Emma Hernan is one of the most recent additions to The Oppenheim Group on Selling Sunset, and fans were surprised to learn that she is not only a real estate agent. Emma is also the owner of a vegan empanada brand. Here is everything to know about Emma's business and how fans have reacted to it.
Selling Sunset follows the agents and owners of The Oppenheim Group, a luxury real estate firm in Beverly Hills. When the women are not out closing multi-million dollar deals on mega mansions, they are typically at lavish parties and dinners serving fans with lots of drama. Selling Sunset season 4 found Christine Quinn making enemies with all of the other agents, all while pregnant. Apparently motherhood has not softened her edges, as she manages to crash a dog birthday party and anger everyone at Jason Oppenheim's party in the season 4 finale. Though Emma started off as just a rival on Selling Sunset, she has already become a fan favorite.
Many Selling Sunset fans will recall that Emma chose to pursue real estate only a few years ago, after working with Brett and Jason Oppenheim when she was looking for her own home. After their encouragement, she got her real estate license and joined to the cast of Selling Sunset to stir the pot. Her bitter past with fellow agent Christine was a focus of Selling Sunset season 4, as the pair fought about how they had previously dated the same man at the same time. Emma has formed a close bond with the other agents, getting especially close to Chrishell Stause over the season.
Emma is an angel investor and CEO of Emma-Leigh & Co. The vegan business has over ten thousand followers on Instagram, mostly featuring customer pictures with the empanadas. Emma's grandfather founded a seafood manufacturing business and she has kept up the legacy with her business. She has grown the company and now sells her frozen empanadas in supermarkets. Some Selling Sunset fans sounded off on Reddit, with r/hereforthefittea saying "Who is paying $129 for empanadas...I have questions."
Emma offers sausage pizza, cheeseburger, and mini beef empanadas, all with plant-based Beyond Meat in them. She has a passion for promoting a vegan diet and shares a lot of her recipes with her one million followers on Instagram. Though Emma is busy as a model, influencer, and real estate agent, she said she spends most of her time running her own business. Fans are hoping to see a lot more from Emma on the already confirmed Selling Sunset season 5.
