Chrishell Stause brought serious star power to the Love Triangle 2025 Reunion — and she didn’t shy away from calling the men out for their shocking behaviour, something she says she learned during her time on Selling Sunset.
Chrishell, who has been the main character on all eight seasons of the drama-fuelled Netflix show, said that it took her a while to feel confident enough to stand up for herself. So, going into the Love Triangle Reunion, she wanted to use the skills she’d learnt over the years and make it clear who was in charge.
“I was the biggest person of thinking of what I wanted to say after [the fact] — once it was already over. And I think just being in the situation and the environments I’m in, I had to learn quickly and on my feet,” she explained.
“I think that that was why I was able to stay calm and try and, you know, be in charge of this situation that very quickly could get out of hand and go wild and go left.
“I really wanted to have that kind of power position, a little bit, so that there would be respect there.
“Because you can see that this is the kind of situation that if you don’t have that, then it’s kind of like with children, if you don’t establish a little bit of authority, they’re just going to — like with a substitute coming in — they’re going to be wild. So I wanted to kind of have a little bit of separation.”
And, Chrishell didn’t disappoint. When Chloe revealed that Bernie has dumped her the night before the Reunion, after palming off his Love Triangle matches Jazmin and Marissa, the host called him out for clout chasing, and being a fuckboy. Bravo!
How Chrishell established a powerful dynamic during the Love Triangle Reunion
Chrishell has been in her fair share of Selling Sunset Reunions and hosted Netflix’s Reality Games, so she’s no stranger to being in the hot seat — or putting others in it.
But, going into the Love Triangle Reunion, she said that there was a plan in place so that she didn’t form any personal connections with the contestants ahead of the interview that would stop her from hitting them with the hard questions.
“They didn’t let us talk a lot before, and I think that that helped, because I’d want to be friendly with them if I met them. In any other circumstance, I’d be like, ‘Hi. How are you? Nice to meet you, I love your dress.’ You know, all these things, but it was important for me to be able to keep that distance a little bit so that when I see something, I can call it out.
“I didn’t want to feel like, ‘Oh, I really like them and oh, they’re really charming. So let me not say that’. I just didn’t want to have any biases, and you see someone like Bernie is the perfect example. He would have loved to have charmed me beforehand, so that I was on his side,” she laughed.
