Real reason behind Chloe Sims bitter two year feud with siblings and the new ‘sister' who has replaced them
THEY appeared to be the UK's answer to the Kardashians with a reality show documenting their big, glamorous move to Hollywood - but two years later, Chloe Sims and her estranged sisters Frankie and Demi are still not even on speaking terms after a very public fallout.

SIBLING RIVALRY 'It's as if Chloe and Georgia are sisters now, and 'They expected this fallout to have been resolved by now, but Chloe's closeness with Georgia has only made the gulf between the sisters even wider.' Chloe, Frankie, Demi, Charlie and Georgia upped sticks to LA three years ago after The show proved a hit with viewers, with OnlyFans renewing the show for season two and Fans were hooked on the drama as the sisters fell out amid the pressures of setting up their new lives in LaLa Land, culminating in an TV BATTLE After weeks of simmering tensions, things finally came to a head after Frankie and Demi learned that They were especially incensed as all four siblings were paying equally towards the apartment, yet Georgia wasn't contributing financially and still getting credit. There is still so much bad blood in the water. A source close to the Sims clan 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. 10 Viewers were stunned as family tensions unravelled on the OFTV and Netflix series Credit: OFTV 10 Chloe has remained in LA while Frankie and Demi have told pals she has 'changed' Credit: Getty Images - Getty 10 Chloe lives with her daughter Madison in Hollywood Credit: Instagram / Madison Sims '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. A family friend '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. 10 Frankie, Demi and Chloe in closer times back in 2023 Credit: The Mega Agency 10 Georgia and Chloe remain joined at the hip Credit: Getty Images - Getty '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.' 10 Frankie and Demi are unsure if the rift can ever be resolved, say pals Credit: Splash

'Who's ready?': Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios shocks fans by announcing OnlyFans partnership following split from girlfriend
Nick Kyrgios has shocked fans by announcing a new gig with Only Fans TV (OFTV) just months after splitting from his long-term girlfriend. The 30-year-old Aussie tennis player has partnered with streaming platform OnlyFans TV to co-host a new reality series titled Smash City. Joining adult film star Rachel Starr and TV personality Sophie Stonehouse, Kyrgios fronts the four-part show, which pits eight OnlyFans creators against each other in a series of high-stakes pickleball games for a $20,000 prize. "Who's ready to smash?" OFTV captioned the promotional video for the series, which launched on June 13. The former world number 13, who became a part-owner of the Major League Pickleball team Miami Pickleball Club last year, is no stranger to the platform, having signed up to OnlyFans in 2023. "I enjoyed hosting it, and I love competition in general," Kyrgios told Complex in May. "Pickleball for me is very close to tennis, so that instantly caught my interest." As for his own account on the site, the Wimbledon finalist said he values being able to share more of his personal world without venturing into explicit territory. "I think the perception of OnlyFans is slowly changing," he said. "I'm able to share a lot more of my personal life. I always do a lot of tennis content, but there's also things that I do in the gym and in my everyday life. "I'm able to give my fans what they want." The career pivot comes just months after Kyrgios confirmed his split from his girlfriend of four years, influencer Costeen Hatzi, in April. The pair had started dating in 2021 after meeting via Instagram when Hatzi was selling a mirror. Following their breakup, the 25-year-old told the Daily Telegraph on April 8 that "life's been good". "I'm still going on with work and I have a few different brands that I'm working with at the moment," Hatzi said. "I'm grateful to have this life and hopefully keep on going." Around the same time, Kyrgios also announced he would miss Wimbledon for the third consecutive year, due to ongoing injury issues. He hasn't competed at the tournament since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final. "Just wanted to give everyone a quick update- I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year," he wrote on Instagram in June. "This is just a bump in the road, though, and I'm already working hard to get back stronger than ever." While sidelined from the court, Kyrgios has continued his commentary work, though this year he was snubbed by the BBC for Wimbledon coverage. "It's unfortunate but it's probably their loss more than mine," he told The Guardian on June 21. "When someone's beaten Federer, Nadal, Murray and Djokovic and has incredible insights, it's very strange you wouldn't want that person adding knowledge to tennis fans." Instead, Kyrgios shifted focus to his own YouTube podcast 'Good Trouble with Nick Kyrgios', hosting a live show in London just days before the start of the tournament with Scottish broadcaster Gordon Smart.

OnlyFans owner 'in talks' to sell racy website for whopping $8 BILLION
OnlyFans owner Leonid Radvinsky is set to sell the racy subscription-based platform for a whopping $8 billion. According to Reuters and Variety, Radvinsky is in talks to sell the porn-centric website to Los Angeles-based investment firm Forest Road Company. The Forest Road Company already boasts a variety of investments in the entertainment industry. 'The talks with the Forest Road-led group are not exclusive and there's no timeline for when a deal might be consummated,' Variety reports. Ukrainian-American businessman Radvinsky made a fortune as the founder of adult webcamming website MyFreeCams, which launched in 2004. In 2018, he bought a 75 percent stake in OnlyFans' parent company Fenix International Ltd. from its British founders Tim Stokely and his dad Guy Stokely. The platform ended up exploding during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in 2022, Radvinsky made Forbes' list of Jewish billionaires. While OnlyFans hosts all kinds of creators, it's largely known for its pornographic content. Several years ago, the site started pushing PG-rated content on their safe-for-work streaming platform, OFTV. OnlyFans has put in extra effort to promote everything from cooking videos to celebrity comedy specials and reality shows on OFTV, following growing criticism and a 'porn' stigma around the platform. All the content on OFTV comes from OnlyFans creators, but unlike the actual OnlyFans platform, no nudity or pornography is allowed. OFTV has brought over a number of celebrity creators to do less risqué content, most notably American comedian and podcaster Whitney Cummings. Cummings joined the site in 2022 so she could post some of her edgier jokes behind a paywall without being 'taken out of context' on more mainstream social media apps. 'I know people like to make fun of [OnlyFans] because there are naked ladies on there. I just decided, if the audience is going here, as a comedian there's something worth checking out here,' she told Variety last year. She added: 'I wouldn't have the self-esteem to charge people to see my naked body. Instead of dirty photos, you're gonna see dirty jokes.' Other mainstream names on OFTV include fashion designer Elena Velez, comedian Brittany Schmitt, and reality star Heidi Montag, who released a music video on the platform. Last year, the CEO of OnlyFans revealed that the company has paid out $20 billion to its creators since its inception in 2016. CEO Keily Blair was speaking at the Bloomberg Screentime conference in Los Angeles when she revealed the incredible figure. 'Porn is free on the internet. I think the reason why people pay for OnlyFans is because they want to engage with those particular creators,' Blair said. 'It's because of the ability to customize as well as to ask for a specific content.' She continued, 'Everyone assumes it's sexy content. Some of it sexy content and we're very happy with that, we're an inclusive platform, and we're that way for a reason. 'We believe it's very important for adult content creators to have a safe space, to be able to monetize and also to be able to do that alongside other content creators. 'We're all adults, we're all grownups, we can all choose what content we subscribe to.'

Nick Kyrgios takes next step with reality TV star
Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has decided to embrace his 'bad boy' label in his new life without social media influencer Costeen Hatzi. The relationship between Hatzi and Kyrgios broke down at the end of March, closing the curtain on a romance that started in 2021. Now Kyrgios is moving on, however, and is set to feature in a new show with reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse (of Too Hot To Handle fame). The show is called Smash City and is based around a pickleball competition ... but there is an adult-theme twist and it is being hyped as 'spicy entertainment'. It will be a four-part series with eight OnlyFans celebrities involved, playing various pickleball games (that will be 'silly and suggestive') for $20,000. Kyrgios and Stonehouse are hosting, while adult actress Rachel Starr will umpire the games. Nick Kyrgios with adult actress Rachel Starr and reality TV star Sophie Stonehouse. Credit: OFTV The eight OnlyFans creators involved are reality show contestants Nathan Webb and Joey Joy (also Too Hot to Handle), sports stars Adi Spiegelman (a former professional tennis player and model) and Sachia Vickery (US tennis player), and models Nellie Cronen, Kayla Fitzgerald, Trippie Bri, and Steph Mi. The show has a launch date of June 13. Meanwhile, questions are being asked about the company Kyrgios has recently been keeping. Just yesterday, Kyrgios made headlines after featuring in a photo with rapper Ay Huncho. The photo was taken at the Frucition nightclub in Canberra earlier this month, and it sparked headlines because Ay Huncho is allegedly a member of an underworld clan in Sydney. 'Keep waiting on it @ayhuncho,' Kyrgios captioned the photo, which Ay Huncho re-shared. Ay Huncho real name is Ali Younes. Younes is out on $1.8 million bail as he faces kidnapping and assault charges and was also involved in a fight at Parklea Correctional Centre in June last year. In the property game, Kyrgios is hoping to fetch close to $2m for the three-bedroom, two-bathroom rooftop unit with access to a pool in Kensington, which he bought for $1.6m in 2022. The asking price for the unit he used as his Sydney base is $1.8m. The woman he had been spending his time there with in the Harbour city, Hatzi, said she had moved on from the troubled sports star. 'I'm loving my work and doing content every day,' she told The Herald Sun. 'We haven't spoken. Relationships come to an end. I believe it's for the best. 'I hope he finds peace and happiness within himself.' On the court, Kyrgios is set to play in the French Open for the first time in eight years in the doubles draw with Jordan Thompson. He is not expected to head to Roland Garros until later this month, having last played there in a second-round loss in 2017. - With The Nightly
