Heather Rae El Moussa breaks silence on HGTV bloodbath as she speculates over show's return
Heather Rae El Moussa has spoken out after her show, The Flipping El Moussas, was cancelled by HGTV. In recent weeks, the channel has axed Farmhouse Fixer, Izzy Does It, Christina on the Coast, Married to Real Estate, Battle on the Beach, and Bargain Block, as well as the program Heather fronted with her husband, Tarek El Mouusa. In a new interview, the Selling Sunset star, 37, addressed the cancelation news and poured doubt over whether her other show, The Flip Off, will come back. 'Obviously, I do know they are going through big internal changes, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there,' Heather said. 'I don't have a statement for that, but I can say how much I've enjoyed being on HGTV.' Heather also told Us Weekly that she isn't entirely sure if a third season of The Flipping El Moussas will return on a different network. She continued: 'Anything could happen. To be honest, it was a great show and it still is a great show. 'I know that the fans loved it, and Tarek and I really, really enjoyed filming that show. It's definitely a challenging market right now — and with real estate in general.' The Flipping El Moussas premiered in March 2023 and aired its season two finale just a few months ago. The series saw the couple overcome professional and personal challenges while they took on huge house flips. 'As a newly married couple, they've now combined their superpowers to expand their business and take on bigger and better flips,' the official synopsis teased. 'Tarek brings the flip knowledge and Heather brings an eye for high-end real estate. It's all about family as The Flipping El Moussas work together, learn together and grow together.' Heather also told the publication that she doesn't have 'any news' about whether a season two of The Flip Off will go ahead, despite previous reports that it will return. In The Flip Off, she and Tarek, 43, competed with his ex-wife Christina Haack, 42, to find, buy, renovate and flip a house for the biggest financial gain. 'I do know the fans would love to see it back and all three of us would love to see it back,' she added. 'We will definitely throw that idea around if season two comes about. But I love my partners and my husband.' Earlier this week, Deadline reported that HGTV's bold decision to cull seven programs was to help free up some money. According to the publication, HGTV home renovation shows can cost up to $500,000 per episode compared to real estate shows, which costs somewhere between $200,000 and $300,000, and can be produced in a shorter period. 'Home reno shows are expensive because all of the materials are jacked up and on delay, the price of wood and marble and everything else is going up so these shows don't make as much sense anymore,' one source told Deadline. On top of budget issues, a producer claimed some talent were being paid up to $100,000 an episode and were 'afraid to say no.' 'They allowed their talent to run amok,' an insider alleged. 'They gave them some form of creative control and that's harming their own shows. They were so afraid of talent they never said no and the shows aren't delivering anymore. 'They kowtowed to talent and now they're suffering the consequences.' Additionally, the publication claimed that HGTV has been struggling with ratings, as well as competition from TikTok stars and other channels. 'I don't know if it's a show thing as much of an audience thing where a lot of people are dropping cable,' another source said. 'There was a time when people would just put on HGTV when they were cleaning.'

Joy Taylor's time at Fox Sports officially came to an end on Monday. However, the former host appeared unfazed by the bombshell news. It was revealed earlier on Monday afternoon that the 38-year-old had been ousted from the network as part of a brutal overhaul, which sees three shows axed. Yet, as the report sparked an internet frenzy, Taylor refused to acknowledge her shock exit. Instead, she took to Instagram. The former sports host, who was embroiled in a bombshell sex lawsuit a few months ago, shared a video to the platform of herself in a tight-fitting blue workout set performing a series of exercises. Taylor, who appeared to be on vacation, could be seen jumping rope and carrying out arm workouts with a resistance band on an outdoor deck overlooking clear blue sea.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joy Taylor (@joytaylortalks) 'Couple sets before the beach,' she wrote in the caption, along side a flexed bicep emoji. Taylor shied away from any mention of her exit from Fox Sports as news of the network's brutal moves ran rampant online. As well as FS1 show 'Speak', which Taylor co-hosts, Fox is also cancelling two of its morning programs, as per The Athletic . All three shows are said to have struggled to find a huge audience, meaning they have now been brought to a close. Taylor, who co-hosted sports talk show Speak with ex-NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and NBA icon Paul Pierce, leaves Fox just months after she was accused of using sexual relationships with colleagues to further her career in a bombshell lawsuit filed by an ex-employee. The 38-year-old was also alleged to have told make-up artist Noushin Faraji to 'get over it' when she confided in her about claims she was sexually assaulted by top programming executive Charlie Dixon. Taylor denied the allegation. After nearly a decade with Fox, Taylor's contract was up this year and the network has reportedly decided not to renew it. FS1 is also said to be cancelling morning shows 'Breakfast Ball' and 'The Facility'.

Two weeks ago Taylor finally spoke out about the lawsuit that embroiled several Fox Sports stars in scandal, claiming the allegations left her battling 'dark times', 'grief' and 'trauma'. 'I won't say that there were not dark times, but I'm very blessed to have an amazing family and amazing friends and mentors and an amazing team,' she told ' The Breakfast Club '. 'People that know me and have known me for my whole life reminding me of who I am and what I deserve.' Taylor continued: 'I have felt a lot of different emotions - I think it's a grief process when anything like that happens,' she told The Breakfast Club. 'I'll say, I've been through a lot of traumatic things in my life. A lot. And I think any time you go through a trauma or a grieving period of something, you can't decide who you are when it's happening. 'And that's been the biggest thing for me. It's this or that. I'm working on it, but it's this or that. And I know years from now I'll look back, and I will feel differently than how I feel right now. 'I'm trying to be patient with myself in that way, because it's a lot to adjust to. It's a new reality. And I'm trying to choose myself and be gentle with myself in that sense.' Despite the furor, she continued to present 'Speak' and 'Two Personal', her podcast which includes graphic admissions about her sex life . Taylor explained why decided not to hide from the scrutiny, telling The Breakfast Club: 'It was intentional to show up as I did' She explained: 'When you know yourself, it's easier to continue to show up as you are. And there's always going to be things that happen in life, that happen in this business, that happen when you're a front-facing person. 'And when you get into the business, that is the risk we take. Of putting ourselves in front of the camera, of putting yourself out there. That things, at some point, might not be the best for you. I mean, what's meant for me is still coming.'
