Chrishell Stause and Justin Hartley may get a divorce, but the Selling Sunset star will always have a lot of love for her stepdaughter. In the new season of Selling Sunset – which premiered on Netflix on August 7 – Stause revealed that she wrote a farewell letter to Justin Hartley’s daughter, Isabella, after he filed for divorce. De This is us star welcomed Isabella in 2004 with his ex-wife, Lindsay Hartley in 2004; although Hartley and Lindsay co-parent Isabella were close to Stause with the 16-year-old during their six-year relationship with Hartley.
While I was talking to her about divorce Selling Sunset costar Amanza Smith in the sixth episode of Season 3, Stause broke down crying while talking about Isabella. “What about his daughter, did you talk to her?” Smith asked, to whom Stause revealed that, “I love her so much, and I had to write her a letter.” De Days of our lives alumnus then burst into tears, explaining that the whole situation was “sucking” and that she just wanted to hide “under a rock” until the very end.
In November 2019 Folk told that Hartley had filed for divorce from Stause after two years of marriage. Currently, a source told the outlet that the couple “had problems for a while”, and that they want different things out of their relationship. “In some ways, they are somewhat fundamentally incompatible,” the source said, adding that “Chrishell is really ready to just go straight … and was hoping to start a family relatively soon,” while Hartley “is at some point in his career where he can really explore all the possible options that come his way. ”
On to the new season of Selling Sunset – which was filmed in the middle of the split between Hartley and Stause – the reality star claimed that she was “blindsided” by the divorce filing, and that she only learned it about minutes before the news was made public. “We had a fight over the phone that morning, and … we did not [have a chance to] talk things through, “Stause explained. Before we had a chance to figure things out, he submitted. … He smacked me that we were submitted. Twenty-five minutes later, the world knew. (Bustle reached out to Justin Hartley’s reps for comment on Stause’s claim that she was informed via submission about the submission but did not respond by the time of publication).
While talking about the situation with her costume Mary Fitzgerald, Stause acknowledged that she did not think Hartley was serious about first asking for a divorce. “In a fight, like that’s his goal. Like, ‘I’m out, I’m out.’ I hate that kind of impulsive stuff, but I always just thought it was a problem, we’ll work it through, “she explained, before revealing that she was talking about text messages. “What should I say? What do you say after that? It’s like I have to find a place to live now. Now I have to shake and figure this out, you know.”
Although Hartley did not speak publicly about his side of the story, on August 7 a source told Us weekly that the This is us star is “irritated” by the way its split in is imagined Selling Sunset. “Justin has not watched the episodes but has been warned of what is being said,” the source said. “He’s irritated that she’s disclosing her private information and knows there’s more to the story than is being told. His close friends and family know what really happened, as did Chrishell, so ultimately it’s her choice for what’s there. has been postponed. “
As difficult as it was for Stause to process the “crazy” situation on camera, it has been just as difficult for her to watch it back – especially since her divorce drama takes center stage in season 3 of Selling Sunset. “Unfortunately, I am in a position where there is more sharing that I would have ever chosen because this was not a choice I made,” Stause said on the RealiTea with Derek Z podcast on August 6th. “That was also not the timing I would have chosen for filming a show, so I’m already in a position where so much is shared that I would not have opted for.”
Stause went on to say, “It’s a humiliating, humiliating kind of thing to go on without cameras and without people judging you, so I just hope people are soft when they see. We’re real people. This was a traumatic time. in my life and it’s going to be difficult for me to see for myself. “
