'Selling Sunset' Creator Explains Why Justin Hartley Was Never On the Show

Justin Hartley‘s ex-wife Chrishell Stause stars on the Netflix series Selling Sunset, but he never once made an appearance on the reality show… and now the show’s creator is explaining why.

The first episode of Selling Sunset aired in March 2019 and Justin was mentioned many times throughout the three seasons that are streaming right now.

In a new interview with the show’s creator Adam DiVello, it was revealed why Justin never appeared alongside Chrishell.

“I think it was just contractual. We certainly asked many, many times. I think it was just his contract with NBC,” Adam told Variety. If you weren’t aware, Justin is one of the stars of NBC’s smash hit series This Is Us.

The third season follows Justin and Chrishell‘s split last year and she revealed the surprising way he told her that he filed for divorce.
