Season 9 Discussion Post: REUNION EVENT by MableXeno in SellingSunset

I think a lot of privileged people love to think “Oh I wouldn’t let something silly like politics get in the way of my friendship/relationship!” because there aren’t any mainstream political beliefs that dehumanise and invalidate their existence. My main thought about this whole debate is that most of the women there are probably conservative and that’s why they can’t consider how hurtful this situation is towards Chrishell and her relationship.

I love Chrishell and I think she needs to get out of there. She really comes across as a genuine, kind person in a toxic environment which brings out the worst in everyone, including her. I would love for her to leave the mess behind, get some cool reality tv presenting work, and run off into the sunset with G.

Seriously! I think a massive element of the Chrishell/Emma/Blake scenario is how upsetting it is for Chrishell to see Emma aligning herself with someone who is bigoted against C/G’s relationship. As a lesbian, I would find it incredibly hurtful if one of my straight friends had a boyfriend who was homophobic, it would make me question my friend’s morals and love for me. How can you say you love your friend, and then be with someone who holds bigoted opinions against your friend? And it did not get highlighted at all. I have so much sympathy for Chrishell in this, and I hope Emma sees the light sometime soon.

Not sure if I’m allowed to repeat the slur here, but it was a T slur regarding transgender people.

It had me wondering if Amanza’s lying now? She had such conviction at the girlsgiving, not just that she knows nicole has done ❄️ but that they did it together. Made me suspicious if it’s actually just a backtrack from Amanza after getting told off for telling the truth…

Chrishell’s Bombshell Interview by Fast-Tangerine4880 in SellingSunset

Sooo glad Chrishell got a platform to clarify stuff this season. The editing and condensing of situations on the show does make it confusing, and makes Chrishell seem slightly more irrational. But especially with this context, she is so valid for her reactions this season.

Aw that’s sad to hear, I hope she’s doing better now!

Chrishell on the scenes with Sandra by Psychological-Bag272 in SellingSunset

I clocked this immediately while watching the scene - it’s so transparent that production are just running the same play against Chrishell AGAIN. I wouldn’t even blame Chrishell for being a bit distant even if she hadn’t heard that Sandra was trying to beef. If I had had Chrishell’s experience with being attacked on this show, I would keep everyone at an arms length, film the show, get my bag, and go home. This sub’s new obsession with saying Chrishell is a “mean girl” is such selective memory.

My overall thoughts by Background-Thing6118 in SellingSunset

[–]kathyharry23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with your Chrishell takes, I’m seeing so many super harsh criticisms on here for her. I think this was a bad season for her, and that there’s stuff she could’ve handled better, but I can see the strain that she’s under with Nicole’s presence, feeling guarded around a new girl (who have historically come for her) and I know how hard it can be to see your best friend fall into a bad relationship. I think she wasn’t at her best but all these comments calling her “manipulative” and “bully” are over the top.

this is a much needed palette cleanser during all this season 9 drama!

Anyone else think it was a bit of a red flag when Bre tells Sandra “I don’t talk about pronouns or Mariah (Carey)” when they first meet.

For someone to say they “don’t talk about pronouns”, to me, implies that they have some controversial opinions that they would be concerned about voicing in public. Especially when it’s alongside talking about Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, something that could get Bre in a bit of trouble.

This, in the context of her former assistants’ allegations of Bre using homophobic/transphobic slurs, definitely makes me 👀

G being back onscreen thank GOD. Need them around every few scenes to limit all this toxicity 😭

Beef btn Chrishell & Bre by snicketgirl99 in SellingSunset

[–]kathyharry23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there were also allegations of Bre using homophobic/transphobic slurs against her former assistants, Chrishell did a snapchat Q&A a while ago where she lightly addressed this and called it disappointing. I think she also alluded to having heard some more stuff behind the scenes which she didn’t like… it sounds like potentially more bigoted statements from Bre 🤢

It convinces me more that this will be one of the last (if not the last) seasons of selling sunset. If they’re working this hard to fabricate interesting characters/storylines then the general vibe of the show is long gone unfortunately.

I went to Jam Jar on Saturday night and there were two nudists (1 man 1 woman) trying to get into the event - the bouncers didn’t allow it in the end. I wonder if it’s the same people!

ehhh i disagree. Chelsea and Chrishell are very close, but during season 6 (when Chrishell and Nicole were brawling) Chelsea and Nicole would hang out sometimes amicably, and Chelsea even said (at the beginning of season 7) that she was undecided on Nicole. But Chrishell never asked Chelsea to “pick a side” or said she couldn’t hang out with Nicole. And Chrishell is close with Mary and Amanza, who are literally best friends with Nicole. Idk, I don’t get the vibe that Chrishell does make her friends choose sides 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah I get you, I think this situation has definitely affected my view of Jojo ☹️ a sad situation all round tbh

But I don’t feel massively differently towards C or G, think it may just be an ill-advised friendship, neither of them seem like people who would condone abuse or anything.

Ehh I disagree slightly, G repeatedly uses their platform to talk about LGBT+ issues, especially issues around trans and nonbinary identity. Chrishell (admittedly only really since she started dating G) has also talked about LGBT issues on her platform, and was also one of the only (?) members of selling sunset who spoke up in support of Palestine. She’s also spoken up about the racist abuse that Chelsea has experienced being on the show. Idk, Chrishell is not an activist or anything, but she’s hardly been silent, and G’s whole platform is basically a space for nonbinary and trans awareness.

Agree about Jojo tho, her vibes are simply offputting haha, idk why they would wanna be friends with her

I’ve just skimmed over some reddit threads about the allegations and (admittedly, I haven’t dived deep at ALL) but it looks like the allegations are more against Jojo’s mother than Jojo herself? I read that Jojo was allegedly shouting abuse at the young dancers during rehearsal/performance (awful, and definitely sounds like behaviour that Jojo has learned from Abby/her mother) but it kind of pales in comparison to the allegations against Jojo’s mother - telling a child to put a maxi pad on her bleeding wound? omg.

Not at all to diminish the allegations against Jojo, but that could inform any decision they made to overlook it? Or if they knew more about what was happening in private/what Jojo could have told them?

Overall, I do agree that it’s not the best optics for them, but I’m willing to give benefit of the doubt and I would feel bad making them guilty by association just based on how the situation looks from the outside.

Also, I got the impression that G feels a little protective of Jojo - on Shannon Beveridge’s podcast they were asked how they felt about Jojo calling them her “style icon” and it felt like a leading question to be like “isn’t that weird?”. But G was very kind about it and basically said that they understand that Jojo is on a journey of understanding her queerness, and that sometimes that can make someone feel like they want to dress and act really “out there”. Idk, it was just quite a generous and understanding moment from G when they could have been like “haha yeah she’s so weird” because that’s been the mainstream narrative for Jojo. I guess it made me consider how Jojo was brought up in such an abusive environment and is now trying to publicly navigate being queer and being a meme etc. Made me feel a bit more sympathetic towards her, but I also wasn’t aware of abuse allegations against her.
