"Selling Sunset"'s Bre Tiesi Talks Beauty, Business, and Being Controversial

According to "Selling Sunset"'s Bre Tiesi, you either love her or you f*cking hate her – there is no in between. The latest cast member to join Netflix's hit real-estate show, Tiesi promises to bring the glam, the sales, and, of course, the drama. The star, who welcomed a baby boy with Nick Cannon last June, says as someone who was born and raised in Los Angeles, she's always been in "the industry."

"I did bottle service; I kind of was always in the scene, and I built such amazing relationships," Tiesi tells POPSUGAR. "When people would come into town for bottle service from Europe or out of the country, they'd ask me for a rental for the summer. They'd ask me for cars, or they'd get an investment property here. I was referring out all of this business, which didn't make any sense to me. So I was like,'F*ck it, I'm gonna do it all.'"

It was then that Tiesi decided to get her real-estate license and, after realizing how lucrative it could be, pursued the career full-time. She started out at Keller Williams Beverly Hills but later joined the Oppenheim Group, which eventually led her to "Selling Sunset."

Needless to say: she's busy. As a new mom, Tiesi has had to figure out how to balance filming for the show and her personal life. "Everything is last minute and all over the place," Tiesi says. "You could work a double, which means you could have two scenes back to back, and for me, having a new baby, I didn't film as much as the other girls. It's a hard schedule. I get up at 6:30 a.m. and it's two and a half hours of glam, and it's an hour there and back for me to drive, and then you're shooting for five or six hours at least, and we're filming at least four days a week."

To keep everything looking flawless during the long hours of filming, Tiesi says she relies on her team. "My makeup artist is a magician. I won't let anyone else touch my face except her, and I could sleep in my makeup and wake up the next day and look exactly the same." (For the record, Tiesi's makeup artist uses the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray ($38) to make sure her makeup stays put.)

Plus, she's always got a few go-to products with her at all times. "I love the Bedhead Hair Wax Stick ($27). I have the craziest flyaways, especially when filming. I love the KKW Liner and the Fenty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer ($21). I would say those are my go-to lip combo. And then the Mac Prep & Prime Fix+ ($31). I'll spray multiple times, but otherwise my makeup is flawless. That gives me a little bit more moisture because I'm so dry."

As for what we can expect from her this season, Tiesi says regardless of what's going on, you'll see her being true to who she is. "I'm kind of a controversial type of person. You either love me or you f*cking hate me, there's no in between. I'm very outspoken. I upset people sometimes; it's just my pure existence."

Still, when it comes to how she think viewers are going to perceive her this season, Tiesi is thinking positive. "I think I come off as the boss I am," she says. "My work and the way I move speaks on its own." That's not to say there won't be controversy. "There's going to be sides to this season because of the drama with Chelsea [Lazkani]. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds, because I think that even if you don't agree with my personal relationship, you do see a lot of my mindset and who I am and that I'm genuinely happy."

Tiesi is likely referring to the explosive season six trailer, in which Lazkani can be seen saying, "As a Christian, I find Bre's relationship rather off-putting." "Who I have children with is my business," Tiesi says in the same trailer. "I don't need a judge and jury."

Tiesi later tells us that she thinks a lot of people can't relate to how she lives her life because they don't know what truly makes them happy. "They don't have the confidence to live the way that they want to live. I'm hoping that's more of what's taken from this instead of people trying to paint it like my partner is a bad dad and a bad person."

Regardless, she knows who she is. "I'm very true to who I am, I'm very confident in who I am, and when you're around other women that don't agree with decisions you've made, I seem to get under people's skin, and I find it entertaining."

When all is said and done, Tiesi has watched some of the season, and she says she's content with how it turned out. "I'm happy with how I was portrayed professionally, and my relationships with the girls I have relationships with. I was a little off-put by some of the stuff that was dramatized, and just how much of the narrative was based around me, [and] my personal life. I don't want to give too much away because it's good. It's definitely juicy."

As for what exactly goes down, we'll just have to tune in to find out. Season six of "Selling Sunset" airs May 19 on Netflix.
