Bre actually claimed Chelsea knew about the cheating allegations before filming even started and that she had a conversation with her off-camera.

“I told her months before we filmed,” she noted to E! Sept. 26. “I told her before Amanda was even coming on, and I let her know production asked for this lunch.'”

However, Chelsea tells a different story.

Alleging Bre “didn’t have a storyline” this season, Chelsea told Jessie Woo in a Sept. 9 Instagram Live, “Bre made it very clear that she had something on me,” told production, “and that’s why they gave her the scene with Amanda.”

After allegedly hearing about the Amanda sit-down from Emma, Chelsea said she asked production to set up a scene between herself and Bre so she could hear the rumor from her directly before it spread any further.  

“I said, ‘This is gonna be a storyline,'” she added. “So I said to production, ‘I want Bre to tell me. The last thing I want is for this s–t to go around to 10 other people at the office before it comes to me.’”

“I sat there and watched her be a ‘girl’s girl’ and make out like she wanted to give me the heads-up for a scene that I f–king orchestrated,” Chelsea continued, “because I knew the flip side could have been a lot uglier.” (E! News reached out to Netflix for comment but has yet to hear back).

As for how the chatter played a role in her subsequent divorce, Chelsea insisted to Entertainment Tonight that the rumor “has nothing to do with the deterioriation of my marriage.”
