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.
While the spat between the siblings played out on their short-lived series House of Sims, now insiders are revealing the real reason things turned so sour between the former Towie brood, and the person that came between them.

Those in the know claim that 43 year-old Chloe’s closeness with her brother Charlie’s fiancee Georgia Shults, 33, who also moved out to LA with the gang in 2022, is the main factor behind the deep rift between the once-tight sisters.
“Frankie and Demi feel like they have been replaced by Georgia,” a friend of the family tells The Sun.
SIBLING RIVALRY
“It’s as if Chloe and Georgia are sisters now, and Frankie and Demi are strangers to them. Frankie and Demi basically felt like they were pushed out, and Chloe has no time for them anymore.
“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 signing a six-figure deal deal with OnlyFans’ OFTV to film a series about their efforts to make it in America.
The show proved a hit with viewers, with OnlyFans renewing the show for season two and Netflix even picking up the rights to become the series’ second streaming home.
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 epic screaming match while filming the second series.
TV BATTLE
After weeks of simmering tensions, things finally came to a head after Frankie and Demi learned that only Chloe, Charlie and Georgia’s names were put on the WiFi bill for the family’s apartment - making it difficult for them to build a credit score in their new country.
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.

The ensuing clash led to drinks being thrown, Chloe branding her sisters ‘evil users’ and Frankie and Demi leaving LA for good - ultimately putting paid to a planned third series of the show.
“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, Charlie and Georgia all decided to stay out in the States, despite their show not coming back, whereas Frankie and Demi have no interest in returning. This has only made the chasm between them all even deeper - it’s essentially become two different camps.
“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.

“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 Chloe and Georgia’s camp, however, tell a different story.
Family is about more than just DNA. Georgia gives Chloe the sisterly support she doesn't get from Frankie and Demi.

“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.

“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 she has changed a lot since moving Stateside, saying "It sounds really weird but I've realised that Chloe from TOWIE doesn't exist any more."
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.”
