A bitter feud has unfolded between Sydney influencer Elle Salagaras and lawyer Carla-Rose Brett following the abrupt termination of their decade-long friendship. The conflict erupted after a lavish Barbie-themed hens weekend hosted by Brett, which has since become a focal point of public interest and speculation.
The troubles began around three weeks ago during the celebratory event. Guests included Brett’s sisters and close friends, but the fallout from the party has overshadowed the festivities. Salagaras was reportedly uninvited from Brett’s wedding via text message, a move that has sparked widespread discussion across social media platforms.
On November 3, Salagaras took to Instagram, where she posted a reel of herself dancing in a bikini, accompanied by a pointed caption that expressed her feelings about being cast aside. The caption read, “I’m okay with being the villain in your story because you’re the loser in mine,” indicating deep emotional turmoil stemming from the fallout.
In a subsequent comment, which has since been deleted, Salagaras revealed that she had funded much of the hens weekend, including business class flights and accommodations, only to be told that her “values don’t align” with those of Brett. The specific reasons for this alleged misalignment remain unclear, but it is evident that the situation escalated significantly during the party.
While the details of their disagreement have not been fully disclosed, the public nature of Salagaras’ social media posts has drawn attention. She shared her frustrations after being removed from the bridal party, stating, “Got uninvited from the wedding (as a bridesmaid) in a TEXT after she let me fund her whole hens weekend.”
As the wedding day approaches, tensions appear to remain high. On the same day that Brett celebrated a bridal lunch at a harbourside restaurant in Sydney, Salagaras posted a meme suggesting that those who speak negatively about you are merely envious.
Attempts to reach Carla-Rose Brett for comment resulted in a polite decline to address the situation. Similarly, Salagaras has chosen not to provide further insight into the feud. Both women have unfollowed each other on Instagram, signaling a definitive break in their once-close relationship.
This incident is not the first public fallout for Salagaras. Earlier in the year, she experienced a similar conflict with fellow influencer Cindy Kilian, which stemmed from a disagreement related to a restaurant visit. This pattern of discord highlights the complexities and pressures often faced in personal relationships, especially within the public eye.
As the wedding approaches, the impact of this fallout continues to resonate within the influencer community, leaving many to wonder how such a long-standing friendship could unravel so dramatically. For now, it seems unlikely that Salagaras will be attending the celebration, marking a poignant end to a friendship that once thrived for ten years.
