Tarek El Moussa, Christina Hall Tied To Multi-Million Dollar Scheme?
Tarek El Moussa and his ex-wife Christina Hall already have a lot of drama and chaos to deal with at the moment. But now, it seems like the former couple is tied up with a house-flipping scheme.
Although they weren’t the main conspirators behind the scheme, their ties to a Utah-based consulting company definitely don’t paint them in the best light.
What’s going on?
Tarek El Moussa & Christina Hall Have Had A Tumultuous Year
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall have a new show coming out in 2025, The Flip Off. It’s a revival of their HGTV series, Flip or Flop. But in the new series, they’ll race against each other to flip a house alongside their new spouses.
However, things took a bit of a turn when Christina and her husband Josh Hall announced they were divorcing. It seems like the show will continue without Josh, but it’s still a messy situation.
Now, Tarek and Christina are potentially facing more challenges.
Deadline reports the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is awarding $12 million in refund payments to people who fell victim to a Utah-based brand affiliated with Tarek El Moussa, Christina Hall, and other HGTV stars.
“Zurixx LLC lured students into taking expensive seminars on house flipping. The company agreed to a settlement in February 2022 after it was accused of using false earning claims to draw in would-be real estate entrepreneurs. Some participants paid tens of thousands of dollars to take part in the Zurixx seminars,” Deadline writes.
The publication also reports that several of the HGTV stars involved didn’t show up to the classes. Instead, they reportedly sent in pre-recorded messages. In a nutshell, it seems Zurixx overpromised and underdelivered.
The Utah State Government Speaks Out
It’s been a rough road for the victims, but government officials are doing their best to rectify the situation.
“Many victims will finally be getting some justice. Thousands who were coached into fraudulent investments by Zurixx owners will receive checks from this substantial settlement,” the Attorney General for the state of Utah officially stated. “Removing these actors permanently from the coaching space is a significant win for Utah. We hope this serves as a warning to others who might consider setting up similar programs based on false earning claims.”
Without a doubt, it’s not a great look for Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall, who already have enough chaos to handle. Time will tell what happens with their connection to Zurixx.
