“I think this is a lesson for everybody to live in your truth and be organic and be authentic and feel like it’s okay to grow and grow into different spaces,” season five newcomer Chelsea Lazkani exclusively tells PEOPLE at the streaming platform’s FYSEE REALI-TEA event Sunday.
“I think that’s what Chrishell is doing and she’s growing and she’s learning and finding new things about herself, and I think that’s inspirational,” she adds, noting that she won’t stand for any criticism about her friends. “Don’t come at me with any negativity because I will cut you, okay? I support my tribe 100%, point blank, period.”
Amanza Smith is one of Stause’s close friends on the show and reveals she knew about the relationship before taping the reunion. Smith jokes that while she missed her own chance at dating Stause — who split from co-starJason Oppenheimat the end of last year — she’s “super happy” for her pal.

“You know, he’s always got me and we bring each other through everything,” Oppenheim says. “He’s had his tough moments, as I think most of the world knows at this point, but… we’re always going to be fine.”
The real estate mogul gives Stause credit for epitomizing “strength” as she shares this new chapter in her life. “I think some people wouldn’t have done what she did out of fear,” he adds. “She’s always been someone who has not shied away from the moment, not shied away from being herself even if it means that she opens herself up to potential ridicule.”
“I think everybody respects that or everyone should respect that. I certainly do.”
