Is Chrishell Stause truly leaving the drama behind on 'Selling Sunset'? It seems like the answer is a resounding yes, leaving fans wondering what's next for their favorite real estate guru. This news comes after a particularly tumultuous season, and it's got everyone talking. Let's dive in!
This season of 'Selling Sunset' was a whirlwind of emotions, with Chrishell at the center of much of the drama. From the very beginning, the claws came out, with a particularly harsh comment from Nicole Young about Chrishell's late parents. The drama didn't stop there, with many of the other cast members seemingly ganging up on her regarding her fallout with ex-best friend Emma Hernan.
But here's where it gets controversial: despite the emotional toll, many fans still see Chrishell as the heart of the show. Her strong personality and social consciousness have made her a fan favorite. So, the big question is, will she be back for more?
The internet is buzzing with opinions, with many viewers expressing their love for Chrishell. Comments like "Chrishell is the show" and "the show needs Chrishell far more than Chrishell needs the show" are popping up everywhere. But does Chrishell feel the same way?
In a recent exclusive interview with Bustle, Chrishell confirmed that she is, in fact, stepping away from 'Selling Sunset' after nine seasons. She stated, "I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially... it’s no longer good for my mental health." This marks the end of an era for the reality star.
Even before the official announcement, the hints were there. In an interview with Variety, Chrishell mentioned she was "excited to move on from this chapter." Was she hinting at a desire to escape the drama or leave the reality TV world altogether?
She further elaborated, stating, "The reunion was so brutal... I realized I will be done here going forward. I wish everyone the best, but this isn’t the place for me. It felt a little bit like a dog pile." And in an Instagram story, she shared a TikTok from Emma's boyfriend with the caption, "I’m excited to be done with all of this very soon.”
But what exactly happened to Chrishell during season 9? Well, it seems it was a lot. Let's break it down.
During the first episode, after Chrishell called out Nicole's alleged drug overdose, Nicole retorted, "Honey, you’re confusing me with your parents, okay? You seem to be obsessed with drugs.” This comment caused a stir, leading to Nicole's removal from the dinner. Even Chrishell's friends, Mary and Amanza, were taken aback.
Throughout the season, Chrishell and Emma's friendship was strained due to Emma's new relationship with Blake. Chrishell was not a fan of Blake, criticizing his treatment of Emma and accusing him of using racist and homophobic slurs. This ultimately led to their friendship's demise. The fallout was so severe that they still haven't reconciled.
When the issues between Chrishell and Emma were brought up at the reunion, the other cast members criticized Chrishell for posting about Emma's boyfriend on social media. From Mary Bonnet to Bre Tiesi, they all agreed that certain things should remain private. Chrishell responded with a blunt, "Guys, we’re on a reality show. Then don’t do a reality show.”
Another tense moment occurred when Bre allegedly discussed Chrishell and her partner, G Flip, via text. Bre responded with harsh words, and the two former friends had another fallout.
To add to the drama, Chrishell and the new girl, Sandra Vergara, had a rocky start, with Sandra accusing Chrishell of not being welcoming. Chrishell responded to Variety, “I am going to be so open and honest about the fact that I am not here to make friends with you if you get cast on the show. I don’t want you to have that in your head, because I can’t win.”
And this is the part most people miss...
So, will there be a season 10 of 'Selling Sunset'? While Chrishell is moving on, the show's future is uncertain. There's still so much unresolved drama from season 9, so fans are hoping for more.
