After Christina Haack broke up with Josh Hall, her ex-husband Tarek El Moussa called HGTV and their attorney to notify them that Hall would "no longer" be part of their home renovation series, The Flip Off.
Producers agreed to El Moussa's request and had him and Haack film a segment where she explained that Hall wouldn't be part of the show moving forward.
Haack and El Moussa were together from 2009 to 2016 and share two children. She later married Hall in 2021, before the pair went their separate ways in 2024.
Christina Haack says her first husband Tarek El Moussa was instrumental in helping to get her estranged third husband, Josh Hall, removed from their home renovation series.
The HGTV star, 42, told PEOPLE that El Moussa personally called both their shared attorney and the network to notify them that Hall would "no longer" be part of their series The Flip Off after their split. Haack and Hall, who married in 2021, were filmed engaging in several heated conversations while on the show and ultimately filed for divorce in July 2024.
After Haack and Hall had their final fight, she told the outlet that El Moussa stepped in and "told our attorney and told the network for me that Josh would no longer be a part of the show."

Everyone was all on board with the plan. "They said 'No problem. That's fine,'" she recalled. "They just said, 'We need Christina to have a scene where she tells you, Tarek, that Josh is no longer going to be a part of the show.'"
The Flip Off was originally set to be a competition series that would see Haack and Hall go up against El Moussa and his second wife Heather Rae El Moussa in a house-flipping competition. However, after their breakup, the series instead featured Haack going up against the El Moussas by herself.
Haack said that she and El Moussa filmed the sequence in which they discussed Hall's ongoing involvement in the show roughly a week later.
"[The producers] didn't tell me anything. They just said, 'Tarek's coming over. We want you to tell him that you and Josh broke up,'" she said. "But for me, [the scene] was never really about Josh. It was more about me and Tarek and everything that's happened since then."
During their conversation, Haack and El Moussa came together and forgave each other "100%" for all of their past mistakes.
"I think that scene lasted probably an hour and a half in reality and everyone was crying: the camera operators, the production crew. It was emotional," she said. "Through the years we have obviously had talks, and we've apologized to each other, but not on camera and not like that. I don't think he expected me to go there."

Haack and El Moussa, who were married for eight years and share daughter Taylor and son Brayden, got their start as the hosts of the popular home renovation series Flip or Flop in 2013. While the couple ultimately went their separate ways in 2016, they continued to work together on the series until it came to a close after 10 seasons in 2022.

Haack told the outlet that the pair have "both taken ownership for our responsibilities" in the years since their split.
"We've known each other since we were 22 and I respect him. He's a hard worker. He's a great dad. He's come a long way in our relationship," she added. "Both of us have a lot of gratitude and both of us have a lot of respect for each other."
In the years since their split, El Moussa has gotten remarried and shares a 2-year-old son named Tristan with his wife, Heather Rae. Haack is also mom to a son named Hudson, whom she shares with her second ex-husband Ant Anstead.
In January, Haack revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show that it was "so much easier" filming The Flip Off without Hall. "I don't have to ask approval from anyone," she said at the time. "No one's, like, weighing me down."
