The Biggest HGTV Scandals Of All Time

HGTV: It’s a wholesome channel that you can watch with your grandparents or your kids. It’s a place to de-stress while looking at beautiful homes and enjoying shenanigans of all the hosts. But, when the cameras aren’t rolling, the stars of HGTV don’t always have things so perfect. 

Just recently, Christina Anstead (formerly El Moussa), host of Christina On the Coast, has made headlines for her split from husband Ant Anstead. The HGTV star, who is no stranger to having her marital woes in the tabloids, announced via Instagram on September 18 that she and her hubby were splitting after two years of marriage. After the post, the TV personality proceeded to delete all their wedding photos from her feed. Can you say drama?

While this may be the scandal on everyone’s news alerts right now, it’s certainly not the only one. From Flip or Flop’sTarek and Christina’s marital issues hitting the gossip magazines before their split to the disappointing reality of House Hunters to Fixer Upper’s Chip and Joanna Gaines’s own secrets around their show workings and political views, there has certainly been trouble in home-and-garden paradise throughout the years. Big-name celebrities have even gotten in on the scandalous action. It seems Ellen Degeneres, Lance Bass, and even Vanilla Ice have all found themselves entangled in some HGTV drama, too.
