Chrishell Stause is the ally we want and deserve.
Season seven of the hit reality series Selling Sunset returns this week and we just got a sneak peek clip that is a reminder of why Chrishell Stause is and will forever be the show's number one star.
In the clip, Stause is having a sit down with Marie Lou-Nuerk, girlfriend of her boss Jason Oppenheim, who also just so happens to be Stause’s ex. Since splitting from Oppenheim, Stause has moved on to a bigger and better romance with nonbinary singer G-Flip, after the two met on the set of a steamy music video. She has since nurtureda friendship with Oppenheim and it appeared that the four of them (Stause, Oppenheim, and their respective partners) had become friendly, even vacationing in Australia together. ‘
Well, from the looks of this new clip that friendship is over — especially when Lou-Nuerk accidentally misgenders Stause’s spouse.
The video sees a sit-down between Lou-Nuerk and Stause, with the former seemingly confronting Stause about not putting any effort into their friendship and not asking her any questions. In response, Stause points out several questions “we” asked. Lou-Neurk responds that was all G-Flip doing the asking — then accidentally misgenders the nonbinary artist. The subtle change in the expression on Stause’s face at that moment says it all. Stause proceeds to swiftly shut down a shocked Lou-Nuerk.
“Okay, my partner is non-binary,” explains Stause. “They use ‘they/them’ pronouns. This is a simple thing.”
Lou-Neurk immediately apologizes but Stause is not done yet. “This is the depth of our relationship, where the most important person in my life, you don’t know their pronouns. Which is totally fine, but my point is that you also don’t know me,” she says.
“I’m not gonna be your friend like I don’t have anything in common with you. I feel like I’m losing brain cells on this conversation.”
Making all of this more awkward is Oppenheim who is on speakerphone repeatedly begging to be let off the call.
This is camp, honey. This is gay culture. This is allyship. And this has us beyond excited for season seven which drops on Netflix this Friday. And we’re not alone, fans on social media are singing Stause’s praises for the calm, cool, and collected way she handled this conversation.
