Celebrity real estate agent Chrishell Stause is officially moving on from Netflix’s hit reality TV series, “Selling Sunset,” after nine seasons. In an exclusive interview with Bustle published Friday, Stause revealed that she is quitting the popular show, emphasizing that not even “Jesus Christ himself” or the show’s producing team could persuade her to return.
“I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially,” the 44-year-old reality star and former “All My Children” actor shared. “I’m lucky to have other forms of employment, because it’s no longer good for my mental health,” she added.
“Selling Sunset” debuted on Netflix in 2019 and follows the lives of female agents, including Stause, at the Sunset Strip office of the Oppenheim Group, a luxury real estate agency. Over the years, the series documented not only her professional wins and losses but also her personal struggles, notably her highly publicized divorce from “This Is Us” actor Justin Hartley in 2019. The divorce was finalized in 2021, and since then, Stause has remarried Australian musician G Flip.
During her exit announcement, Stause opened up about tensions within the “Selling Sunset” cast, particularly with co-star Emma Hernan and Hernan’s boyfriend, Blake Davis. She also expressed disapproval with the way the series is edited.
Netflix declined to comment on Stause’s departure or her statements. However, Stause made it clear she holds no ill will toward the show. “The show has given me so many opportunities, and I don’t want to be bitter about it, even though I’m leaving not in the way that I would’ve loved,” she said.
In addition to her reality TV career, Stause appeared earlier this year on NBC’s celebrity competition show “The Traitors.” She also spoke about her personal life, including plans to grow her family with G Flip and her desire to diversify her friend groups. “I just really love being around accepting, beautiful-hearted people,” she noted.
Stause’s departure comes just two days after Netflix aired the Season 9 reunion episode of “Selling Sunset.” On Instagram, she acknowledged that “the season ended on a bit of a sour note,” but expressed gratitude toward the Netflix series and its fans for the opportunities and experiences it provided throughout her time on the show.
