Selling Sunset fans have been enjoying the drama of season 8 but fans still aren't quite over Christine Quinn's absence. Here's where she is now, exactly why she left and if she'll ever come back.
Selling Sunset season 8 has been another huge hit for Netflix with the likes of Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan and Chelsea Lazkani bringing all the drama for their loyal fans.
However, despite her quitting back in 2022, fans are still missing one famous face in the form of Christine Quinn and asking just why she quit The Oppenheim Group and consequently, the show itself.
Things got messy for mum-of-one Christine before she officially left the show, which saw her co-star Emma claim she bribed a seller with $5,000 to not work with her anymore. Her final scenes saw her miss a disciplinary with boss Jason and never return again.
Since quitting, she stepped forward and branded the show's storylines 'fake' just as series five came out on Netflix.
So why exactly did Christine leave Selling Sunset? Where is she now? And is she making a comeback? Here's all the latest information.
After leaving the show back in 2022, Jason Oppenheim, the co-owner of The Oppenheim Group, has said that he'd welcome Christine's return to the show but insisted that it would be a "group decision".
The multi-millionaire said "everyone deserves a second chance" when he was accosted by TMZ, explaining: "I have nothing against her coming back, I think everyone deserves a second chance, I've definitely had my fair share of chances.
"I think I'd be onboard but that would be a group decision, it would be Netflix, production, cast. There's a lot of people involved in that. But I'd be for it, if everyone else was."
Christine's boss Jason confirmed she no longer works at The Oppenheim Group after she was accused of bribing a client.
During the Selling Sunset series 5 reunion, which Christine was absent from, Jason explained Christine was yet to discuss the situation with them but that he'd welcome her back to the brokerage 'if she changes her behaviour'.
He told the reunion's host Tan France: "We've texted and we haven't really addressed this situation. I mean, she hasn't reached out to talk about it. I know that she has some thoughts on it.
"Right now, there's not a place for her at the Oppenheim Group. In the future, if she takes real estate seriously, if I can get an understanding of her perspective on things, if she changes her behaviour, if she brings in a big listing... there are a lot of reasons where I would consider her having a place at the Oppenheim Group but I have to say that right now, there isn't a place."
Christine has officially left Selling Sunset after quitting The Oppenheim Group at the start of 2022. Insiders told TMZ that Christine and bosses at the Netflix show made a 'mutual decision' over her exit.
Instead, Christine will focus on her own business, modelling and other ventures. Well, she does have nearly 5 million Instagram followers.
Upon leaving the show, Christine announced she was setting up her own business and brokerage in a bid to become her own boss.
She revealed in one of her last episodes of Selling Sunset: “I’m just kind of thinking these days. I'm not desperate for a job. I'm intelligent, I can start my own brokerage. I can be a broker. I mean if Davina can do it, I can do it! I want to work for myself—be my own independent boss.”
And when she announced her new company, Real Open, Christine wrote on Instagram: “Why work for someone else when you can be your own CEO?” backing up her plans to be her own boss.
“My Boss b**** manifesto is don’t STOP until you are the Boss of your own life. YOU and only you control your storyline,” she added.
Christine has also been busy with her modelling career after signing with IMG Models.
And when she's not travelling the world, selling homes, attending industry events or being a mum, she's releasing books like her How to Be a Boss B*tch title.
Recently she's had a massive campaign with Diesel and gave her fans an update on life as a mum.
Sharing an adorable video of her and her son Christian Georges she wrote: "Our children watch us more than they listen to us. They learn from how we live, how we love, our relationships, the dreams we chase, and the fullness with which we embrace our lives.
"To all the women and single mothers out there, remember—your journey toward living fully teaches them the true meaning of strength and purpose. Your own life is their greatest lesson."
