Terrina Chrishell

Terrina Christopherhell Stause was born July 21, 1982. She is famous for her part in Selling Sunset, a Netflix reality series. Her earlier roles included Amanda Dillon (All My Children) and Jordan Ridgeway (Days of Our Lives). Stause was originally born in Draffenville. She earned her B.A. from Murray State University. She was an actor in the theater in 2003. The middle title "Chrishell" was a portmanteau title she invented to honor the unusual birth circumstances. Her mother gave birth to her child in the Shell station. Chris, a Shell station attendant, assisted her with her delivery. Strause denies gossip about her child's birth in her memoir. She also revealed that her mother was having issues with her car and drove to the station. While waiting at the car station, she went into pre-labor, and the attendant at the car truly helped her get to an emergency room. Strause was born in hospital. Her mother split with her biological father who was half Japanese and half Spanish before she realized she was expecting. Jeff is her stepfather. Chrishell Strause had to live in a tent in middle school, which meant she was absent for the entire academic year. Strause described washing her hair in the river, and eating food stamps to conceal her identity from her classmates. When she was 10, her parents struggled with addiction and mental illness. Strause enrolled in the Worldwide Church of God for an extended period of time. Strause says Strause as a confident female who was self-righteous and was never able to hold a steady job.
