Selling Sunset’s Chrisell Stause is opening up about how she “froze with fear” during LA wildfire evacuations.
The reality star, 43, shared during her appearance on Wednesday, January 15 contention that the fires and subsequent evacuation process brought back long-buried memories of watching her house burn as a child.
“When we had to evacuate, there was a fire like in our backyard. It was immediately like, ‘You have to go,'” she explained during the episode. “I think I’m frozen with fear. I had somehow forgotten, when I was 12 years old, I saw my house burning.”

I love feeling that endless support to want the other person to be fully who they are.”
