Gemma O'Neill breaks silence on loss and online abuse
1 Apr
Summary
- Agent Gemma O'Neill revealed a miscarriage after a period of online abuse.
- Her company, Gemmie Agency, went into liquidation with a $550,000 tax bill.
- O'Neill purchased a $1 million home shortly before her company's collapse.
Gemma O'Neill, 42, has publicly addressed her recent social media absence, revealing a devastating miscarriage. This personal loss occurred while she navigated intense online criticism and her company, Gemmie Agency, faced liquidation with a $550,000 tax debt. O'Neill explained she withdrew from personal Instagram use to protect her mental health during pregnancy.
Her company's financial collapse, owing over $543,000 to the Australian Taxation Office, became public knowledge. This followed news of her purchase of a $1.025 million home in the Southern Highlands late last year. O'Neill stated she could not make repayment contributions due to limited savings and income.
Despite these adversities, O'Neill confirmed her "Her Best Life" retreat with Meghan Markle, scheduled for April 17-19, will still take place. She expressed anticipation for the event, highlighting the need for community support and looking forward to interviewing the Duchess of Sussex.
O'Neill acknowledged the "hurtful and inaccurate" media coverage but cited legal reasons for not detailing business matters. She emphasized her integrity while also noting the "disgusting and scary" level of online abuse she experienced, prompting her temporary retreat from social media.
