Ok so I just finished binge watching Selling Sunset and I need to know whhhyyyy?? What happened here? It seems like there HAS to be more to the story?? Show
I have read the headlines and it just says he divorced his wife over text. Am I missing something because although it doesn’t sound nice It also doesn’t sound like that big of a deal. As for texting her, the ONLY thing I can think to give him the benefit of the doubt is that maybe when they fought that morning, he said he was done, but maybe he says that every time so she took it with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, he went ahead and filed and then texted her. So in his mind, it wouldn’t have been over text exactly, but in her mind it would have. I can’t understand how the whole world found out 45 minutes later. Maybe someone at the courthouse. Mostly what I can’t understand is why the hell his friends/new gf are so shocked that it played out on the show. What kind of an idiot files for divorce while their wife is filming a reality show and thinks she will be able to avoid discussing it???? Why wouldn’t he have waited just a few more months? I’ve seen some people say something about money and his NBC contract renewal, but how would waiting a few more months have made it so that he’d have to give C more money? He would just have to split 50/50 whatever he earned in those few months, just like she would, right? Does this hit home for anyone else even tho they haven’t even been divorced?? It’s like you can see how devastated she was when it happened and it’s so heartbreaking! My mom watched it for the first time and she felt like crying , maybe it’s just because anyone that’s gone through heartbreak can relate. For some reason I just really felt for her more than I would for someone else I were watching- and I’d also like to mention how nasty some of the girls were being joking about how she’s not even that famous so she must have been calling the paparazzi to follow her around when the news of her divorce broke Sorry for the long essay! Ok I just went on the TIU sub and searched for Chrishell. There’s a few posts, most from 200+ days ago when it came out in the tabloids. So these were not SS fans but really only knew Chrishell as his wife. It seemed like most of them still sided with Chrishell. All were shocked. A couple of comments pointed to a People article that said J and C’s main issue was that she wanted to start having kids and after he got famous, he wanted to wait and focus on his career. She was 38 so couldn’t keep waiting. And a couple of comments said it wasn’t surprising because they felt Justin probably let his new found fame with TIU go to his head and after S1 of SS came out, he didn’t want to be associated with what he considered to be a trashy reality tv star. They went on to comment how the show didn’t paint Chrishell in the best light and that Justin, with his new big head, probably felt embarrassed by her (this was before S2/S3 aired I think). The tone was shading Justin, not Chrishell. I thought that was interesting because I watched the 3 seasons all together so in my mind, Chrishell was always the star and fan favorite but reading what people thought when it was actually happening was a different perspective for me. Also these two theories combined with the likelihood that he fell in love with his new gf when they were both in Canada that summer, somewhat explains his impulsive behavior to suddenly go file for divorce. If he never wanted Chrishell in the reality show to begin with and he also didn’t want her having kids yet and he also fell in love someone else and he also had zero desire to work things out, well.... if all that’s true, it answers the following questions: Why did he do it while she was filming if he didn’t want it to get out there? Because he didn’t realize the show would get so big and that she would end up America’s sweetheart as she wasn’t in S1. He did it impulsively so didn’t even think about the consequences. Or, He wanted to be disassociated with the reality show as quickly as possible after he saw S1 and actually thought it made him look more respectable or prestigious or classy to get rid of her. Waiting would look like he supported reality tv and he is too good for that. Why did he backdate the separation date? Because he didn’t want her to get 50% of whatever he earned after July 8th- it seems maybe it has to do with the house and/or his NBC contract renewal. And/Or, In Cali you have to be separated 6 months before the divorce can be official and he wanted the divorce to be official ASAP. Maybe to be able to be with the new gf sooner. Why isn’t he giving his side of the story? Because anything he could possibly say right now would only make him look worse. Can you think of anything he could say that wouldn’t get him sued for defamation that would make any of us feel empathetic towards him? Even if he said she was actually a raging alcoholic with split personalities, we just wouldn’t believe it. Why did he do it over text? Because he’s impulsive, he was angry, he was ready to be done with it, and he didn’t want to deal with her crying or having to explain why it’s over (because in reality he had someone else waiting for him, so what could he tell C without giving up a lot of money in the divorce). In other words, he was an angry coward and then his attorneys probably told him to stfu including to her. Did he plan it? Probably over the course of a couple of weeks but not as far back as July 8th because they wouldn’t have been seen at events together and she denies they were split at that point. But he must have had the divorce papers already filled out- it’s a lot of papers! That would let him go file while angry. Otherwise surely he would have calmed down while filling out all the papers and tried to think more rationally about it. Was she blindsided? I think she knew they had issues. They probably fought and made up a lot and it sounds like the baby issue would be a big one. So would her doing a reality show if he didn’t want her to. But she was definitely not under the impression they were about to get divorced and certainly had no idea he was going to file that day and then the world would find out 45 minutes later. So no matter how you look at it, YES, she was blindsided. TLDR: As you already know, Justin sucks and is shady af. Don’t know if this is true but tmz (I know its not the best of sources lol) have said that the main reason Justin decided to divorce Chrishell is because he had just been offered a new contract for his show This is Us which has been renewed for three more seasons, and he wanted to keep all the money to himself. They’re apparently getting payed $250,000 per episode, and there’s 18 episodes per season. He even backdated the divorce fillings to five months previously?! Saying that they had been separated for a while. Even thought it’s clear on the show with the auction and posts on instagram that they were clearly together even after this date. She also stated they separated in November whilst he’s adamant it was July. He’s clearly such a dick!! This probably explains the whole divorce by text message thing too!! I'm so used to eventually finding out about EVERYTHING to do with celebrities so it feels weird not to know what happened. I wonder if Chrishell used her platform on selling sunset as leverage during hte divorce - i.e. agreed to keep quiet for a better deal. if you know anything pls share! signed, nosy. Justin Hartley from SellingSunset It's been three years since Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and This is Us star Justin Hartley ended their marriage and just over one year since they finalized their divorce. But, as both celebs make plenty of red carpet and TV appearances (and with brand new Selling Sunset episodes to watch), rumors about their former 'ship and current love lives are swirling. In May 2021, Justin made his red carpet debut at the MTV Movie & TV Awards with actress Sofia Pernas and shocked everyone with marriage news. Fans noticed rings on *that* finger and, sure enough, they secretly wed, per People. The couple had been dating publicly for five months, but details on their wedding were scarce. Then, Chrishell attended the same ceremony with her Selling Sunset coworkers. Another insider added, "Chrishell has moved on with her life" and "is looking forward to new beginnings." (Think: More reality TV seasons and plenty of multimillion-dollar home sales.) The cameras didn't catch everything, though, so here's what Chrishell and Justin have shared about their divorce: But wait, why did Chrishell and Justin divorce in the first place?Justin officially filed for divorce from Chrishell in November 2019 after two years of marriage, per Us Weekly. He cited "irreconcilable differences" and said that they had separated on July 8. But Chrishell listed the date that Justin filed as the date of their of separation, so it's unclear when exactly they decided to call it quits.
The couple got married in October 2017 after four years together, according to Us Weekly. They were engaged for two years before they actually tied the knot. And this wasn’t Justin’s first marriage—he was previously married to Lindsay Hartley from 2004 to 2012. The divorce filing was a total shock to Chrishell, who shared the drama during the third season of Selling Sunset (more on that in a sec). It’s still kind of a mystery why they broke up.Apparently, the two were struggling, but not so much that people thought they would get divorced. "Justin had been having problems with the marriage for a while," a source told Us Weekly at the time. Still, the insider said, "the divorce filing was a big surprise to everyone around Justin and Chrishell in terms of their friends." This content is imported from poll.

"I’m just kind of in shock with it all,” Chrishell revealed during Selling Sunset season 3. “It’s just a lot all at once because everybody in the whole world knows. I love him so much. This was my best friend. Who do I talk to now?” Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn says they tried couples therapy, but Chrishell refutes these claims."We all just thought maybe they were having communication problems for a while," Christine Quinn told Page Six. "We heard that they were in therapy, so obviously there were some issues going on with them." She also explained why Selling Sunset fans didn't see Justin onscreen. "I think... the understanding that they had is that he [Justin] wanted to be totally private in regards to 'Selling Sunset,' which she [Chrishell] respected," the real estate agent told the publication. "So, we’re never going to see him on the show, and we’re never going to see her talk about him, and I really don’t think there’s ever any resolve, unfortunately.

She tweeted: "Let me be VERY clear. She knows absolutely nothing about the situation and is obviously desperate to gain attention by doing so. Anything from her is either a complete lie or total conjecture on her part." This content is imported from twitter.

According to Chrishell, Justin informed her of their divorce via text message.During episode 6 of season 3, Chrishell tells co-star Mary Fitzgerald that Justin informed her of their split via text. "I found out because he texted me that we were filed. Forty-five minutes later, the world knew," Chrishell says, referring to the TMZ article that first broke the news of Justin's divorce filing. Chrishell said she was blindsided by the text."If that's really what you wanted, there are better ways to go about it," she says on Selling Sunset. Chrishell also explains how she felt like she had no say in the matter and that Justin didn't even give them a chance to figure things out before filing for divorce. "When I think of marriage, I think of, you know, you work on things with people if they're not perfect—no one is, you work on it," Chrishell says on the show. "You talk about it. You don't throw it out... you don't go out looking for greener grass. Sometimes, you have to water the grass that you have, and that's what marriage is." She then adds, "Sometimes it can be hard, I mean I don't think it should more hard than easy at all, but that's why I'm so confused... I didn't feel like that balance was off." The whole experience left Chrishell hurt and upset. "It's hard, it takes a toll on your self-worth where you just feel the anger, 'How could you do it this way?'" she tells Mary in a heart-to-heart. Justin cautioned people against believing everything they hear.Justin went on SiriusXM’s Radio Andy in late October 2020 and kinda-sorta alluded to his divorce. "I think people want to know about other people’s personal affairs, but it’s just, I would just caution people," he said. "I caution my daughter on this all the time. I said, 'You can’t—you really can’t just believe something because you read it.'" View full post on Instagram "I’m really happy with where I am," he continued. "I’m happy with my career. I’m happy with my personal life. I’m healthy, I’m safe. I’m, I mean, all of those things. So, I’m very thankful." Justin then acknowledged that some people really want to read rumors about his love life and said that’s "fine" with him. "If they’re getting entertainment from that, I think it sort of comes with the territory," he added "But I’ve also sort of always had this view that I will live a public [life], but I will be very private about my personal affairs." Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald says Chrishell was “heartbroken,” but “handled it like a champ.”Mary was by Chrishell's side throughout the turmoil of season three, and still has her back on the 'gram and in recent interviews. View full post on Instagram “Chrishell was blindsided and she was put in a very difficult position and she chose to share it with everybody because it is a reality show and it, you know, follows our lives,” Mary told Us Weekly. “So I thought she was extremely strong and she was vulnerable to everything. I thought, I thought she handled it like a champ.” “She took very little time off," Mary added. "I know she was just heartbroken, but she was always positive. She never talked bad about him. She never did anything. I think she couldn’t have handled it [better]. She never played the victim ever. I think she always finds the good in everything.” “It still stings,” but Chrishell is bouncing back.An insider source shared updates with Us Weekly in September of 2020 about how Chrishell is doing. "It still stings that Justin blindsided her like that, but the way Chrishell sees it, that’s something Justin has to live with," the source told the publication. "Her conscience is totally clear." "The past year or so has been a real roller-coaster for Chrishell. Losing Justin and her mom were devastating blows," a source told Us Weekly. She "was knocked sideways for a while by both these setbacks." And the source added, "Chrishell has this amazing ability to bounce back from tough situations even when the odds are stacked against her." Chrishell was literally bouncing while training and competing on Dancing With the Stars. View full post on Instagram She also dated DWTS pro Keo Motsepe for about three months after filming wrapped. "Keo is heartbroken. He enjoyed his time with Chrishell and was 100 percent in it," a source close to him told People after the breakup. Meanwhile, Justin made the split seem amicable.Justin wrote a really sweet birthday Instagram post for his estranged wife just two weeks after he filed for divorce. "Let’s all wish this young gem of a human a very happy birthday!" he wrote next to a series of pics of the two of them. "To many more years of love and laughs!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY @chrishellhartley !!!!!!! !!!!!!!." View full post on Instagram He never appeared on Selling Sunset to share his perspective, but there’s an easy explanation.Selling Sunset is on Netflix, while Justin starred on the NBC hit This Is Us. "I think it was just contractual," creator Adam DiVello told Variety of Justin's absence from the show in August. "We certainly asked many, many times. I think it was just his contract with NBC." Justin Hartley appears as Kevin and Sterling K. Brown as Randall in a season 4 episode of ’This Is Us.’ NBC//Getty ImagesStill, Justin’s “irritated” with Chrishell’s comments on Selling Sunset.Apparently, he’s not too pleased with all the attention their split has gotten, and what Chrishell has said on the show so far. "Justin has not watched the episodes but has been alerted to what is said," a source told Us Weekly. "He’s irritated that she’s airing their private information publicly and knows there is more to the story than is being told. His close friends and family know what really happened, as does Chrishell, so ultimately it’s her choice of what is put out there." Justin and Chrishell finalized their divorce in January 2021."Both parties entered into a confidential settlement as to terms of the divorce, including spousal support," a source told Us Weekly. The ex-couple's agreement is confidential, but a source also said that the pair did not sign a prenup. Chrishell retained celebrity divorce attorney Samantha Spector. And, Justin’s first wife, Lindsay Korman-Hartley, is defending him.She and Justin were married from 2004 to 2012 and share a daughter. Lindsay recently shared a positive message about her ex on Instagram that read: “In a day when social media should be used for positivity… an inspiration towards movement in an honest and deserving way...I’d like to join in, by highlighting my appreciation for my family. Today, I appreciate my ex-husband Justin for not only being exemplification of a solid man, but for being my dear friend and devoted father to our daughter. Simply put; for being family... No matter what conflicts Justin and I had in the past, I appreciate what we have today and I am thankful for the family we have built.” View full post on Instagram Chrishell dreaded seeing her divorce play out on the small screen."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," she told Us Weekly. "We’re real people. This was a traumatizing time in my life and it’s going to be hard for me to watch it myself." Chrishell is also changing her name.She filed court documents to change her last name back to her maiden name, per Us Weekly. Chrishell and Justin both “participated in a Voluntary Settlement Conference” in mid July “in an effort to resolve the issues in the [divorce] case fully and settle all of their claims, future and present.” They also agreed that Chrishell’s “name shall immediately be restored.” Justin first connected with Sofia Pernas in 2020.Justin was spotted kissing his former The Young and the Restless costar on May 28, 2020, per TMZ. She dropped him off at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute and picked him up several hours later. View full post on Instagram It was the first time Justin was linked to a new love interest since his divorce filing. Justin played Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless from 2014 to 2016, Sofia joined the cast as Marisa Sierras between 2015 and 2016, and Chrishell had a recurring role in 2016. Now, Sofia plays Lexi Vaziri on the CBS action series Blood & Treasure. He said he’s “happy” RN.Justin's latest feelings on Chrishell's comments notwithstanding, he seems to be cruising right on through. "I’m a happy guy. I sleep like a baby. I don’t have anything on my mind," he told Entertainment Tonight in July 2020. "I treat people the way I want to be treated, and I have lovely friends who love me, and I love them. And I’ve got this wonderful daughter, and I’ve got a great family, and I am a very, very lucky, lucky individual." Chrishell currently seems to be living the single life.Back in July 2021, Chrishell went Instagram official with Jason Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group. While vacationing together in Italy, the two cozied up together on a boat: ""The JLo effect. 🤷🏻♀️," Chrishell captioned the photos. View full post on Instagram But the two split not long after. “My last relationship was such a beautiful relationship in every sense, except for the fact that we just want different things. There is still a lot of love there,” Chrishell told Women's Health. “I had an old school way of thinking that if you didn’t ride off into the sunset, the relationship was a failure,” she added. “And the relationship with Jason changed my thinking.” While she is still officially single, rumors are swirling that she might be involved with G-Flip, a 27-year-old Australian musician. And, she’s keeping motherhood in mind for the future.In fact, she's preparing to start a family...eventually. Chrishell recently revealed that she's freezing her eggs. "I have taken the steps to freeze my eggs," she told People in September 2020. "I’m going to do everything I can to take that power in the situation, and hopefully, that will empower me going forward in the dating world, so there’s not so much pressure."
