Homeowners Kelly and Ken Downs have reportedly claimed that the hit HGTV show Fixer Upper deceived them into buying a house they are unhappy with. Upon making these claims, Kelly says that the area they live in is full of crime and a drunken driver crashed into their home. In addition to these claims, the Downs state that they were harassed and intimidated by Chip and Joanna Gaines of Magnolia Realty. The Downs moved to the city of Waco, Texas shortly after they were selected to appear on the HGTV show. They had desired to live in a Magnolia-designed home, but claim they were deceived by the realtors for putting them in an unsafe area. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTCEY2lFzaO/?utm_sourceig_embed Kelly Downs shared her strong opinions about feeling deceived with the Tribune-Herald. She said, "It's like the Wild West here. There's been a lot of commotion coming from the bars and the store across the street. It's been a problem from the beginning. We've lived here a year and a half and we feel deceived by the city of Waco and Magnolia Realty." https://twitter.com/enews/status/884731022977499136?ref_srctwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E884731022977499136&ref_urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.simplemost.com%2Fangry-homeowners-say-fixer-upper-deceived-them%2F According to reports, the townspeople of Waco are not exactly happy with the Fixer Upper program making its way to the city.
