Demi Sims has finally spoken out about her bitter family feud with her sister Chloe.
The TOWIE star, 27, hasn’t been on good terms with her sister, 42, and now shed a 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.
The extremity of the argument was so severe that Demi and her sister Frankie fled the USA and returned to Essex – with the pair yet to make up with their older sister.
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Demi explained that the argument stemmed from admin and money, saying: ‘My side was that there was an argument over the Wi-Fi bill because we all needed our names of 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 in the dark a little bit. Me, Charlie, Chloe and Frankie were all paying evenly for this house and Georgia wasn’t paying…
Demi Sims has finally spoken out on what caused the bitter family feud with her sister Chloe remarking she will ‘always say what’s wrong’
The former TOWIE star, 27, hasn’t been on good terms with her older sister, 42, but ultimately shed a light on what brought them apart recently (pictured together in March 2022)
‘We felt like “why is Georgia getting the credit and we’re not?” So that’s what it came from, which I feel was a fair argument.’
Telling her side of the story, the TV star remarked when her sister Frankie, 28, and Charlie, 31, had the argument she did ‘try to stay out of it’ despite the argument involving her too.
Yet the quarrels increased tensions between the siblings, at which point some ‘teams’ within the family where formed.
‘But in the end they had already formed a team, so I obviously did take Frankie’s side because it was morally wrong,’ Demi said.
‘So that is my side, I’m a fair person and I’ll always say what’s wrong and what’s right and in my eyes that wasn’t right.
Demi revealed the upcoming scenes will be hard to watch as still a year on, there are no signs of repairing their relationship: ‘This was over a year ago now,’ she said.
‘It could’ve 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 was talking down to us for a long time, so that’s why we didn’t speak to her for a long time. I know they have a different side, but that’s mine and Frankie’s side.’

Although, the former TOWIE sensation pointed out she doesn’t really ‘want anyone to be super involved’ in the matter, and would rather it stay within the family.
The reality star described the feud as ‘really tough’, and said she has never really had an argument before with Charlie nor 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 us all so this is why it’s escalated so bad.’
Demi described the hardest part was having to show up and film for their latest and second season of House Of Sims while having these squabbles.
She said: ‘I’ve had really bad anxiety, because obviously they’re my older brothers and sisters and I just felt nervous to see them and so was Frankie…
‘Even just filming with them, it just wasn’t easy. And even now watching it and relieving the moment, it’s not easy to watch it back.’
Having the family’s ‘dirty laundry’ on TV was ‘tricky’ for Demi, which described ‘really hard’ having everyone out there ‘to see and give their opinions’ on something so personal.
The influencer describe the feud as a ‘huge thing’ for both her and Frankie, because she doesn’t consider herself an argumentative person.
‘I really stay out of drama. Throughout all of TOWIE I was not an argumentative person, I had like one tiny argument in the space of three or four years on there. I’m really not that kind of person,’ she said.
‘I think they were expecting and apology, and we were expecting an apology, but you’ll have to wait and see. Obviously they think they’re in the right and we think we’re in the right.
‘So I think that’s the main issue, is the apology. It’s getting worse and worse. It could’ve been nipped in the bud so quickly but obviously the apology was never going to come out of either side, so that’s why it escalated so 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 mad one, to be honest because I never saw this coming. I genuinely never saw this coming in season one. So it’s a bit of a shock that a year later my whole life has changed.’
The star added the series will be so ‘unfiltered’ and she claimed ‘nothing is being scripted’, giving the chance to every member of the family to tell their ‘own opinions and all our sides of the story’.
Discussing her strong bond with Frankie, she said: ‘I feel like it’s important for me and Frankie to have our voices heard. We are humans at the end of the day and we do carry our own opinions.’
‘We have such a strong sister dynamic as well, it’s been nice having each other to lean on throughout this because it’s been really hard for both of us.’

The TOWIE star described it as one of the ‘most stressful years of my whole life’ and praised her ‘strong sister bond’ which makes her feel ‘lucky’.
‘I think it is hard to go on reality TV without someone by your side. You just need to make sure you’re surrounded by good people and trustworthy people, especially in reality TV.’
She added bluntly: ‘There are going to people who have negative opinions of you, but you’ve gotta think there’s also people out there who love you and send you so much positivity, so you need to block the negative ones and give light to the positive ones. No one is ever going to be loved fully.’
Opening up about moving back to Essex in England, she said: ‘I still have a love for America, where we were over there and going through a really hard time with the family, all I wanted to do was come home to my apartment, get in my bed and see my mum and dad and be with my friends.
‘So we did come home and I have carried on with my life back here. I don’t know what’s going to happen next series, whether we’re going to have to fly back out, I have no idea what’s going on.
Demi added: ‘I’ve made a lot of good friends over there, that I feel I will 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 like it’s got quite a nice balance doing that.’

The ITV sensation seems to be having 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 real. I’m in my 20s and to be on Netflix is such a big thing. I was crying when I found out, I was just so shocked and couldn’t believe it…
‘I’m buzzing and I’m hoping it does the show wonders and people can 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 a glimpse into the new project, Demi teased: ‘We have our podcast coming out, which is dropping this Sunday because obviously we had some time in England between filming in LA.
‘We’ve got 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 on, 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 the perfect timing as well with the season two, so hopefully that will help our algorithm on our podcast.’
The new broadcast programme will present a variety of topics, from banter to dating stories, to ‘a guy going deep into his mental health’ and telling life stories.
‘But me and Frankie do bounce each other and talk about our lives and what we’ve been up to,’ she added.
