The Biggest Selling Sunset Drama That Happened Off-Screen

April 2024 ยท 2 minute read

"Selling Sunset" regularly features arguments between the real estate agents in The Oppenheim Group offices, but not every fight is caught on camera. During the show's second season, viewers saw Amanza Smith expressing her concern over the speed with which Heather Rae El Moussa had been introduced to her boyfriend Tarek El Moussa's children. But according to Smith, viewers only saw the tip of the iceberg when it came to their discussion over the milestone. 

In an interview with Express, Smith discussed the argument, saying, "[Producers] even cut out a lot. ... You didn't even see it, it was worse. It was heated to the point where people were just like, 'What the hell's going on?'" However, Smith was immediately uncomfortable during the disagreement, telling the outlet, "And my gut is in my throat, and I just remember thinking, 'Okay, like make it stop, make it stop, make it stop, make it stop, stop. What is going on?'"

Ultimately, Smith was simply being protective of her friend, and of Tarek's children, as a single mom who has been through a lot herself. Discussing how her own breakup had affected her children, Smith told Express, "The kids were still just heartbroken. It was so sad for me, my little boy especially ... it just broke my heart." Still, it's hard to imagine Heather and Smith having such a big row when they usually seem to get along just fine on-screen.
