Mina Starsiak Hawk Says Mom Karen E. Laine Texted Her Asking to Talk Amid Family Rift

“We do not talk. We haven’t in a long time," the 'Good Bones' star said on her podcast 'Mina AF'

Mina Starsiak Hawk has been candid about her falling out with her mom and brothers — but amid the family drama, she says her mother and Good Bones co-star, Karen E. Laine, recently reached out.

On the latest episode of her podcast, Mina AF, the HGTV star revealed, “I got a text from my mom this morning saying maybe we should talk.”

“We do not talk,” she continued. “We haven’t in a long time. It was early this morning, and I just didn’t really know what to do with it.”

Starsiak Hawk said that since she's spoken out on their relationship, some people want to judge her for “not forgiving and forgetting because it’s family and blood is thicker than water.”

“Those people can think what they want, but it’s so complicated,” she added.

Starsiak Hawk started her Indianapolis-based company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, with Laine in 2007. Laine stepped back from the company in 2019, but continued to appear on Good Bones alongside her daughter and their team.

Starsiak Hawk announced in August that the series was coming to an end after its eighth season, which is currently airing on HGTV.

When filming the final season, she told PEOPLE, “There were definitely some challenging [moments] because my mom and I were in some of the most challenging places I felt we've been.” In the season premiere, which aired Aug. 15, for example, she says she and her mother had just had “a knockdown drag-out [fight] during demo.”

“I was like, ‘I wonder if anyone's going to be able to tell,’” she says. “And of course, you can't because that's the idea. People . . . that's not why they're tuning in to watch Good Bones. That's not what they want.”

Starsiak Hawk also reflected on setting boundaries when it comes to family events on the podcast episode, titled "I'm a Hot Mess."

“I am not super comfortable being around some of my family members right now,” she said. “But situations occurred where I was around some of them, so now, moving forward, other family members expect me to be able to be at things because I was around them and it was fine.”

On the Aug. 28 episode of Mina AF, Starsiak Hawk opened up about a dilemma she faced over whether to address conflicts with her mom and brothers, Tad and William, ahead of her 5-year-old son Jack’s birthday party. (She and husband Steve Hawk are also parents to daughter Charlie, who turned 3 in September.)

“My brother Tad and I aren’t in a great place,” she said at the time. “My brother William and I are in a kind of like a nonexistent place. It’s complicated without even being complicated. We don’t really engage much and the last engagement wasn’t super positive, and that was maybe a year ago.”

“We all always coexist,” she continued. “We went on family vacation together and everyone is pleasant enough around each other. And is that the good thing, the right thing, or is that all just being wildly dysfunctional?”
