Nicole Young made the wild claim that Emma Hernan is a mistress who’s secretly pursued an affair with a married man during Season Eight of Selling Sunset.

Let’s just say, it hasn’t blown over well among Emma‘s social circle or diehard fans of the show.

Is there any truth or merit to the rumor from Nicole, or is it completely baseless? Here’s what we know.

As of now, there is absolutely zero shreds of proof that Emma had an affair with a married man.

We know that Nicole planted seeds to start this rumor in episodes of the show, first while having a conversation with the newest real estate in the office, Alanna Gold.

When Alanna asked if Emma was single, Nicole responded by saying, “I never know with her, if she’s single or dating someone.”

Nicole went on to indicate that there were more in-depth details saying, “I heard about something from a source. I wish I didn’t know. It involves Emma and that’s all I want to say. It’s morally upsetting to all of us.”

Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and Amanza Smith did their best to shut Nicole down from talking while on camera, but they didn’t get very far.

Nicole just kept on going.

She went on to say, “It’s just information that could really affect families, marriages and Emma’s reputation. I wouldn’t do anything. Just like I haven’t done anything, I wouldn’t. Because I don’t know anything. That’s why we’re all being awkward and weird about it. But as a married woman, that kind of shiz pisses me off. If I were the wife, I’d f’ing kill someone. But my husband also would never in a million years. You know I’m going to get murdered for this. She would literally burn me at the stake.”

Chrishell posted an Instagram story to warn viewers about the rumor saying, “Disclaimer when you watch: Just know she spews a disgusting lie about a bestie that is categorically FALSE and SUPER damaging. It is NOT TRUE.”

Emma’s other best friend, Chelsea Lazkani, also chimed in to say, “Nicole Young you are the most diabolical piece of [trash] I’ve ever met, you wanna start a rumor about Emma because all the rumors about you are true. OK, let’s see how this works out for you. Spreading lies for views is so damaging.”

Nicole responded to them both publicly in a social media post of her own writing, “Instead of attacking me and accusing me of lying, I think you ladies need to ask your bestie some tough questions. Did she let you know she was directly confronted on camera at the Season Seven finale by the wife’s best friend? Even still, I stated this info as a rumor.”

Emma has yet to speak out about this drama, but there wouldn’t be any real reason for her to do that if the rumors are baseless.

Emma shouldn’t feel pressured to waste her breath talking about it.

The last time it was confirmed that Emma was dating someone, it was a man named Peter Cornell, who also works as a real estate agent at the Oppenheim Group. Aside from that, it’s been reported that Emma is single.
