For example, one couple claimed \u201csomebody fell through the floor into our basement\u201d twice during the renovations, and the floors were left uneven, the report outlined. Another claimed their price tag increased by $15,000.<\/p>\n<p>The home improvement couple have&nbsp;denied all the \u201cextremely painful\u201d allegations against them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen stories that has (sic) been circulating, and although we cannot speak for anyone but ourselves, we can say that we have always tried to give everything we have to make anyone we work with happy,\u201d the couple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CYb-tnoF8GZ\/\">posted<\/a> to Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have always kept lines of communication open, there have always been ways for people to recover any damages, there have been purchase contracts in place, legal avenues etc, but taking this public seems to be the easiest way to harm us personally,\u201d the Merediths continued. \u201cLike so many, these last two years have been extremely difficult for us and we have always tried to do our best in any situation, including not making a single penny from any of these clients and paying out of pocket to try to make them happy or right wrongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe adamantly deny that we have ever stolen any money from these couples,\u201d the post asserted, adding, \u201cWe worked with license general contractors. It is true that we are sometimes left with outstanding balances, but we always pay, even if it takes some time for us to make arrangements. To say anything otherwise is truly not ok. We have paid every amount of money we could to make things right and have continued making payments when necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gaines have made political news in the past, primarily for being open Christians. Notably, back in 2016,&nbsp;BuzzFeed and Cosmopolitan magazine broke the \u201cshocking\u201d story that the couple attend a Christian church that views&nbsp;homosexuality as a sin.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chip and Joanna Gaines&#8217;s Pastor Preaches &#8220;Homosexuality is a Sin&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0PHIehRECv\">https:\/\/t.co\/0PHIehRECv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fJtkbTlruq\">pic.twitter.com\/fJtkbTlruq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cosmopolitan (@Cosmopolitan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cosmopolitan\/status\/803968095459115008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 30, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the BuzzFeed \u201cscoop\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><em>Their church, Antioch Community Church, is a nondenominational, evangelical, mission-based megachurch. And their pastor, Jimmy Seibert, who described the Gaineses as \u201cdear friends\u201d in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NDxZDO5IrLc&amp;t=1304s\">recent video<\/a>, takes a hard line against same-sex marriage and promotes converting LGBT people into being straight\u2026.When reached by phone, Antioch Community Church\u2019s communications director pointed me toward the church\u2019s website under \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/antiochcc.com\/about\/beliefs\/\">beliefs<\/a>,\u201d where it states, \u201cMarriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>At the time, Daily Wire founder&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/thoughtfascists-buzzfeed-cosmo-attack-gaines-ben-shapiro\">Ben Shapiro<\/a> mocked the attack: \u201cSo the headline here is actually: \u2018OH MY GOD SOMEBODY GOES TO A CHURCH WHERE THE PASTOR ACTUALLY BELIEVES THAT HORRIBLE BIBLE THING.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, here\u2019s the wonderful thing about America: the Gaines family can go to a church where the pastor believes homosexual activity is a sin,\u201d Shapiro explained. \u201cThey can even believe it. So long as they don\u2019t mistreat anybody \u2013 and there is not one single solitary shred of evidence that they have \u2013 they\u2019re free to do so. They can hold beliefs! Yes, even Bible believers are allowed to believe things! In fact, that was the reason the Pilgrims came to the United States!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he idea here is that the Gaines career must be destroyed for their religious thoughtcrime,\u201d he added. \u201cThey are not allowed to think things. They aren\u2019t even allowed to go to a church where the pastor says things with which they might not even agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the interracial couple was attacked for being \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/media-paint-chip-and-joanna-gaines-as-racists-for-donating-to-relatives-campaign-opposing-critical-race-theory\">racists<\/a>\u201d because they&nbsp;donated $1,000 to Chip\u2019s sister\u2019s local school board campaign, which aims in part to stop highly controversial critical race theory from being taught in schools.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fixer-uppers-chip-and-joanna-gaines-say-divorce-is-not-an-option-for-them\">Fixer Upper\u2019s Chip and Joanna Gaines Say Divorce is \u2018Not an Option\u2019 for&nbsp;Them<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/media-paint-chip-and-joanna-gaines-as-racists-for-donating-to-relatives-campaign-opposing-critical-race-theory\">Media Paint Chip And Joanna Gaines As Racists For Donating To Relative\u2019s Campaign Opposing Critical Race&nbsp;Theory<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
