LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Selling Sunset's' eighth season premiere is being celebrated by Chrishell Stause, who is providing a few behind-the-scenes details! On Friday, September 6, the real estate agent celebrated the release of the new season of the popular Netflix series by sharing on Instagram what was left out of the episode.

Deshaun Watson's 'Selling Sunset' cameo causes further controversy

Some viewers brought up the fact that Deshaun Watson, who was accused of sexual assault and harassment by 26 women in 2021 and 2022, was highlighted on the show, as one of the affluent clients. According to various reports, Deshaun would book a massage with a female therapist.

When alone with the therapist, he would try to compel her into different sexual actions. In addition to the constant sexual solicitations, some therapists said that Deshaun purposefully displayed his penis and touched them with it. Someone said he ejaculated over her arm. Others say he touched them improperly.

Deshaun has refuted all claims. Twenty-three of the 26 lawsuits brought against Deshaun have been settled, one has been dropped, and two remain pending (all civil actions).

Fans, with so much information on their plate, sure didn't take the professional football quarterback's cameo on in a good light.

One user wrote, "AND they kept in Deshaun Watson who had been accused of sexual assault by 30 women?!? My jaw dropped when he showed up. Had to fast forward through that entire scene."

Another person chimed in writing, "Yeah fr they showed that football player with SA allegations...yet not G and Chrishell talking about having children."

One user also sighed, "Seriously WTF. And they kept the cringe Love Island guy and the man accused by 30 women of sexual assault?? They really fumbled this season."

"Was surprised where we are and where we’ve been in our family process didn’t make it. Very sweet of you to film for me even though I know you don’t love it. I love you," she noted.

"Fav look of mine this day I shot with @themarybonnet needs to be posted 🥰 A scene where Emma introduced us to who she actually WAS dating. This was pretty funny bc I didn’t like him. So maybe it’s for the best 😆😅," her caption added.

This information should further trigger the fans at the back of the controversy surrounding Emma dating a married man.
