Alex Hall recently spoke out about her relationship with Selling the OC co-stars Alexandra Jarvis and Alexandra Rose.

The new Selling Sunset spinoff from Netflix follows the Orange County branch of luxury real estate agent The Oppenheim Group and features a brand new cast of glamorous realtors, including Brittany Snow's husband Tyler Stanaland.

Selling the OC has just as much drama as you'd expect and the cast in the office seems very divided, perhaps even more so than in Selling Sunset.

Throughout the episodes, Jarvis and Rose, along with fellow realtor Gio Helou, appear to be very separate from the rest of the group and it looks like the tension between Hall and her co-stars has not dissipated since the cameras have stopped rolling.

Hall, 33, told Newsweek that she got the chance to watch all eight episodes of the series before it launched and when asked what shocked her the most about watching the footage back, Hall replied: "How much I got talked about when I was not around!"

"With like Jarvis and Rose, I feel like every single time they're in a frame they're saying my name! Which is hilarious because I hardly...I don't think I actually had any interaction with them the entire time we were filming. Except for the season finale," Hall said.

"For them to be talking about me the entire time was crazy to me. And to have no personal experience of me whatsoever. Literally, whatsoever," she added.

Hall, who is a single mom to a son and daughter, also revealed that it was Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald who convinced her to actually sign up for the show after she had reservations about joining the cast.

Explaining that boss Jason Oppenheim, who owns the brokerage with his twin brother, Brett, told her she should get in touch with Fitzgerald, who is also his ex, Hall said: "I reached out to Mary in the very beginning, before I agreed to go on the show and she was so sweet and she was honestly the turning point for me because I was very reluctant to do it.

"She had nothing but wonderful things to say about the production team and Netflix, and she really eased my worries and any concerns that I had. So after I got off the phone with her I was like 'I'm in.'"

When asked what her concerns were prior to being talked around by Fitzgerald, Hall said: "If it was just me, it would be a no-brainer but I have two children that I obviously have to consider and I want to protect them and, you know, do what's best for them. For me, doing the show was part of me trying to do what's best for us and our family, and creating a solid future for us, but on the other side of that coin is also exposing them."

"So that was a big fear...and then also figuring out...I have a pretty stable career, I'd built my way up in real estate and gotten to a really, really good place in my career almost [just] as the show opportunity got presented to me," Hall said. "I was thinking, 'What's the payoff here? I've got a really good thing going and do I want to be on television and put on a platform for people to just judge me?'"

Selling the OC Season 1 is now available to stream on Netflix.
