Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause opens up about 'humiliating' Justin Hartley divorce
Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause has opened up about her divorce from This is Us's Justin Hartley, saying the split left her feeling traumatised.
The third series of the Netflix original, which is due next month, will focus on the 38-year-old's divorce after two years from the actor - something which she wasn't expecting, and left her feeling blindsided.
"Unfortunately, I’m in a position where more has been shared that I would have ever chosen because this was not a choice that I made,’ Chrishell said on the RealiTea with Derek Z podcast, touching on how it was never her intention for the divorce to take centre stage.
"Nor was this the timing that I would have chosen while I was filming a show, so I’m already in a position where so much has been shared that I wouldn’t have opted for. It’s an embarrassing, humiliating type of thing to go through without cameras and without people judging you, so I just hope people are gentle when they watch."
Ahead of the third season, Chrishell added, "We’re real people. This was a traumatising time in my life and it’s going to be hard for me to watch it myself."
News of Chrishell and Justin's divorice broke in November 2019 after two years of marriage, with People reporting at the time that he had cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce.

Apparently, documents reportedly listed July 8, 2019, as the date of their separation, but the pair had been publicly attending events together (including the Emmy Awards) until November - around the time the third series of Selling Sunset was filming.
Screenrant released an insider report at the time which claimed "people close to Justin and Chrishell are completely shocked by Justin filing for divorce" and that "the couple has always been incredible with no signs of things being on the rocks".
Eeek.
