Demi Sims has finally spoken out about her bitter family feud with her sister Chloe.
The 27-year-old TOWIE star has not been on good terms with her sister, 42, and is now shedding light on what drove them apart on their OnlyFans reality show, House Of Sims, which follows the siblings’ lives alongside brother Charlie’s girlfriend Georgia Shults.
At the height of the row, Demi and her sister Frankie fled the US and returned to Essex – with the pair yet to make up with their older sister.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Demi explained that the argument came down to admin and money, saying: ‘My side was that there was an argument about the Wi-Fi bill because we all needed our names on the bill to get credit to live in LA. ..
‘Charlie, Chloe and Georgia all went out to put their names on and me and Frankie were left a bit in the dark. Me, Charlie, Chloe and Frankie all paid equally for this house and Georgia didn’t pay…
Demi Sims has finally spoken out about what caused the bitter family feud with her sister Chloe, noting she ‘will always say what’s wrong’
The former TOWIE star, 27, has not been on good terms with her older sister, 42, but ultimately shed light on what drove them apart recently (pictured together in March 2022)
“We felt, ‘Why does Georgia get the credit and we don’t?’ So it came out, which I feel was a fair argument.”
The TV star told her side of the story when her sister Frankie, 28, and Charlie, 31, had the row, saying she ‘tried to stay out of it’ despite the row also involving her.
Still, the disputes increased the tensions between the siblings, after which some ‘teams’ in the family were formed.
“But by the end they had already formed a team, so of course I took Frankie’s side because it was morally wrong,” Demi said.
‘So that’s my side, I’m a fair person and I’ll always say what’s wrong and what’s right and in my eyes it wasn’t right.
Demi revealed that the upcoming scenes will be hard to watch as there is still a year after there is no sign of mending their relationship: “This was over a year ago now,” she said.
‘It could have been squashed so easily, just saying listen, let’s just agree to disagree and move on. But unfortunately it didn’t, it actually got worse and then Chloe got involved and it all went downhill…
‘Also, our side of the story with Chloe was that she talked down to us for a long time, so that’s why we didn’t talk to her for a long time. I know they have another side, but this is mine and Frankie’s side.’

The reality star described the feud as ‘really fierce’ and said she’s never really had an argument before with Charlie or Chloe (Chloe pictured)
Although the former TOWIE sensation pointed out that she doesn’t really ‘want anyone to be super involved’ in the matter and would rather it stay in the family.
The reality star described the feud as ‘really tough’ and said she’s never really had an argument before with Charlie or Chloe.
She said: ‘I know they are my brother and sister, but not even a stupid little petty one. So this was obviously a really big situation for all of us, so that’s why it’s escalated so badly.’
Demi described that the hardest part was having to show up and film for their latest and second season of House Of Sims while having these arguments.
She said: ‘I’ve had really bad anxiety because obviously they’re my older brothers and sisters and I just felt nervous about seeing them and so was Frankie…
“Even just filming with them, it just wasn’t easy. And even now, when you watch it and relieve the moment, it’s not easy to look back.’
Having the family’s ‘dirty laundry’ on TV was ‘tricky’ for Demi, who described it as ‘really hard’ to have everyone out there ‘watching and giving their opinions’ on something so personal.
The influencer describes the feud as a ‘huge thing’ for both her and Frankie because she doesn’t consider herself an argumentative person.
‘I really stay away from drama. Through all TOWIE I wasn’t an argumentative person, I had like a little argument over the course of three or four years in there. I’m really not that kind of person, she said.
‘I think they waited and apologized and we expected an apology, but you’ll have to wait and see. Obviously they think they are right and we think we are right.
So I think that’s the main problem, is the excuse. It’s getting worse and worse. It could have been nipped in the bud so quickly, but the apology was obviously never going to come out of either side, so that’s why it escalated this far.

Teasing the upcoming season of their family’s dramatic reality show on OnlyFans, Demi said: ‘Season two has a lot more drama, a lot more tears than season one…
‘It’s a bit of a crazy one, to be honest, because I never saw this coming. I really never saw this coming in Season 1. So it’s a bit of a shock that a year later my whole life has changed.’
The star added that the series will be so ‘unfiltered’ and she claimed that ‘nothing is being scripted’, giving each member of the family the opportunity to tell their ‘own opinions and all our sides of the story’.
Discussing her strong bond with Frankie, she said: ‘I feel it’s important for me and Frankie to have our voices heard. We are human at the end of the day and we have our own opinions.’
‘We also have such a strong sister dynamic, it’s been nice to have each other to lean on in all of this because it’s been really hard for both of us.’

The TOWIE star described it as one of ‘most stressful year of my entire life’ and praised her ‘strong sisterly bond’ which makes her feel ‘lucky’.
‘I think it’s hard to go on reality TV without someone by your side. You just have to make sure you’re surrounded by good people and trustworthy people, especially in reality TV.’
She added bluntly: ‘People are going to have negative opinions about you, but you have to believe that there are people out there who love you and send you so much positivity, so you have to block out the negative and give light to the positive. No one is ever going to be fully loved.’
Opening up about moving back to Essex in England, she said: ‘I still have a love for America where we were over there going through a really tough time with the family, all I wanted was to get home to my flat. get in my bed and see my mom and dad and be with my friends.
‘So we came home and I’ve moved on with my life back here. I don’t know what’s going to happen next series, if we’re going to have to fly out again, I have no idea what’s going to happen.
Demi added: ‘I’ve made a lot of great friends over there that I feel I’ll have in my life for a very long time. So when I fly over and see them, it’s exciting, and then I come back here and see my family and friends. I feel it has a good balance to it.’

The ITV sensation seems to have a lot on her plate as she is over the moon after signing a brand new deal with Netflix.
She stated: ‘I literally can’t believe it, it doesn’t feel right. I’m in my 20s and being on Netflix is a big deal. I cried when I found out, I was just so shocked and couldn’t believe it….
‘I’m buzzing and I hope it makes the show wonder and people get to see our personalities and get to know us for who we are and I just hope it makes it all worth it.’
She described it as a ‘pinch me moment’ and expressed her gratitude for the dream she is living. The Sims family is also set to launch their own podcast.
Giving an insight into the new project, Demi teased: ‘We’ve got our podcast coming out this Sunday because obviously we had some time in England between filming in LA.
‘We have some really big names, not your typical reality TV people. We’ve got a few of them, but we’ve got some really big names coming up, so we’re just going to drop them in and out.
‘I’m really excited about it, I think we can go really far with this. It’s also perfect timing with season two, so hopefully that will help our algorithm on our podcast.’
The new broadcast program will feature a range of topics, from banter to dating stories, to ‘a guy going deep into his mental health’ and telling life stories.
“But me and Frankie bounce off each other and talk about our lives and what we’ve been up to,” she added.
