Emma Hernan'S Cameo On Southern Charm: The Prequel To Selling Sunset Stardom

Emma Hernan's Journey to Reality TV Fame

Before Emma Hernan became a star of the Netflix hit Selling Sunset and wowed us with her Hollywood-ready looks and high-stakes real estate deals, she had already made her mark on the reality TV scene. Interestingly, Emma graced our screens in a blink-and-you-missed-it moment on Bravo's Southern Charm. Yes, that's right – the same Emma who’s now a real estate sensation had her early TV stint in a completely different reality show universe.

The Southern Charm Cameo

For those who were tuned into Southern Charm back in the day, you might remember catching a glimpse of Emma in a party scene. Season three, episode nine, to be exact, which hit the airwaves in late May 2016, featured the Charleston crew taking over Los Angeles. Among the LA crowd, eagle-eyed fans spotted Emma mingling with the likes of Shep Rose, Whitney Sudler-Smith, and Craig Conover.

It wasn’t a headline-stealing guest appearance; more of an 'if you blinked, you missed it' scenario. Yet, years later, the clip resurfaced on TikTok in 2022 and was warmly dubbed a "hidden gem" by fans who couldn't believe their eyes.

"Emma's journey is a testament to the winding paths that often lead to reality TV stardom," shared a representative from Reality Shrine, a hub for all things reality TV.

From Modeling to Selling Sunset

Emma's story didn’t begin with Selling Sunset. She had already carved out a niche in modeling and media, which laid the groundwork for her TV success. Her modeling gigs and burgeoning social media presence set the stage long before she stepped into the cutthroat world of LA real estate.

By the time she joined The Oppenheim Group and became a fan favorite on Selling Sunset, Emma had honed her skills in front of the camera. Her comfort on-screen is a testament to her varied background in modeling and public appearances.

So, while Selling Sunset may have cemented her status in the reality TV hall of fame, Emma’s Southern Charm cameo was an early hint of the star she was destined to become.
