Davina Portratz found herself centre of much drama during her time on Selling Sunset, particularly because of her fall out with co-star Chrishell Stause and Mary Fitzgerald's husband Romain Bonnet.

And when she wasn't arguing with her fellow agents at The Oppenheim Group, she was busy taking huge real estate risks that put her career on the line. We all remember the $75million listing right?

After joining the popular reality TV show from season 2, Davina was a headline star until around season 4 when her presence became less and less.

For many, they believed that once Davina quit the famous LA brokerage, her time on the show was over. However, she hinted on Heather Rae El Moussa's Instagram - another cast member missing from season 7 & 8 - that she was written out.

So what happened to Davina Potratz on Selling Sunset? Here's what we know.

Did Davina Portratz leave Selling Sunset?

In season 4, Davina's exit from The Oppenheim Group was made public when Jason Oppenheim began advertising for a new agent. Davina's spot was filled with Vanessa Villela.

Davina moved on to join a rival firm called Douglas Elliman, an estate agency located in Beverly Hills. She called it a "pure business decision".

However, since then, the estate agent has been back in the office after Jason and Brett offered her another chance. Davina has been appearing on the show, but significantly less.

Ahead of season 8, Davina took to TikTok to ask fans about what they think of the show. In the comments she was extremely responsive and she confirmed she still worked at The O Group.

One fan quizzed: "Do you still work for The O Group and just not star in the show or have you left completely?"

Davina simply replied: "I'm a o group."

Why is Davina Portratz not in Selling Sunset season 8?

For eagle-eyed viewers, you would have noticed Davina was shown for a brief moment during Chelsea Lazkani's 30th birthday party in season 7 but otherwise, she's been pretty absent since season 4.

Commenting under Heather's post, who was talking about being dropped from Selling Sunset after season 7, Davina suggested the same had happened to her.

Heather wrote: "Looks like I got pushed in the water… its a good thing I can swim! Congrats to my girls on S7! You may see me in a few episodes…"

To which Davina replied: "You and me both."

Also on a recent TikTok Davina posted she revealed she wasn't fired, instead saying: "I didn't get fair treatment so I didn't want to go on."

And on where she was in season 7 she said she was "cut out of every scene lmao".
