Selling Sunset Season 5: Is Chelsea Lazkani Using a Fake Accent in the Netflix Show?
Chelsea Lazkani (@chelsealazkani) joined Season 5 of Netflix’s Selling Sunset as a potential new realtor with the Oppenheim Group.
Christine was the one to vouch for her when she met Jason, and she and Christine became good friends. Chelsea, a British Nigerian, worked and lived in the United Kingdom before moving to the United States six years ago where she met her husband and started a family.
However, her accent was considered suspect by fans. Many fans thought she used fake accents during the entire show. A fan tweeted,
chelsea’s accent sounds like she keeps forgetting she’s bri-ish #SellingSunset
Similarly, another added,
Lol I’m sorry but Chelsea’s accent on Selling Sunset sounds like the fake accent we do on spring break. #sellingsunsets5 #SellingSunset
Similarly, some UK viewers have been confused by Lazkani’s distinct British accent, which contrasts sharply with the rest of the line-up’s Californian accents.
One British viewer commented: “This Black British girl on Selling Sunset is killing me so much. Is this how we sound like?”
However, not everyone agreed with this viewpoint, as some supporters defended Chelsea’s accent. A fan said,
y’all hating on Chelsea for her accent is so dumb. why would she lie about being from london? also she lived in the US for 6 years now, her accent is obviously not going to sound the same as when she was in London #SellingSunset
Therefore, Chelsea definitely does not sound like a typical British. However, that does not mean she certainly used a fake accent during the show.
She might have been friends with non-British friends and probably adapted their accents. We’ll get back to you right after we get any additional information about Lazkani’s fake accent rumors.
