EXCLUSIVE Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan's boyfriend breaks silence on Chrishell Stause's feud with ex-best friend
's boyfriend is setting the record straight after Chrishell Stause made bombshell allegations about the Selling Sunset star's beau. On Friday, Chrishell, 43, responded to a fan comment on Instagram, asking the Netflix star what was going on with her and Emma, 30. Fans have noticed that the reality stars, who were once inseparable, have not been posting photos together or been seen out together. Their friendship even became a 'hot topic on Reddit,' according to the curious fan who asked the question. Chrishell responded to the Instagram comment, replying 'ask her about her MAGA bf who told me pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word. I just can't with that. Too old to allow that in. But love her from afar.' In an exclusive chat with Blake Davis, 28, broke his silence on Chrishell's claims about him allegedly saying 'pronouns are dumb' and that 'he likes to use the N word.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Describing his interactions with Chrishell, Blake, who is based in Florida, said that he's only met her 'a handful of times,' with the last meeting taking place 'a year-and-a-half ago.' 'The meeting at Ms Stause's home took place in January 2024, and this was the last time I saw or spoke to Ms Stause,' he revealed. 'We are barely acquaintances and we know very little about each other's beliefs and lives.' He went on to say that he and Chrishell 'have never discussed political views.' He also said that he 'does not use derogatory language about anyone.' The real estate agent and developer confessed that he did, however, mistakenly call Chrishell's partner, Georgia 'G Flip' Flipo, 'Ms. Stause's wife' rather than use the pronoun 'them.' 'The only time we had a real conversation was when I met Ms Stause at her house with Emma. I regretfully referred to G Flip as Ms Stause's wife. 'Ms Stause corrected me that they were partners and that G Flip goes by the pronoun them,' he explained. 'Since, I have respectfully used the preferred pronouns.' Chrishell and the 31-year-old Australian singer tied the knot in May 2023. G Flip, who goes by they/them pronouns, came out as non-binary in June 2021. Alleging that he's being 'picked on' by Chrishell, he told that he's in his mid-20s and 'getting picked on by somebody my mom's age.' Emma and Blake have been dating since December 2023, he spilled. 'Aside from a few breaks we have taken due to distance and other personal issues, we remain committed to each other,' he shared with 'I am a supportive partner to Emma and I fully support her friendship with Ms Stause.' Although he did not touch base on Emma and Chrishell's current status, he said that he's staying out of their alleged feud since he's 'not part of their friendship.' has reached out to Chrishell's rep and Emma's rep for comment. After Chrishell's comment to a fan went viral, a source told TMZ that 'Emma felt she and Chrishell were cordial,' so the online outburst came as a 'shock.' The source added, 'Emma still loves Chrishell and will continue to be a cheerleader for Chrishell and G's relationship,' despite not having time to 'catch up lately.' Amid the friction, Emma has continued engaging with Chrishell's posts online while Chrishell has taken a step back. As recently as February 2025 the former besties interacted with each other on social media. When Hernan joked she was in a 'relationship' with her passport, Chrishell protectively declared, 'No dusties allowed.' The Selling Sunset stars' feud was reportedly filmed for the upcoming season of the show and will play out when season nine premieres. Emma, who keeps her personal life private, told Us Weekly back in December that Blake had stood up for her after her castmates failed to support her amid accusations she was having an affair with a married man. 'I was very grateful because he knew what happened and what they did to me. He was super upset and very supportive and felt awful for me,' she said, while adding, 'especially because he went and filmed and put himself out there as well, and they cut everything.' The Oppenheim Group realtor was upset at those scenes with Blake being cut as it put a lot of things out of context and made it seem like the affair rumors were true, she claimed. 'There's a few scenes where I have a bite mark on my arm and they try to play it like they don't know who it is. But we all know who it is,' she said. 'There's a few scenes that if you go back in the season and kind of pay attention to what they did now, it's super messed up.' Emma recently gave a happy birthday shoutout to Blake on her Instagram Story earlier this month and the couple has spent time together over the past week.

New & Improved Tune Talk App Lets You Stream & Game All In One Place!
They're singing your tune, gaming and streaming fans! Tune Talk has launched Games and Drama in the Tune Talk App, making them the first-ever in-app streaming and gaming features to be introduced by a telco in Malaysia. Seamlessly integrated into the Tune Talk app, this new entertainment hub allows users to watch dramas, play games, and earn rewards in one place, with no additional downloads or third-party logins required. This launch marks more than just a feature update – it represents a bold business transformation that positions Tune Talk as a disruptive force in Malaysia's RM42 billion telecommunications industry. As the only fully cloud-native telco in Southeast Asia, Tune Talk is redefining the way mobile networks operate, delivering services that are not only agile and scalable but also deeply tuned to how people live, work, and play. According to the Digital 2025: Malaysia report by DataReportal, 97.7% of Malaysians are internet users, and there are over 43.3 million cellular mobile connections in the country – equivalent to 121% of the total population as of early 2025. The Malaysian telecom market itself is projected to grow from US$9.07 billion in 2024 to US$11.54 billion by 2030, driven by digital lifestyle demand, mobile-first behaviour, and low-latency entertainment consumption. 'This is just the beginning,' said Gurtaj Singh Padda, Co-founder, Executive Director and CEO of Tune Talk. 'We're not just enhancing connectivity – we're reimagining what users can do with it. With the launch of Games and Drama in the Tune Talk App, we're turning everyday digital engagement into a rich, rewarding experience.

Telco Meets Entertainment Available exclusively via the Tune Talk app, the Drama section features a curated library of streaming content, while the Games selection offers casual, instant-play games that require no downloads. Every interaction earns users Tune Points, which can be redeemed for content unlocks, ad-free streaming, or exclusive perks – placing real value at users' fingertips, powered behind the scenes by Jolibox's embedded entertainment infrastructure. Shawn Lim, Head of Marketing at Tune Talk, added: 'Today's users want more than just data – they want effortless, meaningful engagement. With this all-in-one entertainment hub, we've made telco simpler, smarter, and a lot more fun. And this is just the beginning of what our cloud-native platform can deliver.' By running fully in the cloud, Tune Talk eliminates legacy limitations and gains the ability to deploy new features rapidly, automate user personalisation via AI, and reduce operational costs – benefits that few traditional telcos can replicate. The company's approach aligns closely with the goals of JENDELA and MyDIGITAL, Malaysia's national initiatives aimed at driving infrastructure modernisation, rural inclusion, and economic digitisation. 'This launch is more than entertainment – it's proof that a telco can lead in user experience, not just network coverage,' added Gurtaj. 'And we're proud to be setting a new benchmark not only for Malaysia but for the region.' Jolibox – Powering The Entertainment Core This game-changing in-app experience is made possible through a close partnership with Jolibox, a leading cloud entertainment platform that specialises in seamless content delivery and gamification.
