Chrishell Stause, the prominent figure on the hit Netflix show ‘Selling Sunset’, has spoken out about her decision to leave the series after nine successful seasons. Stause, who has been a key cast member since the show’s inception in 2019, expressed that her departure is due to concerns for her mental wellbeing.
In a recent interview with Bustle, Stause opened up about her deliberations regarding this pivotal decision. She shared that despite the financial benefits the show offered her, she has reached a point where the toll on her mental health outweighs the perks. Stause, aged 44, reflected on her humble beginnings and the difficulty of turning down such a significant opportunity.
While the future of ‘Selling Sunset’ remains uncertain with no confirmation of a tenth season, Stause holds no resentment towards the show. Despite facing conflicts with her co-stars throughout the latest season, she conveyed her well-wishes for the show’s potential continuation.
Stause took to social media to address her departure, expressing gratitude for the opportunities the show has brought her and assuring her fans that it is not a permanent farewell. The announcement has left fans speculating whether Stause will also be parting ways with the Oppenheim Group, the real estate brokerage featured in the series.
This decision follows Stause’s hints at a possible exit in a recent Variety interview, where she hinted at her readiness to move on from this chapter. The intense nature of the season 9 reunion seemingly solidified her resolve to step away from the show.
Throughout the latest season, Stause was embroiled in several dramatic moments, including heated altercations with fellow cast members like Nicole Young and Emma Hernan. These conflicts may have played a significant role in her choice to bid farewell to ‘Selling Sunset’ and shift her focus towards other projects.
Looking ahead, Stause is optimistic about exploring new ventures and potentially starting a family with her partner G Flip. She candidly shared her experiences with IVF treatment, noting the challenges she faced while juggling the demanding filming schedule of the show.
As fans come to terms with Stause’s departure, they can expect to see her engaging in new endeavors and embracing the next chapter of her life with resilience and positivity. While her presence will be missed on ‘Selling Sunset’, her decision to prioritise her mental health serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-care in the face of professional pressures.
