""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." According to Stause, show creator Adam DiVello has been calling and texting "100 times a day," but she's at a point now where even "Jesus Christ himself" couldn't get her to come back for a tenth season."
"For Stause, a major concern is that the season 9 edit makes her look like "an overbearing friend" to Emma Hernan and leaves out context that would've "completely vindicated" her opinion. The duo previously clashed over Hernan's boyfriend, Blake Davis, who Stause alleges once compared being nonbinary to having a mental illness (Stause's partner, singer-songwriter G-Flip, is nonbinary) and has said "horrific things" to Hernan, including jokes that he would "beat" her."
"So what's next for Stause? She thinks she'll probably hang out with less straight people from now on, though she does love and want to be around allies who "will stand up and fight with us and use their voices." While she said she already came to season nine with "bossy lesbians" as her wardrobe inspo, she suspects that her outfits after Sunset will "probably be more gay.""
Chrishell Stause is leaving Selling Sunset after nine seasons, citing mental health concerns and financial independence. Persistent outreach from show creator Adam DiVello reportedly occurred, but Stause declined any return, stating even 'Jesus Christ himself' could not persuade her. The season nine edit is a major grievance, described as portraying Stause as an 'overbearing friend' and omitting contextual information that would have vindicated her perspective. Conflict with Emma Hernan and Hernan's boyfriend, Blake Davis, involved alleged demeaning remarks about nonbinary identity and alleged threats and jokes of violence. Stause expresses no ill will toward the show and plans to pursue queer-inclusive projects and personal stylistic changes.
