Season 5 of Selling Sunset brought us many, ahem, unique reveals: for instance, the fact that O Group agent Heather Rae El Moussa has never eaten an Oreo or that her co-worker Emma Hernan almost went to the Olympics. But perhaps no agent has led as many lives as Amanza Smith, who lets slip that she was once an extra in an Austin Powers film and also auditioned for the hit early-aughts girl group the Pussycat Dolls.
Of course, We Have the Receipts hosts Chris Burns and Lauren Speed-Hamilton just had to ask Amanza about these name drops during their interview with the cast on the set of the Tudum cover shoot. “[The audition] was one of my darkest days,” she tells Lauren and Chris. “I prepared — I had a dance, I had a song, I had everything. At the time, I was already 31. They go down the line, and they’re like, ‘Say your name, your age and where you’re from.’ And the [women auditioning] are like, ‘My name’s Emily, I’m from Orange County, I’m 17.’” Amanza jokes that she had to whisper her real age.
This week, We Have the Receipts catches up with the rest of the Selling Sunset cast, including Amanza, Heather, Davina Potratz, Maya Vander and Vanessa Villela. And during the episode, Chris and Lauren ask the girls about those other Season 5 reveals. Amanza says she was a featured extra in Austin Powers in Goldmember and is still friends with her on-screen boyfriend; Heather claims she’s now eaten an Oreo, since Chrishell Stause ordered a box for them that day of filming — which she enjoyed.
“But on top of vegan ice cream would be even better,” Heather says.
Also in the interview, Chris and Lauren ask the girls about their dating lives, their best home-buying advice and all things Christine Quinn. To watch the full interviews, watch the full episode of We Have the Receipts below, or catch it on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
