Alanna Gold Faces Allegations of Being a Producer Plant Amid Pioneertown Ownership Controversy on ‘Selling Sunset’

Controversy Surrounds Alanna Gold's Ownership Claims and Alleged Role as a Producer Plant on "Selling Sunset"

Alanna Gold, a star of “Selling Sunset,” is facing accusations of being a producer plant in the latest season of the Netflix show. The allegations have intensified following her false claim of owning Pioneertown, California. Introduced in Season 8 as the newest agent at the Oppenheim Group, Alanna was initially seen as a refreshing addition to the team. However, her intense focus on work has led some to suspect her involvement as a producer plant.

“Mrs. Gold holds a small minority non-controlling interest.”

Recently, the town she purportedly owns has challenged her claims. Alanna told her fellow cast members that she and her husband, Adam Gold, were the proprietors of Pioneertown, California. In one episode, she took the cast to this unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, known for its history as a filming location for movies and TV shows. Although Alanna and Adam do own a small portion of Pioneertown, the local residents issued a harsh statement condemning her for misleading remarks.

“Pioneertown is a mile-square census-designated community with over 400 residents and is privately owned by more than 100 independent parties,” declared Pioneertown on its official Instagram, demanding an apology for the erroneous claims. “Mrs. Gold has a small minority non-controlling interest [in the town]… constituting less than 1% of Pioneertown’s total 640 acres.” Despite their partial ownership, Alanna’s portrayal on “Selling Sunset” exaggerated their stake. Dissatisfied with this misrepresentation, Pioneertown’s community is insisting on an apology.

Are Alanna’s Deceptions Part of a Larger Plot?

While Alanna’s insinuations about being a majority owner were largely implied, the residents are outraged by the widespread dissemination of misinformation about their community. By confronting Alanna’s actions, they are fueling speculation that she might indeed be a producer plant. In addition to the misleading portrayal that elevates her status, other elements suggest her potential role as a producer plant. Notably, Alanna’s absence from the O Group’s website and her inactive real estate license cast doubt on her casting.

Though it’s possible Alanna is a producer plant in Season 8 of “Selling Sunset,” the situation may not be as severe as it appears. Her real estate license may have lapsed due to reasons unrelated to her involvement in the show. Despite focusing primarily on her work in the series, Alanna has mentioned her engagement in ventures beyond real estate, which might be taking precedence over her role on “Selling Sunset.”

With Pioneertown’s residents criticizing Alanna and the show for spreading misinformation, it’s evident that Alanna is under scrutiny for exaggerating her involvement in the community. Although her primary focus on “Selling Sunset” was breaking into the real estate industry with the Oppenheim Group, she has other significant interests contributing to her business endeavors. Regardless of whether Alanna is a producer plant, she owes the Pioneertown residents an apology for the confusion her portrayal has caused.
