Christina Haack Defends HGTV & Fires Back At Estranged Husband Josh Hall After Calling Out ‘The Flip Off’ For “Manufactured Drama”

Christina Haack is publicly feuding with her estranged husband, Josh Hall, after the release of the latest preview for HGTV‘s The Flip Off, in which they both star.

Hall took to social media to share an article about a promo for the competition series that showed the couple during a tense moment before they called it quits on their marriage. Haack’s estranged husband was not kind to HGTV and said it was “manufactured drama.”

“[That feeling when] you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity [home] designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” Hall shared on his Instagram Stories. “HGTV, you’ve changed.”

It wasn’t long before Haack fired back at Hall in an Instagram Story post sharing a screenshot of his post and adding, “Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at HGTV told you to be rude to me…. That was all natural.”

Furthermore, Haack provided receipts of when they filmed the scene sharing a photo of herself crying and noting the date it was taken.

“This was taken June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh. This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better,” Haack shared.

The Flip Off is a competition show premiering on January 29 on HGTV. The show would reunite Haack with her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, as they compete for the best home flip. Haack was paired up with Hall and El Moussa with his wife, Heather Rae. However, during filming of the show, Haack and Hall announced they were splitting.

HGTV released a show preview on January 2 that chronicles a tense moment between Hall and Haack.

“This is a competition. You gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Hall tells Haack in the preview, adding, “Hall’s rule!”

Haack doesn’t seem too excited about Team Hall, and her now estranged husband tells her, “You’re supposed to say it with me or repeat it or something that shows that you’re with me. Remember, you’re a Hall now. Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is.”

The Christina on the Coast star didn’t seem to respond to Hall, which prompted him to tell her, “You’re rude!”

“I don’t overtalk,” Haack said.

Hall then lashed out and said, “You know how much sh** you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish she’d shut up already.’”

“My wife is pissing me off already,” Hall is heard saying.

The preview then leads to the scene where Haack tells her ex-husband that she and Hall had split up.
