Welcome to The Group Chat with Lucy Manly, where Australia's most trusted society insider shares the hottest gossip before it makes the news.

School gate chatter 

If there were an Olympic event for oversharing on social media, Double Bay beautician Kristin Fisher would surely be standing atop the podium.

Fisher has raised more than a few sculpted brows with the recent hard-launch of her younger boyfriend, prompting chatter among parents at the exclusive Catholic girls' school in Sydney's east attended by her daughter.

Her latest squeeze, Shannon Sykes, a 28-year-old Morgan Stanley finance worker from the , was pictured sporting a T-shirt bearing the charming slogan, 'Your mom is my cardio', while Fisher's daughter sat nearby flipping off the camera.

Classy.

She has only just clawed her way out of social Siberia - now, Kristin Fisher is attracting the wrong sort of gossip among the private school mums, and it's all thanks to her latest squeeze

Parents have been in touch with me to express their disapproval, saying they are weary of Fisher's online antics - including this photo of her 28-year-old boyfriend wearing a 'Your mom is my cardio' T-shirt while Fisher's daughter sat nearby flipping off the camera

Parents at the school have since been in touch with me to express their disapproval, saying they are weary of her online antics, including regularly posting photos of her daughter in uniform.

Never mind Fisher's history getting busted buying a bag...

It comes as the 41-year-old appears to be clawing her way back into high society after being absent from several recent guest lists, including Alyce Tran's engagement shower and Deb Symond O'Neil's Wuthering Heights-themed soirée in March.

She charmed her way into the annual fundraiser hosted by the Buildcorp Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Buildcorp, where mental health was the cause du jour.

The event was hosted by Bernadette Sukkar and her husband Jordan Sukkar, son of company co-founders Josephine and Tony Sukkar.

One can only hope Fisher and her toyboy dug deep for the cause.

Donut king weds

The Cranbrook set dusted off their tuxedos last Saturday for the wedding of Jack Atkinson (Class of 2012) and his longtime partner Amelia Schremmer, in what is already being dubbed the ' society wedding of the year'.

Jack, 31, is the son of lawyer John Atkinson, whose claim to fame is bringing Krispy Kreme to Australia in the early 2000s... which I suppose makes his son a donut heir?

I'm told that Jack and Amelia - who first crossed paths at Royal Randwick - live in Darling Point with their toy poodle, Tommy, who recently stole the spotlight after planting a kiss on Prince Harry and charming Meghan Markle into delivering tummy rubs during the couple's visit to the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.

Blushing bride Amelia, 27, is no stranger to pedigree herself.

A sculpture graduate of the National Art School, she is the granddaughter of celebrated industrial designer Paul Schremmer OAM.

These days, Jack oversees the venture portfolio at Riverbend Investments, the Atkinson family office backing a string of early-stage tech plays.

Larcombe's luck runs out

Sydney's eastern suburbs love nothing more than a rise and fall - and few collapses have proved as compelling as the unravelling of former funds-management golden boy Clayton Larcombe.

Once the face of a lucrative portfolio spanning banking, venture capital and flashy Dubai AI investments, things are now looking decidedly bleak for Clayton.

The financier is on bail and reportedly in rehab after being charged earlier this year over the alleged assault of his wife, Kyara.

Last month, non-bank lender AltX secured Supreme Court of NSW orders to seize control of the most prized asset in the Larcombes' debt-ridden portfolio: their Bellevue Hill mansion, positioned opposite the Packer family's Cairnton estate.

The five-bedroom property has quickly become one of the area's most talked-about homes after being placed on the market by lenders earlier this year.

I hear there was plenty of rubbernecking last Thursday when cashed-up hopefuls descended on the Double Bay Highland Property Group offices of power agent David Malouf for the hotly anticipated auction.

But despite the buzz, not a single bidder was willing to raise a paddle. It's a tough market out there.

Still, all is not lost, and I expect several buyers will be jostling for a private sale.

It's a brutal prospect for the couple, who snapped up the blue-chip address for $33.5million in 2023 and enlisted celebrated architect Rob Mills to design a jaw-dropping $16.29million transformation that was set to turn the already impressive residence into a true showstopper.

Instead, those grand plans now appear firmly consigned - maybe even permanently - to the scrapheap. What remains is a financial mess involving no fewer than seven caveats on the title.

At the centre of it all is AltX, run by Steven Beinart and Nicholas Raphaely, which is sitting on a whopping $33.75million mortgage over the property at a punishing 19.3 per cent interest rate. Yikes.

When Larcombe's prized PAC Capital collapsed in March, the former high-flyer reportedly had just $12,000 left in the bank.

Freshly lodged corporate filings have laid bare his $24million debt web, revealing a financial empire now overdue, in liquidation and owing lenders millions.

It marks a hell of a fall for the man who once fancied himself at the top of Sydney's funds management pecking order, even emblazoning the PAC Capital name across a gleaming tower overlooking the harbour.

The numbers tell a far less glamorous story.

Documents filed with ASIC show that PAC Capital owes creditors almost $896,252, while another Larcombe-linked entity, LGE Holdings - the company tied to his Bowral mansion - is carrying at least $24million in debt to a trio of lenders.

His Southern Highlands wedding venue, La Gemme Estate, is the latest casualty of the financial wreckage after being tipped into administration.

To top it all off, he is also understood to owe the taxman at least $306,956 in unpaid tax claims.

Who's your daddy? 

Once a high-flying hospitality king, Opel Khan seems to have gone from flashy success to Centrelink survival, with the disgraced restaurateur suffering yet another blow as his financial and personal woes continue to spiral.

Just a year after the collapse of his restaurant empire, the self-styled 'high-profile' chef and his company have been ordered to pay more than $33,000 after underpaying staff at his now-defunct Potts Point fine-dining establishment Metisse.

Court documents paint a bleak picture of a man on the brink.

In a bruising ruling, Judge Cameron ordered Khan, 57, to personally pay $5,600 in penalties, while his company, Metisse Bar and Restaurant, was fined $28,000 after failing to comply with Fair Work Ombudsman notices directing it to backpay two migrant workers more than $7,700 in unpaid overtime, penalty rates and minimum entitlements accrued over just eight weeks.

Khan, a father of three, told the court his circumstances had dramatically deteriorated: he separated from his wife of 26 years in early 2024, had been forced to sell his Porsche and Bentley, and was now surviving on just $714 a fortnight in Centrelink payments.

What hasn't figured so prominently in business coverage of Khan is the incredible mess that is his personal life - easily as dramatic as the downfall of his dining empire.

His estranged wife, Julie Miller, 55, previously revealed their marriage was over after she was tipped off that her husband had allegedly been involved with French-born retail assistant-turned-restaurant adviser Celia Huppe-Fournier.

Huppe-Fournier, who welcomed a daughter in December 2024, later said she was 'not sure' whether Khan was the father, insisting to the Daily Mail that she had 'no idea' and describing their relationship as merely 'amicable'.

She said they first met through luxury watchmaker Panerai, where she worked as a retail assistant while Khan served as a brand ambassador.

These revelations marked a sharp reversal from Khan's earlier insistence that he and Miller were still 'very much together'. So determined was he to squash the speculation that he arranged a joint interview with his wife to shut down what he dismissed as 'gossip' - in what is surely one of the stranger phone calls of my career.

That denial, of course, has not aged well.

The breakdown of the marriage spilled into the courts, with separate apprehended violence order applications naming each other before Burwood Local last year.

Miller, who until recently used Khan as her surname, attended one mention with her right arm in a cast, though it was never suggested Khan was responsible for the injury.

Final orders were imposed by consent on March 6, 2025, with both parties legally bound for 12 months not to assault, threaten, stalk, harass or intimidate each other. No admissions of wrongdoing were made.

For a man who once presided over ritzy Sydney restaurants, it is a remarkable fall.

These days, Khan appears to spend his time posting AI-generated slop to the Instagram account that boasts an eyebrow-raising 2.6 million followers, but funnily enough gets hardly any 'likes'.

Nepo nose 

Krissy Marsh is keeping it in the family - when it comes to surgeons, at least.

The Real Housewives of Sydney star, 54, has revealed she and son Nicco, 20, both went under the knife with the same specialist earlier this year, after sparking speculation with a Mother's Day post showing the uni student sporting a discreet nose bandage.

Krissy says that son Nicco's procedure was reconstructive, blaming years of rugby knocks

But before anyone cries nepo-nose: Krissy insists that Nicco's procedure was reconstructive, blaming years of rugby knocks. One of his mates from his rugby team also had the same op recently, she said.

As for Krissy, she's just debuted her third rhinoplasty, and says it was less about vanity, more about finally being able to breathe properly after a botched job at 18.

'I hadn't been able to breathe for ten years,' she admitted, revealing the five-hour op, handled by Dr Sim Choroomi, even required 'part of the cartilage from my rib'.

Still, Krissy is owning it, bandages and all - even stepping out to her daughter's 18th birthday mid-recovery. 'Don't ever miss out on something because you're worried about what others might think,' she declared.
