Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani has accused Bre Tiesi of co-ordinating a calculated plot to ‘ruin’ her on the programme.

She claimed Tiesi, 33, introduced her ‘racist friend’ Amanda Lynn to the Netflix reality show’s cast to ‘take me down.’

Lazkani previously shared a viral TikTok in which user @stephwithdadeets claimed to have unearthed old tweets from more than a decade ago containing racial slurs from Lynn.

On X, Lazkani alleged: ‘Bre brought her racist friend on the show to try to ruin me.

‘Never met the Amanda girl a day in my life but her and Bre in her words wanted to “take me down”.

‘I took the scene because it was already a storyline. It was all premeditated, I just handled it the best way I could.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Netflix, Lynn and Tiesi for comment.

In Selling Sunset season 8, Tiesi told Lazkani that Lynn’s friend claimed she saw her husband Jeff Lazkani allegedly kissing another woman in a hotel lobby.

Tiesi said she could not be ‘1000%’ sure the information was accurate but wanted to relay it to Lazkani as she had once been in a similar situation.

In March, Lazkani filed for divorce from her ex-husband citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Season 8 has only just landed on Netflix but in the days leading up to the launch was embroiled in a crisis as cast members threatened to quit after watching the previews.

At the screening, they learned agent Nicole Young secretly spread a rumour that her colleague Emma Hernan had an affair with a married man.

Chrishell Stause, 43, said Hernan, 33, was left ‘blindsided’ by the ‘categorically false’ claim.

In a string of posts, Stause threatened to quit the reality show after Young ‘spewed a disgusting lie about a bestie’.

Tagging the production company, Done and Done, Stause slammed it for not giving Emma a chance to ‘defend herself with the truth’.

She also said she would ‘never work on a show’ with Young ever again even if she faced being ‘sued’.

Lazkani shared posts tagging Nicole, calling her ‘the most diabolical piece of trash’ she had ever met.

She also questioned the production company’s ‘moral ground and integrity’ and said it was ‘spreading lies for views’.

Viewers of Selling Sunset have taken to X to complain about the exhausting drama and the show for pitting women against each other.

‘I love Selling Sunset. That said, I can already tell with the social media drama that this season is going to BOIL my blood and I don’t like that. Producers need to realize we want fun, small drama, and seeing these crazy houses/trips/lives. NOT this serious, annoying bulls***,’ user Emily posted on X.

‘These Selling Sunset cast members are out here trying to promote their show with online drama. Can we please just bring back Selling the OC that show is better!’ Bernie shared.

Selling Sunset first hit screens in 2019 and follows a group of LA real estate agents working at the high-end brokerage firm, the Oppenheim Group.

Metro.co.uk previously contacted Done and Done Productions and representatives for Stause, Hernan and Young for comment.

Selling Sunset is available to stream on Netflix.
