“Selling Sunset” Star Chrishell Stause Hit Back At Claims That She’s A “Bully” And “Fake Nice” After Viewers Said She Was “Shady” Toward Christine Quinn And Labeled Her The Show’s “Actual Villain”
“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.”

Ever since the latest season of Netflix’s Selling Sunset hit our screens last Friday, Twitter has been flooded with viewers’ pided opinions on all the drama that unfolded.

Among the many ups and downs between the castmates, the lowest point came when Christine began spreading unverified information about Chrishell in the press, at the time that she was going through a very difficult porce from Justin Hartley.

“I just learned Christine is giving press ‘information’ about my porce. 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,” Chrishell tweeted at the time.

It’s also important to note that Christine has clashed with virtually all of the real estate agents at the Oppenheim group, with many accusing her of spreading false information about them to paint them in a bad light. In fact, Season 4 ended with a bang when a bunch of the women — including not just Chrishell, but also Emma Hernan, Heather Rae El Moussa, and Mary Fitzgerald — called Christine out for her apparent lies.

Visibly unhappy with Christine’s snarky comments and lack of accountability for her behavior, Chrishell tried to convince their boss Jason Oppenheim — whom she was dating at the time — to fire her, which some viewers raised eyebrows at.

“Chrishell seriously suggesting Jason should fire Christine is wild. How do people not have any shame when cameras are on them 24/7??” read one tweet.

After Christine asks newly promoted manager Mary if she’ll meet Chelsea and see if she’d be a good fit for the Oppenheim brokerage, Chrishell asks, “Does she actually sell real estate? That’s all we care about.”

Christine replies, “She was selling real estate for about six years, and then she had two babies so she took a year off, and now she’s trying to get back into it. So, like, you don’t need to argue with me.”

Some viewers watching the awkward exchange called Chrishell’s comment “shady” and later praised Chelsea for confronting her about the remark head-on.

“I just wanted to address something real quick,” she began in a series of videos shared on her Instagram stories. “Every single season I see this common thing every time that I’m actually not really nice, I’m fake nice, and that I’m actually a bully.”

“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 [for] a long time. I have kept so many friendships. I try and always be professional,” she said.

“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,” she added.

In line with Chrishell’s word of advice, a bunch of viewers have argued that the reality star is well within her rights to be shady toward Christine considering their explosive past.

“Whats with this ‘Chrishell’s the real villain’ narrative? Are we watching the same show? When you stand up to a bully, people expect you to do it with grace and playing nice. no m’am, f**k that noise,” one person wrote.

“The ‘Chrishell is JUST as bad as Christine because she once made a shady comment towards Christine’ takes are absolutely killing me. The bar for ‘mean girl’ is exceptionally low for Chrishell it seems,” another pointed out.
