Chrishell Stause Exits Selling Sunset, Threatens Lawsuit

Chrishell Stause has departed from the reality series Selling Sunset after nine seasons, announcing her decision in November 2025. She stated she will not be watching the upcoming tenth season, expressing a desire to move on from the show, which she feels is no longer beneficial for her mental health. Stause indicated she is financially independent and seeks projects that resonate with her on a deeper level.

While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Stause clarified that her departure is not negative and she wishes the cast well. However, she humorously threatened legal action for any defamation, stating, "I will sue you." She also highlighted past conflicts during the ninth season, particularly concerning Emma Hernan's boyfriend and his controversial statements. Stause is now focused on new opportunities, working both in front of and behind the camera in new show developments, with more details to be shared soon.

The series Selling Sunset was renewed for its tenth season in April of this year, though an official release date has not yet been announced. Stause's exit marks a significant shift for the popular real estate drama.
