The Flip Off premiered on Wednesday, Jan. 29 and it certainly delivered the drama. The show didn’t shy away from the breakup of Christina Haack from Josh Hall — the tension was real. While their split will become a background player in the home renovation competition, it’s Haack’s conversation with her first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa in the first episode that’s the most heartbreaking. 

The 41-year-old TV personality shared a vulnerable moment with El Moussa, revealing just how challenging her third marriage had been behind the scenes. After telling her ex, “Josh and I officially split up,” Haack gave her side of the story in why her relationship with Hall didn’t work out — and it’s crushing.

“We had a blowup over nothing, truly nothing,” she began. “In my face, middle fingers in my face. Things with Josh have been bad for a long time, not just kind of bad, BAD. The kids literally asked me to leave. They told me he’s not nice to me. You make him insecure.”

El Moussa reacted with empathy as Haack continued to spill the details about the difficult marriage and how Hall allegedly hated when she interacted with her first husband.

“He would not speak to me for two to three days. I would get silent treatment,” she continued. “He doesn’t like me, calls me ‘cocky.’ Thinks I’m arrogant.”

El Moussa reassured her that she’s neither of those things while noting that Hall was “projecting” his insecurities.

“You’re a great mother, you’re a great daughter, you’re a great human,” said El Moussa, who shares daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, with Haack. 

“I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it,” she responded emotionally. 

As fans saw in the show, El Moussa and his now-wife Heather Rae El Moussa have been rallying around Haack since her split from Hall. 

“[The dynamic is] better,” Heather shared with Us Weekly earlier this month. “Not to be mean, but he definitely didn’t have the best personality. So, it’s like a breath of fresh air — and [Christina is] in a really good place.” Haack has also found her joie de vivre again too as she hit back at her ex.

“This isn’t Josh’s show. No one’s going to miss that he’s not in it,” Haack noted to the media outlet. “Josh is not a TV host, he’s not a house flipper, he’s not a designer. He was just my husband in it. With Tarek, we built everything together, and I still have respect for him. I have no respect for Josh.”

The Flip Off is now a face off between the three of them with Haack learning that she can compete on her own — with a little help along the way!
