'Selling the OC' fans shade Austin Victoria and Lisa Victoria over 'swinger' accusation, support Sean Palmieri

'Selling the OC' stars Sean Palmieri and Austin Victoria get into heated argument following the accusation

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: Sean Palmieri made some outrageous claims against his co-star Austin Victoria and his wife Lisa Victoria during Season 3 of 'Selling the OC'. After Austin confronted Sean about these ridiculous claims, they got into a violent brawl outside the Oppenheim Group office.

Ali Harper, who joined the cast in Season 2, questioned Sean about his relationship with Austin when they were out to dinner with Kayla Cardona, their co-star. It seemed like the two men had grown apart.

"Austin and I were chill. But I do think he and his wife are a bit too flirty for my taste sometimes," he said to Ali and Kayla. Sean said that Lisa would touch him and say things like, "You're my favorite in the office," and that Austin had made advances at him in the past.

During a supper with his wife Lisa in the same episode, Austin and she got talking about Sean. According to Austin, there was a crazy rumor around the office that they had attempted to have a three-way with Sean after drugging him with marijuana cookies.

Lisa scoffed at the assertions.

Then they recounted the events of that particular night. They added that after having supper and playing Oculus, Sean left their place to go home.

Lisa said that she did bake cookies while he was there, but she did not use any marijuana. Lisa said, "We've never had a three-way, and it's not going to be with you, Sean," to this rumor.

"He thinks he's going to be the first one?"

In the end, Austin confronted Sean about this story in front of the entire staff. Sean said that Austin approached him first and told him everything that he and Lisa were interested in, denying any wrongdoing on his part.   

According to Sean, Austin once commented, "If I wasn't married, the things I would do," ostensibly referring to sexual activity. Sean claimed that Austin had complemented his legs once more. 

After hearing what Sean had to say, Austin became enraged and shoved him. Other office agents intervened to break up the altercation.

Fans on X refused to believe Austin's side of the story, one user wrote, "This very staged conversation between Austin and his wife in episode three makes them look as if Sean is telling the truth. Neither one of them are very convincing, especially his wife." Another person chimed in, "Absolutely believe that Austin and his wife Lisa propositioned Sean for a threesome. Austin was throwing stones at Jarvis for being at that “swinger party with old fat men,” meanwhile it was confusing why HE was there without his wife."

One user quipped, "selling the oc is so funny omfg cuz why do i lowkey believe what sean is saying about austin and his wife." A fourth user noted, "Last season Austin was sooo over his wife. Last season Austin was talking about seeing Jarvis at a swingers party. And now he’s trying to act like him swinging is completely out of the question." 

One user tweeted, "Alex Hall, Polly, Austin (and his wife), and Tyler all give sex pest energy. They’re all on this show to sell some houses and suck and fuck (each other)." Another added, "I’m sorry but Austin and his wife are 100% giving that vibe. “I made him cookies” girl.." 

Is Selling the OC's Austin Victoria and Lisa's marriage open?

Austin and Lisa angrily refuted claims made during Season 3 that they hit on Sean and desired a three-way relationship with him. They did, however, express an interest in continuing to explore their relationship.

Austin said to Sean that he wasn't attracted to him and that "you're the last person I'd ever hit on" when he confronted him. According to Austin's remark, even if Sean might not be their type, they might be willing to make out with a third person if it really strikes their fancy.In addition, Sean mentioned that co-star Tyler Stanaland had previously informed him that Austin and Lisa were giving him "swinger vibes". Later in the season, Sean recounted how Austin and Lisa attempted to have a three-way conversation with him, but when Kayla brought up the edibles, he didn't seem to understand.

Sean didn't remember the supposed marijuana cookies.

"Everything was fabricated, everything was a lie that was said," Austin remarked to ET in reference to the recently revealed episodes.

"What truly happened the night that he came over to my house, we were just texting back and forth, my wife and I, we're gonna have dinner, she was gonna bake some cookies and I just got an Oculus -- a VR, I'm a big gamer -- so Sean and I are texting back and forth," Austin recounted.

"He asked if he could join us. I said, 'Sure,' so he joined us for dinner. My wife baked some cookies -- she does a lot of baking, she's, like, in her Martha Stewart era -- and then Sean and I played Oculus."

"It was a boring night," he added, "and then he went home. That was it. There was nothing more to it, and then a rumor started I would say, probably, six months later is the first time I heard it -- and the first rumor I heard was just that Lisa and I we're a very flirtatious couple, so getting vibes or whatever, and then it continued into this thing where we're into three-ways and blah, blah, blah... so, it's all a lie. I'm a family man. I have kids. I'm not into that; never was, never will be."
