Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause has called out Aussie reality TV newcomer Bernie Moredio for being a complete “f**kboy” on Stan’s dating series Love Triangle.
Like many viewers, Stause – who hosted the show’s reunion special on Sunday – was disappointed with Bernie for following the “playbook of f**kboys” to a tee while breaking the hearts of multiple women on the show.
“I hope the girls of Australia watch the show and do not date Bernie. Do not let him get away with this bad behaviour!” Stause said during a reunion debrief with news.com.au.
Taking on a more serious note, she added: “And for Bernie, I hope you watch this and you go to therapy, and I hope you grow and become a way better person that would not treat people like that in the future.”
To get you up to speed, the show creates five love triangles by matching five singles with two suitors each. Bernie and Chloe Hannigan were among those singles.
However, instead of selecting a partner from their respective “triangles”, the pair shared a secret connection on the show and eventually chose each other in the finale.
But, in yet another plot twist, just 12 hours before they filmed the Love Triangle reunion episode, Bernie dumped Chloe.
“Bernie was like a grenade that went off in this experiment, and it’s unfortunate,” Stause told us. “I feel like it was extremely selfish of him to waste everyone’s time. He’s not here for love. He wasted some of our daters’ time, then he goes out and he pursues somebody in a whole other [triangle].”
“It was very clear to me he just wanted to sleep with [Chloe]. He had no interest, having dumped her before [the reunion] so that he can then look single and get more girls.”
Stause was not afraid to call him out on his “f**kboy” behaviour in the reunion, which left herself as well as the singles and suitors all fuming at Sydney-based Bernie.
“How are you going to deny it if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck? At that point, he didn’t have a lot to say for himself,” she said.
“I just think that it definitely exposed him – this experiment exposed him. He thought he could come in and rule the roost, and it was pretty satisfying to be able to call him out on his BS behaviour.”
However, Stause said she believed everyone deserved a second chance – even people like Bernie who are constantly taking dating missteps.
“He is young, so I’ll give him a pass if he wants to work on himself,” she said. “I am all for second chances if somebody were to watch that and then take a step back and be like, ‘Whoa, I need to figure some things out.’ I think that’s super commendable.”
“But it takes a strong person to be able to do that. If the other happens, and he watches this and ends up trying to sleep with people, then it will be more of the same. So surprise us, Bernie. Use this to grow.”
Another suitor that Stause called out on the show is Jordan Drew.
He was the suitor Payton Ellicott chose in the end, only for their relationship to implode in the reunion when audio of Jordan’s distasteful comments about Payton was aired for all to hear.
“F**k you man, you know I’m not attracted to that,” Jordan told another suitor about Payton in an off-camera comment that microphones picked up. “I asked for small, tanned, ethnic… She is the complete opposite in every single thing.”
“Literally any other girl here I would be into,” he continued. “If I f***ed her or whatever then I’m like even more of a f***wit. Like, there’s just no way I’m not looking like an arsehole after this, dude.”
He and Payton were literally sitting side-by-side on the reunion couch before his comment was played for the group. Afterwards, Stause did not hold back, boldly telling Jordan it was clear he went on the show for “clout”.
“To be honest, I even called him out more than that. I think only certain parts made the show,” Stause tells us. “I wanted to call him out because it’s one thing if someone’s misunderstood or if they made a mistake and they feel bad about that comment. But I just didn’t feel like there was any room for error about what he meant [in his comment].”
“I personally felt like he was just trying to look good on camera, but we saw a sliver of how he really speaks about women and Peyton when he thought no one was listening – and that says a lot about your character. So I didn’t mind holding his feet to the fire. It’s obvious to me that he was there for clout.”
Stause said that after Bernie’s bad behaviour was exposed and Jordan’s comment was aired, the tension in the room was next level.
“It was a very tense room. I mean, you had people that very clearly did not want to be sitting next to somebody else,” she recalled.
“When there would be these small little moments for a make-up touch-up or something, it would be dead silent. So what you see was not amped up for television. It was a tense situation.”
