Selling Sunset star Amanda Lynn breaks her silence on racist tweets as she fuels explosive season 8 feud with Chelsea Lazkani

Selling Sunset newcomer Amanda Lynn has spoken out to insist that she is not racist after a TikTok video showing her old discriminatory tweets went viral ahead of the season 8 launch.

In the run-up to the Netflix show’s new series, which launched on September 6, a clip exposed the real estate agent’s historic posts in which she re-tweeted comments featuring the n-word.

Amanda has since addressed the tweets, calling them a ‘brief lapse in judgement’ while also expressing ‘regret.’

Her representative told DailyMail.com: ‘The tweets in question, made over a decade ago, were a brief lapse in judgment and do not reflect Amanda Lynn’s beliefs or values.

‘She regrets the mistake, has learned from it, and is not racist.’

Amanda was brought into Selling Sunset as a friend of Bre Tiesi and came bearing reports that Chelsea Lazkani’s husband Jeff Lazkani had been seen kissing a younger woman in a hotel lobby.

Days before the release of season eight, a TikTok video posted by the user stephwithdadeets circulated on social media showing screenshots of tweets which were seemingly published by Amanda in 2012 and 2013.

Two of the tweets feature a quote from another user who had used the n-word, while a third was a racist quote. Her profile is now private.

Explaining her findings, the TikTok user said in the video: ‘The newbie is Amanda Lynn. She’s also a real estate agent and she also has a racist past.

‘From the season eight trailer, it looks like Amanda Lynn is the one who goes to Bre [Tiesi] with the tea about Chelsea’s [Lazkani] husband.

‘Someone sent me these old tweets that are from Amanda Lynn. And Amanda Lynn has used the n-word multiple times.’

The TikTok video was reposted by Selling Sunset’s Chelsea, who subsequently claimed that Bre had teamed up with Amanda to ‘ruin her.’

‘Bre brought her racist friend on the show to try to ruin me,’ she alleged on X.

On X, Chelsea said Bre brought Amanda on the show ‘to try to ruin me’

‘Never met the Amanda girl a day in my life but her and Bre in her words wanted to “take me down.”

‘I took the scene because it was already a storyline. It was all premeditated, I just handled it the best way I could.’

The damning TikTok video was shared far and wide on social media where users accused Netflix of not carrying out thorough background checks on the cast.

Commenting on the clip on X, one user said: ‘New selling sunset cast member Amanda Lynn with racist tweets.

‘When we asked for drama we didn’t ask for bigotry. Jesus does production vets these new women.’

On Reddit, another posted: ‘I genuinely don’t understand why they keep making Selling Sunset such a horrible show cast wise.

‘Do they not see how much people dislike Selling The OC?! We don’t need a repeat.’

A third commented: ‘Genuine question – who in 2012 thought it was in any way acceptable to use the n-word? I sure as hell didn’t and NEVER have. People are absolute trash.’
