Selling the OC’s Austin breaks silence on Sean’s threesome claims
Austin Victoria has released a statement on his feud with Selling the OC co-star Sean Palmieri. The Selling Sunset spin-off, following a group of agents at the Oppenheim Group’s Orange Country real estate brokerage, delivered some unexpected queer drama in its newly-released third season.
In episode three, Sean claimed to his co-stars Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Harper that Austin and his wife Lisa invited him over to their house, where they were a “little bit flirty” with him and propositioned him for a threesome.
A separate scene showed Austin informing his wife about the rumour, which he shut down: “His story is he come over, we ‘drugged him’ with marijuana cookies and tried to have a three-way with him.” Austin and Sean later had a heated confrontation in the office, where the former vehemently denied that such a proposition took place.
After Sean doubled down on his story, claiming Austin told him, ‘If I wasn’t married, the things I’d do,’ Austin described him as “disgusting” and “not hot”. “I would never f**king wanna hit on you,” said Austin. “You’re the last person I would ever hit on.” In an Instagram statement (7 May), Austin “set the record straight” on Sean’s claims, saying the “truth will always prevail”.
