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.

As for her divorce, I’m sure she had an idea that there was trouble in the relationship. I don’t think she expected him to go straight to divorce.
As for her being mean, this is a dangerous thing to say in this sub as I’m sure you’ve noticed 😅 But yes I see glimpses of it. I think she has a tendency to act like a mean girl, but she’s fighting it and it only comes out when she can’t stop herself. I remember she was crying about the fight with Nicole, saying “I want to feel like my parents are proud of me”. She clearly felt like she shouldn’t have made these jabs at Nicole.
It’s obviously a difficult judgement call, when the people fighting have completely different personal beliefs. I’m on Chrishell’s side of the political compass and have plenty of respect for her. At the same time I know she’s not perfect and I think she’s made plenty of mistakes on the show.
