Hows the $75 million compound going?Oh, I cannot reveal that just yet.
Youre gonna see more in season five.
You famously would not turn down that listing.
Is there ever a listing you would turn down or have turned down?Yes, definitely.
What I love aboutSelling Sunsetis its about real estate but also your relationships in aReal Housewiveskind of way.
Are you a fan of other reality-TV shows?Um, not really.
Once in a while Ill watchBelow Deckor something, but I dont watch too many other reality shows.
I mean, the show puts you on display as a celebrity.
You know, I dont think I did anything wrong as far as the press is concerned.
I think theyre playing up certain things that were portrayed on the show.
Once reporters talk to me, theyre like,Wow, youre so nice, youre really great.
But she goes, I really like you.
I would be friends with you.
And I said, Right?
So now what do we do?
So the headline was jarring, but then the article was positive.
How do you differ from your character on the show?
Ive more than owned everything Ive done in season three.
Ive processed that, and Ive answered questions about that and cleared up whatever confusion there mightve been.
But I can also tell you with certainty that you dont know my entire personality.
You dont see very much of me you only see maybe 10 percent of me.
Thats what you identify that person with, but that is not the entire person.
And that goes for everyone on the show, good and bad.
In season four, you see more of that.
Do you watch the show?
Did you watch the other seasons before you went into season four?Yeah, of course.
We usually just watch it once because we know what happened in its entirety.
I dont want to say what really happened versus what not-really happened its not like that.
So we usually watch it once to see what they highlighted.
Did you go into season four feeling like you wanted to distinguish yourself from Christine?
It felt like you were kind of frustrated at being lumped in with her.Christine is my friend.
I dont think its fair to lump me in.
I will say I did see Chrishell and Mary at an event in April.
That was Jasons birthday party.
That was not filmed.
And they were very lovely to me and very happy to see me and super-welcoming and nice.
So I was a little bit confused as to why they were still so upset when we were filming.
Because I didnt talk about them at all.
Im a little bit like,Wow, this feels like bullying.
How much of your relationships with people on the show bleeds into real life?
Now, having filmed seasons four and five, Im very close to Emma.
Im pretty close to Heather too.
Mary and Chrishell and I are on good terms as well.
But I was a little taken aback seeing their commentary.
Im kind of amazed how much they talked about me when I didnt talk about them at all.
Im always so amazed at how Maya manages to never be too involved in the drama.
Its important for viewers to understand that a lot of time has passed since Christines wedding.
Shes had a baby.
I have seen the ladies in the meantime, and weve really moved past that.
So if theyre the ones that keep talking about it, theyre going to manifest more.
I did everything I could to start on a new page and move forward.
Im proud of how I handled myself.
I was a little surprised to see how much theyre still talking about the past.
When I hugged her, she was not really wanting to hug me.
You cant just put everything on me.
Its very difficult to go into an office with those emotions you saw displayed in that team meeting.
I noticed there were a lot ofMean Girlsreferences this season.
I didnt know that people still had such strong hate toward me.
Christine asked me, How was that?
because she wasnt there.
And I said it was great I thought it was good energy.
That was a real response because when I did walk in that day, Heather was especially welcoming.
She was so kind to me, and she made me feel very welcome.
And so was Emma.
That unfortunately didnt make it into the final edit.
Im really confused about how people actually feel.
But Im also a very genuine, authentic person.
I like when people are honest and direct with me.
And I own that and apologize for it.
I honestly dont know what else I could do, and Im kind of over it at this point.
Theres no right or wrong here.
For me, maybe Im too real, and thats okay.
But my friends are very genuine.
I said, I dont know what happened.
This is not my battle to fight.
I cant say either way because I wasnt there.
She was really late, and I texted her and said, c’mon come here.
They want to talk to you.
And actually Maya and I talked to Heather.
We said, Christine really does want to talk to you.
I think you guys can have a good conversation.
And we were very hopeful they would.
We were trying to encourage Christine to communicate with the other women and especially Heather.
I could tell that for both sides, things were becoming worse.
I didnt know what to do, but it wasnt my battle to fight.
I dont know how to help really.
Emma is actually really lovely.
Shes a sweetheart, and I dont think you see how warm she is.
Now youve left and come back to the Oppenheim group.
What brings you back?Well, I have a great relationship with Jason.
Hes fantastic, and he didnt want me to leave and tried to get me to stay.
He said, kindly come back.
You didnt see much of a conversation he and I had offline where hes asking me to come back.
I wanted to focus more on new development.
I live less than one minute away from the office.
I could probably walk there, which is super-convenient.
And I am friends with the girls in the office.
You and Jason have butted heads in the past.
Is that at all alienating?Thats not really alienating to me.
Im really happy for them, and I did see them have genuine chemistry.
Its not completely shocking that theyre dating because we do spend so much time with each other.
Ive seen Jason become even sweeter and warmer.
He just seems softer all around, and I think Chrishell has had a great effect on him.
Everyone has felt that way.
They must be very confident in their relationship to come out officially and put it on the show.
That makes me feel like it must be very significant.
And I think Jason is very fair.
But theres lots of other people at the office, so I dont think Im singled out.
Im interviewing Chrishell next.
