The ‘Selling Sunset’ star was voted off the ABC dance competition on Monday (02.11.20), but has said she’s pleased she was able to take part in the series, because dancing has become a form of therapy for her.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: "I feel like this show has been very therapeutic. We worked through so many things through this.
“I've had to talk about things that I didn't necessarily want to talk about, and I've had to push myself. In doing that, it's just freed me up a little bit.
“I know it should be a sad moment right now, because, of course, I didn't want to leave, but I'm so happy that I've had this experience and I'm so grateful. It's a once in a lifetime experience and I'll never forget it.”
Chrishell and her professional dance partner, Gleb Savchenko, made it eight weeks into the competition, but ultimately lost out when they landed in the bottom two alongside Skai Jackson and Alan Bersten.
The 39-year-old star took part in the series following her split from her husband Justin Hartley last year, and the death of her mother this year.
Chrishell previously opened up on her tough split during an episode of ‘Selling Sunset’, in which she claimed she found out Justin was filing for divorce just 45 minutes before the news went public, and insisted he told her over text message.
She said: "I found out because he text[ed] me that we were filed. Forty-five minutes later, the world knew."
The blonde beauty also slammed Justin for making an "impulsive" decision about the future of their relationship, and claimed she didn't have time to prepare from the onslaught of questions from their fans who "want answers".
She added: "Because of the crazy way in which this went down, people want answers, and I f****** want answers. I know people are saying we were only married two years, but it's like, we were together for six years. ... In a fight, that's his go-to, you know? Like, 'I'm out, I'm out.' I hate that kind of impulsive stuff, but I always just thought, you know, that's just an issue that we work through it.
"If that's really what you wanted, there are better ways to go about [it]. I talked to him right after because I thought that must be a joke, but that was kind of the end of the communication. What am I supposed to say? What do you say after that? It's like, now I have to find a place to live. Now I have to scramble and figure this out, you know?"
