Chrishell Stause believes her split from Justin Hartley may be all about the money.
According to TMZ, Stause, who played Jordan Ridgeway on Days Of Our Lives (DOOL), is confidentially disputing the date of their separation. Hartley listed the separation as July 8, 2019, whereas Stause claims the date was November 22, 2019, the same day Hartley filed for divorce.
