Mary Bonnet Clarifies Her Status at Oppenheim Group Following Selling Sunset Exit

Mary Bonnet is setting the record straight regarding her departure from Selling Sunset and her standing with the Oppenheim Group.

The 45-year-old, who has been part of the luxury real estate reality series since its first season, addressed speculation about her exit during a significant cast overhaul. Reports emerged last month indicating that Bonnet, along with Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, and Sandra Vergara, would not continue with the show.

In a statement to Inman News, Bonnet made her position clear: "I'm not fired to make that clear. I'm very much still the Vice President at the Oppenheim Group. I'm still very much a part of the Oppenheim Group and doing real estate and best friends with Jason [Oppenheim]."

She elaborated on her reasoning for stepping back from the series, explaining that her vision for the program differs from its current direction. "Nothing is going to change that. It's simply the show and the vision of it. I want it to be more women empowerment and not what it has been," she said.

Just days before the cast changes became public knowledge, Bonnet offered hints about what was to come during a red carpet appearance. When asked about the season 10 lineup, she remained deliberately vague about the specifics.

"Producers know. I don't know. I have no say over anything – well, actually, maybe I did have a little say, but I don't know…Production was trying to decide. Netflix wanted a change-up, and there's gonna be a lot of changes," she revealed at the time.

She continued with additional cryptic remarks, noting that while returning cast members Heather Rae El Moussa and Christine Quinn likely had more information, the full scope of alterations remained undisclosed. "I don't think anybody really knows what the changes are really gonna be, other than [Heather Rae El Moussa and Christine Quinn]…Well, there is more changes than that. I just can't say."
