dispute
One of the most high-profile controversies was a 2017 legal battle when a couple sued Drew and Jonathan Scott over a substandard renovation of their home, which had been featured on Property Brothers. The couple claimed the renovation work was poorly done and demanded damages.
The lawsuit received a lot of media attention, with many speculating about the impact it could have on the Property Brothers’ brand.
The case was ultimately settled out of court, but it highlighted the challenges and scrutiny that comes with reality TV fame.
Another controversy was rumors of a possible rift between Drew and his twin brother, Jonathan. Fans and media outlets speculated that the strained relationship between the brothers was due to their busy schedules and different career priorities.
However, Drew and Jonathan publicly addressed the rumors, saying that while they occasionally have their disagreements, their connection remains strong and their partnership is as strong as ever.
In 2020, Drew was criticized for his involvement in promoting a commercial real estate investment scheme.
Some investors claimed they were misled by the scheme’s promise of high returns and felt deceived by Drew’s endorsement. The controversy led Drew to publicly apologize and stress the importance of due diligence and transparency in business dealings.
