The ongoing feud between Mary Bonnet and Chelsea Lazkani on Selling Sunset has taken center stage in the latest season of the hit Netflix show. This rivalry has intensified, fueled by both personal disagreements and professional conflicts. As season nine unfolds, viewers witness the return of past tensions, including emotional moments that highlight the deteriorating friendship between these two real estate professionals.
Mystery Behind Mary and Chelsea’s Dispute
To understand their current rift, we must revisit events from season eight. During last season, Mary and Chelsea collaborated on a co-listing, hosting a large open house. However, the event did not go as planned. Tension rose when Chelsea arrived late and Mary criticized her choice of attire, a blazer paired with a mini skirt.
- Mary voiced her concerns to co-founders Jason and Brett about Chelsea’s outfit.
- Critical comments were exchanged regarding professionalism in their workplace.
When confronted, Chelsea felt undermined. She noted that discussing her clothing in the presence of male colleagues was disrespectful. This marked a pivotal moment in their relationship, setting the stage for the turmoil ahead.
Consequences of the Home Invasion
As season nine began, Mary faced a traumatic home invasion. In an attempt to show support, Chelsea sent Mary flowers. Unfortunately, this gesture backfired. During filming, Mary questioned if Chelsea had ulterior motives for the timing of the flower delivery, suggesting it was staged for the cameras.
- Mary’s suspicions were heightened when a colleague discarded the flowers.
- During a dinner, Chelsea defended herself, claiming she did not need camera time and was genuinely concerned for Mary.
In a post-show interview, Mary expressed confusion over the situation, hinting at possible coordination between Chelsea and the production team. She stated, “I think there was some working together on their side for that to happen.” This left their friendship in further jeopardy.
Emotional Climax and Further Fallout
The emotional climax of their ongoing dispute surfaced at Bre’s party, where Mary was visibly upset upon spotting Chelsea’s name on a seating card. Chelsea opted to skip the event altogether, choosing to spend time with other friends. In various statements, Mary emphasized her discomfort with the lingering issues and suggested that there were unrecorded conflicts contributing to her feelings.
- Mary expressed in her reflections, “I’m a grown woman and I’m a professional. I don’t have this in my life.”
- Chrishell Stause, another cast member, defended Chelsea, insisting that Mary was not in danger at any point.
This further escalated the situation, leaving fans to wonder about the status of their friendship. Currently, while Mary follows Chelsea on Instagram, Chelsea has not reciprocated, raising questions about the future of their relationship.
What’s Next for Mary and Chelsea?
The Selling Sunset reunion scheduled for November 5, 2025, promises to shed more light on their complex dynamics. For now, the distance between Mary and Chelsea remains evident, and viewers are eager to learn if reconciliation is possible.
