UPDATE 24/01/25 - Nicole Young told Tyla: "I had a call with production two days ago during which they told me I have absolutely not been fired from the cast but they chose to pause my filming schedule until next week in order to protect me from situations on set that had become very contentious.
"I’m still debating whether or not I want to continue filming in this kind of environment, especially with so many infuriating double standards.
"Selling Sunset has been a great opportunity and a wild ride, but it is not my life or identity. I have a big, beautiful life outside of the show...and thankfully in the real world, my life and personality can't be edited or misconstrued to portray me negatively to fit into a produced storyline."
ORIGINAL STORY -Selling Sunset star Nicole Young is 'on pause' from filming the hit reality TV show amid her feud with co-star and enemy Chrishell Stause.

TMZ is reporting that the 39-year-old has taken a break from filming the ninth season last year and it’s unclear if she will return.
It appears that this decision stems from clashes that Young found herself embroiled in with Stause and other cast members.
A particularly heated moment came when she came to blows with other agents of the Oppenheim Group during a cast dinner in November.

After this, she was advised by the company’s founder Jason Oppenheim to take a step back.
She has not filmed anything for the Netflix show since.
In September, Chrishell had declared she would quit the show if Young returned, although she later clarified she could be swayed by an extra ‘zero’ on her pay check.
At any rate, she came back to the show even with Young’s return.
Nicole Young and Chrishell Stause drama explained
Since first appearing on Selling Sunset during its sixth season, Young has been immersed in endless conflict.

She wasn’t on the show long before she began accusing Chrishell of taking credit for a listing she’d been working on.
From thereon in, the two have had an adversarial relationship, which peaked with Chrishell accusing Young of being on drugs.
Drama and Selling Sunset have never been too far apart.
Another estate agent on the show, Bre Tiesi, found herself rowing with Chelsea Lazanki over the latter’s husband allegedly cosying up with another woman.

Emma Hernan has also been at the centre of some drama, after Young alleged she was seeing a married man.
This led to Hernan slamming her co-star as ‘a sick individual’.
In an interview with Vulture, she denied the rumours outright: "I know what she’s referring to. First off, it was in 2021 that I showed this person properties and then they actually asked to invest in my empanada company. I said 'No,' and nothing happened.

"When I say nothing happened, I never touched this man, never kissed this man, never held hands with this man.
"I was completely blindsided by this whole situation, and I mean backstabbed by everyone involved, everyone that knew anything about this because it’s completely slander, it’s defamation [and] it’s all of the things."
It's not yet known when the ninth season will be dropping.
Tyla has contacted Nicole Young and Netflix for comment.
