Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause shocked fans of the Netflix show when she announced on November 7 that she was leaving. Now, she’s claiming that Jason Oppenheim previously threatened to cancel the show. Plus, following her exit, Chrishell has unfollowed the majority of the cast.
Chrishell joined Selling Sunset in 2019 for the show’s first season. She quickly became a fan favorite, but she has also been at odds with multiple co-stars. Additionally, she, along with Chelsea Lazkani
, was excluded from the recent premiere party for the show’s ninth season.
Carlos King recently shared a clip from a previous interview with Chelsea, where she discussed the microaggressions she receives from some of her
She continued, “And my intentions are always so pure, like I’m very much a lover. I have no malice in my heart for anyone in the world.” Chelsea went on to say there are undertones of people perceiving her as “aggressive” or as “a bully.” She later began to cry in the interview, and she stated that the same behavior from her co-stars is labeled as them standing up for themselves.
Chelsea also mentioned that her “closest friends” on the show were Chrishell and Emma Hernan, and that they have “leaned in” to support each other.
Chrishell caught wind of the emotional 2024 interview and left a comment. She said, “This is heartbreaking. And WHY you shouldn’t have an all white production company with an exec producer credit and editing power to Jason who has power to say, if you don’t take that out, there is no show.”
Carlos later responded to Chrishell, saying, “@chrishell.stause we love you for standing up for Chelsea and our community as well ”
In other Selling Sunset news, according to US Weekly, Chrishell has unfollowed practically everyone from the show since announcing her exit. However, she is still following Chelsea.

General Hospital adds emotional depth to Michael and Jacinda’s storyline as their lives start to overlap in meaningful ways.
There are moments on General Hospital when you can almost hear the writers grin through the script — the little sideways turns where a story that should’ve been a one-off complication suddenly finds a pulse. Michael and Jacinda fall right into that pocket. On paper, they’re a transactional mess: he pays her to cover an alibi, she’s already knee-deep in Port Charles chaos after helping Nina and Portia dose Drew with ketamine. Nothing about that setup screams romance. Yet here we are, watching them circle each other like two people who didn’t expect to share a frame and can’t quite walk away from it.
Key Takeaways
If Michael (Rory Gibson) and Jacinda’s (Paige Herschell) dynamic feels familiar, that’s because the story is leaning into a
Michael has built this rhythm where he pours himself into being the responsible one — the father, the businessman, the moral line-drawer — but behind all that clean discipline sits this exhausted heart that keeps choosing women who make his life harder. The man is a magnet for chaos that’s wearing lip gloss. (Find out what Gibson thinks about their surprising chemistry.)
Jacinda is chaos in a slightly different key. She’s sharp, defensive, and quicker to pivot than anyone gives her credit for, but she’s also surviving. That’s the thing that feels real about her. She’s not a mystery princess waiting for the right man to buy her freedom. She’s someone who’s learned to read a room faster than most people can blink, and right now, Michael is the room she’s trying to decode.
And that’s where the Pretty Woman shadow starts to stretch a little longer. Jacinda isn’t walking the streets of Hollywood Boulevard, but her past isn’t some soft-focus footnote either — she was a sex worker trying to stay afloat in a city that chews people up faster than it forgives them. Now, she’s sitting behind Nina’s desk with an actual paycheck, a job that doesn’t require survival math, and the one person who opened that door for her happens to be Michael.
It’s not a rescue so much as a pivot, the kind of quiet turning point where a woman who’s only ever been used starts to wonder what it feels like to be trusted. And Michael, for all his polished edges and Quartermaine armor, seems almost startled by how naturally he stepped into that role. The Pretty Woman vibe isn’t in the romance — not yet — but in the way power shifts when someone finally gets the chance to choose who they want to be next. In Port Charles terms, that’s practically a love story in slow motion.
If GH leans into it, the Pretty Woman parallel won’t be about Michael rescuing Jacinda. It’ll be about two people who’ve both been dinged up by life, realizing they might function better together than apart. Not a fairy tale, not a makeover montage — just two broken rhythms finding an off-beat that matches.
And in Port Charles, that’s sometimes enough to start something real.
