Christina Hall and Josh Hall had an intense social media exchange regarding the drama on their new show, The Flip Off.
“TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity 
designers so you manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” Josh, 44, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, January 6, seemingly referring to an intense exchange between the exes in the series’ trailer. “@hgtv, you’ve changed.”
Christina, 41, subsequently fired back at her estranged husband.
From our partners:
“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me …” she responded via her own Instagram story alongside a screenshot of Josh’s post. “That was all natural.”
Josh Hall Tells Christina to Remember Her Last Name in Tense ‘Flip Off’ Clip
After defending herself and the show, Christina also shared a selfie she took from the set where she looked visibly upset.
“This was taken June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh,” she captioned the selfie of her crying. “This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”
Earlier this month, fans got a taste of what to expect from the inaugural season of the upcoming series. In a first look clip, Josh and Christina had a tense moment while driving to a project ahead of their July 2024 split.
“This is a competition, you gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Josh told Christina in the video and proceeded to shout, “Halls rule!”
Christina was seemingly not amused with Josh’s antics and remained silent in the passenger seat. Josh then reminded her that they’re a team now. (In addition to Christina and Josh, The Flip Off also features Christina’s ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his new wife, former Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa.)
“Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is,” he said, before calling Christina “rude.”

Christina then shared that she simply doesn’t “over talk,” which seemingly upset Josh even more. “You know how much s— you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already?’” he replied.
The trailer ended with Christina meeting up with Tarek, 43, who noticed instantly that something was off with his ex-wife.
“I know that look. What’s going on? You good?” Tarek asked. Christina pauses before revealing that she and Josh “officially split up.”
Christina and Josh tied the knot in April 2022. Before joining The Flip Off, the pair worked together on Christina in the Country, which followed Christina’s renovation projects in Tennessee. Josh also appeared on Christina on the Coast, which focused on the renovation work the HGTV star did in California.
Christina Hall Says Working With Husband Joshua on HGTV Is ‘Challenging’
After Christina and Josh filed for divorce in July 2024, Josh’s role in The Flip Off was downgraded. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that since the series was “in production” already, Christina, Tarek and Heather, 37, were “moving forward with the show without” Josh.
Josh and Christina have yet to finalize their divorce and their legal proceedings are ongoing.
The Flip Off premieres on HGTV Wednesday, January 29, at 8 p.m. ET and available the same day to stream on Max and Discovery+.
