PEOPLE chatted with theFlipping El Moussasstar about how “drama free” her life has been since stepping back fromSelling Sunset. She was part of the original cast of the hit Netflix real estate show, which premiered in 2019.

“I love being able to prioritize my family and my happiness and step away from some of the drama thatSelling Sunsetbrought into my life,” Heather Rae tells PEOPLE. “A lot of things happened that I choose not to speak about, but overall I am very happy with how my life is.”
