Sydney eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher has slammed rumours she was the ‘other woman’ behind power couple Shelley and Anthony Sullivan’s shock marriage split.
The MCoBeauty founder and her accountant husband of seven years parted ways two weeks ago after an explosive argument.
The row prompted Anthony to leave the country and head to the US, while his wife moved into the five-star InterContinental Hotel in Double Bay.
Reports have wrongly insinuated that Kristin, a Double Bay business owner and mum-of-two, was involved in the split, which she says is ‘unequivocally false’.
‘This is absolutely not true,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.
‘I am so sick of being the clickbait in all of these stories and having to defend myself over something that I’ve got nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with.
‘Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well in this country – the rumours just keep getting more outrageous every day.’ Kristen Fisher said

‘The truth is I’ve only been with one person of late,’ she added.
Kristin, who has had her fair share of headlines over the years, said there was no bad blood between herself and Shelley Sullivan, a long-time friend.
‘This rumour is not true – along with every other story that my name gets dragged into,’ Kristin said.
‘Tall poppy syndrome is alive and well in this country – the rumours just keep getting more outrageous every day.’
Kristin’s comments come one day after Shelley was seen being comforted by her mum, Kerrie, in Sydney’s financial district, where her multi-million-dollar business is based.
The pair looked visibly distressed as they shared a tender moment in the midst of her marriage breakdown.
Shelley told Daily Mail Australia she would not be commenting on the marriage break-up.
‘Shelley is absolutely shattered by the split,’ a close friend said.
‘Anthony was her rock, she’s devastated – her marriage was everything to her.’
The businesswoman’s close-knit group of friends are doing their best to support her.

The couple split abruptly two weeks ago, with both the beauty mogul and her accountant husband moving out of their marital home in Bellevue Hill
‘She has an amazing network that has just put their arms around her at this time,’ the friend added.
Anthony is an accountant and CEO of Quantaco which provides financial services to companies in the hospitality trade.
The couple had known each other for years and were friends before starting to date, and then tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Point Piper in 2016.
The pair have since moved out of their $11,000-a-week heritage-listed rental mansion Leura in Bellevue Hill.
Shelley made her mark in the 1990s with her model and talent agency before launching her thriving ‘masstige’ beauty brand ModelCo in 2016.
Masstige is a retail term referring to a product that is marketed as ‘prestige’ or premium but is in fact mass-produced and inexpensive.
The beauty boss launched her brand’s Tan Airbrush In a Can more than 20 years ago and it still sells a bottle every 36 seconds worldwide.
She is also credited with introducing the world to the first heated eyelash curlers.
ModelCo has overtaken legacy beauty brands like L’Oréal, Maybelline and Rimmel in the Australian market.
The likes of Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elyse Knowles have represented the internationally famous line.
In 2022, MCoBeauty was approached by a large Australian conglomerate that acquired a portion of the business.
The brand is on track to generate $247million in the 2024 financial year.
