Tarek El Moussa has been a familiar face on HGTV for over ten years, earning a decent fanbase. Yet, some viewers are now openly expressing their discontent online. According to a Reddit discussion, comments were quite critical. One user labeled him as “a mansplaining, condescending, arrogant jerk,” claiming he would be living at home if not for his TV career. This commenter highlighted concerns regarding his behavior towards women, particularly his ex-wife, Christina Haack, referencing her significant contributions to his career and her higher net worth.
Another viewer voiced disapproval of his comments comparing Haack to his current wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, due to his remarks on their ages. They pointed out that Tarek seemed insecure about his age, as he highlighted an age gap despite there being only four years between him and Christina. While Tarek and Haack’s relationship has improved since their split, with a friendly dynamic now, critics remain skeptical about embracing this ‘modern family’ scenario.
