Selling Sunset's Jason Oppenheim has said that Christine Quinn's exit provided the show with a 'breath of fresh air' and that fans had become bored.
The real estate boss, 45, said he felt viewers were "tired" of watching Christine's drama and confrontation unfold on the hit-Netflix docu-series.
He reckons Selling Sunset fans may have become bored of watching Christine play the constant villain against her fellow castmates.
"I think people were tired of watching that dynamic continue season after season," he explained. "[Her exit] provided a breath of fresh air for the office and for the show."
Since the show launched in 2019, Christine has come up against most of the other agents, including Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae Young and, famously, Emma Hernan.
During season five, Emma, 30, had claimed that Christine 'bribed a client' with $5,000 to quit working with her, something she strongly denies.
Jason says he's more than happy to move on from that particular bit of drama, telling Page Six: "It’s not the type of drama that I enjoyed being a professional real estate broker."
He told the outlet: "I wasn’t happy with the types of issues [about Quinn] being brought to my attention. I think it ran its course."
Christine left Oppenheim Group and the hit-Netflix programme to launch a crypto currency real estate business with husband Christian Dumontet earlier this year.
Jason says he has "never had my own personal issues" with Christine other than "the fact that I recognized that she had a lot of other issues with other cast members".
He says that he wishes her the best and knows she is "doing great things".
It comes after Christine's co-star Chrishell appeared to draw a line under their drama.
The TV star appeared on ITV's This Morning to promote her new Lipsy London Christmas collection but also mentioned her feud with the former reality show star.
The pair never saw eye to eye on the programme, but it seems only now that Christine has left that they are able to move on.
Phillip Schofield brought up the subject of Christine while speaking to Chrishell, noting that she has 'gone now'. Chrishell agreed that this was true while Phillip went on to suggest that she was 'happy about that'.
Chrishell said: "I'm not in charge, I think she made her own bed."
