by EG
Looks like this feud has not been fixed.
“Fixer Upper” star Chip Gaines is being sued by two former business partners in a million-dollar fraud lawsuit.
John L. Lewis and Richard L. Clark, former co-owners of Magnolia Realty, said in their 24-page suit that Gaines bought them out of the company two days before HGTV picked up “Fixer Upper” which “prominently featured the ‘Magnolia’ brand name.”
Gaines fought back on Twitter Monday saying, “Fyi: Ive had the same cell # 15 yrs.. same email for 20 yrs. No one called or emailed? 4 years later “friends” reach out via lawsuit.. humm.”
