Alison and Donovan prior lawsuit drama:

Alison and Donovan decided to head their separate ways after legal trouble started clouding up. Season 2 gave an insight into their crumbling relationship as it was revealed that the pair failed to get a loan. At the same time, she finds out a majority of their money has been deposited to Donovan’s company.

“I don’t know what to believe anymore,” Victoria opened up about the relationship. “For so long, I was letting him run all the budgets, do all the bank draws, deal with the bank accounts and I was just designing.

Donovan’s defamation lawsuit drama:

Donovan is now taking matters into his hand as he has filed a defamation case against Discovery Inc. and Big Table Media. The defamation lawsuit is for $2.2 million. However, Alison’s name is not mentioned in the lawsuit.

Donovan claims the accusations made on him through the show impacted his life and career. He further added that he was “placed under constant pressure by Big Table Media to complete the projects being filmed for season one,” as reported by People. The lawsuit hinted these were the reasons that led to the bigger problem.

The lawsuit claimed he and Alison “proceeded with certain work without obtaining approved amendments to necessary permits, without completed inspections, and ultimately received various building code citations which resulted in the temporary suspension of both of their respective licenses and privileges to apply for building permits.”

The defamation case was filed because “Donovan has suffered emotional injuries including anxiety, depression, diminished self-esteem, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, inability to concentrate and embarrassment, and has been undergoing continuous counseling and behavioral treatment.” Discovery or Big Table Media has not responded yet.
