Christina Hall Reacts To 'Disturbing' Article Shared By Ex Ant Anstead About Their Custody Battle

Christina Hall is having none of it after an article seemingly used her to make a point about reality TV and kids.

On Tuesday, the "Flip or Flop" alum, 39, took to Instagram to slam a Psychology Today article that referenced her custody battle with her ex-husband Ant Anstead over their 3-year-old son Hudson.

Hall posted on her account a screenshot of the article, which Anstead, 43, had shared via his own Instagram account hours earlier, Us Weekly reported.

"What a poorly written article. Sloppy Journalism/ Click bait [sic] at its finest," the HGTV star wrote in the caption.

The article, titled "The 'Reality' of Kids on Television," discussed the laws that protect children who appear on TV and social media, and one of the examples it cited was Hall and Anstead's custody drama. The exes had joint custody of their son after their 2020 split until Anstead filed for full custody in April.

In her post, Hall directly quoted every mention of herself in the article and countered each point with a response. For instance, the author mentioned the need to have a "Hudson's Law."

Author Hilary Levey Friedman wrote in the article: "Despite Anstead agreeing to organic family posts being acceptable, Hall revealed, ironically in an Instagram post, that she will no longer use Hudson on her TV shows or any social media. A win for Hudson, yes, but it denies the courts an opportunity to set new case law and create precedent for children on reality TV and paid social media."

"I argue we should not wait for another legal battle to get to court to protect all kids on reality TV and social media. We need a 'Hudson's Law' now," the author continued.

In response, Hall wrote that "it wasn't ironic" because she "never fought to have Hudson film with me or post ads."

She explained that her children only film with her for an hour maximum once every couple of months, which she said was very different from shows like "Toddlers & Tiaras," where the children are the main characters. In addition to Hudson, she also shares Taylor, 12, and Brayden, 7, with her first ex-husband Tarek El Moussa.

Hall went on to fire back at the author, "Leave me out of your propaganda. Hudson's Law?! Really? That is absurd. You don't know anything about my household. Hudson is MY son. I've always protected him and always will."

The "Christina on the Coast" star continued to slam the author for mentioning her family issues in the piece, accusing the writer of using her and her son for her "narrative."

"It's trashy and disgusting," Hall wrote. "There are plenty of other home shows that feature their children and who continue to do so as part of the family dynamic, there are plenty of influencers across platforms who feature their children in advertisements without putting their kids in harm's way or using them as puppets."

Hall later updated her post after learning that her ex-husband, Anstead, promoted the article via his own social media and called it "utterly brilliant."

"It was just brought to my attention Hudson's father is promoting this article on his page, but with clap hands," the real estate investor wrote. "This makes this even more bizarre and disturbing."

In September court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Anstead alleged that his ex-wife "exploited" their child in paid promotional content on social media and expressed his concerns about Hall using their son's image as a "promotional tool" for her upcoming reality series.

Hall has since denied such claims. But she later agreed to never film Hudson or post about the child on social media.

"I am mentally exhausted over the recent false accusations against me. Hudson's father has made attempts to turn my family, friends and fans against me through manipulation tactics and false information," she wrote on Instagram.

"This has had [a] great impact on me and my household," she added. "Because of this, I have made the decision to no longer feature Hudson on Instagram, my tv shows or any social platforms until he is old enough to make this decision for himself."
