Chrishell Stause, known for her role on the hit reality TV show ‘Selling Sunset’, has recently announced that she is ready to leave the show behind. In an exclusive interview with Variety, the 44-year-old actress shared that while she enjoyed her time on the most recent season, she has no plans to continue with the series. Season 9 of ‘Selling Sunset’ premiered on October 29th, and Stause expressed that she is looking forward to moving on from this chapter of her life.

The decision to part ways with ‘Selling Sunset’ comes after what Stause described as a “brutal” reunion for Season 9, which was filmed in August and is set to air on Netflix on November 5th. Stause reflected on her time on the show, stating, “The reunion was so brutal. 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.”
Stause first joined the Oppenheim Group as a real estate agent when the show debuted in 2019 and has been a part of all nine seasons since then. However, her recent conflicts with co-stars and friends, including Emma Hernan and Nicole Young, seem to have played a significant role in her decision to step back from the show. In the Variety interview, Stause shared that her issues with Hernan were not fully captured on the show, particularly in light of Hernan’s relationship with Blake Davis, which strained their friendship.
The actress also addressed a heated exchange with Young during a holiday event, where Young brought up Stause’s late parents. Stause described the incident, saying, “Honey, you’re confusing me with your parents, okay?” The comment deeply affected Stause, who found it unacceptable to bring up such a sensitive topic. She expressed her disappointment, stating, “In the moment, it is hard because these are my parents. That’s a topic that seems off-limits. She brings out the worst in me. Whoever can sink to bring up someone’s deceased parents, it’s pretty unforgivable.”
As Stause bids farewell to ‘Selling Sunset’, fans are left wondering about the future of the show and whether a tenth season will be in the works. With Stause’s departure, the dynamics among the remaining cast members are likely to shift, and viewers can expect more drama and intrigue in the upcoming episodes. The question now remains: who will fill the void left by Stause’s departure, and how will the show adapt to her absence?
For Stause, this decision marks a new chapter in her career, as she sets her sights on fresh opportunities and projects outside of the reality TV world. While her time on ‘Selling Sunset’ may be coming to an end, Stause’s fans can look forward to seeing her shine in new endeavours and continue to captivate audiences with her talent and charisma. As one door closes, another one opens, and Chrishell Stause is undoubtedly poised to embrace the next chapter in her journey.
