TheSelling Sunsetstar, who’s often portrayed as the series villain, will not appear at this Sunday’s event, a source close to the cast confirms to PEOPLE.
“People were shocked she wasn’t invited,” the source says. “Before this, she hadn’t been axed out or ex-communicated yet. Even in the past, she’d walk at a different time than the cast if there’s been straight up animosity, but never was she not invited.”

Per the source close to the cast, Quinn is currently keeping a low profile in the wake of the snub.
“Christine was told to put a pause on press and stay low key which is hard for her to do,” the source says. “She’s really trying to relax and think about what’s next for her. She needs to decompress.”

Since season 5 dropped, the reality star has been trying to set the record straight about some evens on the show.
During the most recent season, Quinn’s castmate and fellow real estate agent Emma Hernan accused Quinn of bribing a client with $5,000 to stop working with Hernan.
Quinnspoke with PEOPLEin May and addressed the serious accusation.
“Accusing someone of a criminal tort is not only defamatory — but you can’t afford my lawyers,” Quinn said. “So it’s not a funny thing to say. I would never bribe a client. I’ve never bribed a client. I don’t need to bribe a client, because they’ll work with me organically.”
Quinn also told PEOPLE she left the real estate agency where the show is set, the Oppenheim Group, due to her and herhusband Christian Dumontet’s launch of their new crypto real estate venture,RealOpen.
The streaming service has yet to announce a season 6 renewal of the popular reality show or a cast lineup.
