00:00Tia Mori and her twin sister Tamera Mori Housley have always been seemingly inseparable, but
00:05according to rumors, they've had a falling out, leaving fans to wonder, why? And which
00:10other major rumors about Hallmark Channel stars might also be true?
00:14Although Jodie Sweetin and Candace Cameron Bure never worked together in a Hallmark Channel
00:17production, separately, the former Full House and Fuller House co-stars have both been crucial
00:22parts of the network. But in 2022, rumors swirled that the two were on the outs after
00:26Bure made some controversial remarks. Early that year, Bure left Hallmark after appearing
00:30in more than 25 of the network's films to join Great American Family as its chief creative
00:35officer.
00:36When asked about Great American Family's plans to represent LGBTQ plus romances in a November
00:402022 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure said,
00:43"...I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core."
00:47Queer singer and dancer JoJo Siwa criticized Bure's comments in a now-deleted Instagram
00:51post, writing,
00:52This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people. Soon, Sweetin, who made her Hallmark
00:57film debut in 2017's Finding Santa, commented on Siwa's post, saying,
01:01"...you know I love you."
01:02Fans were quick to notice that Bure had stopped following Sweetin on Instagram, and the media
01:06speculated that their friendship had fallen apart. On the other hand, Sweetin and Bure
01:10have since been spotted under the same roof at multiple events, and Sweetin still follows
01:14Bure on Instagram. This suggests that if there is actually a beef between these one-time
01:19It may be one-sided, but neither actor has officially commented on the rumors, so for
01:23now, that's all they are. Rumors!
01:26Hallmark Channel star Bo Murchoff, who starred in the network's 2022 movie Hidden Gems and
01:302023 series Ride, allegedly dated influencer and former actor Brooke Scofield. The rumors
01:35began in October 2023, after Scofield said on her podcast Canceled that she was talking
01:40to a guy.
01:41He is a man that I have been in love with since I was literally 13."
01:46She went on to add that he had ended a very serious relationship, quote, "...alarmingly
01:50recently."
01:51Fans quickly began to speculate that Murchoff was the man in question, as he and Scofield
01:54were filmed doing a pre-show warm-up for a live show of Canceled. Additionally, Murchoff's
01:59engagement to psychologist Jenny Minan was called off shortly before, while his breakout
02:03role in the MTV series Awkward would have been airing when Scofield was a teenager.
02:07With all that said, though, the rumored couple have never addressed the speculation.
02:11Making her Hallmark debut in 2010's Backyard Wedding, Alicia Witt has starred in a number
02:16of the network's films over the years. Witt has always been notoriously private about
02:19her love life, but that hasn't stopped numerous websites from linking her to various men,
02:23including some she's never even met. In 2013, Witt discovered that Google's homepage on
02:28the website Who's Dated Who listed film producer Nathan Folger as her ex-husband, and claimed
02:32she had also once dated legendary musician Eric Clapton.
02:35Witt promptly took to Facebook to set the record straight, saying she had never met
02:39Clapton, and had never married Folger, as the two had only dated in the early 2000s.
02:43She also asked her fans to help get the false info removed from the website, writing,
02:47"...if enough of you submitted feedback on Google that it was wrong, and maybe even posted
02:51the same on whodateswho.com, maybe we could get it removed."
02:54Though the Clapton bit was deleted, the website still lists Folger as her ex-husband, along
02:58with unsubstantiated rumors that she has dated both actor Peter Krause and musician Ben Folds.
03:03Then in 2018, the website Married Biography alleged that Witt was married to an investment
03:07banker at the time, going so far as to claim that their children were named Luke and Emma
03:11Grace.
03:12At the end of August of that year, Witt tweeted out a denial, adding,
03:14"...gotta give him an A for creativity."
03:16The claims have since been retracted.
03:19Twin sisters Tia Mori and Tamera Mori-Housley have starred in various Hallmark Channel movies,
03:23though not together.
03:25In September 2024, rumors began swirling that the two had a falling out.
03:29In a sneak peek of WE tv's new reality show, Tia Mori, My Next Act, Mori candidly spoke
03:33about her 2023 divorce from actor Corey Hardrick.
03:36It's times like this when I feel and wish that my sister and I were still close and
03:42I could pick up the phone and call her."
03:45The statement was enough to make fans question the state of the sisters' relationship.
03:48But in an October 2024 interview with Today, Mori claimed that her words were misinterpreted
03:53and that rumors of estrangement were ridiculous, adding,
03:55"...it is very normal that as we get older, we take on different roles and responsibilities.
04:00Some of those roles are being married and being a mother.
04:02Her children?
04:03They lean on her.
04:04My children lean on me.
04:06I don't know what I meant by that, that we're just not as close in proximity."
04:08Still, Mori said that they currently had no plans to work together again.
04:12You can never say never, but it's just not where things are right now.
04:15Needless to say, for some fans, those comments merely fanned the rumor flames even more.
04:20Since 2014, Bethany Joy Lenz has been one of Hallmark's go-to leads.
04:24On the other hand, her former One Tree Hill co-star Hilary Burton, who joined Hallmark's
04:27team in 2012, left the network after making her fourth appearance in 2018's The Christmas
04:32Contract.
04:33Rumors began swirling that the two had a falling out after Burton cryptically posted
04:36to Instagram,
04:37"...I don't think imitation is the highest form of flattery.
04:40I think it's annoying."
04:41Fans believed she was referring to the cover of Lenz's 2024 memoir, Dinner for Vampires,
04:46which bore a striking resemblance to that of Burton's 2023 memoir, Grimoire Girl.
04:50Adding fuel to the rumors was Burton's July 2024 decision to quit the podcast Drama Queens,
04:55which featured her, Lenz, and their One Tree Hill co-star, Sophia Bush.
04:59According to Burton, she left because the podcast, which re-watched and commented on
05:02One Tree Hill episodes, had gotten through the sixth season of the series, which had
05:06been her last.
05:07Still, in October 2024, Lenz hinted on the podcast Call Her Daddy that there was some
05:11truth to the rumors.
05:12"...There have been some bizarre misunderstandings that I really hope we can figure out one day,
05:17but I love that girl."
05:19Broadway star Laura Osnes appeared in a total of five Hallmark Channel movies from December
05:232019 to November 2021.
05:25But in August 2021, Page Six published a report claiming Osnes had been dismissed from a production
05:30of the musical Crazy for You over safety concerns because she wasn't vaccinated against
05:34COVID-19.
05:35A spokesperson for East Hampton's Guilt Hall, where the show was staged, said,
05:39"...the policy of Guilt Hall is that performers have the option to provide proof of full vaccination
05:43or a recent negative COVID test result."
05:45Osnes took to Instagram to refute the report, saying she wasn't fired but instead quit after
05:49Guilt Hall mandated that every individual involved with the show be vaccinated.
05:53She also said that she wasn't given the option to provide a negative test result instead,
05:57which she said she would have complied with.
05:59A representative for Guilt Hall later confirmed that Osnes was telling the truth and that
06:02the rumors she was fired were incorrect.
06:04They told Variety,
06:05"...unfortunately, there was a miscommunication of our policy, and Laura Osnes voluntarily
06:09opted out.
06:10She was graciously doing this event as a charitable gesture to Guilt Hall, and we look forward
06:14to working with her again in the future."
06:16Joey Lawrence is no stranger to romantic drama, having starred in the 2012 Hallmark film Hitched
06:20for the Holidays.
06:21But he got a lot more than he bargained for when he signed on to headline the holiday
06:26Christmas opposite the movie's writer, Melina Alves.
06:29In August 2024, Lawrence's wife, actor Samantha Cope, filed for divorce.
06:33On August 22nd, TMZ reported that Alves' estranged husband, Edward Ryder, had accused her of
06:38cheating on him with Lawrence in their own divorce paperwork.
06:41The final shoe dropped on August 23rd, when a source told People that Lawrence and Cope's
06:45divorce was fueled by Lawrence's adulterous affair with Alves, saying,
06:48"...Joey met Melina Alves on the set of their movie, where she was a producer.
06:52He then love-bombed her.
06:53He continued to date Melina even after Samantha found out about it and confronted him."
06:57Both Lawrence and Alves denied the allegations in statements shared on their respective Instagram
07:01accounts.
07:02On August 28th, Alves wrote on Instagram that she had been estranged from Ryder since January
07:062023, adding,
07:07"...there was no sexual relationship between Joey and myself while we were on set filming
07:11Socked In for Christmas.
07:12Our relationship was a meaningful friendship that developed naturally due to the many similarities
07:16in our personal situations."
07:18The same day, Lawrence wrote on Instagram,
07:20"...Melina and I became close friends and I did not have a physical relationship with
07:23her while filming the movie Socked In for Christmas.
07:26These rumors are false."
07:27In 2014, rumors spread across the internet that actor Hunter King, whose seventh Hallmark
07:32Channel movie, Holiday Touchdown, A Chief's Love Story, debuted in November 2024, had
07:36accused her The Young and the Restless co-star Michael Money of sexual harassment.
07:40The speculations began in January 2014, when TMZ reported that Money had inappropriately
07:45groped King's breast twice while on the set, and that he was let go from the show on the
07:48basis of the complaint King made to the authorities in 2013.
07:52King quit the show in 2016, but when she returned in 2018, she was subjected to online abuse
07:56from angry fans.
07:58Money took to ex, then Twitter, to refute the rumors, writing,
08:01"...Let me be absolutely clear.
08:03People sending hateful tweets to Hunter King about me must stop.
08:06That internet rumor was false.
08:07It never happened.
08:08She never made those accusations.
08:10She's a talented actress.
08:11Let her do her job without this nonsense.
08:14Spread love, not hate."
08:15For his part, Money said in a 2013 HuffPost interview that he thought his own arrogance
08:19was the real reason he was fired.
08:20"...Part of me feels this is because I've always been outspoken, and sometimes I've
08:24been too outspoken.
08:26Sometimes I've walked around with a big backpack full of hubris.
08:28That is entirely on me."
08:29Still, King has never addressed the rumors, so the truth behind the allegations remains
08:34unknown.
