They Did Not Comment
Joanna and Chip declined to comment on this. In the end, HGTV took the time to tell viewers that it was totally against discrimination of any kind. The network went as far as to emphasize, “HGTV is proud to have a crystal-clear, consistent record of including people from all walks of life in its series.”
Meredith Baer Was Sued
In 2016, Meredith Baer headed to court after a disgruntled client filed a lawsuit against her. Adam Piekarski said that he hired her to improve the state of his Manhattan apartment. It apparently cost him over $50,000 to get this privilege. Aside from that, she allegedly charged him extra monthly fees of $5,000. Sadly, the client felt that he did not get the best bang for his buck whatsoever.
