Christine Quinnis opening up about the breakdown of her relationship withSelling SunsetcostarHeather Rae Young.

“We just started seeing each other less and less and less, and she became closer with Mary [Fitzgerald] and Chrishell [Stause], who obviously has opinions about me. Unfortunately, it is what it is,” says Quinn, who will release her first book,How to Be a Bad Bitch, in May 17, 2022. “I was really hurt because Heather and I were so close. She was like a sister to me.”

Adds Quinn: “I feel like out of all the girls, Heather and I were actually the closest. Mary and I were close in proximity because we lived together, but it was surface level; it wasn’t deep. I knew more about Heather in five minutes than I did with Mary living with her in six months. So I think that’s the hard part for me is that we were so close, and we don’t even know why we drifted apart.”

After a bumpy first season, Quinn, 32, and Young, 34, were friendly on seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix reality series, which was renewed for two more seasons earlier this year. However, eagle-eyed fans have noticed Quinn hasn’t been on Young’s social media recently. And she was noticeably absent from Young’s recentbridal showerahead of herupcoming weddingtoFlip or Flopstar Tarek El Moussa.

“My invite must’ve got lost in the mail,” Quinn quips.

While the reality star can’t pinpoint exactly why their relationship went south, she notes there were a few points of tension.

“I read an article that she did, and it really broke my heart because she said something about me being a mom not changing me or something. It said something like, ‘I hope she becomes a softer person,'” Quinn says. “Out of all the things you could have said, why? I knew she didn’t mean it that way, but … we’re sort of drifting apart.”

Quinn also says she helped Young manifest a future with her fiancé El Moussa.

“The nail in the coffin was when I read that she wrote a letter to Tarek and told him to open it on their one-year anniversary — and they wereengageda year later,” Quinn says.

Quinn adds that she doesn’t have as much of a relationship with her Oppenheim Group colleagues andSelling Sunsetcostars because she prefers to work from home.
