Olivia Molly Rogers finally breaks her silence on bitter feud with former stylist 'bestie' Paul Versace
The pair were once all but attached at the hip as the former Miss Universe Australia, 33, attended events with the fashion guru, holidayed lavishly together, and welcomed him as a guest on her podcast, Tell Me More.
Paul, 31, even played matchmaker as he introduced Olivia to her ex Morgan Waterhouse and current boyfriend Hugo Breakey – but it seems the friends' tight bond has come to an end.
Olivia took to Instagram on Wednesday to answer a fan's question about the pair's relationship.
Responding, Olivia admitted their parting of ways was due to geography.

'I get a lot of questions on here whenever I do a Q&A which I do understand because we used to spend a lot of time together,' she wrote.
'So, just to address it gently - he moved to Sydney and we are not working together any more.'
Olivia rounded out her post with a hint that there may have been a fractious element to their relationship.
'Sometimes friendships shift, but I will always wish him nothing but the best,' she added.
While Olivia and Paul still follow each other on Instagram, the model was last seen on his company account, Styled By Bloom, in September 2024.
Paul styled the beauty for the Spring Gala event at Flemington Racecourse in Victoria, but she has not appeared on his styling account since.
The friends were typically spotted together at all the major Melbourne events, including Melbourne Fashion Week and the F1 Glamour on the Grid event, as they worked together to craft extravagant looks for the occasions.
However, Olivia appears to have hired a new stylist for all her red-carpet appearances so far this year.
As for their personal Instagram pages, Paul wiped all traces of Olivia from his personal account last week while he was on holiday in Japan.
Meanwhile, Olivia still has pictures of Paul on her page, with the last one being posted in June last year—though she continued to tag his styling account up until September.
Speculation has arisen that their bust-up may be linked to Olivia's split from her ex Morgan, as he was also friends with Paul, who first introduced the couple in early 2023.
However, this is currently uncertain as Paul also introduced Olivia to her current boyfriend Hugo following her split from Morgan in December 2023 after seven months of dating.
Speaking about the bestie bust-up in March, Outspoken podcast hosts Amy, Sophie and Kate Tauber claimed Molly's break-up with Morgan was behind the split.
'When it comes to a break-up, you try and be friends with both parties originally and it gets to a point where that is no longer possible,' they said.
They then questioned: 'Perhaps he has picked Morgan over Olivia?'
Olivia revealed in July last year the details of how she had a chance meeting with Hugo thanks to Paul, as she participated in a Q&A with fans on Instagram.
When one follower asked how the lovebirds met, Olivia responded: 'I love the story of how we met so I'm happy to answer.
'It was out at a bar in Melbourne. My stylist Paul spotted him on the dance floor and went over.
'He said, "You're handsome, are you single? I have the perfect girl for you." Then told him to stay there.
'P came and grabbed me, pulled me over and put me in front of him.
'And the way Paul describes it, "There were love hearts popping in the sky all around you both." So Paul is the ultimate wingman.'

Credit: Getty The star in question is actress-of-the-moment Sydney Sweeney. The Hollywood star underwent a major body transformation to portray boxer Christy Martin, 56. In a new picture released to promote the film, the actress looked worlds away from her usual glam self in the upcoming movie which will be released in September. The bio-pic, which is simply called Christy, tells the boxer's incredible story, which saw her once be left for dead. More on unrecognizable stars GUESS WHO Legendary 70s sitcom star unrecognizable after quitting TV to work as a director Originally haling from West Virginia, Christy is credited with putting women's boxing on the map. She won 49 fights, with 32 by way of knockout, in a career that began in the late 1980s, and was represented by legendary promoter Don King. However, behind-the-scenes manager James 'Jim' Martin, who she married in 1991, made her life a living hell by beating her physically and mentally. All the while, Christy, who is gay, was wrestling with her sexuality and identity. In 2010, Martin tried to kill Christy by repeatedly stabbing his wife, before shooting her in the chest. Sydney Sweeney stuns in elegant blue dress at glitzy UK premiere of her latest movie The attack reportedly occurred after an argument at home - - somehow she survived the attack. Martin, who was 25 years Christy's senior, was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He died in jail last November, while serving his sentence at Graceville Correctional Facility in Florida. Understandably, Christy's astonishing story caught the attention of Hollywood. Speaking about Sydney playing her in the forthcoming film about her incredible life, she said: "I think she is young, hot, talented." She also added that the actress was "making a movie that in 20+ years, fathers will watch with their daughters to make them aware of domestic violence". While Sydney said of Christy: "Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope, and I'm honored to step into her shoes to share her powerful story with you all." Christy now works as a promoter and has been married to Lisa Holewyne. 6 Fans are used to seeing Sydney more glamorous Credit: Getty

Selling Sunset's Emma Hernan, 33, SPLITS from 'MAGA boyfriend' Blake Harris, 28, after her ex-best-friend Chrishell Stause's fiery feud with him
Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan has split from her boyfriend Blake Harris, months after her ex-best-friend Chrishell Stause became embroiled in a fiery feud with him. The realtor, 33, was first publicly linked to developer Blake, 28, in December after dating for a year, but the pair are now believed to have gone their separate ways. Emma took to her Instagram Stories on Monday to hint at her relationship status as she described herself as 'single' while on a helicopter ride with her friends. Filming herself flashing the peace sign, a caption read: 'POV: You're single for the summer getting your passport stamped.' Emma has not officially confirmed her split from Blake or addressed their relationship status, though TMZ first reported they had gone their separate ways. MailOnline has contacted Emma's representatives for further comment. The news of their split comes after Emma's former best friend Chrishell, 44, became embroiled in a very public spat with Blake, accusing him of saying 'pronouns are dumb' The news of their split comes after Emma's former best friend Chrishell, 44, became embroiled in a very public spat with Blake. In May, Chrishell, 43, responded to a comment on Instagram after fans noticed the once inseparable friends had not been posting pictures together online. The fan asked: 'What's happening with you and Emma? Hot topic on Reddit.' Chrishell made some bombshell allegations about Blake as she replied: 'Ask her about her MAGA bf who told me pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word. 'I just can't with that. Too old to allow that in. But love her from afar.' However, real estate agent Blake broke his silence on her allegations and claimed to have only met Chrishell 'a handful of times'. 'The meeting at Ms Stause's home took place in January 2024, and this was the last time I saw or spoke to Ms Stause,' he claimed.

'The only time we had a real conversation was when I met Ms Stause at her house with Emma. I regretfully referred to G Flip as Ms Stause's wife,' he claimed. 'Ms Stause corrected me that they were partners and that G Flip goes by the pronoun them. 'Since, I have respectfully used the preferred pronouns.'
