With Mary Fitzgerald being a high-valued real estate agent in the Los Angeles-area, she often has celebrity clients that include fellow reality stars. After the Selling Sunset star was spotted house hunting with Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Mary exclusively told Screen Rant what it was like working with the controversial reality star.
Mary is known for staying out of drama on her hit Netflix reality show. But, Braunwyn is known for doing the exact opposite. The Real Housewives of Orange County star spent the last season at odds with most of the cast. In her personal life, Braunwyn was coming to terms with her sexual identity while trying to save her 20-year marriage to Sean Burke. By season's end, she had already introduced fans to her girlfriend on social media and shared her journey to sobriety. But, at the reunion, she was called out for allegedly offering Shannon Beador's teenage daughter drugs. The revelation shocked the cast and viewers and put Braunwyn in the hot seat as she tearfully apologized.
Earlier this month, Mary confirmed that Braunwyn has become her new client. The LA-based realtor was spotted with Braunwyn at the Oppenheim Group's Orange County office. "It’s funny, I don’t watch the ‘Housewives’ so I didn’t really know who she was when I started working with her and then funny enough, she said the same thing,” Mary told Page Six. “She’s like, ‘I know who you are, but I don’t know much about you’ because she doesn’t watch reality TV either!” While speaking exclusively with Screen Rant, Mary explained how the two formed their own reality star mash-up. "People's lives just intersect sometimes," she said. "We do a lot of showings and stuff with a lot of celebrity clients, and a lot of artists. Luckily, we meet a lot of good people out of that."
She went on to confirm how clueless she was about Braunwyn's portrayal on RHOC. "I don't watch that Housewives, so I don't really know much about what goes on or who she is on the show, but she was a lovely person when I met her and showed her around," Mary shared. Some celebrity clients that have bought homes through the Oppenheim Group include singer Nicole Scherzinger, actresses Meryl Streep, Dakota Johnson, and even Orlando Bloom. On the show, viewers have seen guest appearances from Queer Eye's Karamo Brown who went to a showing. However, it's not confirmed if Braunwyn will make an appearance on the show in the future.
Netflix recently greenlit Selling Sunset for two more seasons. Season three ended with Mary at odds with Christine Quinn and Davina Potratz while getting closer with Heather Rae and Chrishell Stause. Since filming wrapped, Chrishell has experienced her first breakup post her divorce from This is Us star Justin Hartley. Additionally, Christine is expecting her first child with her husband. Looks like the storylines for next season have come naturally.
