Her exit from the show comes after a dramatic season five, where fellow cast member Emma Hernan told Mary and boss Jason Oppenheim that Christine offered one of Emma’s clients $5,000 to not work with her. In the episode, Christine declared, “There’s absolutely no truth to this. I don’t know why Emma is once again trying to make me look bad and stir the pot and make up lies about me.”
Months after it aired, news broke in August that Christine was parting ways with the Netflix show. She later exclusively told E! News that her exit was a “natural progression” into her next career move: a crypto-based brokerage she opened with husband Christian Richard called RealOpen.
“My husband and I have been working on RealOpen for so long, you know? It was a year and a half in the making,” she explained in September. “So in my mind, I was already checked out.”
As for what Mary thinks of Christine’s departure? She made her feelings clear during the season six trailer.
“I don’t think I’ll really miss Christine,” Mary said in the promo, “so it’s probably for the best that she’s gone. But I am nervous about the new dynamic.”
Fans will get to watch that new dynamic play out when Selling Sunset season six hits Netflix starting May 19.
