Young said she told Potratz, “Oh yeah, that sounds like a social climber move,” and later admitted to Burns and Hamilton-Speed that she “absolutely said it.” She also tells the hosts that she meant no offense to Hernan and that she was just “making an observation.”
“I was like, it’s social. I’m not talking about any of your professional endeavors. I’m literally just making an observation of a social situation,” she adds. “Here’s the thing too, being a social climber is not a bad thing, It doesn’t make you a bad person.”

After fellow O Group agentChelsea Lazkanispilled that Young had dubbed Hernan a “social climber” on season 7, Hernan was immediately taken aback.
“Is that a joke? Of all the things you could call me… ‘Social climber?'” she responds. “Tell me I dress like a hoe. I’ll take it. But a social climber? I built my own stairs. Thank you, Nicole.” She later confronts Young at Lazkani’s30th birthday partyand asks her, “Do you know what a social climber is?”
“Someone who attaches themselves to someone who has a greater status, so they can gain a greater status,” Young shoots back, adding, “Your victim friend who can do no wrong… You guys are trying to get everyone against me.”
