Christina Hall has revealed the heartbreaking reason she ended her marriage to Josh Hall – because her kids had noticed that he was "not nice" to her.
In a sneak peek clip ahead of the release of Christina's new show The Flip Off, her ex-husband Tarek El-Moussa – who appears on the show with his wife Heather – walks into Christina's home and asks, "you good?" when he sees the look on her face.
"No... Josh and I officially split up," she responds, before sharing that they had an argument that saw him throwing "middle fingers in my face".

Christina is mom to 13-year-old daughter Taylor, eight-year-old son Brayden – both of whom she welcomed with Tarek – and four-year-old Hudson, whose father is Ant Anstead.
"Things with Josh have been bad for a long time," Christina added; the clip was posted by People magazine.

"I feel like I’m in a tornado all the time and I just can’t get out of it," she continued before breaking down in tears and adding: "Everything since like 2016 has been so hard and so horrible. It’s really taken a really bad toll on me."
