‘He’s irritated that she’s airing their private information publicly and knows there is more to the story than is being told,’ the source said. ‘His close friends and family know what really happened, as does Chrishell, so ultimately it’s her choice of what is put out there.’

In the new season, the Selling Sunset star broke down in tears as she recalled exactly how Hartley informed her of the filing late last year. 

Though the source insisted that ‘The claims made in the show that something changed in Justin after his This is Us fame are completely false.’ 

In the emotionally-charged clip, Stause reveals to her costar Mary Fitzgerald that the This Is Us actor sent the bad news on text message, explaining: ‘He text me that we were filed,’ she said, adding: ‘Forty-five minutes later, the world knew.’ Chrishell Stause says ex Justin texted her about divorce

Fitzgerald looks shocked at the news, as she asks her in disbelief: ‘He texted you?!’

Stause went on: ‘I talked to him right after because I thought that must be a joke. But that was kind of the end of the communication.’

‘When I found out, I was minutes before leaving the house for work so I immediately just grabbed a few things and I just got out of there as fast as I could,” the former soap star said.

‘I don’t think I really knew where I was going or what I was going to do, but I just had to leave.’

‘I’m just kind of in shock with it all,’ the former daytime TV star added through tears. 

Adding: ‘Chrishell knows that’s not what happened, so for her to let people believe that is upsetting to him.’ 

News of Stause and Hartley’s divorce emerged last November, with the 43-year-old actor citing irreconcilable differences in his legal filings.

Moving on: The source added on Friday that ‘Justin is in a good place. [He] wants to just move on.’ Hartley was linked to his former The Young and the Reckless co-star Sofia Pernas earlier this year (Hartley in January 2020)

There is some dispute over the timeline of the breakup.

In divorce filings This Is Us star Justin listed the date of separation as July 8.’ She claims November 22, the day he filed, was the actual date of separation, however.

Making things murkier, the pair made several public appearances together following Justin’s claimed date of separation, seen together at the Emmy Awards in September 2019, the Veuve Clicquot Polo game in October 2019, and a Hollywood Reporter-hosted pre-Golden Globes bash in November of that year.

The source added on Friday that ‘Justin is in a good place. [He] wants to just move on.’
