Chrissy Teigen is obsessed with Selling Sunset, and the Selling Sunset stars have noticed

Blame it on social isolation. Selling Sunset, a reality TV show based on impossibly beautiful L.A. women selling impossibly beautiful L.A. real estate, has become basically everyone’s lockdown obsession — including Chrissy Teigen. The newly pregnant star recently admitted to bingeing the entire two seasons of the show after hearing so much about it on Twitter (her second home). And while Teigen understands the show’s draw, what she doesn’t understand is why she or her own L.A.-based agents have never heard of the seemingly formidable Oppenheim Group (the firm at the centre of Selling Sunset).After confessing her shared love for the show over social media, plus her opinion that none of the people on the series as “as mean or insane” as most of us think they are (“Maybe I’m just so used to it because I live here,” Teigen posited), Chrissy wrote that her own obsession with local property has led her to question whether or not any of the agents on the show were the real deal.

I will say, I look at LA real estate a lot and have never seen any of these people lol either have our agents, who I have obsessively asked.

Cue: some slightly overblown outrage from certain outsize personalities on Selling Sunset. “My response is I’ve had my real estate license since 2014,” Heather Rae Young told a local TV station. “I’ve been with The Oppenheim Group since 2015. I sold my first house within three months of having my license. It was a $7.2 million house. A week later, I sold a one-and-a-half million dollar condo. And you know, you can look up the proof. You can come to our office. Visit us. We’ve all been in the office for years and years and known each other for almost six years. So, you know, maybe because she doesn’t know us doesn’t mean we’re not real estate agents.”“Lol,” tweeted the show’s Mary Fitzgerald. “I’m in 6 escrows currently and have sold a few dozens of homes in the recent past. I’m sure whoever your agent is, if I haven’t had the pleasure of working with them yet, I will soon.”[video_embed id='2006013']RELATED: John Legend reveals what Chrissy Teigen thinks about his love songs[/video_embed]As for impresario Jason Oppenheim himself, he took a slightly friendlier tack to his response (perhaps hoping to have Teigen as a client in a future season of the show — after all, her family is growing) while still incorporating a dash of shade.

Chrissy, thanks for watching our show! Regarding your agent's knowledge of members of my team, I respectfully don't know him either although that doesn't mean he isn't successful and didn't just sell you a stunning home in Weho (seriously, I love your new house).

Clearing things up even further, Oppenheim told Page Six that “Mary, Heather, Maya and Christine were licensed and successful real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group many years prior to filming our show. Amanza worked with us as a designer, and has been a close friend of Mary’s and mine for many years. Chrishell was a practicing agent at another brokerage, many years previous to filming Selling Sunset.”To be fair to Teigen, it’s only natural that both she and other fans of the series remain somewhat skeptical. After all, the show comes from The Hills creator Adam DiVello, who famously made us question the reality of reality TV with the finale of that beloved series.[video_embed id='2019565']Before you go: Tiny Toronto home listed for $1 million just sold for a lot more[/video_embed]
