Love It or List It Lawsuit

In 2016 Hillary said the show is not scripted but the same year a couple who appeared on the show sued the show and claimed the show was not only fake but that they also ruined their home with “cheap” renovations.

“The show is scripted, with roles and reactions assigned to the various performers and participants, including the homeowners. These characters are actors or television personalities playing a role for the camera, and in this case, none of them played more than a casual role in the actual renovation process.”

The lawsuit was filed against big Coat TV – the Canadian-based company that produces the show, and Aaron Fitz Construction, a North Carolina contractor hired to do the renovations.

The lawsuit alleged that “the couple contends that not only were they victims of shoddy work, they also suffered from a breach of contract, unfair trade practices in violation of North Carolina’s general contractor laws and a “bizarre” business model that creates an “inherent conflict of interest” for a production company that makes most of its money on TV advertising.”
