‘Selling Sunset’ star apologizes for claiming to own desert town after resident backlash

“Selling Sunset” newbie Alanna Gold has some apologizing to do.

On Tuesday, Gold walked back claims that she and her husband were the owners of Pioneertown in San Bernardino, Calif., after facing backlash from its residents.

“I want to reach out to personally say I am so deeply sorry for the confusion I have caused,” the real estate agent said in a statement, per People.

“I certainly do not own Pioneertown, I never should have said that and I apologize for doing so. I want you to know that I did not mean any harm, I absolutely love Pioneertown and I simply got too excited talking about it,” she continued.

Gold added that she and her husband were inspired to invest in “a home and other properties” in the town because they “wanted to become part of the community.”

“Again, I am so sorry to the people of Pioneertown, I would never want to disrespect the town’s history or any of the people who make it such a wonderful place,” she concluded.

The show’s newest cast member raised eyebrows in Season 8 when she told her fellow Oppenheim Group agents that she and her husband were the owners of the small California desert town.

At one point, Gold even treated some of the ladies to a brief trip to Pioneertown, where she showed off her fancy multimillion-dollar property.

Shortly after the season premiere on Friday, Pioneertown residents responded to Gold’s comments, calling the ownership claims “verifiably false.”

“The baseless claims by ‘Selling Sunset’s’ Alanna Gold that she ‘owns Pioneertown’ undermines 78 years of internationally celebrated film, arts and cultural history,” read a statement posted on the town’s Instagram account Monday.

“These claims belittle generations of artists, neighbors, nature lovers, community members, musicians, small business owners and otherwise magnificent people of Pioneertown.”

They further refuted Gold’s assertion by stating that Pioneertown “is privately owned by more than 100 independent parties.”

“Mrs. Gold has a small minority non-controlling interest in an entity that owns six of thirty five parcels in the Mane Street area, constituting less than 1% of Pioneertown’s total 640 acres,” the residents explained.

“The claim that she owns the ‘entire town’ is verifiably false.”
