Real Housewives of Sydney‘s Victoria Montano has allegedly been caught selling real fur items through a secret Instagram account despite asserting that she’d stopped selling fur.
ICYMI: During the fifth episode of the reality show, Dr Kate Adams and Terry Biviano called out Victoria for wearing a fur-collared coat to an animal conservation park.
Despite telling the other housewives she no longer sells fur in episode six, many items listed as “faux fur” on Victoria’s website, Sport Luxe, claimed to contain real fur in the product description.
However, on November 15, Victoria told Daily Mail Australia that these item descriptions were “human errors”.
“Out of the 50 products I sell on my website, only two items [contained] a fur trim. Both items were removed in May 2023,” she said. “They were the Classic Winter Vest and the Showstopper.”
She continued: “I sell both items with fake fur trim as an option and have done so since I launched the range two years ago.
“My website designer uploaded these fake fur options two years ago with the correct title but copied the text of the fur item underneath.
“That is the simple but very boring explanation of what has happened here. Human error!”
However, it appears this isn’t true because as revealed in episode 330 of the So Dramatic! podcast, Victoria has allegedly been selling REAL fur this whole time through a secret IG account!
And who’s gonna tell her that nothing’s really a secret in the digital age…
Real Housewives of Sydney’s Victoria Montano ‘NEVER’ wanted to ‘STOP selling fur’
One source told So Dramatic! that the housewife “never wanted to stop selling fur” in the first place.
“During the show, she was forced to stop selling fur and basically shamed out of the fur trade and had to shut her fur operations down due to the mounting pressure,” the source dished.
“She got so much pressure during the show that Krissy [Marsh] and Nicole [O’Neil] pulled her aside and said: ‘You’re going to have to stop’.” Yikes.
They told Victoria she was “bordering on being cancelled”, prompting her to take her fur items off her website.
However, she’s since started an Instagram page to sell her real fur items.
But here’s the kicker. The account is called @victoria_montano_shop.
And if she wanted to remain discreet, wouldn’t it make sense to use a different name? LOL!
There are several brand-new fur items for sale on this page.
One listing in particular reads: “FOR SALE: REDUCED $1,900. It’s luxury @fusalp with the softest most elegant fox fur collar (not to be confused with the shearling version they do for less… this is the real deal!).”
However, So Dramatic! noticed that several items listed on her Instagram account were also for sale on her Sport Luxe website, but were listed as containing “faux fur”. And we’re SHOOK!
Is she selling real fur but pretending it’s faux fur? And what’s with the confusing AF product descriptions?
The jury’s still out on this one!
Items in RHOS’ Victoria Montano’s store have changed from ‘real’ fur to ‘faux’ fur overnight
But wait, there’s more!
Screenshots obtained by So Dramatic! show one of her coats being listed as “100 per cent fox fur” in June, despite claims that she’d stopped selling fur in May.
Another coat on the website miraculously changed from real fur to faux overnight, despite it being the exact same product. And our suss-o-meters are going OFF right now!
RHOS‘s Victoria Montano is EXPOSED for sourcing her furs from China despite claiming they were from Turkey
Victoria has also told her Sport Luxe customers that all her furs were made in Turkey.
“It’s always better to source your furs from Europe. Mine come from Turkey. I pay more on the premise that it’s all farmed,” she previously wrote on Instagram.
However, So Dramatic! can reveal that the furs she was selling were actually from China, where fur farming isn’t done ethically.
PETA, the largest animal rights organisation in the world, has explained the immoral Chinese fur trade in depth on their website, explaining the cruel treatment the animals are subjected to. If you’re interested in learning more, you can check that out here.
Victoria’s fur garments were ordered from Chinese wholesaler AliExpress, which she sells for a HUGE markup on her website.
For example, one of the jackets listed on Sport Luxe for $890 can be purchased from AliExpress for $290.
Another coat can be purchased from AliExpress for $330 but is sold on Sport Luxe for $1,289.
And this is a lil’ dodgy considering she’s told her customers that these are her own designs and she’s sourcing the fur from Europe…
When approached for comment, Binge denied all claims, telling So Dramatic! that Victoria doesn’t have a “secret Instagram page”.
However, the receipts don’t lie!
So Dramatic! has also contacted Victoria for comment.
