'Selling Sunset' Drama: Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan's Feud Explained After the Show's Explosive Season 9 Reunion

Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan are on the outs.

The former besties formed a friendship when Hernan joined Selling Sunset Season 4. In an interview with Women's Health, Hernan confirmed she and Stause "really, really bonded."

"I trust Chrishell with my whole heart and tell her things about my life that you would only share with family," she continued.

She also told another news outlet she was closest with Stause and Mary Bonnet, adding, "But that's nothing against anyone else. I just happened to know them prior to even getting super involved in real estate."

Hernan was first spotted with a mystery man, later identified as real estate agent and developer Blake Davis, during an outing in Los Angeles in July 2024. Davis confirmed they began dating in December 2023.

However, Stause admitted she was not a fan of her then-best friend's boyfriend.

"A scene where Emma introduced us to who she actually WAS dating. This was pretty funny bc I didn't like him. So maybe it's for the best 😆😅," she shared in an Instagram post.

Feud rumors started circulating after Stause and Hernan attended Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour in May.

Following their final public appearance together, a fan asked Stause, "Whats happening with you and emma? hot topic on reddit."

She then confirmed their feud, replying, "Ask her about her MAGA bf who told me pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word. I just can't with that. Too old to allow that in. But love her from afar."

Selling Sunset Season 9 focused on Stause and Hernan's bad blood, including the latter's refusal to tell her ex-BFF if she and Davis get engaged.

"She f------ hates him," said Hernan.

In an interview with Variety, the All My Children alum spoke about Davis and the "many red flags" she noticed when she met him.

"I found real things to be dangerous with his personality," she said. "He recently posted about how he was going to sue my d--- off. This isn't a normal person. Anybody who meets this man is not going to want their friend to date him. Of course, he wasn't like that on camera. He acted one way to me. Then, he came on camera and flipped the script."

She added, "He just would say these extremely problematic things. I have a deep core issue with people who think that way, so it was upsetting. Even though he was being nice, he compared people being nonbinary to mental illness. That's my partner, whom I love dearly."

According to Stause, Hernan "made it very clear what her morals are, and [they] do not align."

After their rift escalated in Season 9, Stause and Hernan bickered nonstop over Davis again during the reunion, which was filmed in August.

When the Emmy-nominated actress made claims about Davis, Hernan denied them and pointed out that she received hate after Stause called him a MAGA. She appreciated Stause's apology, but she accused her former friend of fomenting online harassment against her.

"You are attacking my character by associating me with a person that I was struggling with," Hernan continued.
