Selling Sunset favorite Mary Fitzgerald filed for $139k bankruptcy before joining ex Jasons
SELLING Sunset “favorite” Mary Fitzgerald filed for bankruptcy and owed creditors $139,700 before she joined her ex-boyfriend Jason’s real estate group.
In court papers exclusively obtained by The Sun, Mary, 39, initially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on February 3, 2017, owning creditors $80,600.
She then amended the amount she owed to creditors to $139,700 on March 14, 2017.
One of the creditors included her ex-boyfriend-turned-boss Jason Oppenheim for an automobile loan in the amount of $26,100 for a 2014 Mercedes Benz.
She racked up $57,500 in credit card bills for American Express, Bloomingdales, Capital One and more.
Another massive debt was a judgement against her in the amount of $50,000.
She stated in the bankruptcy filing that she was unemployed at the time.
Her monthly income included $800 in unemployment and a $625 “contribution from boyfriend.”
It is unclear if the boyfriend noted is Jason or her current husband Romain, who she debuted on her Instagram page in July 2017.
Mary was still married to her ex-husband at the time of the filing, she stated in the documents. She listed their separation year as 2012.
She had a combined monthly income of $1,425 and combined monthly expenses of $1,420.
The bankruptcy was discharged on May 22, 2017.
Mary’s financial struggles could be the reason she is considered the “favorite” at The Oppenheim Group, though the other agents in the group believe it is because of their former relationship.
Season 3, Episode 4 of Selling Sunset was titled, “Everybody Loves Mary.”
The women talked about how Mary purchased a new car after closing on one of her listings.
Maya Vander said on the episode: “Jason does feed Mary leads all the time.”
Christine Quinn added: “He does feed her leads all the time. That is for sure… Give us something!”
Maya continued: “It’s his company he can do whatever he wants. It just sucks for us. Tough luck we didn’t date Jason.”
Christine replied: “At the end of the day the favoritism is never going to change.”
In another scene, agent Davina Potratz said: “I’m not really sure why Jason is giving Mary co-listing properties. Maybe it has to do with their personal relationship when they were dating.”
At the end of the episode, he gives Mary a listing for $9,495,000.
Did Selling Sunset’s Mary Fitzgerald get married?
NETFLIX star and real estate agent Mary Fitzgerald announced she tied the knot with Romain Bonnet.

The pair had a French-themed wedding in Los Angeles and shared the good news with fans at the end of Season 2 of the hit.
Maya said in her confessional: “Are you kidding me? We cannot expect Jason to give all of us deals. I’m just saying maybe share a little bit because we all work hard. At times it’s a little bit unfair.”
Mary fired back in her confessional: “Jason and I have been friends for probably 15 years. We dated for maybe a year of that. These girls are trying to take away all of my success and hard work, saying, ‘Oh it’s because they dated.’
