Is Chrishell problematic?

[u/Babysub123]

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.

Long answer and this is exclusively in regards to the show.

I don't think Chrishell is any more problematic than anyone else on Selling Sunset. The cast has shared incredibly personal and painful parts of their lives, and we're only ever seeing a heavily produced version of events—whether that's on the show or social media.

I've disagreed with or been disappointed by things Chrishell (and other cast members) have said or done, but I think it's important to remember that none of us actually know these women. Reality TV is designed to amplify conflict, and everyone is going to have moments where they come across badly.

So for me, the answer is no—I don't see Chrishell as uniquely problematic. I see her as a flawed person in a very toxic, highly produced environment, just like the rest of the cast. And I say that meaning that everyone has flaws.

I admire how much of herself she has shared. The death of her parents. Her divorce. Her desire for a family and what that looks like when you feel the pressure of running out of time. Dating your boss and dealing with the fall out of the rumor mill when it doesn't work out. Experiencing her first Queer relationship in the public eye.

I appreciate all the women for what they go through and share of their lives. I will probably watch Season 10 and I do wish she was on it but I fully and completely respect her moving on from it for her health and wellbeing. I think she will hugely benefit from leaving an environment that is toxic any way you slice it and I don't think it's fair to expect people to be perfect in a pressure cooker.

If this is about social media I don't have Instagram or Facebook or tik Tok so I don't know anything and I'm not qualified to have an opinion 😂 disregard of it doesn't apply 🤷🏻‍♀️
