Bre Tiesi revealed why she was relieved after filming season 9 of Selling Sunset — in large part due to a surprising change.
“Honestly, this is my first season where I’m not fighting for my life. So I’m really excited about it,” Bre, 34, teased during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride event on September 26.
Bre had a shockingly good time this time around, adding, “I get to actually enjoy myself and let everyone else try to claw each other’s eyes out. So that’ll be nice.”
After wrapping production, Bre realized she got to “show a lot” of her hobbies and her son, Legendary, with Nick Cannon.

“Oh yeah [there is still drama] — just for everybody else,” she quipped. “Just not for me. So I’m like, ‘It’s not me this time.’ But no, there’s definitely drama and there’s definitely sales. We also always bring the fashion. So it’s all the regular programming. I’m just chilling.”
Bre has been on Selling Sunset since 2023. The journey, however, hasn’t exactly been smooth after she developed an ongoing feud with costar Chelsea Lazkani. During season 8, which premiered in September 2024, the duo ended up even more at odds after Bre was told by friend Amanda Lynn that Chelsea’s husband, Jeff Lazkani, was seen getting cozy with someone else. Bre took the information to Chelsea, 32, which led to an entire season of drama between the costars.
Bre denied having any bad intentions toward Chelsea but her individual friendships with Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan deteriorated as a result.
“I said what I said. Do I wish it could have possibly gone different and Chelsea could just not be Chelsea? Yes. But here we are,” she shared with Us in October 2024. “I just have to meet people where they’re at and know they’re just gonna be who they are. I had a feeling that was coming anyways and if she thinks she won then great.”
Bre weighed in on where she stands with Chrishell, 44, after she chose Chelsea’s side.

“I love Chrishell as a person. I feel like from what’s going on — I understand the situation and relationship with Chelsea. I really respect that and they had an existing relationship way before me,” she continued. “So I’m not someone to force anything. Whatever she believes at this point is her prerogative. Maybe one day down the line, we might work it out. But right now, I don’t really care either way. I support her.”
At the time, Bre admitted she was still coming to terms with the drama.
“I need therapy. I need a fifth of vodka. It’s a lot and honestly, it’s really taxing. People don’t really understand,” Bre said. “It’s a job. At the end of the day, we’re here to entertain you. But when it becomes such heavy topics, it really weighs on everybody.”
She concluded: “We never really know what we’re gonna watch and we relive it all over,” she said. “[It’s] a lot of PTSD.”
Selling Sunset returns to Netflix on October 29.
