‘Selling Sunset’ star evicting rent-controlled tenants whose landlord set fire to their homes

Cathy Livas stands in front of her North Hollywood apartment she has lived in for 40 years. El Moussa co-hosts a real estate show on HGTV called “The Flipping El Moussas” with his wife, Heather, who is also a cast member on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.” El Moussa shared that he had just finished walking the nearby property where the couple is developing a “super cool, super modern” 138-unit apartment complex with a rooftop pool. In a video posted to YouTube in May, Tarek El Moussa, whose first real estate reality show was called “Flip or Flop,” stood outside the property touting it as “my biggest flip ever.” “I am more excited about this thing than anything I’ve ever done in my life,” El Moussa said. “By no means was he making any insinuation or mockery of the tenants’ past experience with the seller.” Letmon and Rodriguez have tried to track the El Moussas’ promotion for the development. “Regardless of the alarming personal attacks sent to Tarek El Moussa and his family via social media DM, he continues to remain sensitive to the situation of the tenants,” she said.
