Did Tyler Stanaland Have a Fling with Polly Brindle? The Truth Unveiled!
All eyes have been on Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall following his divorce from actress Brittany Snow. But wait, there’s more! During Season 2 of “Selling the OC,” Kayla Cardona has stirred the pot, claiming Tyler and Polly got cozy at the Oppenheim Group. Let’s dive into the drama.
In the new episodes of the Netflix show, Kayla, 34, says she saw a video of Tyler, 34, and Polly, 37, locking lips in the office. Polly had her say during an exclusive interview with Tyler, Alex, 35, and other cast members ahead of the Season 2 premiere on September 8.
“I have seen the video,” Polly admitted, feeling betrayed by her colleagues’ chatter about it. She clarified, “That was an intimate moment between me and a friend. … Honestly, lies were told about what happens in that video. Me and a friend shared a drunken kiss. That was it. Nothing else. There was no hands down pants [or anything else].” Polly added, “People in the office like to embellish to a point that is wildly untrue. And yes, I have seen the video, and it does not show anything that they said.”
Drama in the OC
The “Selling the OC” cast has been no stranger to complicated office relationships. Tyler Stanaland’s close friendships with Alexandra “Alex” Hall and Polly Brindle had tongues wagging when the show premiered in August 2022. Tyler was married at the time!
Tyler joined the conversation, claiming, “Not even the kiss [is in the video], which is the craziest part.” To which Alex pointed out they didn’t have to admit anything. “You could have just lied the whole time and said you never kissed, there was no blackmail,” she noted.
Unfazed by her costars’ denials, Kayla held her ground. “[Polly is] known to be a liar,” Kayla said, adding that she’s not surprised “at all” that her costars denied the kiss was in the video. “There is definitely more [than just kissing].”
TV Shakeup Amid Strikes
While the drama unfolds on-screen, the TV schedule is shaking up behind the scenes due to WGA and SAG strikes. Hulu’s “The Other Black Girl” explores Nella’s journey as the only Black woman at a New York City publishing firm. Exciting, right?
Back to our story, Tyler disagreed with Alex’s claim that the video allegations were “blackmail.” However, he wasn’t pleased with Kayla’s actions. “I don’t think it was used as blackmail per se, but it was kind of used as a smoking gun to kind of bring up some past hurt between certain people and just an unnecessary tactic in my opinion,” he explained.
The Timing Mystery
The alleged video of Tyler and Polly came to light between seasons 1 and 2 of “Selling the OC,” coinciding with Tyler’s divorce from Brittany Snow. The former couple finalized their divorce in July after two years of marriage.
Season 2 of “Selling the OC” concluded with Tyler exploring a romantic connection with another costar — Alex. While they shared a kiss during the finale, Tyler revealed that they are still “navigating our friendship.”
In the world of reality TV, it’s both a blessing and a curse to explore a relationship that starts as a friendship. Tyler reflected, “There’s a lot of things that come with it and there’s a lot more at stake as well.”
And there you have it, folks! The truth behind the Tyler, Polly, and Alex drama. You can catch all the juicy details on Netflix’s “Selling the OC.”
