Chrishell Stause Plans to Skip Selling Sunset Season 10 While Keeping Legal Team Ready
Chrishell Stause said she will not tune in to the tenth season of Selling Sunset after departing the Netflix reality show following nine seasons. She said she hopes the new season succeeds but warned that her legal team will monitor it and she will sue over defamation. Stause previously said the series had become damaging to her well-being and that she was financially secure without it.
Stause, who appeared on the Netflix property reality series for nine seasons, has said she does not intend to watch its tenth installment. She wished the cast well and indicated she hopes the new season performs strongly, while noting her attorneys would alert her to any defamatory claims.
She announced her departure in November 2025, after season nine aired that October. At the time, she said the show was no longer beneficial to her mental health and that she did not need its income. Netflix renewed the series for season 10 in April; no launch date has been set.
Stause’s decision could shape how reality-TV participants discuss leaving shows and set boundaries around reputational risk. Viewers may see a cast member publicly distance herself while still wishing the series well, which could influence audience expectations about on-screen conflict and post-show commentary. For Netflix and the remaining cast, the attention may bring curiosity but also scrutiny; defamation warnings may encourage producers and participants to be more careful about claims aired.
