HGTV’s Christina Haack Says She’s Not a Good Fit for ‘Real Housewives’: ‘Not Into Girl Drama’
Christina Haack isn’t interested in trading HGTV for Bravo. The Flip Off star recently revealed that she’d been approached about joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County. But she doesn’t think she’d be a good fit for the show.
Christine Haack says she’s too ‘boring’ for ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’
Christina, an Orange County native, has been a reality star for more than a decade. She and her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, became HGTV fixtures thanks to their renovation show Flip or Flop. She’s since gone on to star in Christina on the Coast, Christina in the Country, and The Flip Off. Meanwhile, her complicated personal life has generated plenty of tabloid headlines, thanks to her high-profile split from Tarek and subsequent marriages to and divorces from Ant Anstead and Josh Hall.
Some fans think all that drama would make Christina a good fit for Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Orange County. She disagrees.
Christina was a guest on the March 27 episode of Sirius XM’s Jeff Lewis Live. A caller asked if Bravo had ever asked her to join RHOC.
“Informally, yes,” she replied.
“I actually don’t think I would be that good on it because I’m really not into girl drama,” she said. “I feel like it’d be so boring because I really don’t care.”
The HGTV star wants to ‘stay in my lane’
Jeff worried that if Christina did jump ship to Bravo, she might not receive a warm welcome.
“The problem is, who knows what they’ll do to her. They’ll gang up on her,” he said.
“That’d be kind of fun,” she replied. “I don’t mind the ganging up.”
Christina’s new boyfriend, businessman Chris LaRocca, was also in the studio. He thought she’d be great on RHOC, especially because she’s already friendly with longtime cast member Heather Dubrow. (Heather actually stepped up to serve as a judge on The Flip Off.) Christina thought Chris’ support was sweet, but she didn’t feel the need to make a big change.
“Let’s stick with my day job,” the designer and mom of three said said. “I’ve got big plans for home still. Let’s just stay in my lane.”
The season finale of Christina on The Coast aired March 13. Episodes are now streaming on Max and discovery+.
