In addition to Donovan Eckhardt's building violations, both he and Alison Victoria were sued for fraud in 2020 regarding two Chicago homes that they flipped. The owners of both of the homes said that the construction was faulty and that they had essentially been duped into buying homes that they paid more than $1 million for. While Victoria only contributed to the design of the houses, her name was, nonetheless, dragged through the mud. Per People, Victoria spoke about the lawsuits in an episode of "Windy City Rehab." She said, "They're holding me accountable too. And I have to hold myself accountable. I'm 50% owner on the LLC because I got into business with a person who cost me everything."
At one point, the plaintiffs of one of these lawsuits tried to block her from selling her Chicago home. However, this motion failed. The lawsuits against Victoria and Eckhardt were eventually resolved in 2020 and 2021. Despite this, the tension between the two former costars continued.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Eckhard filed a motion asking for legal help to split his and Victoria's business assets in July 2021. Victoria agreed to this, with the motion stating "the two are currently unable to effectively communicate or cooperatively manage." In 2023, Victoria revealed to People that she had moved on from the past and was grateful to have a fresh start on a new season of "Windy City Rehab" without Eckhardt.
