Chrishell Stause Addresses ‘Selling Sunset’ Fans Calling Her a ‘Bully’: ‘You Don’t Always Have to Be Nice’

usmagazine.com:

Not here for the backlash. As Selling Sunset fans react to season 5 of the Netflix show, Chrishell Stause is speaking out regarding her strained relationship with costar Christine Quinn.“I just wanted to address something real quick.

Every single season, I see this common thing every time that I’m actually, you know, not really nice, I’m fake nice and that I’m actually a bully or whatever,” the 40-year-old real estate agent began via Instagram Stories on Monday, April 25. “Here’s the thing, to all the nice girls out there, listen, you try and be nice, you try and do the right thing.

I’ve worked in this business a long time. I have kept so many friendships. I try and always be professional.”Stause concluded her message: “At the end of the day, you don’t always have to be nice if somebody keeps pushing you and does not respect your boundaries and that is OK.”The former soap opera star barely interacted with Quinn, 33, on the fifth installment of the reality show, which began streaming on Friday, April 22.

Stause was, however, shown telling then-boyfriend Jason Oppenheim that he should fire the How Be a Boss B*tch author for comments she made about their relationship and their fellow cast members, including Mary Fitzgerald and Emma Hernan.
