Chrishell Stause knows how this works.
This interview has been edited and condensed.
Its supposed to look really masculine and modern, but to me it just looks like an empty mall.
Im not into that, and its very popular here.
I got sent an early manuscript of your book and Ive already started reading it.
I learned in the first few pages that the story ofyou being born at a Shell stationis incorrect.
Can you elaborate?Its so funny.
I was not born in a Shell station.
I hate to disappoint people that think I was.
Obviously she couldnt drive to the hospital then, so the ambulance came.
I made it to the hospital, but she wanted to name me after him.
He worked at the Shell station, so she just thought Chris, shell lets stick them together.
And you know, Chrishell was born, quite literally.
Have you seen the final cut of season four?I just did.
Its always so nerve-racking before I know whats going out.
We really get no say.
Were like,Buckle up, here we go.
I think its our best season yet.
I was very pleasantly surprised.
Of course, it gets messy, as you know.
That was a little surprising.
Its funny to watch from a birds-eye view.
When youre in it and living it, you miss some things.
I noticed some of the partners getting involved this season.
What decisions go into whose partner gets involved?
When you were married to Justin, he wasnt on the show.I think its their own personal decision.
I think [the producers] would welcome that.
But not everybody wants that.
Its not suited for everyones job, so it makes sense that not everybodys dying to jump in there.
And sometimes when something is under your skin, its like, honestly, that really is me.
They like to get the pot nice and hot and then throw us all in it.
How did you avoid throwing him into the sea?Oh my God, that was so uncomfortable.
Its still uncomfortable, cause Im like,Oh my God, hes going to see this.
It really truly was awkward.
But in the moment, it seemed crazy.
And then he wouldnt let me out.
It was a lot of not-great stuff.
So the big news is you and Jason are now an item.
We were trying to keep it private and see what it was.
Relationships you never know what it is in the beginning.
You dont need a whole bunch of random peoples opinions on top of it.
She was like, Whats going on?
So our group that was going on this trip ended up knowing.
We had been together for a couple months and we were like,Lets just get it over with.
You dont care about peoples opinions when youre traveling to Greece and Italy.
Did you worry about it changing the dynamic at the office?
Were there working together whether the cameras are there or not.
For the most part, its a really supportive group, but also, were so busy.
I have to give away listings and referrals constantly.
If he was like, c’mon take this listing, I would say, I cant.
I wanted to talk about Christine.
In the finale, you were talking about her trying to ruin your life.
In that moment, what were you thinking of specifically?
I felt that way when I watched as well.
And this was right after my mom died.
Both parties knew that is not what happened.
She takes it as an opportunity to fill in some blanks that were blatantly untrue.
It was many steps too far for me.
We deal with a different side of her when the cameras arent on.
Nothing she does on-camera surprises me.
But its also the bed that you made.
If you came to people and said,Listen, I did that.
I was in a bad place and I messed up, I think that would go a long way.
But theres been none of that, and then continued behavior.
And I also prefaced with where we are today.
I told her, Thats not where we were.
I hadnt seen you after that happened.
I then didnt speak to you or talk to you.
It doesnt sit well with me if they dont match.
So thats where I was coming from.
I stand by everything I said.
Thats how I felt.
She was literally [just] at my Friendsgiving.
She didnt say anything about it, so I didnt.
But in real time thats how I felt.
I didnt realize she was going to see you.You just stirred the pot, Anne.
