Jason Oppenheim says ‘Selling Sunset’ fans were ‘tired’ of Christine Quinn

Jason Oppenheim believes Christine Quinn’s departure from “Selling Sunset” came at the right time.
Chat exclusively with Page Six during the launch app 1060 on Thursday in West Hollywood, the head of the Oppenheim Group said he felt fans were “tired” of watching Quinn play the villain in the glossy Netflix documentary series.
“I think people were tired of seeing this dynamic continue season after season,” Oppenheim, 45, told us.
“So I think if anything, it provided a breath of fresh air for the office and for the show.”
Since the first season of 2019, Quinn has found herself at odds with many of her castmates and other luxury real estate agents – including Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae Young and, memorablely, Emma Hernan.
In season 5, Hernan, 30, claimed that Quinn had bribed a $5,000 client to quit his job with a vegan empanada enthusiast. Quinn, 34, vehemently denied the accusation.
Regardless of who was right, Oppenheim happily walks away from such a conflict.
“It’s not the kind of drama I enjoyed as a professional real estate agent,” Page Six said. “I wasn’t happy with the types of problems [about Quinn] my attention was brought to my attention. I think it turned out.”
Quinn left Oppenheim Group – and then “Selling Sunset” – to take off real open, a cryptocurrency real estate venture, with husband Christian Dumontet in April. A month later, she released her first book, How to Be a Boss B*tch.
She has since starred in several exclusive fashion campaigns, the last of which was for Beyoncé’s beloved brand MCM Christmas Collection.
“I’ve never had personal issues with Christine other than the fact that I was aware she had a lot of other issues with other cast members,” Oppenheim explained to us.
“But I wish her the best and I know she’s doing great things, especially in the field of fashion.”
While Season 6 of Selling Sunset won’t feature Quinn’s witty confessions or killer on-screen style, Oppenheim is confident that the upcoming installment of the series will be the “best” yet.
“I wish the drama would settle down, but it hasn’t. It sped up. It made working in the office a bit difficult, but I think it probably lends itself to good television,” he admitted with a laugh.
“So much real estate, so many interpersonal life experiences, relationships… So, so many dramas. He will have everything.”
Oppenheim didn’t reveal who clashed during production, but he promised plenty of explosive clashes between his agents.
“We have new agents and new issues between agents,” he teased. “I won’t tell you who will fight this season, but there will be fights for sure.”
Until season 6 streams – Netflix has yet to announce a release date – Oppenheim is focused on selling homes with the help of 1060. The new app uses short digital videos to give buyers a better idea of what they’re getting into.
“A lot of different real estate applications approached me and I was very careful to put my personal and professional reputation behind anything,” he explained.
“But I’ve spent about a year looking at the 1060 and I’m a believer in it. I think real estate agents will be doing more than just photos as they move forward to sell real estate.
