Love It Or List It Lawsuit

The HGTV show Love It or List It was sued by North Carolina homeowners Deena Murphy and Tim Sullivan after they accused the shows production company, Big Coat TV, of breach of contract. The lawsuit filed in Chatham County was eventually settled, according to court records. After documenting the damage done to their home and publicizing their lawsuit, the North Carolina couple who sued Love It Or List Its production company, Big Coat TV, were countersued, according to The News & Observer.

After a year of wrangling in the courts, through documents that created a file nearly four-inches thick, Murphy, Sullivan and the Love It or List It production company settled the case. That was the case with Deena Murphy and Timothy Sullivan, a Chatham County couple who sued Big Coat TV, the Canadian-based company that produces the show, slightly more than a year ago in Durham County Superior Court. A couple in Raleigh, North Carolina, are going for a third option: Sue the production company that makes "Love It Or List It," as well as the contractor who did the home renovation, according to the Raleigh News-Observer.

Murphy and Sullivan contend in a lawsuit filed in Durham County Superior Court that the programs big reveal in their case, revealed big problems for which they hope to be compensated. HGTV's shows have brought comfort and innovation to millions of viewers, but a bombshell lawsuit quietly exposed the major fakery behind-the-scenes. Thats exactly what happened with one couple who was featured in HGTVs hit show Love It or List It.

The homeowners actually ended up filing a lawsuit, but viewers obviously didnt see the fall-out on the TV show. One couple who filed a lawsuit against the Canadian company that produces "Love It or List It," Big Coat TV, alleged that they were not shown houses for sale by a licensed real estate agent in the area who could broker the sale of the home (via The Charlotte Observer). HGTV's hit home renovation show Love It or List It is in the middle of a legal battle with a North Carolina couple after their home was allegedly left "irreparably damaged."
