Jason Oppenheim says Christine Quinn left Selling Sunset at the right time

Jason Oppenheim thinks Selling Sunset viewers got “tired” of Christine Quinn’s behavior on the show.
The real estate magnate told Page Six that she left at the right time because fans were done with the drama and watching Quinn play the bad guy.
Fashion magazine Quinn left the show last season after saying some of her co-stars weren’t happy with her.

Throughout the first five seasons, viewers watched Quinn sell luxury and exclusive homes and properties and get involved in drama with her costars.
In August 2022, it was reported that Quinn would not be returning for seasons six and seven.
“I think people were tired of seeing that dynamic continue season after season,” said the 45-year-old Oppenheim.
“So I think it’s at least brought a breath of fresh air to the office and to the show.”

Last season, the 34-year-old broker was accused of bribing a client.
And while she denied the allegations, Oppenheim just wants to put the drama and controversy behind her.
“It’s not the kind of drama I enjoyed as a professional real estate agent,” he said.
He added, “I was not happy with the kind of issues that were brought to my attention. I think it’s run its course.’

Earlier this year, Quinn revealed that she had canceled her contract with the Oppenheim Group and would not be returning to the popular reality show.
Since her departure, Quinn launched a new business venture with her husband Christian Dumontet in April 2022 – crypto real estate brokerage RealOpen.
‘I canceled my contract when the brokerage started. I had to make a business decision that was right for me, so I had to terminate the contract so I could move it to my brokerage,” the fashion mogul explained.
She insisted that Oppenheim knew about her new brokerage.
She shared, “Jason knew. I told him. He and I had had conversations a year earlier. I told him I was doing my own thing.
“I think they thought I was bluffing. I don’t think they really thought I worked for a company. I don’t know. But I told them for a year that I was working on this. Everybody knows.’

Oppenheim told Page Six, “I never had my own personal issues with Christine other than recognizing that she had a lot of other issues with other cast members.”
“But I wish her well and I know she’s doing great things, especially in fashion.”
While Selling Sunset’s sixth season will miss the Quinn, known to fans as the show’s “bad guy,” Oppenheim says it will be the “best” season yet. He revealed that there is even more drama.

“I would have liked the drama to have calmed down, but it didn’t. It ran out. It made things a bit difficult in the office, but I think it probably makes for good TV,” he said.
Oppenheim didn’t reveal who specifically was involved in drama, but revealed what viewers can expect in the upcoming season: “So much real estate, so much interpersonal life experiences, relationships… So, so much drama.” It will have everything.’
Netflix has yet to announce an official release date for season six of Selling Sunset.
From now on, Oppenheim will focus on selling homes with the 1060 App. He attended the launch party in West Hollywood, California, on Thursday.
The new app uses short digital videos to give buyers a better understanding of how to view a potential home virtually.
Oppenheim said, “I think real estate agents are going to do more than just take pictures to sell real estate.”
