Christina Haack Details Mistreatment From Josh Hall While Filming

HGTV star Christina Haack shocked fans last summer when she publicly announced that she and her third husband, Josh Hall, pulled the plug on their marriage. They seemed happy on social media and were filming The Flip Off at the time.
But now that The Flip Off has premiered on HGTV, fans are quickly realizing how tumultuous things could be behind the scenes.
Christina has repeatedly described how rude and nasty Josh could be during filming. However, fans find it jarring to see it all unfold on camera.
Christina Haack Acknowledges Josh Hall’s Massive Insecurities
After their split went public, celebrity designer Christina Haack admitted a variety of things fueled it. But one of the biggest factors involved Josh’s insecurities about her children’s fathers. Christina shares two children with Tarek El Moussa and one with Ant Anstead.

“You make him very insecure,” Christina told Tarek during their heart-to-heart during the series premiere. “Every time we’d barely joke at [the kids’] soccer [games], or if I laughed at you, he like would not speak to me for two to three days. I would get silent treatment.”
Her raw display of vulnerability truly resonated with fans. Although the conditions were grim, viewers enjoyed seeing Christina and Tarek reconnect.
“He doesn’t like me, calls me cocky. He thinks I’m arrogant. We both know I’m not cocky or arrogant. I just do work,” she told her first husband through tears.
“You’re not any of those things. He’s projecting. You’re a great mother, you’re a great daughter. You’re… you are a great human,” Tarek comforted her.

As the conversation continued, the exes reflected on the end of their own marriage. Christina admitted she often jumps into new relationships after one marriage ends.
“I never wanted to get divorced. I’m the only person in my family to ever get a divorce. So I just felt like it’s safe to be back in a relationship, but ultimately, that was not safe either,” the 41-year-old shared in a confessional.
Divorcing Josh Hall Reopened Some Doors
Christina Haack isn’t having an easy time going through this highly public split. However, it has given her some new opportunities. She’s developing a great friendship with Tarek El Moussa on The Flip Off. But she also had a chance to reconnect with her second husband, Ant Anstead, as well.
Christina invited Ant to participate as a judge on the show, which certainly threw the El Moussas off guard.
“All of a sudden they’re besties,” Tarek shared with PEOPLE regarding his shock.
“[Christina] started following [Ant] on Instagram and we were like, ‘What? What’s going on?’ It really was like that for us,” his wife Heather El Moussa agreed. “You see it transpire on TV and we’re so thrown off by the situation. I think we texted her, ‘Why are you following Ant? What’s going on?’”
