    Did Emma Hernan and ‘That’ Movie Star Almost Date? 

    Plus the scoop on the other jaw-dropping Selling Sunset Season 5 moments.

Watching Selling Sunset can sometimes feel like stepping into another universe — a place where She-E-Os reign, drama is always in the air and the biggest headaches come from picking out a couture outfit. In fact, this season revealed that there could’ve indeed been a multiverse where some of the agents would be pursuing other endeavors outside of real estate. Imagine Ben Affleck and Olympic athlete Emma dating and becoming Bemma, Amanza performing as a Pussycat Doll. The O Group ladies definitely shared some pretty wild stories this season, and you’re probably wondering if they’re true. In their latest episode, our friends at We Have the Receipts podcast asked the agents about the craziest personal tidbits they shared.

1. Heather’s never eaten Oreos before. (Episode 2)

Sometimes office small talk can be a drag, but when someone reveals they’ve never had Oreos? All hell breaks loose. “I’ve actually never had Oreos before,” Heather announces to the group. The ladies gasp. “Are Oreos vegan?” she asks Google. (They are.) As a chocolate connoisseur, it’s shocking that Heather’s never tried one of the most beloved snacks of all time. Rest assured, she recently revealed on the We Have the Receipts podcast that she’s finally tasted the stuffed cookie. “Chrishell brought them for me,” Heather says. “She actually Postmated them to the office that day so she could try them,” Amanza adds. So, did she like them? “Yes. On top of vegan ice cream would be even better.”

2. Amanza was an extra in Austin Powers... (Episode 2)

Before they were real estate agents, the ladies of the O Group actually had other jobs. For example, Chrishell and Vanessa were both soap opera stars, and Amanza was a featured extra in the third Austin Powers movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember.. Yes, the one starring Beyoncé. “Fun fact, I was a featured extra in Austin Powers 3. But guess who didn’t end up getting featured?” Amanza tells the office. Although she can only be seen in the background sitting behind Beyoncé in the movie theater scene, Amanza shares with We Have the Receipts that she got something else out of being on set. “I actually met someone — he was my pretend boyfriend on the set, and we’re still friends to this day.” Breathing the same air as Queen Bey and finding a BFF sounds like quite the win.

3. …and auditioned to be a Pussycat Doll. (Episode 2)

In the same conversation, Amanza also drops that she auditioned to be a member of The Pussycat Dolls. As the girl group once sang, “When I grow up, I wanna be famous / I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies.” After starring in Austin Powers, Amanza truly embodies those lyrics. “It was one of my darkest days,” she tells We Have the Receipts of the audition. “Although I can kill an eight count, I cannot freestyle to save my life. The song came on and I just didn’t know what to do. People were doing leaps and turns. There were girls with their legs over their heads, so I just awkwardly lifted my leg as high as I could and stood there for the duration of the song.” Does this mean we’ll get a Selling Sunset musical number next season? We need to see Jason and Brett doing jazz hands.

4. Emma almost went to the Olympics. (Episode 3)

One of the most anxiety-inducing scenes from this season wasn’t a fight — it was watching Emma pose for a photo on the edge of an infinity pool. But now we know that had she fallen into the water, she would’ve been totally fine. “You know I was a swimmer? Just an FYI. I qualified for the Olympics,” she casually tells the handsome developer Micah during a walk through of his property. Qualifying for the Olympics… What, like it’s hard? “I placed second nationally in backstroke,” she tells We Have the Receipts. So why didn’t she become an Olympian? “It was my whole life. It was morning and night practice. It was every single day. I think I had one day off a week. I needed a break.” It’s OK, Emma. You might not have a gold medal, but at least you’re getting all those commission checks.

5. Emma and Ben Affleck matched on Raya. (Episode 5)

If you didn’t already know, Raya is an invite-only dating and networking app commonly used by celebrities and influencers. While at a listing, Chrishell asks Emma, “Remember when Ben Affleck went viral because he sent some girl [messages]?” Oh, we remember it all too well. “He may or may not have asked to grab coffee a couple times. I didn’t go,” Emma replies. What?! That explains all the Dunkin’ iced coffees Ben was juggling. “It was right before [Bennifer],” she continues. “We have a Boston connection, so that was his opening pickup line.” Now we have to know what that pickup line was.
