Is Chrishell Stause Leaving ‘Selling Sunset’?

Chrishell Stause has been catching strays all season long on Selling Sunset Season 9.

For starters, Nicole Young distastefully commented on Chrishell’s deceased parents right near the beginning of the season. Then, up until the recent reunion, many of the girls seemed to gang up on the reality star over how she handled her fallout with ex-best friend Emma Hernan.​ There’s a lot to digest.

This season of the Netflix reality TV series has been incredibly exhausting and eruptive, with Chrishell being tethered to lots of drama. Good news for her, though—despite constantly being pulled into dramatic reality TV tea, the 44-year-old is still seen, by many, as the people’s princess when it comes to the real estate series because of her strong-willed personality and socially conscious mindset. So, of course, everyone is wondering if she will be back after what looked like the most emotionally taxing season for her yet. And aside from the seemingly emotional drainage that can lead us to assume she’s done, from our couches, she’s been throwing out some hints herself that her Selling Sunset era may be finished.

Will We See Chrishell Be Back On Selling Sunset?

The internet certainly hopes so! Myriad comments across social’s praise her reading ”Chrishell is the show.”, “the show needs Chrishell far more than Chrishell needs the show, but does Chrishell want to stay?”

Chrishell recently told Bustle in an exclusive interview that she is, unfortunately, quitting Selling Sunset after 9 seasons.

“I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially,” she said. “I’m lucky to have other forms of employment, because it’s no longer good for my mental health.” What an end of an era.

Even before the announcement, the real estate agent had been hinting on leaving.

In an interview, Chrishell told Variety, “I liked this season,” she said. “I don’t think I had a hard season.” Then she added that she’s “excited to move on from this chapter.” Is she trying to say she wants to move past the drama onto another season? Or move past this reality TV era for good?

“The reunion was so brutal,” the real estate agent said. “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.”

Then, in an Instagram story, where she posted a TikTok uploaded by Emma’s notorious boyfriend, part of her caption read “I’m excited to be done with all of this very soon.”.

What Happened with Chrishell On Selling Sunset Season 9?

Although Chrishell told Variety she didn’t have a hard season, we beg to differ. Between the breakup with her best friend of many years and having someone bring up her late parents, it all seems pretty tough. And that’s not even all. Let’s take a step back.

During the first episode, after Chrishell called out Nicole’s alleged drug overdose at Girls Giving (their group Thanksgiving dinner), Nicole responded, “Honey, you’re confusing me with your parents, okay? You seem to be obsessed with drugs.” This comment sent the dinner into a frenzy, ending with Nicole getting kicked out. Even her good friends Mary and Amanza were appalled.

Throughout the season, we see Chrishell and Emma go through a rough patch because of Emma’s new beau, Blake. Chrishell was not a fan of her former best friend’s boyfriend, and even saying “not a fan” doesn’t give justice to how much Chrishell disapproves of him. From how Blake treated Emma to the racist and homophobic slurs Chrishell claims he uses, this ultimately led to their bestie breakup. This season was filmed last year, and they still haven’t rekindled their relationship today. That’s how deep it is.

Once the issues between Chrishell and Emma were brought to the forefront of the reunion, everyone criticized Chrishell for posting about Emma’s boyfriend, associating him with MAGA, on social media. From Mary Bonnet to Bre Tiesi and even Alanna Gold—who usually stays out of the drama— all put their 2 cents in. TL;DR, they all agreed that certain things need to stay off socials and that Chrishell went too far. Chrishell responded, “Guys, we’re on a reality show. Then don’t do a reality show.”

Another reunion tiff happened with Bre allegedly talking about Chrishell and her partner, G Flip, via text. To which Bre responded, “Here you go with your delulu bullshit,” and “I like G way more than I’ve ever liked you.” Things got fiery. And let’s not forget these two used to be very close. Yet another fallout between The Oppenheim Group girls.

To add on, Chrishell and the new girl, Sandra Vergara, had a fallout before a friendship could even start when Sandra accused her of not being welcoming. In the season finale, Sandra told other cast members that she was unsure if Chrishell even liked her. 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.”

Will There Be a Season 10 of Selling Sunset?

Although Chrishell won’t be back for another season, we’re not entirely sure if the show itself will even return for round 10. As of now, there hasn’t been any news of the show being renewed for another installment. But there is so much unfinished business from season 9 so fingers crossed there’s more to come.
