Christina Hall Accuses Ex Josh Hall of Diverting More Than $35,000 Amid Divorce
Christina Hall is anything but flippant in her divorce from Josh Hall.
In fact, the Flip or Flop alum made some serious allegations against her estranged husband in court documents obtained by E! News July 25, accusing him of transferring more than $35,000 into his own bank account without her permission.
Christina—who cited July 7 as the date of separation in her divorce papers—alleged that Josh had contacted her property manager on July 8 to request that income from rentals in Tennessee be diverted to his personal account.
"The property manager complied with the request believing I had authorized the change of accounts," the 41-year-old wrote in a signed declaration, noting that her ex's request was "not accurate as I had no personal contact with Josh on July 8, 2024."
She continued, "I would not have asked him to send himself my money the day after I told him we are getting divorced."
The Christina on the Coast star also refuted that she and Josh broke up on July 8, the date of separation he listed in his divorce filing.
"Quite frankly I am shocked and concerned by the fact that he has diverted over $35,000 of my separate property money to his separate account on July 8, 2024," Christina wrote. "The fact that this is the same date he now alleges to be our date of separation, even though it is actually July 7, 2024, makes it clear why he chose the next day."
Furthermore, Christina accused Josh of withholding funds for a Carson, Calif., property she is in the middle of renovating. She said the property is currently titled to a limited liability company (LLC) Josh had set up without her knowledge that named him as its sole manager and owner.
"My separate property company Christina Entertainment, LLC transferred $200,000 to improve the property," she wrote. "Those funds are required to be spent during this project and time is of the essence as the project is underway. I cannot access the funds and Josh has refused to turn over the LLC and account to me so that I can do my job."
Christina is now asking for the return of the $35,000 that was transferred to Josh's bank account and for her ex to hand over control of the LLC tied to the Carson property.
And though Josh requested in his divorce papers that all property acquired during their two-year marriage be divided equally, Christina is also asking to have exclusive use of their shared Newport Beach home for the time being until their legal separation is resolved.
"Like all hard-working mothers, my life revolves around my children and my work," Christina—who shares kids Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8, with ex Tarek El Moussa and son Hudson, 4, with ex Ant Anstead—wrote in her declaration. "It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me."
Reflecting on her legal predicament, Christina added, "It makes me wonder what else I am not aware of as it relates to his financial situation and that is why I am having a full forensic accounting performed for the entire term of our marriage."
E! News has reached out to Christina and Josh's reps for comment but hasn't heard back.
