Mary Bonnet is getting candid about Selling Sunset.
The 44-year-old real estate agent and Vice President at The Oppenheim Group has been starring on the Netflix reality series since the beginning, for the past eight seasons.
In a new interview, Mary opened up about almost quitting the show and revealed one past castmate that she doesn’t think should be back on the show.

“After, I think it was season six, after Palm Springs, I actually called [husband] Romain and I was like, I think I’m done. And he was like, ‘Really?’” she said during an appearance on The Pop Report podcast. “I was like, ‘It’s going to change our life. And that means you’re probably not going to be on it either and stuff too. So I just want to talk this through because I really don’t think this is good for my mental health because I was on hormones and stuff’”
“When I was crying at the end, I was actually – and now with the book, people will realize what I was crying about actually, because it looked like it was because I couldn’t deal with the girls and I cannot handle it. It was because we were going to this club,” she continued. “And I was like, ‘No, I, I’m not doing that because I don’t go to clubs without my husband there to protect me because of the sexual assault.’ And so I am very, very cautious about where I go and who I go with. And it just brought up a lot of the traumatic feelings. And then I said, ‘I’m not going.’ And [the producers] said, yes, you are. And I said, no. And I was like, no means no. So I started freaking out. I was like – and I wasn’t drinking at the time, so I was like, okay, fine. What do you want me to do? You want me to drink? I’ll drink. You want this? I’m not going. And I lost it. And I just started hyperventilating.”
She also commented on the possibility of Christine Quinn, who left the show after season five, returning to the show.
“No,” she simply replied. “We have plenty of people that start the drama. The only reason I say that, like, I will always care about her, but it just made it so toxic. And it wasn’t just on camera, it was behind the scenes too with so many cast members. And it was just a very, very toxic environment. And it broke my heart because I will always love her and care about her. That was not healthy for anybody.”
Along with Christine, no longer main cast members include Maya Vander, who made a guest appearance in season eight, Davina Potratz, Heather Rae El Moussa and Vanessa Villela.
Also on the podcast, Mary also addressed the Emma Hernan dating rumor from season eight, if Chrishell Stause will actually quit the show, and revealed the divorce advice she gave Christine. Check it out here!
