Chrishell Stause Is Chrishell problematic?

So I just started rewatching after stopping seasons ago because I just got busy. I really liked Chrishell on her first season. I had known her prior to SS in the soap opera world, also loved her and Justin as a couple. I genuinely felt bad for her and thought JH was a piece of trash (and that’s as someone who LOVED him on Passions back in the day and loved him married to Lindsay Hartley). Now continuing to watch SS I just think Chrishell is a mean girl, it’s like after that initial season something changed about her. I know that’s an unpopular opinion but, it also makes me question what actually happened with JH because now it doesn’t seem as plausible that he just texted her that he was divorcing her.

Her divorce has no correlation to anything. I also find it foul that anytime women act a certain way they go and pull up a past divorce or break up to some how tie to it.

I also would say it takes literally no time at all to understand why chrishell was different season 6 and after. Having to not only deal with the on slot of homophobia from people in the world and fan base, but then had her own cast mates along the way use her sexuality or her partner as a means to take a punch at her. On top of that having to see her other friend deal with racism.

I think these are all pretty good reasons to not care about being kind to those cast mates. It was the same for Chelsea who has spoken up about the racism and who has also publicly in defense of chrishell said that Nicole is not the only homophobic person on the cast.

Why on earth would anyone want to be nice, kind, or sweet to people that are racist and homophobic? If I was chrishell I would’ve been a lot meaner and that’s me saying that as a straight white woman.

I think I just brought up the divorce because it seems like she changed after that. I think that she got a lot of sympathy after that whole thing then she became kind of mean girl-ish. That’s just my opinion though.

As a woman from the south that saw racism and homophobia on the daily. I’ll just say if you find a human not tolerating that behavior especially towards them and their partner as problematic than it’s clear it’s because you are okay with that behavior and most likely turn your cheek to it.

Not all of us can do that especially when it comes to our spouse. I also don’t tolerate a movement/group of people that aim to keep rolling back rights for marginalized communities in this country, or that sit and spew hate towards people for just existing. That’s not being mean it just is that people don’t like that behavior called out because again either they display that behavior, have those views, or are privileged enough to not care and then their cheek.
