Cash Flow Crisis: Why Christina Haack's HGTV Show Got the Ax

SCANDALOUS! Christina Haack's Show Axed by HGTV After PDA-Filled Photos Surface

In a shocking move, HGTV has pulled the plug on Christina Haack's reality show "Christina on the Coast" just three months after sizzling photos of her and boyfriend Christopher Larocca's steamy vacation made headlines. The 42-year-old star's show was canceled due to its dismal ratings and lackluster profits, according to insiders who spoke exclusively with thescholarlynote.com.

But that's not all - Haack's ex-husband Tarek El Moussa's show "The Flipping El Moussas" has also been axed from the network. Both shows were reportedly too expensive to produce and didn't generate enough revenue to justify their six-figure paychecks, sources revealed.

"It was a double whammy," said an insider. "Christina was grossly overpaid, making roughly $110,000 per episode. HGTV just couldn't afford her anymore."

The cancellation of Haack's show is not the first blow she's faced this year. Earlier in 2023, her other series "Christina in the Country" was also axed after two seasons.

Haack took to Instagram to break her silence on the latest cancellation, sharing a series of snaps featuring quality time with Larocca and their three kids. Her caption read: "Summer so far. Basically just eating and laughing. Canceled looks good on me… Only kidding only kidding."

But insiders claim Haack wasn't totally blindsided by the news. She had been trying to stay relevant and milk her divorce drama for publicity, hoping to prove to HGTV that fans still cared about her personal life.

"Her career was in trouble, and she knew it," said a source close to the situation. "She's been trying to keep herself in the spotlight by talking about her divorce."

Haack has had a tumultuous year, with her third husband Josh Hall filing for divorce just months ago. The pair reached a settlement in May, but details of their uncontested divorce remain under wraps.

Meanwhile, Haack's ex Tarek El Moussa is reportedly getting a second chance at love and fame alongside his new wife Heather El Moussa on the HGTV spinoff "The Flip Off." The show has been a ratings hit, and insiders claim it's a done deal for Season 2.

As the TV landscape continues to shift, fans are left reeling from the sudden cancelations. Insiders close to the situation say that employees of several shows are now fearing for their jobs as the network scrambles to cut costs and stay profitable.

"It's a bloodbath out there," said an insider who works directly with programming at HGTV. "Decisions are still being made, but it's not looking good for some of our shows."
