Shelley and Anthony Sullivan marriage split: Eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher slams rumours she’s the ‘other woman’ behind MCoBeauty founder’s shock marital breakdown
Sydney eyebrow queen Kristin Fisher has dismissed rumors she was the ‘other woman’ behind power couple Shelley and Anthony Sullivan’s shock wedding split.
The MCoBeauty founder and her accountant husband of seven years split two weeks ago after an explosive argument.
The row prompted Anthony to leave the country for the US, while his wife moved to the five-star InterContinental Hotel in Double Bay.
Reports have falsely insinuated that Kristin, a Double Bay business owner and mother of two, was involved in the split, which she says is “unequivocally untrue.”
“This is absolutely not true,” she told Ny Breaking Australia.
“I’m so tired of being the clickbait in all these stories and having to defend myself over something that I had nothing, and I mean NOTHING, to do with.
“The Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and well in this country; the rumors are becoming more scandalous every day.” said Kristen Fisher

“The truth is, I’ve only been with one person lately,” she added.
Kristin, who has had her fair share of headlines over the years, said there is no bad blood between herself and her longtime friend and the beauty guru.
“This rumor is not true, just like every other story involving my name,” Kristin said. Kristin said.
‘The Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and well in this country; the rumors are becoming more scandalous every day.”
Kristin’s comments come a day after Shelley was comforted by her mother, Kerrie, in Sydney’s financial district, where her multi-million dollar business is based.
The couple looked visibly sad as they shared a tender moment amid the breakdown of their marriage.
Shelley told Ny Breaking Australia she would not comment on the breakup of the marriage.
“Shelley is absolutely devastated by the split,” said a close friend.
‘Anthony was her rock, she is devastated – her marriage was everything to her.’
The businesswoman’s close group of friends do their best to support her.

The couple abruptly split two weeks ago, with both the beauty mogul and her accountant husband leaving their marital home in Bellevue Hill.
“She has an amazing network that has their arms around her right now,” the friend added.
Anthony is an accountant and CEO of Quantaco, which provides financial services to companies in the hospitality industry.
The couple had known each other for years and were friends before they started dating, then tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Point Piper in 2016.
The couple have since moved from their $11,000-a-week Grade II listed rental home Leura in Bellevue Hill.
Shelley made a name for herself in the 1990s with her modeling and talent agency before launching her thriving ‘masstige’ beauty brand ModelCo in 2016.
Masstige is a retail term that refers to a product that is marketed as ‘prestige’ or premium, but is in fact mass-produced and cheap.
The beauty boss launched her brand’s Tan Airbrush In a Can more than two decades ago and a bottle is still sold every 36 seconds worldwide.
She is also credited with introducing the world’s first heated eyelash curlers.
ModelCo has overtaken older beauty brands such as L’Oréal, Maybelline and Rimmel in the Australian market.
Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elyse Knowles have represented the internationally renowned line.
In 2022, MCoBeauty was approached by a large Australian conglomerate who acquired part of the company.
The brand is on track to generate $247 million in fiscal 2024.
