The upcoming reality series, The Flip Off, starring former Selling Sunset stars Tarek and Heather El Moussa, has become the center of controversy following the release of a viral video. The video features Heather playfully tossing Tarek into a garbage bag, sparking intense debate online.
The clip, accompanied by the song “Leave (Get Out)” by JoJo, has divided audiences. While some find the humor in the lighthearted moment, others criticize it as disrespectful and even violent. The couple has defended the video, arguing it is a comedic sketch between a husband and wife.

The El Moussas’ controversial video follows a tumultuous period in their lives. Following their contentious divorce and the end of their hit HGTV show, Flip or Flop, they are now filming The Flip Off, competing with Christina and Joshua Hall to maximize profits on house flips. The series promises to be a drama-filled spectacle, with the ex-spouses engaging in playful barbs and competition.
Despite the online backlash, Tarek and Heather appear unfazed by the controversy. They have responded with humor, engaging in playful social media pranks with their followers. It remains to be seen how viewers will ultimately react to the series when it premieres in 2025.
