Chrishell Stause Admits She Could Have ‘Handled Things Better’ with 'Selling Sunset' Drama

Chrishell Stause is reflecting on her actions in previous seasons of Selling Sunset. 

After being crowned one of Us Weekly’s 'Reality Stars of the Year' on Thursday, Stause opened up to the outlet about things she might have done differently in season 6 — seemingly alluding to her feud with co-star Nicole Young that reached its boiling point last season. 

“Could I have handled things better? Absolutely,” she says. “[But] if you continually put me in those situations and keep turning up the heat, it will probably happen again.”

During the intense season, Stause and Young went head to head while on a girls trip with the Oppenheim Group agents in Palm Springs, Calif. One night while the group was having dinner, Stause said Young was acting “cracked out” and accused her of being on drugs in front of everyone. 

Tensions between the two sparked earlier in season 6 when Young, who was a newcomer to the real estate reality show at the time, claimed Stause took credit for two of her listings almost three years ago.

While Stause's issues with Young still appear to be unresolved, she also hinted at what fans can expect to see between her and the other agents in season 7, which premieres on Nov. 3. 

“The same things that piss me off are [still] going to piss me off. And then the same things I love to embrace and have fun with, I do that as well,” Stause tells the outlet. “As much as people love the drama, it’s also fun to watch people have a good time and be silly. Whether we have disagreements or not, most of the girls have become like family to me.” 

In the season 7 trailer, which dropped last Thursday, viewers catch a glimpse of a fresh feud unfolding between Stause and Marie-Lou Nurk. The basis of the drama? Nurk had been dating Stause's ex, Jason Oppenheim.

As the two sit down at a restaurant together in one scene, Nurk is seen telling Stause, “I just feel like maybe there’s feelings left,” referring to Stause's relationship with Oppenheim in 2021. Stause clearly disagrees and tells Nurk, “I’m losing brain cells on this conversation,” before abruptly getting up to leave the table.
