When Family Feuds Go Public: A Closer Look at the Starsiak Sibling Drama
Family drama is a dish best served hot, and the Good Bones fanbase is definitely feeling the heat. Recently, loyal viewers of the hit HGTV show have been chiming in about the ongoing feud between Tad Starsiak and his sister, Mina Starsiak Hawk. It all unfolded on Instagram, where Tad, the 30-year-old general contractor, shared a video offering some reflective advice about resolving conflicts. Fans couldn’t help but notice the irony and quickly chimed in, urging the siblings to mend fences.
In the video, Tad shared some thoughtful questions people should ask themselves when they’re feeling upset with someone. He posed queries like, “Are my expectations reasonable?” “Am I angry at the right person?” and “Can I really change this situation?” While the advice seemed universal, fans couldn’t help but see parallels to his situation with Mina. The tension between the siblings has been simmering for quite some time, and now it’s bubbling over in public forums.
Tad's Reflection: Is He Thinking Too Much?
One commenter on the post wrote, “I hope this applies to you and Mina. Life is short.” While Tad didn’t respond directly to this comment, other followers piled on with their thoughts. One fan added, “I wish I knew the whole story about what went down there… it pains me to see family not talking.” The comment section quickly turned into a forum for fans to speculate and weigh in on the situation.

Another viewer suggested that the feud might just be for attention, pointing out, “Is there really a problem, or is this just drama for drama’s sake? Maybe someone is being petty or overreacting.” Clearly, the sibling rift has sparked a lot of curiosity and concern among their loyal fanbase.
Tad Responds: Lost in Thought or Deeply Reflective?
Not long after the post went up, Tad took the time to respond to one particular comment. A follower had written, “Just an observation… perhaps you spend way too much time in your head? Like you are lost in finding your way forward.” The comment continued, “I think you need to spend less time in your head and find some new exciting things to fill your time and space. Not a criticism but spending so much time in your head is exhausting and frankly counterproductive.”
Tad replied thoughtfully, thanking the commenter for their input. He clarified, “Hey there, I appreciate the thoughtfulness and care, but I’m not feeling lost at all. I don’t find there to be anything wrong with being in your ‘head.’” He went on to explain, “The way you see the world lies in your thoughts, and the quality of those thoughts affects your biological body in profound ways. Some of the greatest minds ever lived in their heads—Mozart, Tesla, Edison, Jung, Freud, Nietzsche, and more.” Clearly, Tad is a deep thinker who values introspection.
Behind the Feud: Mina Opens Up
Mina, 39, first revealed details about the tension with her brother during an episode of her “Mina AF” podcast in August 2023. The realtor explained that Tad had sent her some “really awful stuff” via text, leading to their fallout. Since then, the siblings haven’t really been on speaking terms. They finished filming the final season of Good Bones last year, and now they seem to be moving in different directions.
Mina, a mom of two, is focused on her career and family life, while Tad is currently engaged to Anna Spiars. Despite the rift, Mina shared her coping mechanisms with podcast listeners in January 2024. “I’m working really hard at creating some balance by making some different life choices, continuing to see my therapist, and taking a little dose of Wellbutrin,” she revealed. Clearly, both siblings are navigating their own paths, but fans are hopeful that they’ll eventually find a way to reconcile.
