Selling Sunsetseason 8 came with more drama than ever after Nicole Young accused Emma Hernan of having an affair with a married man,but that wasn’t the first time Emma was in the middle of an entanglement.Selling Sunsetrevolves around the lives of Oppenheim Group realtors, an affluent real estate brokerage in Los Angeles. The newest season had some of the most controversial storylines, including Chelsea Lazkani’s divorce. However, none of those stories were bigger than Emma’s supposed involvement with someone else’s husband, making Emma a certified main character inSelling Sunsetseason 8.
Emma became part oftheSelling Sunsetcastin its fourth installment, hoping to inspire young women with her success as a real estate agent and business owner. Unfortunately, the reality star and empanada entrepreneur found herself in the hot seat and had to defend herself in public after Nicole, 38, made these serious allegations against her. Sadly,this is the second time Emma has been accused of not being a girls' girl, putting her reputation at risk.

Emma Hernan Was Accused Of Cheating With A Married Man
Selling Sunsetseason 8’s major point of drama revolved aroundNicole’s accusation about Emma’s affair with a marriedman and that the wife had confronted her. Nicole, Amanza Smith, Mary Bonnet, and Alanna Goldwere discussing O Group dating lives while at Pioneertown. In a scene with some of the other women, Nicole cryptically hinted at the alleged romantic relationship.
“I wish I didn’t know. It involves Emma and that’s all I wanna say. It’s morally upsetting to all of us. It’s just information that could really affect families, marriages and Emma’s reputation.”

Nicole claimed she had gotten the information from a “reliable source.” Sadly, Nicole didn’t stop there. She went on to call Emma “hypocritical” for supporting Chelsea, who was going through a divorce due to infidelity. Some of Emma’s co-stars, like Mary Fitzgerald, defended her character, statingEmma was selective about who she dated, making the rumor seem a bit far-fetched.
Christine Quinn Said That Emma Cheated With Her Ex
Way before the explosiveSelling Sunsetseason 8 cheating allegations,Emma had gotten into a feud with ChristineQuinn inSelling Sunsetseason 4. Christine claimed that her ex, Peter Cornell, whom she had dated for two and a half years,had cheated on her with Emma. In her defense, Emma claimed that she hadn’t gotten involved with Christine’s ex until after their relationship had ended. Christine said she and Peter were in an on-and-off-again relationship when she caught Peter leaving the gym with Emma. That ended in a confrontation (viaStill Watching Netflix). Emma stated that Christine and:
“Her friend were banging on my windows screaming and I didn’t know what to do. I rolled down my window and she was just screaming. And then he comes out and starts screaming at her that she’s crazy, and to leave me alone because I did nothing wrong.”

Two months later,Peter and Emma were engaged. Emma claimed that was the first time he’d proposed to anyone, but Christine said otherwise. She told Emma during a one-on-one chat that she was engaged to Peter, but no one knew about it. Not even Mary, who was close to her. It was weird for Christine to bring the affair to light five years later, considering, at the time, she was married and just had a newborn.
Is Emma Innocent?
Regardless of the accusations, it looks like Emma is innocent. After Nicole’s comments, Chelsea and Chrishell Stause rallied behind Emma, seemingly disagreeing with that information. During her interview withEntertainment Tonight, Chrishell, who doesn’t get along with Nicole, called her a “liar.“Nicole and Chrishell have been embroiled in a feudsince Nicole joinedSelling Sunsetin season 6. While speaking toVulture, Emma defended herself, claiming Nicole was a"sick individual” and there was “zero truth to that rumor.”

The first cheating claims by Christine also didn’t seem substantial. Mary, Christine’s oldest friend at O Group, refuted her allegations. TheSelling Sunsetstar took Emma’s side during this fallout, noting Christine was lying and Emma’s relationship with Peter occurred later. Perhaps the series was selling drama alongside houses since Emma didn’t seem to have any part in Peter’s and Christine’s breakup.
