What happened between Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi in Selling Sunset season 8?

So, this is how the drama begins. Bre receives a phone call from a friend/fellow real estate agent named Amanda Lynn asking to meet up to discuss some information she heard about Chelsea’s husband. They decide to meet up at a restaurant, and Amanda shares with Bre text messages she received from a close friend of hers. The close friend claims in the text messages that they saw Chelsea’s husband Jeff at the W Hotel locking lips with another woman. 

Although Bre and Chelsea still aren't quite on good terms after all that transpired between them in seasons 6 and 7, Bre can't help but feel bad for Chelsea it seems. She had experienced being cheated on in her previous marriage to former NFL player Johnny Manziel.

Bre spends a couple of episodes contemplating on whether to tell Chelsea the information she learned about her husband. However, they do eventually meet for drinks, and Bre finally shares with Chelsea what she learned from Amanda. Chelsea breaks out in tears after hearing about the cheating allegations, and Bre tries to console her. But while it seems that the two finally have a heart-to-heart, this truce doesn't last long at all.

In a later episode, Chelsea, Emma, and Chrishell spend quality time at Chrishell’s house, and they talk about how Bre brought the cheating scandal to Chelsea. While discussing Bre and Chelsea’s previous meetup, Emma and Chrishell start to question Bre’s true motives for telling Chelsea about her husband cheating on her, especially Emma. After thinking everything through, Emma doesn't believe Bre told Chelsea about the cheating out of the kindness of her heart. She believes that if Bre were actually trying to be a good person, she would've relayed the news to Chelsea off-camera, but she didn't. 

She thinks there's a chance Bre set up the meeting with Amanda on camera to humiliate Chelsea. However, Bre continues to stand her ground by saying that she didn't. The issue comes to a head at Mary and Jason’s dog's funeral, where Bre and Emma decide to sever their friendship while Chrishell continues to straddle the fence on her and Bre’s friendship. However, Chelsea and Bre are completely done trying to build a friendship at this point.  

Now, feeling like those she thought were her friends are against her, and that Chelsea is making her out to be a villain, Bre devises a plan to shake up the Oppenheim Group office by bringing in Amanda. We don't find out if Amanda gets hired at the O Group at the end of Selling Sunset season 8, but if she does, it'll definitely ruffle some feathers. 

After watching Amanda in a couple of scenes this season, she doesn't seem like a good person at all. She likes to stir the pot, and we've had enough of that in past seasons. Honestly, with Bre being good friends with her, it makes me question Bre’s character as well. It does make you wonder if Emma was right about her. 

Take a look at this clip from Selling Sunset season 8, showing Bre delivering the news to Chelsea about her husband cheating on her.

What are your thoughts on the drama between Chelsea and Bre this season? Do you think Bre had an ulterior motive for bringing Chelsea’s husband’s cheating scandal to camera? 

Selling Sunset season 8 is now streaming on Netflix.
