The relationship between Selling Sunset stars Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause was basically over before it began. Yet somehow we spent two entire seasons on this mess. This is why we need Christine Quinn to stick around. There’s next to nothing else going on with this show.
Jason and Chrishell were announced as a couple before Season 4 of the show aired. Though these two were only just beginning their love story as the season came to a close, they were broken up before fans could see their fireworks in Season 5.
This meager relationship could barely maintain itself as a storyline, to be honest. The pair didn’t even film their breakup. The disrespect. Jason claimed, “It was an extremely difficult time and it was, I think, a conscious decision that we were not filmed together.” He added, “I wasn’t comfortable. I mean, it was a very difficult time.” Whatever.
In an Instagram post Chrishell explained the split saying, “Jason was and is my best friend, and other than our ideas for family ultimately not being aligned, the amount of respect and love we have for each other will not change going forward.” Do we still believe that?
During the Season 5 reunion taping, Jason cried as he discussed the break-up and his hopes for the future with Chrishell. Just for fun, Chrishell used the camera time and captive audience as her moment to announce a new relationship with the Australian singer, GFlip. Her “best friend” Jason seemed pretty surprised by the update.
In an interview reported on by E! News, Christine Quinn gave her two cents on the situationship between Chrishell and Jason. She called the short-lived romance “opportunistic.” She trolled, “It was a great storyline,” before adding, “I think that Jason did have genuine feelings for her.”
“I saw the chemistry that Jason, you know, really liked her,” Christine explained. She added that his energy “radiated” towards Chrishell.
Christine continued her call out adding that she does not believe Chrishell had real feelings for her superior at the Oppenheim Group. Christine called the romance “one-sided” and called her co-star’s behavior around Jason, “really uncomfortable.” It all checks out.
