Selling Sunset is losing its star.
Chrishell Stause has decided to exit the hit Netflix show after nine seasons.
“I’ve vacillated back and forth with this decision in the past,” she told Bustle in an interview published on Friday, Nov. 7. “I have to be honest — having come from nothing, it’s really hard to turn something like this down.”
“I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially. I’m lucky to have other forms of employment, because it’s no longer good for my mental health,” Stause added.
Stause previously hinted at her potential exit from the series in an interview with Variety.
“The reunion was so brutal,” she told the outlet. “In that moment, 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.”
Some Selling Sunset fans have sent messages to her on Instagram, sharing their feelings about her on the current season — and most of those messages haven’t been positive.
“Please stop trying to align with Chelsea’s situation… The micro-aggressions directed at her in the workplace are horrible. But, you, demanding that your friend Emma choose between you or her boyfriend she loves? Then airing out her personal business for the world to hear because you’re upset at her boyfriends political views? People can have different political perspectives and still maintain respectful relationships…Completely out of line. I feel sorry for Emma, how you treat her is not that of a ‘concerned friend,'” one person commented on Stause’s pinned Instagram post on Nov. 6.
“Please stop using your ‘victim card’ as you usually do, seemingly to gain popularity and pity. From the beginning, you have been consistently mean to almost everyone: Christine, Mary (who supported you during your divorce), Nicole (you claimed she used drugs), Sarah, Bre, and Emma (an old best friend whom you targeted on social media). Even your ex-husband, Justin, left you via text message to end the marriage. Get out of the show and seek therapy quickly. Do you have any values left?” someone else said.
In her interview with Bustle, Stause commented on the decision to edit out some things that would have “vindicated” her.
“I get it, they want to make a light show. And if I was doing a show with less problematic people, I can totally see their point,” she said, later adding, “there are so many things that would’ve completely vindicated me and my opinion, and they left all of it out.”
The future of Selling Sunset is unclear as Netflix has yet to renew the series for a 10th season.
