July 24, 2024: Christina Lawyers Up

According to photographs obtained by People, Christina was spotted on her way out of an attorney’s office on July 24, 2024. She was dressed in all black and accessorized with sunglasses. The outing came after Christina was spotted without her wedding ring after the divorce news made headlines. Christina filed a response to Josh’s request for a divorce and alleged that he made questionable financial moves related to her properties in Tennessee in the days surrounding their split.

According to multiple reports, Christina alleged Josh contacted her property manager to have them change the bank account that received the rent payments for those properties to his personal account. “The day after I communicated to Josh that I would be filing for dissolution, Josh contacted my professional property manager via text and stated, ‘Hi. For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it’s time? Thank you,” she reportedly claimed in the docs.

“For the month of June, Josh was able to divert over $35,000 of my separate rental income to his account,” Christina’s filing alleged. “I am asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for these rental properties.”

After Josh returned to social media, Christina shared a lengthy statement to her own Instagram Story, writing, “Over here waiting for the typical Hired PR rep speech of ‘how I was blind-sided and how I’m working on myself and taking time to heal at her ranch.”

She added, “Meanwhile, I’m over here not as nice and quiet as I used to be …… I have worked my ass off to build this life for myself and my children and anyone who would try and take what they do not deserve/ what they did NOT work for should be ashamed. An insecure man with a large ego can sure try and derail you- but ‘still i rise.'”

She then referenced the topic of divorce, writing, “For those that aren’t aware … divorces do not happen overnight .. & there is always a breaking point. This one is personal.”

Unfortunately, the internet is forever. We are real humans, this is our life and I am not here to entertain people I don’t know with my private matters. Those details will be handled fairly behind closed doors with our respective counsels in due time. Those who know each of us, know who we are.”

August 9, 2024: Christina Shares an Update

Almost a month after Josh filed for divorce, Christina told followers how she was doing. In an August 9, 2024, update on her Instagram Story, she wrote, “One month later … I finally have my appetite back. I’m exercising again. My kids are happy and our house feels like home. ‘Those poor kids’ adore me … anyone who knows us for real knows this and that’s what matters.” She added that she’s “laughed more than I have in forever” during nights out with friends and that “work is going so good it feels like a dream.”

Christina also explained, “I have a life coach and I made myself and her a promise — I will never ever give away my peace again. I will say — if you’ve ever lost peace and gained it back there is a new level of gratitude for every single moment of life. A huge level of appreciation for the present moments and being present. If that’s the lesson I’ll take it. When you have a positive mindset the rest will work itself out like it always does.”

January 9, 2025: Christina Says Josh Was ‘Hard to Film With’ on ‘The Flip Off’

Prior to their split, Josh and Christina filmed episodes of her new HGTV show, The Flip Off, together. She told Us Weekly in an interview published on January 9, 2024, that Josh was “very hard to film with.”

“He’d always get upset with me, like, ‘Oh, my gosh, you did this,’ or ‘You did that.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m making a TV show,’” she said. “Ultimately, it was better that he left after episode 1 because the show would’ve sucked.”

Meanwhile, Josh claimed that the show “manufactured” drama between him and his ex.

“[That feeling when] you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity designers, so you rely on manufactured drama with me, a nobody. @hgtv, you’ve changed,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories over a screenshot of an article teasing a “tense fight” between him and Christina.

Christina fired back at the claim, writing on her Instagram Stories, “Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me … That was all natural.”

January 9, 2025: Christina Says Divorce Might Go to Trial

Christina revealed on Radio Andy’s Jeff Lewis Live on January 9, 2025, that she and Josh were “not even close” to settling their divorce. “We’re going to be going to trial I hear,” she added, claiming that Josh “doesn’t want to do mediation.”

“It’s going to be fun,” she continued. “Can’t wait.”

Christina also claimed that although the “court hasn’t ordered” her to pay Josh yet, he has allegedly “been asking me [for money].”

“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,” she concluded.

Josh’s rep responded to the interview with a statement to Us Weekly. “Hall is not available for comment, as he’s continuing to live his life in the present and celebrating his beautiful new girlfriend’s birthday,” his spokesperson said. “With that said, it’s sad Christina must resort to low blows about her ex Josh to promote her new show. 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.”

The statement concluded, “Christina knows nothing about Josh’s life, and it’s sad she keeps speculating. Her accusations are baseless.”

She’s learned her lesson, now she says she wants to be engaged for at least five years.”
