Chrishell Stause Reveals the Surprising Way Justin Hartley Told Her He Filed for Divorce
The third season of the Netflix reality series Selling Sunset premieres this weekend and it will follow Chrishell Stause‘s divorce from This Is Us actor Justin Hartley.
A new clip from the season has been released and Chrishell, 39, opens up about the way she found out that Justin, 42, had filed for divorce.
“I found out because he text[ed] me that we were filed. Forty-five minutes later, the world knew,” Chrishell said through tears during a conversation with co-star Mary Fitzgerald.
“Because of the crazy way in which this went down, people want answers, and I f—king want answers,” Chrishell said in the clip. “I know people are saying we were only married two years, but it’s like, we were together for six years. … In a fight, that’s his go-to, you know? Like, ‘I’m out, I’m out.’ I hate that kind of impulsive stuff, but I always just thought, you know, that’s just an issue that we work through it.”
Justin filed for divorce on November 22, 2019, but Chrishell didn’t think he was actually going to do it.
“If that’s really what you wanted, there are better ways to go about [it],” she said. “I talked to him right after ‘cause I thought that must be a joke, but that was kind of the end of the communication. What am I supposed to say? What do you say after that? It’s like, now I have to find a place to live. Now I have to scramble and figure this out, you know?”
“When I found out, I was minutes before leaving the house for work, so I immediately just grabbed a few things and I just got out of there as fast as I could,” she continued. “I don’t think I really knew where I was going or what I was gonna do, but I just had to leave… It’s so weird. Like, whose life am I living? I’ve never had an attorney in my life.”
Justin is now dating one of his former co-stars.
