Former Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn is reportedly considering a dramatic return to the hit Netflix reality series following the departure of her longtime on-screen rival Chrishell Stause, according to exclusive sources speaking to the Daily Mail.
The Potential Comeback
Sources revealed that Quinn, who became one of the most memorable cast members during her five-season tenure, would be open to rejoining the luxury real estate show only if producers presented her with a 'really juicy' offer. The 37-year-old reality star, known for her sharp wit and glamorous fashion sense, helped launch the successful franchise back in 2019 alongside Stause and other original cast members.
While it remains unclear whether formal negotiations have commenced, insiders confirmed that producers have consistently kept Quinn in their thoughts when planning new seasons. "There has always been talks - every season," the source added, suggesting that dialogue between both parties has never completely ceased.
Behind-the-Scenes Drama and Departure
Quinn's original exit from Selling Sunset after Season 5 in 2022 was described as a 'mutual decision' at the time. However, the television personality later made shocking allegations about the production environment during a revealing interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.
She claimed that producers deliberately created scenarios to instigate emotional reactions from cast members and alleged that series creator Adam DiVello once told her to "fall on the stairs and kill [herself]." Quinn further stated she had filed multiple complaints against DiVello for misconduct, though the producer has never publicly responded to these allegations.
The tension between Quinn and Stause frequently dominated storylines throughout their time on the show together. Their feud began early when Quinn publicly discussed Stause's high-profile divorce from actor Justin Hartley, leading to Quinn being cast as the show's villain and reportedly receiving death threats from viewers.
Recent Developments and Challenges
Stause recently confirmed her own departure from Selling Sunset, telling Bustle that the show had taken a significant toll on her mental health. The 44-year-old explained, "I've gotten to a place where I don't need the show financially. I'm lucky to have other forms of employment, because it's no longer good for my mental health."
Meanwhile, Quinn appears to be enjoying a sense of vindication, recently posting TikTok videos that playfully mock her former co-stars. In one particularly pointed clip, she used a Donald Trump voice-over discussing "major criminals" while captioning it, "I see y'all finally met the cast I worked with."
However, several obstacles could complicate Quinn's potential return. She no longer resides in Los Angeles, having relocated to Texas following her highly publicized split from estranged husband Christian Dumontet. The former couple, whose lavish wedding was featured on Selling Sunset, share a four-year-old son together.
Their separation turned particularly dramatic in March 2024 when Dumontet was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly throwing a trash bag containing glass at Quinn, which missed her but struck their child instead. Both parties filed restraining orders against each other, and divorce proceedings remain ongoing.
Interestingly, Quinn isn't the only former cast member considering a return. Sources also indicated that Heather Rae El Moussa might be open to reappearing on the series, with insiders noting, "Never say never!" when discussing potential comebacks.
