Selling Sunset star Mary Bonnet’s brutal swipe at Chelsea Lazkani caused commotion in the series nine reunion.
Selling Sunset’s Chelsea Lazkani was left on the verge of tears during the heated series nine reunion.
During the season, the 32-year-old star butted heads with Mary Bonnet, 45, after she sent flowers to comfort the latter following her home’s burglary.
Fortunately, Mary’s family was not at home during the robbery but it naturally left them anxious.
Upon hearing the news, Chelsea put their differences aside and sent her co-star a floral arrangement with a heartfelt note.
But Mary, who was on bad terms with the British-Nigerian realtor, felt the gift wasn’t sincere and claimed Chelsea set up the delivery so it could be captured for the show.
The 45-year-old’s real feelings about Chelsea were revealed to the whole cast during the reunion.
Host Tan France introduced a clip in which Mary discredited Chelsea’s “single mum act”.
Speaking to producers, she said: “Her struggling-single-mum act is like – That’s – please.
“She’s got a rich f****** ex-husband that pays her support, and she’s on a f****** global TV show, and she’s a poor, struggling single mum? Ask Amanza and I how a single mum is. No, I don’t believe.”
Chelsea, who shares two kids with ex Jeff Lazkani, was left visibly upset by the comment.
She admitted it “got to her,” before explaining: “It’s just not fair to s*** on someone that is a single mum, while being a single mum.
“It’s just not fair. It’s not a nice feeling.”
Mary then defended her stance, saying: “I have been a struggling single mum since I was 15.
“And anybody, Amanza knows, that is struggling knows actions like your words or something, mean just as much if not more than flowers.”
However, Chelsea then dropped the bombshell that, since filing for divorce, she hasn’t received spousal or child support “at all”.
She went on to clarify that “every single dollar that takes care of [her] household, life, and kids” has been her own hard-earned money.
“These are public things babe. Everything’s public,” Chelsea said, before adding: “All I’m saying is, when I say I’m a single mum I don’t say it for pity.
“I don’t say it so people feel bad for me. I’ve never ever been that type of person you guys know me, I have pride.”
Mary then retracted her words, stating: “If that’s the case, I apologise.”
