Were Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall Involved in a Multi-Million Dollar Scheme?

Tarek El Moussa and his ex-wife Christina Hall are no strangers to drama and chaos, and now it seems they’re involved in a house-flipping controversy.

Although they aren’t the main conspirators, their association with a Utah-based consulting company has raised eyebrows.

Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall have had a tumultuous year. They have a new show lined up for 2025, The Flip Off, which is a revival of their former HGTV series, Flip or Flop. In the new series, they’ll compete against each other to flip a house, each accompanied by their new spouses.

However, things took a turn when Christina Hall and her husband Josh Hall announced their divorce. The show is expected to continue without Josh, adding another layer of complexity to an already messy situation.

Now, Tarek and Christina are potentially facing even more challenges.

According to Deadline, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is awarding $12 million in refund payments to individuals who fell victim to a Utah-based brand associated with Tarek El Moussa, Christina Hall, and other HGTV stars.

“Zurixx LLC lured students into taking expensive seminars on house flipping. The company agreed to a settlement in February 2022 after it was accused of using false earning claims to attract would-be real estate entrepreneurs. Some participants paid tens of thousands of dollars to take part in the Zurixx seminars,” Deadline writes.

The publication also mentions that several of the HGTV stars involved didn’t attend the classes in person. Instead, they reportedly sent pre-recorded messages. Essentially, it seems Zurixx made promises it couldn’t keep.

It’s been a tough journey for the victims, but government officials are stepping in to correct the wrongs.

“Many victims will finally be getting some justice. Thousands who were coached into fraudulent investments by Zurixx owners will receive checks from this substantial settlement,” said the Attorney General for the state of Utah. “Removing these actors permanently from the coaching space is a significant win for Utah. We hope this serves as a warning to others who might consider setting up similar programs based on false earning claims.”

Without a doubt, this situation casts a shadow over Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall, who already have their hands full with ongoing drama. Only time will tell what further implications their ties to Zurixx may have.
