Interestingly, Hall never expected much attention from the media after first landing the HGTV house-flipping series.

The designer would come to discover that her friend was right.

The nasty comment, which read in part, “Wow!!

Christina Hall smiling in 2019

A c-section and bottle feeding??”

was intended to criticize the HGTV star’s parenting choices.

The user further wrote, “Should have just got a cat you deadbeat fake.

@tarekandchristina you are disgusting.

This is why you had to struggle for another one.”

According toGood Housekeeping, the lightphotoswere part of a promotional shoot for L Space Swim.

So why the backlash?

One comment read, “I am done with your [show.

You] are not making good mother choices,” while another stated, “I agree.

What mother does this???”

Fortunately, other fans of the HGTV designer were quick to defend her actions.

“What stupid reactions so many have.

Go to the beach and see what most people wear.

I see nothing wrong with this photo.”

Hall said she got back inside her car and called her best friend and publicist, Cassie Zebisch.

“The first question [Cassie] asked me was, ‘What were you wearing?’

And I’m like, ‘Noooo,'” she said, laughing while telling the story.

Hall was wearing a T-shirt that said “Pink Champagne, Can’t Complain.”

“It just wasn’t, probably, appropriate.”

However, the former married couple decided to continue filming together despite their split.

Hall responded, “Somebody?

… What does she look like?”

After learning she was blonde, she jokes, “I thought you didn’t like blondes anymore.”

Season 7 would have more tense moments to come.

The co-stars were spotted meeting up for coffee at a Starbucks in Newport Beach, California.

Considering they share two children together, it makes sense that the two would have plenty to discuss.

At the time, the former couple had not yet filed for divorce.

In a statement toPeople, they explained that their top priority was their two children.

“The most difficult part of the decision to separate was the kids,” they said.

“We want the best for them, and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that.”

After they separated, scenes were no longer filmed there.

“When Tarek and I got divorced, I kept the house.

And it has so many memories.”

At the end of the episode, the exes openly reflect.

The world knows you’re crazy!"

El Moussa was regretful afterward, telling E!

“I feel like it’s not really fair to you or myself to continue house flipping with you.

There’s been ups and downs, but it’s mostly been fun.”

A source familiar with the situation gave additional details toPeopleabout what may have led to Hall’s decision.

“Tarek and Christina are generally cordial.

They’re co-parenting and nothing gets in the way of that,” claimed the source.

The photos show Tarek pulling Heather away after exchanging heated words with Christina.

Tarek and Josh also argued, allegedly having to be separated by the coach.

Us Weeklyfollowed up, with a source alleging the foursome was “embarrassed” and wanted to move forward.

In the end … what matters is the kids."
