Mina Starsiak Hawk Details Why She Left Good Bones and What Might Bring Her Back to TV

A rare on-record account links her departure to family tensions that harmed her health.

Overview

  • Mina Starsiak Hawk, who spoke Thursday on Alison Victoria’s Pap Smear podcast, said she quit Good Bones to protect her mental and physical health.
  • She recalled a “knock-down, drag-out” fight with her mother, Karen E. Laine, and said producers edited most conflicts out of the series.
  • She said rapid growth pushed her into managing family and friends and she called herself a “terrible human manager.”
  • She explained that soaring home prices in Indianapolis made flipping houses unworkable for her business, so she moved toward client projects.
  • She said she is open to TV only under changed terms, is developing her own show ideas, and is currently on Rock the Block season 7 with Vernon Davis.
