Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause shocked fans of the Netflix show when she announced on November 7 that she was leaving. Now, she’s claiming that Jason Oppenheim previously threatened to cancel the show. Plus, following her exit, Chrishell has unfollowed the majority of the cast.
Chrishell joined Selling Sunset in 2019 for the show’s first season. She quickly became a fan favorite, but she has also been at odds with multiple co-stars. Additionally, she, along with Chelsea Lazkani, was excluded from the recent premiere party for the show’s ninth season.
Carlos King recently shared a clip from a previous interview with Chelsea, where she discussed the microaggressions she receives from some of her Selling Sunset co-stars. In it, she said, “I’ve struggled a lot. I often don’t feel heard or seen. I feel like when I am heard, I’m misheard, and I feel like a lot of my mannerisms and my natural dialect, my natural personality and persona are always misconstrued.”
She continued, “And my intentions are always so pure, like I’m very much a lover. I have no malice in my heart for anyone in the world.” Chelsea went on to say there are undertones of people perceiving her as “aggressive” or as “a bully.” She later began to cry in the interview, and she stated that the same behavior from her co-stars is labeled as them standing up for themselves.
Chelsea also mentioned that her “closest friends” on the show were Chrishell and Emma Hernan, and that they have “leaned in” to support each other.
Chrishell caught wind of the emotional 2024 interview and left a comment. She said, “This is heartbreaking. And WHY you shouldn’t have an all white production company with an exec producer credit and editing power to Jason who has power to say, if you don’t take that out, there is no show.”
Carlos later responded to Chrishell, saying, “@chrishell.stause we love you for standing up for Chelsea and our community as well 🙏🏽🌈”
In other Selling Sunset news, according to US Weekly, Chrishell has unfollowed practically everyone from the show since announcing her exit. However, she is still following Chelsea.
