Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

Christina Haack and her estranged husband, Josh Hall, are ramping up their already-contentious divorce with even more drama.

On Monday, January 6, Haack took to Instagram to hit back at her ex, who claimed that HGTV was creating "manufactured drama" about the two on their home renovation show The Flip Off.

"[That feeling when] you can't get enough ratings with celebrity 🏠 designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody," Hall, 44, wrote via his instagram Story after a trailer for the January 29 premiere of the show dropped. "@hgtv, you've changed 🙄."

Haack, for her part, fired back via her own Instagram Story on Monday.

"Manufactured?!" she wrote alongside an article about Hall's claims. "Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me... That was all natural."

She then shared a photo of herself crying after one of her The Flip Off shoots with Hall last year.

"This was taken on June 21, 2024," Haack wrote over the selfie. "After one of my shoots with Josh. This is 'real' and a reminder to myself that I deserve better."

The exes, who wed in 2022 and split last year, were featured fighting in the tense sneak peek of their HGTV show, during which Hall calls Haack "rude" and tells her to "shut up" after she refuses to share in his enthusiasm.

The Flip Off is a spinoff of Haack's original HGTV show, Flip or Flop, on which she starred with her first husband, Tarek El Moussa. (Haack and El Moussa, who were married from 2009 to 2018, share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9.)

After her divorce from El Moussa, Haack went on to marry Ant Anstead, with whom she shares 5-year-old son Hudson. The pair split in 2021, after less than two years of marriage.

All three of Hack's divorces have been contentious, though she and El Moussa are on good terms now — she even cries to him about her drama with Hall in the new Flip Off trailer.

The Flip Off pits Haack and Hall against Tarek and his new wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, for what was supposed to be a light-hearted competition series prior to her split from Hall.
