The sun may be setting on Selling Sunset – and all because of a nasty rumor.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the hit Netflix series' future is in limbo following Nicole Young's claims her fellow agent, Emma Hernan, had an affair with a married man.
Insiders claim the accusation has escalated into an all-out war between the cast and the show's producers, and it could lead Netflix to walk away.
Emma Hernan was accused of engaging in an extramarital affair by Selling Sunset co-star Nicole Young.
Selling Sunset longtime cast member Chrishell Stause, 43, took Hernan's, 33, side on social media. She blasted Young, 38, for the "disgusting" and "categorically false" lies about Hernan.
Stause also attacked the show's producers, Done and Done Productions, for allegedly not allowing Hernan to respond to the scandal on camera.
She also vowed to never work with Young again on her Instagram story.
Stause wrote: "Are we really still giving air time to LIARS that just want air time?
"I will NEVER work on a show with her on it again. I would rather be sued."
Netflix canceled the Season 8 reunion episode of Selling Sunset amid the drama.
Castmate Chelsea Lazkani, 31, also supported Hernan and accused producers of "spreading lies for views".
Young tried to defend herself from the backlash by issuing a statement online – but instead doubled down on her claims.
She said: "As a married woman, I strongly and confidently stand for the sanctity of all marriages.
"Instead of attacking me and accusing me of lying, I think you (Chrishell) need to ask your bestie (Hernan) some tough questions."
Hernan has demanded an apology from Young amid the affair allegations.
An insider added: "Chrishell, Emma and Chelsea are all threatening to quit and sue the producers for creating fake storylines that are damaging.
"A lot of the cast are saying they're done being lied to and misled for ratings.
"They're resigned to the show closing down and are predicting it will end with a bitter showdown in the courts that could leave everyone flat broke."
And it may not just be the producers who find themselves in court – because following the new allegations in Season 8, Hernan has called the cheating rumors "slander" and "defamation".
Hernan said: "There's zero truth to this. I wasn't given a voice to even defend this and show the receipts, show all the proof."

She continued: "There's zero truth to this. I wasn't given a voice to even defend this and show the receipts, show all the proof."
Hernan ended the interview by demanding an apology from Young, saying: "You're an awful human being, and you owe me a sincere apology.
"Let me just tell you that this isn't over. This is so damaging. What she has done to me. It's disgusting. It is slander. It is defamation."
