Popular HGTV series Windy City Rehab has reached the end of its second dramatic season when hostess Alison Victoria Gramenos had to take time out in the finale to deal with some bad legal news on camera.
But even though the season has hit the finish line, the host’s legal troubles seem far from over.
People report that the owners of a house in Windy City Rehab tried to freeze Victoria’s financial assets in an ongoing legal battle. Anna and James Morrissey, who bought a house from the show’s first season, filed a motion on October 8 to prevent Gramenos from “dispersing their fortunes, including the sale of property they own or control”.
According to Gramenos’ lawyer, the court rejected the application.
The Morrissey sued Gramenos and their former business partner, general contractor and developer Donovan Eckhardt in December 2019. The couple filed a new lawsuit on September 20 that year, adding the production company for the show, Big Table Media and Discovery Inc. , owned by HGTV.
The lawsuit alleges poor work, including “leaks and water ingress,” a crooked front door, crumbling exterior mortar, and problems with the roof and garage.
In the season two finale, Gramenos received a call about a second lawsuit from another couple.
“If you only knew what’s going on my phone,” she said in front of the camera. “I have people who come from the wood. I have homeowners who are contacted by the press. All I’ve ever done and all I’ve ever done is design. Honestly … sorry guys, I’m freaking out. “She then left the camera interview.
Later, on her return, she admitted, “I’m just dealing with a nightmare.”
HGTV hasn’t said if the show will return for a third season.
