After Tarek El Moussa went on a verbal tirade against his ex-wife and Flip or Flop co-star Christina Haack, there is a chance it could affect his career and relationship. When Tarek and Christina filed for divorce in 2017, Christina knew it was the best option for the sake of their kids and their co-parenting relationship. The divorce was finalized a few months later, in January 2018. When the former couple was no longer together, Christina began dating Ant Anstead, with whom she later married and welcomed her son, Hudson. Christina and Ant are now divorced.
Tarek was, of course, upset about Christina's new relationship as he was still mourning the end of their marriage. While he was supportive of the new romance, he couldn't help but feel alone. During the summer of 2019, he met Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young after he was invited onto her friend's boat, and the two immediately hit it off. After more than a year together, Tarek elaborately proposed to Heather while filming his new HGTV series, Flipping 101 With Tarek El Moussa. Their blended family seemed to be getting along up until the massive blow-up.
Over a month ago, Tarek exploded on Christina during a break from filming their shared HGTV series. According to sources close to TMZ, Christina signaled to Tarek that she and production were ready to resume filming. Tarek felt she was condescending towards him and freaked out on her. Some of what Tarek said to her, such as calling Christina a "washed-up loser," that he "made" her career, and that he enjoys watching her fail, are completely below the belt. While Tarek may have said these things out of anger, it is not a good look for the house flipper. People in show business, especially nowadays, don't want to work with someone who would speak to a woman like that without hesitation. His tirade makes it seem as though Tarek, who chose to work with Christina post-divorce, has some pent-up aggression and is a borderline sexist. While he may be none of those things, his reactions tell a different story.
Future career goals may even be put on a halt if Tarek doesn't fix his attitude with Christina. Nonetheless, the public doesn't know what happens behind closed doors, and Christina could be egging him on. However, down the line, this may even affect his relationship with his fiancée Heather. For most women, a verbal tirade like the one Tarek was on would be a turn-off. No one wants to see their significant other get into a verbal altercation, especially with the mother of their children. Heather, who celebrated her engagement with Tarek, is sticking by her man, as neither of them has addressed the now-public dispute. Sources close to Tarek told People that he fell "super remorseful" after the blowout. The two got into a disagreement, and he took it too far. The two are not on the best of terms, but they are working together to make their co-parenting and working relationship a healthy environment.
For Tarek to continue as a successful house flipper and HGTV star, he needs to keep his emotions in check. While it may be difficult to keep his anger to himself while working with Christina on Flip or Flop, Tarek needs to remember that his actions could have serious repercussions. Hopefully, Tarek and Christina can work on having a better relationship for the sake of their family and their careers.
