Christina Hall is not going to let her ongoing divorce from estranged husband Joshua Hall get twisted in the general public eye, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“He’s painting an image that he’s a victim, like he hasn’t done anything incorrect — and she or he’s not going to permit that to occur,” the insider says on the heels of Christina, 41, resharing a TMZ article via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 25, that claimed Joshua, 43, was “blindsided” by their split.
After sharing a snippet of the Thursday article that claimed Joshua was “blindsided and heartbroken” and she or he “stopped talking to him,” Christina offered more words to her followers.
“I didn’t block him — and I didn’t see any missed calls or texts the following day. Which happened to be my birthday. Strange. No flowers, no card, no messages like, ‘Hope you’ve a pleasant birthday,’” Christina wrote via her Instagram Stories. “Hmm … something’s not adding up here. But I’m all the way down to keep playing ‘Christina vs. the Victim’ as I like this game.”
Christina has refuted a lot of Joshua’s claims since they each filed for divorce earlier this month. She accused her ex of diverting over $35,000 of her “separate property money” to his checking account “without [her] authorization” after learning of her plans to divorce him, per court documents obtained by Us on Friday, July 26. She also alleged that Joshua has access to their home security cameras that might keep her and her children “under surveillance.”
Christina included an alleged text message from Joshua to the property manager as a part of her latest filing that read: “For June payments, can we please get it sent to a distinct account when it’s time?” and provided his personal checking account to deposit the funds.
Christina said the property manager agreed to the request “believing I had authorized the change of accounts and asked for account details and Josh provided his own account.”

“I’m asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance and maintenance for these rental properties,” Christina wrote within the docs.
She continued, “The undeniable fact that this is identical date he now alleges to be our date of separation, though it is definitely July 07, 2024, makes it clear why he selected the following day. It makes me wonder what else I’m not aware of because it pertains to his financial situation and that’s the reason I’m having a full forensic accounting performed for your complete term of our marriage.”

“I even have worked my ass off to construct this life for myself and my children,” Christina wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 25. “And anyone who would attempt to take what they don’t deserve/what they did NOT work for ought to be ashamed. An insecure man with a big ego can sure attempt to derail you — but ‘still I rise.’”
Christina noted, “Divorces don’t occur overnight” and called the “breaking point” of her relationship “personal.”

On Instagram Stories, she also shared the duvet of a “page turner” called It’s Not You about “healing from narcissistic people” before responding to an article claiming Joshua “co-owned” the rental properties that he allegedly diverted funds from.
“Pretty sure I purchased this before I met you and a 1031 exchange,” Christina wrote. “Handled the bills? Like paid for them together with your money? Uh ya noooo. Def not.”
