If “Selling Sunset” returns for season six, the reality show’s resident villain, Christine Quinn, is unlikely to be returning with it. During the season five reunion, which Netflix dropped on May 6, boss Jason Oppenheim addressed her current status at the Oppenheim Group.
“Right now, there’s not a place for her at the Oppenheim Group,” he said. However, Oppenheim did leave the door open for a return. “Now, in the future if she takes real estate seriously, if I can get an understanding of her perspective on things, if she changes her behavior, if she brings in a big listing, there’s a lot of reasons why I would consider her having a place at the Oppenheim Group, but I have to say that right now, there is no place.”
Meanwhile, in April, a source revealed to Us Weekly that Quinn is no longer with The Oppenheim Group. “It was Christine’s decision to leave the Oppenheim Group,” the source confirmed.
Quinn’s bio is noticeably missing on The Oppenheim Group’s official website. Since it was still there shortly after season five premiered on April 22, it appears the formal split occurred after the season ended. The realtor’s next move is no secret: she and husband Christian Richard recently launched their own cryptocurrency-based brokerage, RealOpen, as reported by Forbes.
However, what remains unclear is whether or not Quinn will still make future appearances on “Selling Sunset.” The divisive realtor missed the taping for the show’s reunion special, which is set to premiere on Netflix on May 6, after testing positive for COVID. “Christine tested positive for COVID and out of abundance of caution for the cast and crew, she did not attend the reunion,” her rep told Us Weekly. “Producers offered her the opportunity to video chat, but she declined because she wasn’t feeling well enough to do it.”
Given how many Quinn-related cliffhangers there were in the season five finale, fans will no doubt be disappointed if the realtor doesn’t return in some capacity for the show’s sixth season. Almost everyone is still at odds with Quinn in the finale, from Chrishell Stause to Mary Fitzgerald to Heather Rae El Moussa. During the finale, titled “Nothing Remains the Same,” Quinn’s future with The Oppenheim Group is put into question after she skips her meeting with Fitzgerald and Jason Oppenheim.
