Chrishell Stause isn’t buying what these missions on The Traitors are selling. The Selling Sunset star had a difficult time during the Feb. 6 episode of the Peacock competition series, comparing the latest challenge to her first marriage to Justin Hartley.
During the mission, the remaining Faithfuls and Traitors were tasked with holding hands with a partner in a glass box for eight minutes while insects, critters, bugs and even snakes were poured and draped all over them. As Chrishell—who was married to the This Is Us actor from 2017 until 2019—joked to partner Dolores Catania, “This is worse than my first wedding.”
The 43-year-old ended up pulling her hand out of the glass box before the first insect touched her hand, eliminating herself and the Real Housewives of New Jersey star from the mission—and leaving them at risk for being murdered by the Traitors. The All My Children alum—who has been married to Australian singer G-Flip since 2023—had previously been open about the difficulties in her marriage and subsequent divorce on Selling Sunset. “Before we had a chance to figure anything out, he filed,” Chrishell said on season three of the Netflix reality show. “I found out because he texted me that we were filed. Forty-five minutes later, the world knew.”
“I’m trying to keep it together,” she added, “but it’s a lot at once because everybody in the whole world knows at the same time I knew.” A year after finalizing her divorce in 2021, the former Celebrity Karaoke Club star shared some insight into her decision to discuss her breakup from Justin—who went on to tie the knot with Sofia Pernas in 2021—on reality TV.
“That was obviously very humiliating and the fact that I still had to film a reality show, it was either that or quit,” she said during a 2022 episode of the Lipstick on the Rim podcast. “But all of a sudden, I just lost everything, and I didn’t want to lose the one thing that I worked really hard to have, which was my job and a new career, and so I pushed through.” As difficult as it was to open up, Chrishell found comfort and community in sharing her story.
“That show coming out—people then connecting with me in the middle of a pandemic and sharing their stories with me—has completely changed my mindset of being open about things versus not,” she explained. “I think transparency is so much better than trying to pretend your life is perfect.” Keep reading for more on Chrishell and G-Flip’s relationship.
