Joanna Gaines is addressing allegations of racism and homophobia that have been lobbed at her and her husband, fellow reality star Chip Gaines.
The two rose to fame quickly thanks to the HGTV show "Fixer Upper," which saw them remodel homes for couples. It wasn't long before fans noticed that there was a lack of same-sex couples featured on the show and rumors of homophobia began to circulate.
Such rumors were compounded when Joanna, now 43, filmed a sit-down chat with a local pastor in 2016 who had openly denounced rights for the LGBTQ+ community.
