The ensuing clash
'That was back in January 2024 and eighteen months later, there is still so much bad blood in the water,' explains our source.
'Frankie and Demi basically feel like Chloe got too big for her boots after they moved to the States and started to believe her own hype. When they called her out on it, she chose their brother and Georgia over them because they never stood up to her or gave her a reality check.
PICKING SIDES
'It didn't help that Chloe,
'Chloe picking Charlie is one thing, he's one of the siblings at the end of the day, but they feel so hurt by her tightness with Georgia, who isn't related to any of them by blood.

'They feel like Georgia should have done more to heal the rift between the sisters, but they believe she's made it worse because she tells Chloe what she wants to hear.
'Charlie and Georgia have always been happy to act like it's The Chloe Sims Show and the rest of them are supporting players, whereas Frankie and Demi didn't tolerate that. They believe she treated them like they should be grateful to her for their success and fame.'
Pals in
Family is about more than just DNA. Georgia gives Chloe the sisterly support she doesn't get from Frankie and Demi.

'Chloe doesn't expect Demi and Frankie to kiss her a*** but she was on Towie first and did pave the way for them to have a platform, yet she doesn't feel like they have ever acknowledged that.
'SCAPEGOAT' FURY
'With Georgia, she feels like she gets the sisterly love and support she's not had from Frankie and Demi. Georgia always has her back and sometimes 'family' is about more than just sharing the same DNA.
As for Georgia, she feels like Frankie and Demi are making her the scapegoat.
'Yes, Chloe and Georgia are incredibly close, but it's not her fault that the sisters have fallen out, ' explains our insider.

'She's not there to play referee in a family feud. She's always been tighter with Chloe than Frankie and Demi, but any disputes between the sisters are between them and not her.
'Of course Georgia thinks it's sad that the siblings aren't on speaking terms, yet she doesn't believe it's her job to fix that.
'She has her own relationship with Charlie to focus on, as well as own brand as a podcaster and beauty influencer, so she doesn't have time to fixate on the family tensions.'
SPEAKING OUT
While The Sun has reached out to reps for Chloe and her sisters, last year, Chloe admitted she had regrets over the rift.
They're family and the last people I expected to have a falling out with, ' she said. 'Obviously, I regretted my actions because I don't want to be in that headspace, all stressed out and arguing. I just want a nice, easy life."
She also explained that
Meanwhile, when quizzed on whether she has had any contact with Chloe late last year, Frankie said: We are out of the loop so everything is pretty much the same as how it was.'
THE FUTURE
So what hope is there for that the Sims sisters might put this ugly beef behind them?
'Never say never, but right now there is no sign of a peace deal on the horizon,' says our insider. "If things carry on the way they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they never speak again."
'Chloe feels like her sisters have been really nasty to her, and she's all about the positive LA lifestyle now. She loves them because they are her sisters, but she doesn't really like them as people. She doesn't want any toxicity in her life.'
'Meanwhile, Frankie and Demi feel like Chloe has lost touch with her roots and got lose in a plastic Hollywood bubble.
'Nobody seems to want to budge or bend on this one, and as long as that's the case, it's a complete stalemate.
'Ultimately it's really sad because, even if they do make up one day, they can't get back all this lost time together.'

Sam Gilliam: IMMA exhibition underlines impact of Irish visits on output of US artist
Sam Gilliam was an American abstract artist who revolutionised the display of work in gallery spaces. Draping unstretched canvases from the ceilings, and arranging industrial fabric on the floor, he blurred the line between painting and sculpture, and helped shape the development of installation art in the 1960s and '70s. Gilliam broke ground also by becoming the first African American artist to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale in 1972. By the time of his passing, aged 88, in June 2022, he had enjoyed any number of public commissions and major museum shows across the US. Although Gilliam is not as well-known on this side of the Atlantic, he visited Ireland in the early 1990s, and was greatly moved by the experience. His stay is commemorated in Sewing Fields, the new exhibition of his work curated by Mary Cremin and Seán Kissane at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Kilmainham, Dublin. 'When we first started talking about this exhibition,' says Cremin, 'I met Gilliam's widow, Annie Gawlak. She came to IMMA and told us about how Gilliam had completed a three-week artist's residency at the Ballinglen Art Foundation in County Mayo in 1993. 'Gilliam normally worked on large canvases with petroleum paints, but he wasn't allowed to bring those paints on the plane, so he dyed and painted fabric and sent it on ahead to Ballinaglen. And when he got there, he worked with a local seamstress to collage pieces of the fabric together, so they're kind of stacked on top of each other. You'll see one of those pieces in the exhibition, it's part of a series of four called Cottages. I think the experience was quite transformative for him.' Gilliam was one of the many international artists who have spent time in Ballinaglen with the support of the arts foundation established in the early 1990s by Margo Dolan and the late Peter Maxwell, who owned a prestigious art gallery in Philadelphia. The foundation runs workshops, residencies and fellowships, along with education and outreach programmes and a museum of art. 'It's this amazing place in the middle of the village,' says Cork-born curator Cremin. 'People like Howardena Pindell, who we've shown at IMMA, and Jo Baer, who was very influenced by the archaeology in the area, have all done residencies there. It's very interesting that Ireland has had a real impact on these artists, and a real resonance with them in terms of art making.' Down Patricks-head, by Sam Gilliam. When Cremin began work on the Sewing Fields exhibition, she discovered that Gilliam had once shown in Dublin. 'In the early 1970s, he had a solo exhibition with a gallerist named Oliver Dowling, who passed away just last year. Dowling was a maverick, and quite an influential person within the arts in Ireland. He helped set up the ROSC exhibitions. But it was news both to Annie and to us that Gilliam had ever exhibited in Ireland. We don't think he came over for the opening, but everyone involved is dead now, so it's not possible to say for sure.' Gilliam was born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1933. 'Growing up where he did,' says Cremin, 'where there's a massive cotton industry, he was probably seeing a lot of quilting and that type of making. We have an exhibition of quilts from Gee's Bend in Mississippi on at IMMA at the moment, and we know that Gilliam had several Gee's Bend quilts in his own art collection. There's a correlation between this idea of stitching and layering, telling narratives through the fabrics, that I think is referenced in his work as well.' In Gilliam's youth, his family migrated north. He studied art at the University of Louisville in Kentucky and then settled in Washington DC. 'He was part of the colour field movement, with people like Kenneth Noland. They made minimal abstract paintings. But later on, he made works that were much more three-dimensional, or sculptural, and he started really playing around with the paint, scraping, stitching and layering. There was really a lot of improvisation. 'He was very interested in jazz as well. Improvisation is very important in jazz, of course, but it's also very important to the kind of way he worked. There were no limitations in terms of how he worked with paint or with the canvas. He was very liberated.' Gilliam came of age during the Civil Rights Movement in America. 'That was, very obviously, hugely important to everyone,' says Cremin. 'And for Gilliam, being a black artist coming up at that time was a big deal, because it was predominantly white males in the art world. He wasn't making work that was overtly political, he was making art for art's sake. But that said, he was very involved in the establishment of the Studio Museum in Harlem, and he was part of a very important exhibition called X in America. 'And also, I guess he does engage politically, in that a lot of his paintings are called after significant black figures, like Martin Luther King. There's one piece in the exhibition here called Count On Us, which is this beautiful three-coloured canvas that's referencing when Obama was voted in as president. It was a very aspirational and very exciting time. So, he referenced politics in a different way.' Mary Cremin, curator. Sewing Fields was organised in collaboration with the Sam Gilliam Foundation, which is run by the late artist's family. 'Gilliam was very supportive of young black artists, and his foundation has continued that work,' says Cremin. 'They also collaborate on exhibitions such as this, ensuring that Gilliam's work is shown as he would have liked. Some of the work in Sewing Fields has never been shown before, and some of the technicians who'd been with Gilliam since the 1980s came over to help with the installation. 'It's only two years since Gilliam passed, but I guess it's important for his work to continue to grow, and for people to have an increased awareness around him. In terms of contemporary Ireland, this is not just the first time he's been shown here since the 1970s, it's his first museum show here as well. Many of these works have never been exhibited before, and many people are travelling over from America to see the show. It's really exciting for us.' Gilliam's time in Mayo may have been brief, but the landscape had a big influence on his work, says Cremin. 'Even towards the end of his life, he was making these really large paintings, with thick impasto, he called Downpatrick Head and Irish, County Mayo. As Annie says, he always referenced back to his time in Ireland.' Sam Gilliam, Sewing Fields runs at the Irish Museum of Modern Art until January 25, 2026. Further information:

Concern over future of planned €300m Wicklow film studio
Concerns have been raised about the future of a €300m film studio planned for Greystones in Co Wicklow because three years after the project was launched, there has been no sign of progress. Locals say there's a lack of information about what's happening to the site, and expressed concern about the €24m of taxpayers money committed to the project. They say if the media campus, which was expected to create 1,500 jobs, is no longer viable, the land should be used for other business purposes. Plans for state of the art studio and production facilities on the 44 acre site were unveiled to much fanfare in 2022, promising to build Ireland's largest tv and film campus, which was to have begun operating in 2024. A consortium called Hackman Capital Partners took a lease on IDA land for the Greystones Media Campus for 999 years at just under €600 a year Louise Gaskin, Chair of the East Wicklow Business Network, says her members are concerned about the lack of progress on the site and the "void" of information about the project. "It would bring a lot of community employment and it would bring for businesses locally, huge economic development. "Lying idle, it's becoming an ugly site, overgrown, just lying there doing nothing. "First of all we were being told it was about the actors strike going on. Then we were told it's commercially sensitive. Then we're getting blanks. "No one's coming back with information. So who has the information? Someone has to know something." Ms Gaskin said that - if there are questions about the viability of the project - she would like to see the lease agreement revoked and the land put to other business use. Since the launch of the Greystones Media Campus three years ago, planning permission has also been granted for a large media campus in South Dublin called Dublin Fields. However, those in the industry say that the facilities at Greystones are still badly needed. Larry Bass, Founder and CEO of ShinAwil Productions, says the lack of studio space in Ireland meant that his company had to build a new studio to film Dancing With the Stars when it returned after Covid-19 lockdowns. He said that, despite global uncertainty and the threat by Donald Trump of tariffs on the industry, Ireland's film industry personnel remain in demand, but the lack of studio space is a barrier to attracting productions here "Apple, Amazon, Netflix, the BBC, the big American networks, these studios will all still, thankfully, be creating new shows. "We're an English language country, we've got a fantastic crew base. "It has evolved from, maybe five or six thousand people working in the industry 20 years ago to over thirty thousand people, highly skilled, highly sought after. "All we need is the raw material, the place, to build. And you know, this has never been a truer statement. If you build it, watch them come." The Department of Finance said that while investment is likely to be on a phased basis, it can't say how much of the €24m committed to the Greystones Media Campus has been spent to date. It also says that the current Minister has not had any engagement on the project from the Irish Strategic Investment Fund or the consortium behind it, Hackman Capital Partners. A spokesman for the consortium said that they will make a statement on the project in the coming months.
