claim: joanna gaines, who costars in the hgtv home improvement show "fixer upper" with her husband chip, is leaving the show to start her own skincare line.
question: is joanna gaines quitting ‘fixer upper’?
origin: in march 2017, an assortment of dubious online advertisements masquerading as people articles declared that joanna gaines, costar of the hgtv home improvement series “fixer upper,” is suing to break her contract. the ads claimed that gaines, who hosts the show with her husband, wanted to leave “fixer upper” to start her own cosmetics line:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  hgtv has had enough. joanna has been showing up late to the construction sites as well as the filmings and now have found out joanna has been leading a double life. her disinterest in the show “fixer upper” with her hilarious husband chip gaines has fallen to the wayside due to her side business. here we reveal the truth behind what this side business is really all about…
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the star of hgtv’s hit tv show, joanna gaines, has shocked us all and 2017 has only just started. in recent developments, the reality star revealed that she just started a side beauty business because she is a serial entrepreneur and it’s just in her nature. she never expected it to grow as fast as it did. hgtv and the network as a whole was not happy when they found out about this (to say the least) and they made joanna decide on which direction she was going to go. being so turned off by the reaction of hgtv and their “power move” she decided to pursue her new skin care line.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the article went on to promote vlamorous, a purported “anti-aging serum.”
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  another version of the scam hawks a product allegedly created by gaines called bella serata anti-aging serum (the text is otherwise identical).
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  the ads prompted a spate of rumors that gaines is abandoning the popular tv show and questions from concerned viewers. gaines responded to these in a 21 april 2017 blog post entitled “don’t believe everything you read”:

  as often happens, however, the false reports continued to propagate via social media, eliciting this taciturn tweet from chip gaines a few weeks later:

  however, just shy of five months later, the gaineses announced on their blog that they would be quitting fixer upper at the end of season five, which is scheduled to begin airing on the hgtv network in november 2017:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  it is with both sadness and expectation that we share the news that season 5 of fixer upper will be our last. while we are confident that this is the right choice for us, it has for sure not been an easy one to come to terms with. our family has grown up alongside yours, and we have felt you rooting us on from the other side of the screen. how bittersweet to say goodbye to the very thing that introduced us all in the first place.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  they did not specify their reasons for leaving the show.
