Below, we’ll discuss controversial things everyone ignores about Chip and Joanna Gaines.
This lead paint situation was a pretty short-lived controversy since the Gaineses were prompt to correct their mistake.
Their parenting skills came into question
Chip and Joanna Gaines are family people.
Austin pointed out that this isn’t possible for most people.
Right-wing conservative groups apparently believed this was a step too far and called for a Target boycott in response.
The Gaineses have not publicly commented on the controversy.
“There was a sense of betrayal and frustration,” John told People.
“We have been intimidated and harassed.
People have complained about their taxes going up because we moved here.
Store owners have complained about taxes.”
Ultimately, the Downses feel disappointed and betrayed.
But no one necessarily expected them to be against critical race theory, either.
On Reddit, several people have expressed their grievances.
OneRedditorshared that the Gaineses “literally ruined our community.
Taxes skyrocketed and so did the housing market.
They did nothing for the common Wacoan.”
Others who have had experiences with the Gaines family question the quality of their renovations.
OneRedditorwrote, “They’re a scam.
My husband is a framing carpenter and appalled by things he’s seen them do on the show.
“I’ve heard they can be ‘sharp’ people with whom to do business.
Not anything illegal, but they can be aggressive and cutthroat in their dealings,” oneRedditornoted.
I was Magnolia’s most loyal supporter but now find myself a victim of their growth and greed.”
