Christina Hall and Josh Hall’s divorce just got messier after she accused him of “stealing.”
According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Josh attempted to stop the sale of their $4.5 million home in Franklin, Tenn., by filing a temporary emergency order.
The TV personality claims he offered his estranged wife a global settlement offer, however, she denied the terms and listed the property anyway.
Per the docs, Josh was allowed to live in the home for 12 days last month when it was unoccupied.
He has since moved to another Tennessee property, where he is allegedly “suffering prejudice” because of the increase in his living expenses.
Josh alleged Christina, 41, did not get his permission to put their shared home up for sale when she asked on Sept. 23. She also failed to obtain a court order.
Christina, however, is the sole owner of the estate, known as Parker Branch. She purchased the property in 2021 before she and Josh tied the knot months later.
Josh argued that “the community maintains an appreciation interest due to the paydown of the mortgage during [the] marriage,” and selling the home too soon might “result in prejudice” toward him as “property values continue to rise in Tennessee, which continues to grow in population.”
Josh alleged he found out about the home’s listing via social media, and when he confronted the “Christina on the Coast” star, she allegedly said his refusal to sell the home was “ineffective.”
Josh claimed Christina refused to unlist the property despite the two allegedly agreeing that he would live at the Franklin estate and she would have “exclusive use and possession” of their Newport Beach, Calif., home.
“My relocation to Tennessee was significantly influenced by our aforementioned Stipulation (sic) allowing me to enjoy this property throughout our separation,” he said, per the filing.
“I will now suffer prejudice because my living expenses will undoubtedly increase.”
Josh, meanwhile, said the “Flip or Flop” star is “enjoying [their] community residence” and “is in control of [their] entire marital estate.”
“She has cut me out of our businesses post-separation, impacting my earnings,” he continued.
“I anticipate that Christina will claim that this sale is in the ‘usual course of business,’” Josh added.
“Any such argument is a farce. Parker Branch was purchased for us to enjoy as a family. It was not a business investment.”
He alleged Christina plans to sell the Tennessee home and purchase another in Napa Valley, Calif., which is her dream.
Reps for the “Christina in the Country” star weren’t immediately available for comment.
Josh’s latest moves come after Christina accused her estranged husband of trying to steal from her and her three kids, whom she shares with exes Tarek El Moussa and Ant Anstead.
Last week, the reality star put Josh on blast via a series of since-deleted social media posts, alleging he has been staying in the Tennessee home since July and it is now up for sale.
“Time to go back to reality soon … Remember when you said you would never steal from me or my kids and you would just be happy in a van with your dog? I guess plans changed,” she wrote.
The TV personality also accused Josh of stealing more money from two of her “sole properties and separate homes” and “asking for an obscene amount” of cash when they were only married for two years.
Josh’s rep denied the claims in a statement to Page Six, and called out Christina for handling their divorce proceeding on social media rather than in court “like an adult.”
The former couple filed for divorce in July.
