Nicole Young has claimed Selling Sunset producers ‘forced’ her to confront castmate Emma Hernan with affair claims.
The TV personality, 39, who has had long-running conflicts with castmates Emma, 33, and Chrishell Stause, 44, on the hit Netflix show, joined Reuben Hernandez-Valdez on his podcast, Getting Real With Reuben.
Nicole spoke about their rivalry and and revealed who she believes is the show’s most argumentative agent.
During the cast’s Pioneer Trip in season eight, Nicole spread a rumour about Emma having an alleged affair with a married man.
Now, the television personality has claimed that producers were well aware of the affair claims several months prior and ‘pressured’ her to bring the topic up at dinner with Alanna Gold, Amanza Smith and Mary Bonnet.
Speaking out about the awkward dinner scene, Nicole said: ‘A lot of things happened in that moment that were not shown.

‘In that moment, production had been aware of Jen saying this information for quite some time. Maybe six months to a year.
‘It’s hard to remember timing because there’s so much time that goes on in between seasons, but they had been aware of this for a while.
‘And I for so long kept saying “All I know is what Jen told me. If you guys want more information, you have to get this from Jen. I don’t know who this person is. I don’t know anything.”
‘So, they had been trying to pressure me to talk about this forever. Like they wanted me to bring it up at the last reunion, and I was like I don’t have anything to bring up, this is ridiculous. So then the pressure, and the pressure keeps building.’
She continued: ‘When we were out in Pioneer Town, they had told me, “Oh, we have the footage of Jen confronting Emma at the party. We have the footage.” And to me it was like, “Oh, okay.”
‘Because again, Jen had told me, before she even told me at the party, like I had just gone to confront Emma, right? So, in my head, Emma had been aware before I had, right?
‘So, now in Pioneer Town, they’re telling me they’re going to show this footage. And I still was like, guys, I know how this is going to work out for me.
‘Like, this is not going to work out well. I’m not stupid. And they (production) were getting p****d because, you know, without that, the whole Pioneer Town trip was kind of for nothing.’

‘So, at (a) certain point, they’re just like, “Nicole, you have to Nicole, you have to”. And I’m like, I’m not, this is ridiculous. I’m not saying (a) thing. Also, if you know Mary and Amanza are aware of this as well, why is this all on me, you know?
‘They’re the ones (that are) friends with Emma. I’m not, like this is not going to go well for me. So then at a certain point production was so p****d they had the other three girls leave the table, meaning Alana, Mary and Amanza,
‘And they sat across from me, because you know how they can do with editing. And they were just trying to get me to say, you know, the name Emma.
‘And I was like, “Guys, I know what you’re doing.” Like they’re like, “Okay, just tell us again what happened with Jen, just tell us again.
‘And I’m like, “You’re baiting me. I know.” like no. So then one of the producers starts screaming at me and says, “if you don’t say this, your job on the show is in jeopardy.
“If you want a spot on the show, you have to say this. Do your job, Nicole, do your f*****g job.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Nicole discussed her conflict with Chrishell on the show and the explosive Girlsgiving Dinner.
The Thanksgiving-style dinner, which occurred in season nine, was hosted by Amanza as an attempt to get everyone to set aside their differences.
However, the dinner famously escalated into a heated argument between Chrishell and Nicole, and following the explosive row, Nicole was asked to leave the office later on in the series.
Now, Nicole has claimed that producers cut the majority of Chrishell’s scenes during the dinner, in which she reportedly ‘attacked’ Nicole and Catherine verbally.
She said: ‘They cut out Chrishell attacking me and Catherine even more than you saw. She went hard on Catherine, she went hard on both of us.’
When asked by Reuben why Chrishell was ‘attacking’ Catherine, Nicole added: ‘Because anyone who potentially might join the show or is even just brought on for different scenes.
‘That always seems to be a threat to Chrishell. She doesn’t like it, and I think she also likes to make it clear, “hey, I’m the top b***h, you get in line or there’s going to be some problems.’
Daily Mail has contacted Netflix, Nicole, Emma, and Chrishell’s representatives for comment.
Last month, tensions between Chrishell and Nicole came to a head in the latest season of Selling Sunset.
In January, it was reported that Nicole had paused for unclear reasons, and now fans know why.
Viewers were finally given an explanation for her exit with the premiere of season nine last month, when a fiery dinner party came to a head when Nicole made an insensitive comment about Chrishell’s deceased parents.
After Chrishell leveraged prior accusations about her co-star’s alleged drug overdose, she hit back: ‘Honey, you’re confusing me with your parents, OK? You seem to be obsessed with drugs.’
It was not taken lightly, with the dinner party aggressively calling for Nicole to leave immediately.

Nicole was then subsequently reprimanded by Oppenheim Group bosses Brett and Jason Oppenheim and fired from her job as a real estate agent (Brett and Jason pictured last month)

The argument between Chrishell and Nicole stemmed from the latter’s claims that their co-star Emma was having an affair with a married man.
Following Nicole’s biting remark about Chrishell’s mother and father, Amanza, 48, responded, ‘I hope you are on drugs because this is f***ing inexcusable.’
She demanded that Nicole leave the dinner, and pointed out that Chrishell’s parents ‘are dead.’
But Nicole did not back down as she called out Chrishell’s swipe and argued, ‘She’s talked about [her parents] being addicts.
‘It is “OK” for me to continually be called a drug addict. You talked about your parents doing drugs.’
Meanwhile, Emma labelled Nicole ‘sick and evil’ as the group of women seemed to gang up on their now-former co-star.
