pool party when you were fighting with her and kind of harsh on her or no? I mean, I feel like my delivery was definitely hard. I mean, my message was 100% accurate.

Was I like wasted? Yeah, for sure. Like, was my delivery harsh? Yeah. Was it entertaining? Fuck, yeah. Did it give us the season two? Mm-hmm.

So you're all in it, true, yeah. There's so many things, like, I can't go back to the way that it was. It was something that, you know, I had to do for the show. Like, and I, you know, like, I made a choice to do it. And, you know, I just wish that, you know, we all know that we're filming a show and, you know. Yeah, it's funny when I talked to Maya, she was on my podcast a while ago and she's so honest and she was just like, I am boring. She goes like, I'm, she, we, we were talking about maybe like the drama or something. And she was like, well, thank God for like, you know, Christine and whatever because she's like, I'm, I know I'm boring.

She's like, I don't create drama. I don't. So, I know. But she's, that's how Israelis are. They're like, very, you know, honest to the point of self deprecating to the extreme. But she's not able or it's not within her to, you know, be able. able to, you know, do what you do. Oh, I will tell you it is.

That girl has more opinions than any of us put together. I'll tell you what. You got on a phone call with that girl and you were like, oh, shit, girl. Yeah. She has so many opinions and she talks so much shit and she's so funny off-camp. Yeah, so what do you think? Like on camera, she just doesn't want to go there? He's very, very, very paranoid and very careful.

And, you know, especially after season one, she thought, she saw what, you know, Devina and I went through with terms of hate, you know, for entertainment purposes per se. And she was like, she's horrified. She's like, oh, my God, nothing to do that. So now she's super, super, super careful. But even in season one, you know, she was like, I always want to remain. I want to be like the neutral one. She was. Yeah. He was always very, very, very overly extremely cautious. And, you know, but void is that for. have opinions and she's funny. No, I'm sure. She's great. She would actually voice them, you know, because that would be a fun. You're like, show your chutzpah. I know, right? No, but it comes across still because she does, people do really like her. Like, that's my feeling. People really like her. I wish she would just like be more of herself. She's funny. Yeah. So, okay, so season one that happened. She blocked you. And then like we got little like snippets. It was like you sent her flowers for her dad. Yeah, I mean, everything was cut out all weird, but basically like I had been

trying to reach out to her multiple times, you know, after that whole incident. And so, you know, she had a series of unfortunate events in her life. And, you know, it's like her, her dog died and I sent her flowers. And it was her birthday. And I sent her flowers. And then her dad passed away and I send her flowers. So I had been like consistently reaching out, you know, and it wasn't like, because I felt bad or anything like what, well, of course I felt bad. But what I'm saying is like it was just because like those are the things that I do for my friends. You know, like I put flowers to my friends. Like I wasn't doing it, you know, like with an agenda. But in the show when you watch it, they cut it out. Like they made it seem like I was like, yeah, I sent you flowers, blah, blah,

and they made it seem like I said and she's like, no, you send me flowers because my dad that. It was like the way they cut it. I was weird. That's why I'm confused. Because she was, she didn't appreciate that at all. Yeah. What was the re? And her reasoning, because then she said that you also, what,

tweeted something? Like, what was it? I would. I'm trying to remember. I really know. Like tweeted. That's a thing. It was. You're right. It was a very kind of choppy scene where like it seemed like she wasn't appreciative of like the gestures you made. But what was her, like, reasoning? Oh, it was the drink list because, you know, she was being really horrible. And she was really, she was like going on Twitter and saying all these nasty things.

And she tweeted all these really horrible things, like saying, I lie about my age. And I've been married before. And I'm older than I say I am. I'm like, what the fuck, bitch? No, I'm not. I'm 32. Like, what are you talking about? Well, actually, I'm 31.

I'll be 32. But, like, what are you talking about? So she just got on like a rampage. So after she went crazy. on Twitter, I had a party. And so that's when I decided to have the drink list name. And, you know. Wait, what was the, what was her drink name?

The Crochelle Tew-Face tonic. It's genius. Like, honestly, it's genius. Like, can she just have a sense of humor? Just, like, laugh about things. It's just funny. Like, it's funny. Everyone had to have their own drink name.

And so. Oh, wait. So there were drink names for the other girls, too? Yeah. Everyone, like, yeah, it was like, Mary's Margarita, whatever. Like, everyone picked out their own name. But obviously, since she was blocked.

She couldn't pick out her own name. Oh, my God. Wait, is there still, are you over it? I mean. I'm 100% over. Like, I've so been over it. I've so been over it. I just, I don't know why I'm still blocked.

But whatever, it's fine. I mean, maybe it's better that way. Did you send flowers again for a divorce or did you give up that time? No way. Oh, yeah, I want to talk to you about this too. Because like I said, like you've been doing a lot of press and came out that she, was oh she actually wrote and talked about it she was pissed that you talked about her divorce now i read or listened or don't remember what you said and it was like nothing you were legit like

course it was taken out of i mean that's the thing the interviewer asked me and that's why i said people are like oh my god i can't believe i was like no did you actually watch the interview the interviewer says, have you ever met Justin Harley before? I was like, yeah, absolutely. Like, he's, he's a great guy. He's a good person. Like, oh my gosh, I'm sorry they're going through divorce. Like, that totally sucks. Like, I heard, you know, I knew they were having some problems and, you know, I heard they were in therapy, but I really didn't know he was going to file like that sucks. And I feel horrible for her. Yeah. Pretty much all I said. It was literally all you said. But I guess that I was even bringing up her name. But the only reason,

and I brought her name of this because I was asked about it, but I answered the question in a very nice, respectful way. But I just, I think she didn't like that I was even talking about her at all. I don't, I don't know. Yeah, it was, I posted about that that day because I read, I was like, ooh, like, you know, very clickbait headline, Christine, you know, talks about whatever. And then you read it and you're like, you were like literally like Justin, nice guy, I met him really sad about the divorce.

And the only thing that you mentioned maybe that I was thinking was, personal was the therapy thing, but that shouldn't be... She was mad about that. I think what she was honestly mad about was the fact that, you know, she's trying to, you know, have this portrayal of, you know, Justin Hartley being such a bad guy and just walking out on her. But, you know, I don't know. I mean, I know only, like, I've met him and he was nice to me.

And that's what the interviewer asked me. And that's what I was going off of. So I thought maybe she got mad that I was saying he's a nice guy. Oh, you think it's more that. than the therapy thing? I thought that's what triggered her, honestly. And she posted something about it, or you can't see because you were blocked.

Well, no, I was obviously told I saw what she said. I mean, she was just like, Christine's like talking about me and making up lies. I was like, why are you talking about? That's a thing. Like when you say that, it's like, what did Christine say? So you go and you try to see. And you realize, like, she's just being dramatic for no reason.

But she kind of has and always has, had this like victim mentality. She's always the victim of something. And I don't really, I don't know why she feels that way. I wish she didn't because no. Well, maybe it's because of her childhood. Because then she'd talk about like a rough childhood and stuff like that. Maybe it's, maybe it's something, you know, from when she was younger that she is a

confusing character because on one hand she seems like the sweetest most. There's a head shaking going on. There's one hand that seems like, really, like a small town, really, really sweet. Christina's dying. And on the other hand, you're like, there's something there. There's something there that you can't put your finger on. You're a smart girl for sure. Yeah.

And you're not the only one. But I don't know what it is. Yeah. Are we going to find anything out season three? Like, well, it's really interesting. We have this for my. birthday, you know, I'm really big into astrology. It's like one of my things. So I decide, well, actually, DeVina surprised me to have an astrologer at my birthday party, which was so fun. So it was like

the Real Housewives, they did that in the Beverly Hills, actually, where they did a reading on each girl. But so we had an astrologist read each of us. And it's really, really, really juicy. I don't want to, like, give any details away. I want you guys to watch it on the show. but she called out some really interesting things, and I can't wait for you guys to see it. Selling Sunset Season 3. I wanted to ask you at the beginning, like when from my,

like as a viewer, when I found out about it, it was when season two was almost all up on Netflix. And I was like, okay, I have to start from the beginning. Oh, okay.

That's when you found it. Yeah. And it kind of seemed like it happened to a lot of people. Did you feel that? Like when season one aired, was it like a slower kind of feel? And then season two, I don't know what happened and everyone.

Definitely. Yeah, I think like season one came out and it was like I remember my social media page was so funny because you have to keep in mind I didn't have social media before. So I posted like me and my nine followers that are like my mom and dad and my sister and like my friend. You know, it's like so pathetic.

So I had posted like, oh my God, it's so excited. Netflix. My show is out. And like it sounds like a fucking joke. It looked like a photo. shopped like joke like a photo. People were like, why are you playing this joke on us? Like it was so sad. And I feel like when the show first came out, it definitely took a while to catch on. But there

were immediate fans, no doubt. But season two, it was like this weird explosion all of a sudden. Yeah. And I feel like it's because it took so long for it to come out. People were like, oh my God. And by the time it came out, they were just like dying, salivating over it. And I did notice that a lot of people like, you know, were late, you know, late loomers, I guess. Right. Maybe I was thinking maybe it was because of like Corona that were everyone was searching like what to watch. But there's something glamorous and. Because also like all influencers and celebrities and whatever started talking about it kind of at the same time.

Like. And it was very much. like, wait, and there's a first season, which to me makes it more fun that you can go back and watch everything. And it's such an, listen, for the people that know me and listen to the podcast, I am the slowest binger on earth, like, because I, I like to like watch an episode and be into it. And selling sunset is so easy to binge. It's so fast. It's so fast. I know it sucks. But they do it in a good way that, like, I don't know.

Like each scene, nothing is too, like, strung along. It's like very, it's very fast. I agree. I agree. So I'm so excited for season three. I'm so excited. Are you nervous a little bit, too, about like. I mean, we're always nervous.

I mean, I'll be honest with you. I have, none of us girls have seen the show yet. You're not going to be able to see it before at all? We're seeing it on the 31st, which is like, you know, like, I don't know, like a week before it comes out. But, yeah, I mean, we're obviously all nervous because we're like, Lord, like, what are we going to be, you know, fucked over with now? It's kind of like, always a surprise when you go to watch it. You just really never know.

But I don't really know if we're nervous. I mean, for me, I'm just, I'm more excited because of my wedding, but. Oh, yay, we're going to get to see your wedding. Does that happen at the beginning or are they going to string it out and make us wait to like the season finale? It's the season finale and it's an extended episode, which is really epic. So I can't wait. Were you happy to have it filmed to be like a memory?

I was so ambivalent on this topic because I was like, oh gosh, like, do I want to film it? Do I not want to film it? I mean, I obviously wanted to share it with the world. I just didn't want to take away like from its specialness, you know? Yeah. I want to have like cameras and everything. So we did a really good job of doing it. Like all the cameras were hidden under black linen and all the cameraman, like they were all hidden and on scaffoldings and stuff.

So it was really well done because I had a wedding photographer and I don't want like a cameraman Joe in the background, you know, like, you know, so we had to like very carefully go about this and even production, you know, I got married in this beautiful Gothic church. So above in the back, there was like a role of pews, you know, so production was all up there. So everything was hidden and it worked out really well. So it was great. I was surprised. Was it how was planning the wedding? Because you seemed like someone who's like very particular about what you want. Definitely am. But my wedding planner was fantastic. But for the most part, like, I planned everything. Like, I know exactly what I want. I'm quite a planner myself. I mean, you know, I've thrown parties on the show. And you've thrown crazy. That's why thinking about your wedding, I'm like trying to picture. Like, is the dress even going to be white? No, it's black. Oh, my God. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I feel bad. I've ruined that surprise for you now.

It does. It's black. But see how. like I actually didn't know and I guess. I was like, wait, it can't, it's not going to be white. Oh, I feel bad now for your viewers. Did I ruin it for him? I don't know. Should we cut it out? Yeah, maybe. Wait, but so Christian, is he, was he down with like, how did he feel or does he not care? Oh, he definitely care. I mean, like, he's so shy. He's like, I don't know how you do this. This is horrifying. Horrifying me. I have so much anxiety, like, being on camera, he's like, I don't know how you do this. And like, even,

just like simple things like trying to like talk on camera he would get so nervous so it's just like a different world for him yeah so how did he become okay with filming the wedding then i mean i was like do you want to get paid or no like you know it's you're like it wasn't his he had no say i mean no he really had no say i mean the weddings are you know really for like the girls like the girls are the ones who love the wedding so but he i mean in all honesty like he knew It was important to me, and he's really, he's really great at, you know, accepting, like, consider it and everything. So that's what he did it.

Yeah, and you'll have the memory. Can you tell us if there's any drama at your wedding? There is drama at my wedding. Oh, my God. There is. I'm trying to think. So I wasn't there. So I only, like.

You weren't in the drama. I was in the whatever. And then, you know, the girls are like on the couches. So I don't really, I don't see the drama. drama firsthand. I don't really hear about it firsthand. But from what I heard, Heather does an article about Christel's divorce, where she, same thing, like what you were talking about with, you know, I made a little comment off the cusp and they make it into a headline, right? That happened to Heather. So, you know, there's an argument about that where Mary was really upset. She's like,

how could you do that? And, you know, Heather was like, it was an accident. Like, they made a headline of it. So, you know, that was really, like, upsetting for her. I don't know why. And then obviously, you know, she gets really emotional at my wedding. And it's an emotional thing. I totally get it. But she's at your wedding, which is interesting. Well, yeah, of course. I mean, who doesn't want the camera time, you know? It's a fabulous event. Who doesn't want to be in my wedding? Everyone wants to come to my way. But you invited her. You could have not invited her. I mean, the thing is, is like, of course, I wanted to invite everyone. I did want everyone to be there. Like, I don't like people to, I don't like to make people feel excluded from anything. So, of course, you know, of course I invited her. So there was some drama with

that. There was some, you know, drama because she's just, it was like a very emotional event for her. She had to like take a theater. Oh. Oh, I think we might see that in the promo. I think we see the, the, the breather. Yeah. But the most important thing is that you didn't, it didn't affect you. Because it's like, your day. Oh, I wasn't even, no, I wasn't even there for all this drama. So I didn't hear about it until afterwards. Okay, good. Yeah, so I had no flu.

Christine, I cannot even tell you how excited I am for this season and, like, to talk shit with you after it happens. Because like, because we're talking like season one and two right now and you've lived another season and like it's probably so it's, and you've been, like, we said, doing so much press and talking about what was filmed a while ago and there's new stuff and there's your current life and shit that you're doing.

I think there's so much going on. Oh, I can't make great guys to see it. Wait, just one last thing because I did also see that did you like tease or kind of drop about like leaving the show or leaving the Oppenheim group

at some point sort of your own thing? That was headline manipulation at its best. If you read the article what it says is it's talking about there's a scene in the trailer actually where Maya, Heather and I are all sitting at the table. And, you know, Maya's sick of the favoritism. And she's like, would you ever leave the agency? And we're all like, yeah, of course. Like we think about it all the time. Like the favoritism is real. Wait, when you say favoritism, is it Mary? Mary. I mean, Mary gets every single listing. Jason just doesn't want to do work. So he just gives it to her.

And it's just so frustrating. He doesn't give it to anyone else. So we're all just like, sick of it. And so it's really, really annoying and irritating. So, yeah, we're tired of it. And we're all like, would you ever leave? And we're all like, yeah, like, totally. Like, if this continues, if this favoritism continues, like, we'd absolutely leave. Why do you think he gives them to her, though? I think they have this really strong relationship and connection. You know, they have a very different bond that they've always had, you know, they just have a very strong relationship. And do you think he's like in love with her? Yeah. I do.

Yeah, I think so, too. I think that he... They're both in love with each other. Oh, you think she's in love with him too? I think they're both in love with each other. So why wouldn't they be together? Well, I think like in a platonic way, you know, but... No, I don't know.

Like, I mean, they both really do care about each other for sure. Yeah, but you said in love with each other. Well, like platonically, not like, not like relationship-wise, but... Oh, okay. Because to me, if I had to like psychoanalyze, again, as a viewer. I'd say if Jason could commit what he's not into, he would have

done. Exactly why they broke up in the first place. But it would be her. Like you probably know more of his exes and people he dated, but to the viewer it feels like he would probably wife her up if he wanted to wife anyone up. It would be her.

And that's what it seems like. Definitely. Yeah. So there's favoritism. I see. Okay. That's, are you allowed to do your own thing, like agent-wise, or can you just work with the Oppenheim group? I mean, not unless you hang your license with another brokerage. Oh, I see. It looks like a whole, like a breakup.

It's like a big-time breakup. I see. So, so you are only doing like real estate stuff with, with the twins. Right. But that's a, that's a big storyline in season three you'll see is because Divina is actually a bro. There's the difference between a broker and an agent. A broker is very prestigious and it's harder to be a broker. It's a different exam. It's very, very difficult. So that means that you are able to run and operate your own broker. So DeVina is a broker. So, you know, on the show, you'll see us girls talk about like, you know, would you ever leave? Like, why don't you start your own brokerage? You know, there's all, all these talks going on because we are sick at the favoritism. I see. So it's definitely something that we've all discussed. Hmm. So exciting. So what else do we have to look forward to season three? Give us like a little teaser promo. So we all tune in and I mean like that's pretty much it. Like we got your wedding. We got Crochelle divorce. We got girls sick of favoritism. Like I said, I haven't even seen the show and we shot it so long ago. So I've only seen the trailer and I know as much as you do. So I really don't know. Like I had told my publicist, I was like, I need. to see the freaking show before I like start talking all this press because I can't answer

questions if I don't know the answer like right you know so would you would you film an another season yeah definitely definitely okay good good to know good to know let my fans down like that Christine thank you so much for making the time to talk to me I love you I think you're amazing I'm jealous of your hair right now it's like drying really great No, but it's, it's drying naturally this amazing and it's kind of annoying. It just dries really straight. No, it dry is amazing. Except for like when I want to curl it, then it sucks.
