Jason Oppenheim addresses Christine Quinn’s ‘Selling Sunset’ departure

Reality TV

Jason Oppenheim has “zero concerns” about Christine Quinn leaving “Selling Sunset” ahead of Season 6.

“I always follow my agents’ leads, and I always want them to do what’s best for them,” the Opppenheim Group co-creator, 45, told TMZ Thursday. “I know she’s starting her thing, and I’ve supported her in that.”

Oppenheim noted that he would “never question” his former co-star’s “decision on [her] professional endeavors,” saying, “I always think [my agents] are capable of making their own decisions.

“I’ll advise and support, but I would never get upset at anyone for leaving,” he continued. “I want the best for Christine. If she thinks that’s best, then I support that.”

Oppenheim went on to praise the “two new really strong women” joining the cast, Bre Tiesi and Nicole Young.

The real estate broker called the additions “strong personalities,” adding, “I have zero concerns about Seasons 6 and 7 being the best. … I don’t want to use the word ‘villain,’ but I think there’s gonna be interesting dynamics.”

News broke on Wednesday of Quinn’s departure after five seasons.

News broke earlier this month of the expanding cast, with Page Six confirming Wednesday that Quinn, 33, was exiting the Netflix show after five seasons.

“Christine knew this day would come,” a source told us. “She’s proud of the work she put in to make ’Selling Sunset’ a success, but she could see herself phasing out of the cast even before she began filming Seasons 4 and 5.”

The insider mentioned Quinn’s “far bigger” goals, while a separate source told Page Six of her plans to strut “the catwalks in New York, Milan and Paris.”

The decision was mutual after Quinn spoke on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in May about producer Adam DiVello allegedly making threatening comments to her.

The “How to Be a Boss B—h” author also claimed that “editing magic” was used to make her out as the cast’s villain.

At the time, Quinn had “terminated” her Oppenheim Group contract but told podcaster Alexandra Cooper that she planned to stay on the show.

The realtor and her husband, Christian Richard, have since started a company of their own called RealOpen, which the website calls the “most efficient way for crypto holders to purchase luxury real estate.”
