Chrishell Stause’s jab at Katharine McPhee ignites backlash

Chrishell Stause’s blistering remarks about Katharine McPhee—sparked by a TikTok discussing McPhee’s past relationships and a headline-making appearance in support of Spencer Pratt—have taken over social media, including Threads.
Chrishell Stause didn’t just weigh in—she went for the jugular.
The former Selling Sunset star’s comments about Katharine McPhee are spreading fast online after a TikTok video posted by influencer Jordy Cray drew attention to McPhee’s dating history. The video points to 2013 photos showing McPhee kissing her Smash director, Michael Morris, while both were married to other people. The discussion also touched on McPhee’s marriage to David Foster, who is 35 years older than her.
Stause responded with a direct. pointed message aimed at McPhee’s “inner confidence” and the men she’s been connected to. She wrote. “One day she will find her real inner confidence but it won’t come until after she is disgarded enough times by the problematic men she backs. An insecure woman will steal your man, and give the worst advice.”.
She later continued the conversation on Threads, adding, “But if you are in these streets campaigning for Trump backed Pratt, yeah I’m gonna eye roll your advice on men Katherine.”
The timing is part of what’s fueling the backlash and the buzz. All of this is happening on the heels of McPhee’s viral, headline-making performance in support of Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles mayor. McPhee was revealed to be a supporter of Pratt’s campaign, along with several other celebrities.
With the TikTok resurfacing old relationship moments and Stause’s new remarks landing right after McPhee’s political headline, the internet’s reaction is coming in waves—less about subtlety, more about staking out sides.

Chrishell didn’t have to go for the throat like that. But also… how are people acting shocked? lol
Wait I’m confused, is the drama because of a TikTok showing old pics? Like kissing while married?? That’s Hollywood everyone does that. I mean Trump/Pratt thing is random too.
People keep saying “backed Pratt” like it’s some huge character flaw, but Spencer Pratt is literally just being Spencer Pratt. Meanwhile Chrishell calling her insecure is messy. Also David Foster being older like that matters?? it’s giving y’all just want a reason to fight on Threads.
I saw this on my feed and I guess Chrishell is basically saying McPhee is chasing problematic men, whatever. But timing is weird… like why bring up the old Smash director kissing pics right when the mayor supporter news drops? feels like internet revenge. And then the Trump part?? I don’t even know what Pratt plans are, I just know people are going off because of gossip.
