Chanel West Coast boasts she’s ‘irreplaceable’ on Ridiculousness but will ‘support’ new female host after she quits job

CHANEL West Coast has boasted she’s “irreplaceable” on Ridiculousness – but will support the female host who eventually replaces her.

On Tuesday, the MTV star announced she was leaving Ridiculousness after co-hosting the show for 30 seasons to produce and star in her own content.

Starting April 3, the current hosts, Rob Dyrdek and Steelo Brim, will be joined by new guest co-hosts.

In a new interview with The U.S. Sun, Chanel West Coast, 34, shared her thoughts on who should replace her and shared more details of her new TV show.

“You know, I would like to say that my position is one that cannot be filled. I would like to say I’m irreplaceable,” Chanel told The U.S. Sun.

“I think it’s great to showcase a ton of different women – that’s amazing.

“So, I’m supportive of whoever ends up taking the position permanently, if that’s the case, or if it’s just several different guest hosts, I’m supportive of that as well.”

According to a press release from MTV, the following have been announced so far: B. Simone, Brie Bella, Brittany Elena, Camille Kostek, Carly Aquilino, Draya Michele, Karrueche Tran, Lolo Wood, Maddy Smith, Madison Beer, Nikki Blades, Nina Agdal, Rachel Wolfson, and Teala Dunn.

Chanel continued: “I think all of the girls are going to kill it. It’s a fun show. It’s pretty, you know, it’s easy.

“So, I don’t think anybody could do a bad job at it.”

MOVING ON

The entrepreneur made the announcement she would be leaving the series after 12 years in a statement to Variety.

“After years of being a part of the ‘Ridiculousness’ family, I’m sad to say goodbye to the show but very excited to announce my next big venture with MTVE/Paramount,” she said.

“It’s time for me to step off the red couch and step into the role of executive producer. My passion has always been to create, whether it is music, clothing, or film and tv.

“I plan to bring some of my wildest ideas and dreams to life through amazing film & television projects, build my teams, and work with other creatives paving the way on the screen.”

Chanel told The U.S. Sun that her decision to move on from the show was something she’s dreamed about and has been secretly working on “for years.”

She explained how it was “all about timing” and how “this was just the right time to move on to this next phase with MTV.”

“This is just the evolution of Chanel West Coast,” she dished.

“I really just like being in control of my narrative, you know?

“I’ve been on shows where I’m just a co-host and I really can’t control how the world sees me, and I love Ridiculousness and it’s been so great, but this was just, what was the natural next step for me?”

DETAILS OF HER NEW SHOW

The Los Angeles native will soon start to film her docuseries-style TV show and hopes to have it released in the fall.

“It’s going to be filming me more on a personal level. It’s going to be about really all things me, you know, my businesses, being a mother, my music, my boyfriend Dom [Fenison],” Chanel told The U.S. Sun.

“It’s just going to be a deeper look into my life because that’s something that the fans have always kind of wanted and that’s something I couldn’t really give them on Ridiculousness.

“It’s going to be a wild ride, let’s just put it that way.”

She also spilled that some famous friends can potentially “pop up here and there at events and parties” and there could be “cameos.”

And, for fans who love her notorious laugh, there will be no shortage of it on her show.

“I laugh at everything. Like, I think that’s how I got the job on Ridiculousness in the first place,” she joked.

“So yeah, you’re definitely still going to hear my laugh, especially with being a mom. There’s so many funny things that come up with my baby. She’s like the most hilarious baby ever.”

HER ‘FAVORITE’ ROLE

Chanel and her model boyfriend Dom, 30, welcomed their daughter, Bowie Breeze Fenison, in November 2022.

The couple had been dating since early 2022. Chanel has also boasted about Dom being “very supportive” of her next venture and how being a mom played a little part in this new chapter.

“I think that being a mom has motivated me more than ever, and I want to be the best version of myself for my daughter,” she gushed.

“And I just feel like it’s time to move on to something new where I can build like a legacy type thing and pass that on to my daughter.”

Chanel continued: “I love being a mom so much. It’s the best thing in the world. I think this is like now my favorite thing to do more than anything.

“So yeah, she definitely has motivated this, and I think that’s how every woman feels…you just feel like you want to go 10 times harder with anything you do.”

KEEPING UP WITH CHANEL

In addition to focusing on her new show and being a mom to her newborn, Chanel spends a lot of her time making music.

Her new single, Lit For Days, is expected to be released early April.

“It’s really just, like, such a good time, fun summer vibes song.

“It’s still got a hip-hop undertone to it, but it’s definitely a lot more pop, and I think people are going to really like it. It’s definitely more, like, the family-friendly version, Chanel.”

She’s also working on an album that was almost done before she got pregnant but had to put a pause on because her high-risk pregnancy.

“You will see on the show some of the process of, like, finishing up the album and stuff like that. It’s a really different album,” she teased.

“It’s a lot more pop rock and there’s still hip-hop vibes to it.

“A lot of people will say it kind of reminds them of, like, a female Post Malone vibe.”

There will be some “big collabs,” but she has yet to name the artists.

Chanel will also be releasing a new collection to her swimwear line, Coasty Swim, and is working on building the brand and featuring it in boutiques around the country.
