Christina Haack has shed some light on her divorce settlement with Josh Hall, hinting she feels 'screwed' over by the agreement they finally reached.
Speaking on SiriusXM's 'Jeff Lewis Live', the reality star revealed she 'signed something' to get rid of the drama with her ex for good.
'There's like a process after the process. It was resolved in mediation after I think 12 hours.'
When Lewis asked the interior designer if she was happy with how the settlement turned out, she noted she wasn't interested in divulging all the details.
'I heard a saying once, like, if you both think you're screwed … I don't know how it goes,' she said. 'Look, it's not great, but I guess it's done.'
Co-host Shane Douglas clarified the phrase: 'If both parties are equally unhappy after the negotiation, then you got what you want.'
Although the details of the settlement haven't been revealed, Haack teased that she will stop by Lewis' show again when they become public record.
Last month, the embittered exes finalised their split. A rep for Haack told Us Weekly, 'Christina is pleased to confirm that a settlement has been reached through mediation.
'She extends her sincere appreciation to her lawyer, Laura Wasser, and her team for their professional guidance and support throughout the process.'
The HGTV star also praised her legal team on her social media, Realtor reports.
'You are all a true class act. I loved watching you in action and how you handle everything and everyone with class and grace,' Haack said on her Instagram story.
'I appreciate you all beyond words. I have learned so much under your guidance.'
The settlement came as a shock to fans and Haack, who previously lamented the ongoing legal proceedings during an appearance on the show 'Jeff Lewis Has Issues.'
'We're not even close [to a settlement]. We're going to be going to trial, I hear. It's going to be fun. Can't wait,' she said.
She claimed that Hall asked the court to force her to pay his legal fees, noting that she has not yet been 'ordered' to do so but that she has been supporting him financially.
The court hasn't 'ordered me yet, but he's been asking me [for money],' she said.
'I've already had to give a little something, but then he bought a Bentley.
'I gave him money to live, and he bought a Bentley, but he also doesn't have a job, so …'
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Haack asked that neither she nor Hall pay spousal support, adding that she wanted her ex to pay her lawyer fees.
On the flip side, Hall requested spousal support and asked Haack to pay his lawyer fees.
In response to Haack's interview rant about him, Hall's spokesperson shared a comment on his behalf, quoting a Mariah Carey song.
'It's sad Christina must resort to low blow about her ex Josh to promote her new show,' it read in part.
'She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, 'Why you so obsessed with me?' We wish Christina the best.
'Christina knows nothing about Josh's life, and it's sad she keeps speculation. Her accusations are baseless.'
Sharing a screenshot of the statement on her Instagram account, Haack vented her fury about the comment.
'I just threw up in my mouth. Quoting a Mariah Carey song is a new low … even for you,' she wrote.
'Trust me idgaf about Josh's life. I do however care about his bts tactics. Narcissism at its finest,' she added.
Hall filed for divorce from Haack in July 2024 after three years of marriage.
The pair have the past few months embroiled in a bitter feud with Haack accusing her ex of trying to take her money and her property, allegations that he has vehemently denied.
The former couple have been at odds over the HGTV star's $US4.5 million ($A6.9 million) Tennessee farmhouse since their split last year.
Back in February, Haack delisted her farmhouse again as Hall continued his legal battle to block the sale.
The real estate investor first listed the property back in October, only to take it off the market three weeks later, when it was revealed that Hall had filed a temporary emergency order to try to halt the sale of the home, which is known as Parker Branch.
Hall — who was living in the house when it was listed — claimed the property was put up for sale without his consent, despite him offering Haack a global settlement, which she turned down.
Although Haack bought the home before she and Hall were married, he claimed in legal documents that the 'paydown of the mortgage during marriage' entitled him to a say in what happened to the property.
Haack split from her first husband Tarek El Moussa in 2016. They had two children over their nine-year marriage. In 2018, she married Ant Anstead with the duo welcoming son, Hudson London, in 2019.
Anstead and Haack split in 2021, with the reality TV star marrying Hall in 2022. It is understood she is now dating businessman Christopher Larocca.
