HGTV star Tarek El Moussa is clapping back. The network marked the premiere of “Flipping El Moussas” with a December 26 Instagram post featuring a clip from that night’s premiere episode, and while many fans took to the HGTV comment section to share their excitement about the series’ return, some users had less-than-stellar things to say about Tarek and his wife Heather El Moussa’s house flipping work.
After one user commented, “Shocking how boring and bland another one of their ‘flips’ are? No thanks,” Tarek replied directly to them, writing, “Watch tonight and come back and I guarantee you will be saying something different.”
New episodes of “The Flipping El Moussas” air Thursday nights on HGTV.
Tarek El Moussa Wasn’t Afraid to Jump in the Comment Section
Tarek didn’t leave it there, as he jumped into the replies of two other users in the HGTV post’s comment section.
“Who are they?” one user asked, with Tarek responding, “how’s it living on mars lol :)”
In another thread, Tarek had a back and forth with a fan who commented, “I can’t stand either one of them.”
“That’s fine, but I’ll bet you’ll love our house as this season lol,” Tarek wrote, prompting the fan to respond, “I will not be watching your show at all. So, you’re going to be losing your bet,” and Tarek to finish the conversation by adding, “Can’t fix stubborn! Good luck to you.”
This isn’t the first time Tarek has responded to hate comments online, as he and Heather made a video in September 2024 of him reading and laughing at comments he got on a prior birthday post, including, “He got more than Botox, looks like he bought a new hairpiece, too ?,” and “Bro, you look every minute of 43.”
Tarek & Heather El Moussa Get Ready for ‘The Flip Off’
While “The Flipping El Moussas” just started airing its second season on HGTV, Tarek and Heather are already looking ahead to their new competition show with his ex-wife Christina Haack, “The Flip Off”.
The flipping competition pits the exes against each other as they compete to get the biggest return on investment for a flipped property. Heather shared a post on December 27 posing with Tarek and Christina. “Looks like three’s a crowd…tune in to ‘The Flip Off’ [Wednesday, January 29 at 8 p.m. Eastern] 👀 🔥 🛠️ BUT, only 1️⃣ will be crowned the winner! Who’s ready to find out?” Heather captioned the post.
