Christina Hall calls out ex Josh for calling tense HGTV moment ‘manufactured’ — what happened?
HGTV star Christina Hall said a tense moment with ex Josh Hall, which he labeled as “manufactured drama,” is an all-too-real example of him being “rude” to her.
Christina Hall fired back after Josh Hall downplayed a preview clip of the HGTV series “The Flip Off” that showed an ugly moment between the former couple.
In the clip, Josh Hall is seen berating Christina Hall as he’s driving while discussing the home renovation competition show. In a post on his Instagram stories on Jan. 6, he called the preview clip “manufactured drama” and said that HGTV had “changed.”
“TFW when you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” Josh Hall wrote. “@hgtv, you’ve changed.”
Christina Hall then responded with a screenshot of Josh Hall’s post and wrote on her Instagram stories that there was nothing fake about the moment in the clip.
“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me….That was all natural,” she wrote.
She also included a photo of a tearful selfie in a vehicle.
“This was taken June 21, 2024,” she wrote. “After one of my shoots with Josh. This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”
In “The Flip Off” preview clip, a tense conversation includes Josh Hall telling Christina that she’s being “rude” when she doesn’t respond to him, telling her not to “get confused in this competition about what your last name is.”
He later says, “My wife’s pissing me off already.”
Another scene in the clip shows Christina Hall meeting up with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and telling him that she and Josh Hall have “officially” broken up.
Josh Hall filed for divorce from Christina Hall in July 2024 after nearly three years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by TODAY.com.
“The Flip Off” was supposed to star Christina and Josh Hall along with El Moussa and his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, in a competition to buy, renovate and sell homes at a profit. The show is set to premiere on Jan. 29, 2025.
“I did not enjoy filming with him. Having split up made this, to be honest, so much easier and so much better in every way,” Christina Hall told “Entertainment Tonight” in November 2024.
Their marriage was troubled before they started shooting the series, according to Christina Hall.
“I’d been telling him that things were bad for at least a year. Probably 18 months,” she told the outlet.
A month after they split up, Christina Hall wrote on Instagram that her “kids are happy & our house feels like a home.”
“I have a life coach and I made myself a promise — I will never ever give away my peace again,” she wrote.
