Christine Quinn just did an interview with Call Her Daddy (via Just Jared) and wowowowow she didn't hold back. First of all, Christine was asked about Selling Sunset's cast salaries, and instead of refusing to answer the question she said the following:

“I’m gonna get sued after this. I don’t care. You can’t afford my lawyers .… There’s three different tiers. I get paid the most. Jason as well .… My entertainment attorney, you know, basically [said] this is my value and I think it’s all about recognizing your worth.”

I mean, makes sense considering that Selling Sunset would be much less entertaining without Christine providing iconic outfits, drama, and one-liners.

Anyway, Christine also claimed that the show uses “six full-time storyboarders” who are responsible for coming up with Selling Sunset drama. “We come to a scene and they want everything to be—I can’t even say the word without laughing—organic,” she said, per Just Jared. “They literally hold us away from each other."

Christine went on to say that producers "separate" the cast in different rooms until they're ready to film, and then try to stir up drama: "They’ll have someone say, ‘Oh, my gosh, you know Christine just said this about you in a previous scene,’ and they’ll come to me, ‘Chelsea said this about you [in] previous scenes.’ So they set up these scenarios which instigate our emotions intentionally."

“I know how it works, I don’t take anything [the producers] say to heart, but new girls coming in do,” she continued. “But they do everything they can to amp the girls up, to rile the girls up.... It is a male dominated industry in the production field, to which they manipulate women, they harass them, they just mentally torture and intimidate them."

Christine has officially left The Oppenheim Group to start her own company, but she recently told Us Weekly that she will “absolutely” be back next season, saying "we just have to get creative now because I don’t work for the Oppenheim Group. Maybe it’s a battle of the brokerages.”
