"Selling Sunset" star Mary Bonnet has spoken out about the severe backlash she faced following her onscreen feud with Chelsea Lazkani, calling it "very, very bad." She claimed she fought production over how the tension would be portrayed and was shocked by the final edit of season 9, which she felt made her look like she was overreacting. She attributed her emotional state to her house being broken into and a lack of sleep due to neighborhood robberies. Mary said the backlash lasted about three months and affected her career, causing her to lose brand deals and clients. She also revealed that her castmates were prevented from issuing a joint statement in her defense. Since exiting the show ahead of season 10, Mary has stepped away from the spotlight, stating she would rather "disappear into the night" than seek attention.
