Tarek El-Moussa has hit back at Christine Quinn.
Christine, who co-stars with Tarek’s fiancee Heather Rae Young on Netflix series Selling Sunset, previously compared the couple to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag of The Hills fame who infamously used to stage paparazzi pictures.
Now while speaking on the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fat Tarek, 39, said: ‘Christine has a big mouth’ and noted she has ‘said some s***ty things about us.’

Tarek, who rose to fame on the home renovation show Flip Or Flop said that ‘we’re not really interested in’ Christine Quinn’s ‘nonsense.’
He noted the comparison to ‘Speidi’ and said: ‘Listen, just because she’s never been famous before, she doesn’t know how it works.’
Tarek soldiered ahead: ‘She doesn’t have to talk. It just makes her look stupid. So she was trying to claim that, you know, we’re out there calling paparazzi on ourselves. I’m sorry – I’ve been on TV for 10 years.’
Flip Or Flop began in 2013 back when Tarek was married to his co-host Christina Anstead, and they are still starring on it together in spite of the divorce.

As he slated Christine on the podcast Tarek joked that Heather was ‘telling me to shut up,’ and then he qualified his remarks by saying that ‘there’s no bad blood. I just don’t wanna deal with her bulls***.’
He pointed out that Christine has ‘never been on TV. She doesn’t know – she didn’t know how it works and she opened her mouth, and at the end she looked stupid, not us, because I’ve been on TV for 10 years. I’ve been through a public divorce. I couldn’t get away from the paparazzi.’
‘Yeah, so of course people are interested in our lives,’ said Heather. ‘Like, he hadn’t been with another, you know, woman in four and a half years. Of course they’re gonna be interested in another reality star dating a reality star.’
Tarek iterated that there was no ‘beef,’ but that ‘we just stay away,’ and Heather concurred that they ‘don’t really talk that much’ with Christine.
Sizzling: Christine spoke to Page Six and compared the couple to Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag of The Hills fame (pictured) who infamously used to stage paparazzi pictures
‘“It’s really funny to see Heather’s relationship play out because her and her boyfriend have such an interesting dynamic,’ Christine said to Page Six in July.
‘I call them “Speidi” all the time because it’s like articles all the time about baking cookies, you know, watching movies,’ she went on.
Years ago Spencer told the blog Pop Culture Died In 2009 that he and Heidi at one point ‘were making over a million dollars selling our paparazzi photos, so you start doing a lot of them and you’re like: “This is the best gig ever!”‘
Christine, who has become the fan villain on Selling Sunset, vamped: ‘It’s ridiculous, so you know, you’re going to see the girls and I just get so tired of it.’

Meanwhile Tarek’s first wife Christina shares two children with him, a daughter called Taylor and a son called Brayden.
She has since married and split from the silver fox British TV presenter Ant Anstead, with whom she shares a one-year-old son called Hudson.
