Christina Haack Reveals Upset Over ‘Not Great' Divorce Settlement With Josh Hall: ‘I Guess It's Done'
HGTV star has laid bare her upset over her divorce settlement with Josh Hall, hinting that she feels 'screwed' by the agreement that the two of them finally reached—nearly a year after they split.
Haack, 41, has spent the past few months embroiled in a bitter feud with her 44-year-old estranged husband—having split from Hall shortly after they began filming their new HGTV project, 'The Flip Off.'
While their split was hammered out in court, the duo engaged in a very public war of words, with Haack accusing her ex of trying to take her money and her property, allegations that he has vehemently denied.
Finally, on May 2, the embittered exes finalized their split—and Haack has now shed some light on the lengthy and unhappy process to reach a settlement, while hinting that she is less than content with the results.
While speaking on SiriusXM's 'Jeff Lewis Live,' she confessed to host Jeff Lewis that she 'signed something' to be rid of the drama with her ex for good.
'I signed something. There's like a process after the process. It was resolved in mediation after, I think, 12 hours,' she explained.
When Lewis asked the home pro if she was happy with how the settlement turned out, she noted that she wasn't interested in divulging all the details.
'I heard a saying once, like, if you both think you're screwed … I don't know how it goes,' she said. 'Look, it's not great, but I guess it's done.'
Co-host Shane Douglas clarified the phrase: 'If both parties are equally unhappy after the negotiation, then you got what you want.'
Although the details of the settlement haven't been revealed, Haack teased that she will stop by Lewis' show again when they become public record.
After the settlement on May 2, a rep for Haack told Us Weekly, 'Christina is pleased to confirm that a settlement has been reached through mediation. She extends her sincere appreciation to her attorney, Laura Wasser, and her team for their professional guidance and support throughout the process.'
The HGTV star also praised her legal team on her social media.
'You are all a true class act. I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace. I appreciate you all beyond words. I have learned so much under your guidance,' Haack said on her Instagram Story.
The settlement came as a shock to fans and Haack, who previously lamented the ongoing legal proceedings during an appearance on the show 'Jeff Lewis Has Issues.'
'We're not even close [to a settlement]. We're going to be going to trial, I hear. It's going to be fun. Can't wait,' she said.
She claimed that Hall asked the court to force her to pay his legal fees, noting that she has not yet been 'ordered' to do so but that she has been supporting him financially.
The court hasn't 'ordered me yet, but he's been asking me [for money],' she said. 'I've already had to give a little something, but then he bought a Bentley. I gave him money to live, and he bought a Bentley, but he also doesn't have a job, so …'
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Haack asked that neither she nor Hall pay spousal support, adding that she wanted her ex to pay her lawyer fees.
On the flip side, Hall requested spousal support and asked Haack to pay his lawyer fees.
In response to Haack's interview rant about him, Hall issued a withering response via his spokesperson, accusing Haack of being 'obsessed' with him and alleging that she 'knows nothing' about what is going on in his life.
'It's sad Christina must resort to low blows about her ex Josh to promote her new show,' the statement read, before bizarrely going on to quote a Mariah Carey song. 'She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, 'Why you so obsessed with me?' We wish Christina the best.
'Christina knows nothing about Josh's life, and it's sad she keeps speculating. Her accusations are baseless.'
Sharing a screenshot of the statement on her Instagram account, Haack vented her fury: 'I just threw up in my mouth. Quoting a Mariah Carey song is a new low … even for you,' she wrote. 'Trust me idgaf about Josh's life. I do however care about his bts tactics. Narcissism at its finest.'
Haack seemed to put their feud behind her when she debuted her new relationship with in January.
She went 'Instagram official' with Larocca by sharing images of their romantic getaway on a private jet—just days after she opened up about her bitter divorce from Hall in her latest HGTV show.
Haack shared images from their whirlwind trip, one of which showed her perched on 52-year-old Larocca's lap inside the plane, both of them holding glasses of Champagne while beaming for the camera.
In another snap, Haack and Larocca—who is the CEO of Network Connex—embraced each other as they struck a pose in front of the jet. She captioned the images: 'Some plane flights must be hard posted.'The Driveway Could Be Your Home's Ultimate Selling Point That You're Overlooking

Pamela Anderson Says This One Place Is ‘Where Everything Came Back Together for Me' After Private Struggles
Pamela Anderson believes her Vancouver Island garden is like a "metaphor" for her life The Last Showgirl star's garden is now in its seventh season, currently harvesting beets, radishes and lettuce The garden was previously featured in HGTV Canada's series Pamela's Garden of EdenAccording to Pamela Anderson, her life is a lot like her Vancouver Island garden. 'The garden is such a metaphor: You can replant your garden every year, rotate your crops. I started learning a lot about it and thought, this is how I want my life to be,' the author and actress, 57, tells Architectural Digest. In 2020, The Last Showgirl star moved back to her family's long-held plot on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Since then, Anderson has revealed that leaving Hollywood for her hometown was to help her 'Remember who I was.' In the process, she's discovered a passion for nature.'It started when I realized you could just eat blackberries off a bush or a crabapple in a tree. It was one of those aha moments, that food comes from the ground, comes from the earth,' the mother of two says. 'I realized, oh, I can have my own garden. When I moved home to restart, I instantly thought, I'm going to make an incredible garden.' The property, known as Arcady, has helped her move through an often complicated life: '[It's] where everything came back together for me. This whole new chapter? It started in the garden.' Now in its seventh season, Anderson's 'Provençal' garden grows everything from wildflowers to herbs and vegetables. Currently, her team is harvesting beets, radishes and lettuces while the Baywatch star is out on the road. But some of her favorite things to grow include roses and heirloom tomatoes. 'I love my Yves Piaget roses. I also harvest rose hips and make face oils and all sorts of beauty treatments out of them,' Anderson says. 'And I love my heirloom tomatoes — I have that vegan cookbook I put out last year. A great heirloom tomato salad—that's the perfect food.' But The Naked Gun actress isn't the only one who enjoys the garden's produce: 'We get to feed a lot of food banks, soup kitchens, churches, neighbors, and family and friends.'The Vancouver garden is far from traditional. Anderson described it as 'very volcanic,' like 'an interesting vortex.' Even her gardener says 'I don't know what's going on in this garden, but it's so happy.' 'There's just something about it — getting your hands dirty, even being barefoot in the garden — something about it connects me back to who I am,' she describes. 'That's where I found myself again, so it's very special.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. This is not the first time Anderson's garden has been in the public eye. The actress is no stranger to posting garden updates on her Instagram. The grounds were also featured in Pamela's Garden of Eden, a series which followed the star as she restored her family's Canadian property. However, Anderson revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that she felt 'exploited' while filming the first season. 'The first season, I was a bit of a mess,' Anderson said in November 2023. 'It was not my favorite time of life. I was in survival mode while writing my memoir [Love, Pamela], the documentary [Pamela: A Love Story] was being made, and I was an open wound when it was being shot. I just wasn't that happy with it.' "The second season is about redemption, authenticity, truth and self acceptance," she added. "I'm taking my power back, instead of giving it up. I took control of the show and figured out a way to keep to my vision, and turn it into a positive experience. I kept it real." Read the original article on People
