LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Josh Flagg, a well-known star from 'Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles' (MDLLA), recently stirred up some drama by questioning the legitimacy of the real estate agents on Netflix’s popular show 'Selling Sunset'.

During his appearance on Thursday's episode of 'Watch What Happens Live' (WWHL), hosted by Andy Cohen, Flagg was asked if he had ever watched 'Selling Sunset'. With a smirk, Flagg responded, “No. I only like to watch licensed real estate brokers.” His remark implied that the cast of 'Selling Sunset' might not be properly licensed to sell real estate.

This comment prompted a burst of laughter from Cohen and the audience, who appreciated Flagg's bluntness. The 38-year-old realtor further quipped, “So how ’bout them apples?” making it clear that he wasn’t holding back his opinion.  Flagg has been a fixture on 'MDLLA' since 2006, beginning his career on the show when he was just 21. Over the years, he has built a substantial real estate portfolio and earned a reputation as one of California’s top agents. 

In contrast, 'Selling Sunset' showcases a group of women working at the Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles. The series follows realtors like Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae El Moussa, and Chrishell Stause as they strive to grow their real estate business while also navigating personal and professional challenges.

However, the legitimacy of the 'Selling Sunset' agents has been questioned before. In 2020, Chrissy Teigen tweeted that despite frequently looking at LA real estate, she had “never seen” the agents featured on the show. This tweet sparked conversations about whether the cast members are genuinely active in the LA real estate market.

'Selling Sunset' accused of bribery and drug use allegations

The popular Netflix reality show 'Selling Sunset' has faced serious accusations involving bribery and drug use, adding to its controversial reputation.

In Season 5 of 'Selling Sunset', a major controversy erupted when Mary Fitzgerald accused her co-star Christine Quinn of attempting to bribe one of her clients. According to Mary, Christine offered money to one of Mary’s clients to switch agents and work with her instead. Christine denied the bribery allegations, claiming that the incident was not portrayed accurately on the show. 

Another significant controversy unfolded in Season 6 when Chrishell Stause accused Nicole Young of using drugs. Nicole strongly denied these accusations and took immediate steps to clear her name. She underwent a drug test and consulted a lawyer, and the test results came back negative.
