Christine Quinn has emotions, too, even when her “Promoting Sundown” conduct makes that straightforward to neglect generally. Season 5 was a very difficult season for The Oppenheim Group’s most divisive actual property agent as her coworkers lastly confronted her over the various shady feedback she had made about them behind their backs. The second went down within the fourth episode of the season simply as Quinn and newcomer Chelsea Lazkani had been exhibiting off a brand new itemizing — which did not sit effectively with Lazkani.
After Quinn walked off crying, Lazkani confronted the opposite girls over what she noticed as bullying. Whereas it is true she did not know the messy backstory behind her new pal’s coworkers out of the blue calling her out for speaking about them to one another and the press, the state of affairs nonetheless did not really feel proper to the British-Nigerian actual property agent. “I’m somebody who has additionally been often seen as so robust, or wanted to be so robust as a Black girl,” Lazkani mentioned to E! Information in a latest interview. “I am not at all times robust — and she or he does not at all times should be robust.”
Whereas the opposite realtors had been fast to argue with Lazkani, she stood robust in her conviction that it is by no means OK for one individual to be ganged up on by a big group. Within the episode, she informed the ladies, “After I hear everybody coming at one individual, it is giving me bullying. And even when chances are you’ll not vibe together with her, and dislike her, whenever you all come collectively, it is loads.”
Trying again, she now believes the second might have “humanized” Quinn within the eyes of viewers who’ve grown accustomed to the 33-year-old enjoying the position of villain on the present. “I feel for the primary time we truly humanize Miss Christine Quinn,” Lazkani mentioned. “We see a susceptible aspect to someone that is at all times been seen as so robust.”
All through season 5, Quinn and Lazkani’s bond solely grew, with Quinn advocating for her pal to hitch The Oppenheim Group. Whereas their friendship was nonetheless going robust by the top of the season, Quinn’s standing with the present seems to be up within the air. Within the finale, she failed to indicate as much as a gathering together with her bosses, Jason Oppenheim and Mary Fitzgerald, to debate allegations that she provided one in every of Emma Hernan’s purchasers $5,000 to not work with the agent. Quinn seemingly responded to the allegations in an April 22 tweet that learn, “half-hour until the launch of #SellingSunset get pleasure from the brand new season and all of its 5,000 pretend storylines!”
However whether or not or not Quinn stays with The Oppenheim Group, it seems like Lazkani will proceed to have her again by reminding their coworkers that even somebody as robust as Quinn is not resistant to having her emotions harm.
