It wasn’t a very merry Christmas for these A-listers and their moms. From Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian to Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber, a handful of celebrity mother-daughter duos had trouble over the holidays.
While filming the eighth and final season of their HGTV show, Good Bones, Mina Starsiak Hawk, 36, and mom Karen E. Laine, 61, had a “knockdown, drag-out [fight] during demo,” Mina’s admitted. Right before Christmas, Mina said on her podcast that she’s no longer speaking to co-star Cory Miller. Days later, Karen was accused of betraying her daughter by posting an Instagram photo with Cory! “It felt petty, like Mina was stabbed in the back,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “The holidays were miserable.”
