‘Fixer Upper’ Star Sued For Fraud

“Fixer Upper” star Chip Gaines is being sued by two former business partners in a million-dollar fraud lawsuit.

According to court documents obtained by KWTX, John L. Lewis and Richard L. Clark, former co-owners of Magnolia Realty, claim Gaines bought them out of the company two days before HGTV picked up “Fixer Upper” which “prominently featured the ‘Magnolia’ brand name.”

Lewis and Clark filed their 24-page lawsuit Wednesday in state district court in Waco, Texas, and are seeking more than $1 million in damages and non-monetary relief, KWTX reports.

The scorned business partners say Gaines bought their shares of Magnolia Realty for $2,500 each while working with HGTV on the future hit show.
